Light as a feather, stiff as a board

Some friends and I are doing a weight-loss challenge. We each chip in $50; winner clears $300. Woo hoo.

I'm down 9 lbs. so far. Woo hoo, again.

Between the eating right, working out (I got up at 6 a.m. to go to the gym this morning), getting plenty of sleep and drinking gallons of water, I've felt amazing for the last week.

I will admit that having my clothes fit better has perked me up some, too.

And speaking of perking, does anyone else find that they get frisky when they're dieting?

Things You Should Do This Week

Go see two shows before they close.

A Midsummer Night's Dream at Vital Theater on the Upper West Side. Wild, amazing fun. Closes this weekend.

A Myth Cycle: Ahraihsak at Theatre Mitu. Long, but absolutely amzaing show influenced by Asian forms. It uses masks, puppetry, stylized movement and language to tell a story that would have made Joseph Campbell proud. Sublime. Closes this weekend.

Um . . . WTF?

Today I received my online Time Warner bill. It was for $13,567.67.

I think I may drop Showtime and Cinemax.

Sorry

I find that I have nothing to write about.

By the way

My theatre reviewing seem to be going okay. I've had four reviews published and one of my reviews has been blurbed on the show's publicity materials. Woo hoo!

Soon I'll be as famous as . . . um . . . any of those other famous theater reviewers whose names I don't know.

Le sigh.

Speaking of which, if any of you want to join me at a children's theatre show I'm reviewing tomorrow, I'd love the company.

Yeah. I thought not.

So tomorrow, I may blog about my New Year's resolutions.

Yeah, so I'm back

Holidays were fine. In fact, they were actually really great.

Unfortunately, everything has kind of sucked since I got back.

So there you go. Happy 2006.
