Fact Of The Matter

When I'm onstage without my glasses (always) I am completely and totally blind.
I grope around for props, I look at and speak to large, moving blogs of humanoid figures.
You know, that's really probably not the best way to act and it's no wonder I trip all the damn time.

Well, it's all fake-believe and when I'm onstage, the other actors may as well be too.

I think it's somehow comforting. And god knows, I can't see the audience and I KNOW that's comforting, not that I'd look at them if I could but still...

So that's it from me right now. I'm about to fly over to Monticello, trudge up those old steps and keep repeating Colin's mantra, "Can you believe we get to do this AGAIN?!"

Love...Ms. Moon

P.S. Can you believe I know how to roll hair? I don't think I'd done it since high school but apparently it's a skill like bike-riding. One never forgets.

  1. Christina- Shops? Forget it. But hey- farm fresh eggs and garden vegetables right outside your back door! And a freezer full of venison! And of course I would not fit into your clothes but perhaps with enough cleverness, I could make it appear as if I do.
    I think perhaps we should do it.
    BLOG SWAP!

  7. You're adorable. I am so grateful for my glasses/contacts. Without them, truly, I would be deemed the village idiot.

  10. Hope this weekend's performances are a blast! You look great.
    I have always been intrigued on certain word pronounciations across the country and rolling hair is one of them. I "curled" my hair as a teen in Calif, but in the South it is "rolling" hair as you say. I still would say I "curled" my hair.

  11. I called it 'setting my hair.' That's what it was called where I lived. I forgot how to ride a bike, but I'm sure I could still put rollers in my hair!
