a person whos always brilliant is wonderful

MESMERIZED. That is the word to describe me in front of the digital-cable equipped television in my fabulous air conditioned living room. I can't stop watching E!, the channel that provides its own punctuation. I am MESMERIZED. I haven't watched TV on a regular basis in years, and now I can't stop. Well, actually I can. To tell you the truth, I can already feel the novelty wearing off. I mean, how much can one learn about celebrity divorces and plastic surgeries until it all runs together into a big sticky mess? Answer: about a week's worth.

So Henry VIII is opening tonight. After this, our rehearsals are done and all we do is perform shows for the rest of summer. Don't get wrong, I think acting is hard work and all, but sometimes it just feels like such a free ride!
