Or lack thereof because … dammit … it’s totally sunny outside! This makes me very unhappy.

Update: High Noon
Looks like the snow might have missed us completely.
I am so unhappy about this.

Update: 4:20 pm
Still sunny here in town. I am gonna cry now.

Yeah. As you can guess … I want it to snow. I want it to snow lots. I want to see big flakes of winter magic floating down from the sky. I want to see it blanket the ground. I want it to keep falling until there are 15″ worth of it. I want to build snowmen and an ice cave and throw snowballs at people who annoy me.

More than likely though, we will get an inch if even that. I think I need to move somewhere that gets lots of snow. Maybe Alaska?

“Art” is finished as you have read. Now I have some time off, from theater at least. I really need to get off my lazy duff while it’s still cold and get some things done on the yard. I need to get a couple of the trees trimmed. There is a small bush (of some sort) and rose bush that I want to get moved. I need to clean out the flower beds. I am ultimately lazy about keeping the flower beds in shape. Maybe I should just get rid of them all together. I have a very black thumb as far as gardening is concerned.

On the DVD front … been plowing through the “Doctor Who: The Complete Second Series” DVD set and have been enjoying it so far. David Tennant makes a pretty good (and cute!) Doctor. Criterion’s “Monsters and Madmen” DVD set should arrive tomorrow. Yippie!

And in totally unrelated news … I am seriously considering submitting an application to a be a “model/actor” on a bear porn website. You know … just to see what happens. First I would have to rustle up some … er … good quality photos to submit. Anyone want to come over and help me out? Heh.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM WATCH…WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH LATE THURSDAY NIGHT.

A DISTURBANCE WILL REACH THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS ON THURSDAY. GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS THURSDAY MORNING AND WILL STRENGTHEN INTO THE AFTERNOON. THESE WINDS WILL COMBINE WITH THE PASSING DISTURBANCE TO SUPPORT SEVERAL BANDS OF SNOW SHOWERS…POSSIBLY BEGINNING EARLY THURSDAY. AT THIS TIME…THE SNOW BANDS SHOULD PEAK AROUND NOON ON THURSDAY AND COULD REMAIN INTO THE AFTERNOON. THESE BANDS MAY BRING SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOWFALL TO COUNTIES BORDERING TENNESSEE ALONG WITH HIGHER INTERIOR MOUNTAINS. IN ADDITION… GUSTY WINDS MAY CREATE PERIODS OF BLOWING SNOW AND FRIGID WIND CHILLS.

AT THIS POINT…THE GREATEST SNOWFALL SHOULD REMAIN NEAR THE TENNESSEE BORDER…ESPECIALLY ALONG THE WESTERN SLOPES OF THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS AND SMOKIES. WIND GUSTS WILL LIKELY CREATE SEVERAL AREAS OF REDUCED VISIBILITIES AND DRIFTS…ALONG WITH PROLONGED PERIODS OF SINGLE DIGIT WIND CHILLS.

A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW… SLEET…OR ICE ACCUMULATIONS THAT MAY IMPACT TRAVEL. CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS.

Snow! Snow! Snow! C’mon Snow!!!

This day has totally gotten away from me. Fun!

If’n you’re in the area, you have three more chances (tonight, tomorrow night and Sunday afternoon) to see Steve, Jeff and I act the hell out of Yasmina Reza’s “Art.” We were pretty full up last weekend and hopefully this weekend will be the same. I don’t if we had any reviews for the show in any of the local papers … but if we did you’ll get to hear about it.

Here’s a list of some other shite that’s going on this weekend:
1. “Pan’s Labyrinth”
2. Widescreen Televisions: Lookin’ & Droolin’
3. “Doctor Who: The Complete Second Series”
4. Some Freelance Work
5. Napping on the Couch

I got all excited when I woke up this morning. The radio was talking school delays and cancellations. That can only mean on thing … SNOW! I stumbled out of bed and looked outside. Indeed, there was snow on the ground and more drifting down to the ground. Sweet! By the time I had breakfast and gotten dressed it was sleeting. Not a good sign. By the time I made it to work it was just rain. And that, my friends, it what it’s done all day. It’s wet. It’s cold. It’s dreary. I am all bummed out ’cause I wanted snow … like 15″ worth. I love, love, love snow.

Hi. How are y’all? Been doing well I hope.

Seems like I might have gotten back into a rut here … posting just little tid bits and stuff instead of being all “here’s everything that went on.” Not that there is anything I am avoiding. Things here have been going pretty well minus the anxiety issues that started up right before Thanksgiving. Oh yeah … and that month of having strep throat.

Been on a bit of a DVD bender again the past few months having bought and/or received more movies than you can shake a stick at: “Black Christmas,” “The Venture Bros.: The Complete First Season,” “The Hammer Horror Collection,” “The Ultimate Classic Sci-Fi Collection,” “In the Mood for Love,” “The Man Who Fell to Earth,” “Forbidden Planet: Special Edition,” “Doctor Who: Inferno,” “Doctor Who: Genesis of the Daleks,” “Doctor Who: The Hand of Fear,” “Doctor Who: The Complete First Series,” “The Hills Have Eyes” (2006), “Elvira, Mistress of the Dark,” “Home Movies: The Complete Third Season,” “Home Movies: The Complete Fourth Season,” “Hard Candy,” “Jason X,” “Doctor Who: The Complete Second Series” … and probably five (or more) others I can’t remember off the top of my brain.

What else? I was in a small part in the local production of “Orpheus Descending” last November. I actually have two pictures of me in that production. I need to post them at some point. I got to play a slow, mean redneck. It was fun. Right after that show closed we started the kinda slack rehearsals for “Art” which we performed last weekend and will be holding over this coming weekend. After “Art” is finished, I will be on a wee bit of a break from theater. That will kick back into high gear after the summer when I head up the fall production of “Cabaret.”

Yes, yes. I have actually been out on some dates as well. You read that right. Plural meaning more than one fella. Started seeing the fella from A-ville right after “The Full Monty” closed and we went out for a bit. Now I have met this fella from High Point (three hours away … Grrrrr!) and that seems to rockin’ along pretty well. He’s a total cutie.

And for the record: I have been listening to too much Pet Shop Boys this past week. Lordy, I love them!
