My goal is to update on a rather regular basis, alternating between the "today" format I've already posted and short "thoughts" pieces. Todays will be unfocused thought of the moments with a horoscope post; Thoughts will be more cohesive edited pieces about theatre, the arts as an institution, society, food, wedding planning, tv & film, crafting, "growing up," and whatever else moves me at the time.
I'm using this as an opportunity to write again. In my time post college, I've found my mind hunting for opportunities to stretch. And while I create words on pages all the time, none of them need me to think too much in my day to day life. I miss that aspect of academia, and here, I get to set my own deadlines!
This will be slow going at the start- I'm still getting my feet under me. I hope those of you that stick around enjoy what comes in the future. If you have suggestions for topics you'd like to see me expound/rant on, throw a note my way.
Let's go on this adventure together.

Today, I say, walk on the grass- it was meant to feel!
My horoscope:
As selfish as it might sound, you need to put yourself first, today. You have been putting the needs of other people ahead of your own priorities for far too long, and it's high time for you to get yourself back at the top of your list. You have accumulated far more karma points than you could ever use, so why keep racking them up? Take a break today. Do something nice for yourself, because you are your favorite person. You don't have to earn this attention.
What I'm doing:
Walking to work, actually accomplishing something at the "day gig", going to pick my wedding dress (!), coming home and crafting.
What would be better:
It could be 8am and I could be walking farther before work, instead of needing to fast pace commute.
What would be worse:
It could be rainy and gross out. There could be mice in my office again today (here's hoping NOT!)
Goals:
Pick a dress!
Complete a piece I'm proud of, not quantity.

Today, love will steer the stars
My horoscope today:
You are in a better place than you ever been in terms of your ambition. It's healthy, it's smart, and today, it's going to show you where you need to point your energies next. So if you suddenly get an urge to climb Mt. Everest, invent a cure for the common cold, learn a new language, or do something equally ambitious (like clean out all your closets), don't be surprised! This is a day where you will get your greatest satisfaction out of doing something that no one else really thought you could do.
Stuck in my head today:
"Aquarius", particularly (and over and over) "and lo-ove will steer the stars!"
What I'm doing:
Sitting at work on my lunch break, feelings of *overwhelmed / too much to do on the to-do list / how can it be March already* from pre-spring break already filling the office again. Crafting, cleaning, Costco run after work.
What I'd rather be doing:
Calmly accomplishing as much as I can before 4 pm, impressing my supervisor with my newfound functionality, walking home from work in this gorgeous weather, cooking dinner, crafting at a table, and going to sleep at a reasonable hour.
Goals:
Find a show to work on that I'm thrilled about. Ideally, directing or sewing. I need a break from SM reality.
Actually work out, eat well, and move forward on this "progress" thing.
Feel rested and well.
