City Life

It's been awhile

So much news. I'll try to reader digest it.

Trip to CA:
Had a great time. Saw friends and family but not enough. Missed a lot of people when I was out there. I did see many friends in 42nd Street. It was great. Alas my trip, although about two weeks, was too short

Visitors:
Michael Pease came to visit. I saw him a couple days during his trip. We managed to see a couple shows. The Musical of Musicals the Musical and Spamalot. I didn't think I would like Spamalot. I WAS WRONG. I loved it. Even standing for 2 1/2 hours didn't matter. The Musical of Musicals the Musical was fantastic. If you come to NY, you must see it. It's apparently reminescent of Forbidden Broadway but I don't know, never seen it. It's the same story told 4 times in the stylings of Kander and Ebb, Richards and Hammerstien, Sondheim and Jerry Herman. They don't spoof the songs but the styles of these musicals. It's great.

Laura and John Blackwell/George Mauro were here over the 4th of July. We went and saw Light in the Piazza. My roommate is in the show so she let us backstage and gave us a tour. She introduced us to the whole cast. That was neat. On the 3rd there was a bbq at Laura's dad's house. That was fun. Tons of food, all great. It was great seeing all of them and the kids Sammy and Cole.

Job Situation:
Still unemployed. Well, not really. I am temping. Just nothing permanent yet. I have had a few interviews but nothing has been a match yet. I'll hold out as long as I can before I have to go back to foodserving. I felt like a real New Yorker though the last couple of weeks. I walk to the subway in sensible shoes or flip flops, get the metro from the guy at the top of the subway platform, hop on the train and read the metro, walk a few blocks to the job, change shoes into something more work appropriate, work all day and reverse. I like that. Today however I walked all the way to work since I haven't really figured out the buses yet. besides it was only 5 streets and 6 avenues. I went from 49/8 to 54/Park. It took about 20 minutes to walk it. Tomorrow I'll probably start off with a coffee for the trek.

Birthday:
I'll be in CA hopefully July 29 - Aug 7. I'll keep you updated on what birthday plans are but currently there really aren't any. I hope to see you when I am in CA


That's about it for now. I'll try to be more consistent with my blogs. Oh I created a website. It's not finished but you can take a look at www.geocities.com/kimber_gray For now it's just a work reference. I'll soon be putting samples of my work on the site. Now it's just a little about me and my resume. Take a look and let me know what you think.
