It’s been a couple of days now, and I’ve begun detox and reset procedures after this year’s particularly rough Fringe experience. Eleven days, 45 shows taken in (counting six repeat performances), all shows reviewed and posted later the same night they were seen, one night excepted. Countless beers and energy drinks downed, several awesome connections [...]
FRINGECOMA ’10 – Days TEN and ELEVEN
Yeah, okay, I skipped a night. I was tired again, and I’m weak, and you can’t hate me more than I hate myself, so let’s just get on with it, okay? Shit, I just hope I even remember yesterday! Started off early, as I managed to unshackle myself from the oars at work for a [...]
FRINGE-COMA ’10 – Day NINE
I’m feeling a little out of it right now…got the mean reds,and they’re kicking me while I’m down. Not sure where they came from (yes I am), but I’m thinking it’s past time to shake it off, because I need to get in character. And oh, what news to tell! Actually, it was a pretty [...]
FRINGE COMA ’10 – Day EIGHT
Okay, I took a nap today..? So I’m gonna stop whining now about the ‘I’m tired’ shit. It was getting old anyways, am I right? But, mmm-boy, that was some GOOD napping. Awoke all refreshed-like, ready to go do that Fringe-things one more time. And started off with HEART-STRINGS, by Tanya Elchuk and Amy Crnkovic. [...]
FRINGE COMA ’10 – Day SEVEN
I’m getting a little concerned. My body is actively beginning to fail me, my legs are barely keeping me staggering, and maybe there really is something to this ‘sleep derprivation’ blather. Thank god I’m perfectly willing to sacrifice my health for your art, or I’d have been in bed ages ago. As it stands (or [...]
FRINGE COMA ’10 – day SIX
I’ve hit the wall. And that means, I’m not hitting the wall, I’ve crashed into it and shattered myself upon it. I am broken, my body openly rebelling against me for the 3-5 hours of sleep (drunken) per night I’ve allowed it in the last 6 days. I can hardly concentrate, and all I want [...]
FRINGE COMA ’10 – Day FOUR
It’s starting to get weird. Oh, it’s not your fault, it’s mine (isn’t it always my fault..?) I just never meant for things to go this FAST, is all. I wanted to take my time, get to know you, maybe see if you liked British teevee as much as I do…but I just lost control [...]
FRINGE COMA ’10 – Day THREE
Hoo, I was feeling it a little this morning. That’s the trouble with knowing you don’t work the next day, you forget that you still have to EXIST the next day. And that sucks sometimes. But onward! I hauled myself out of bed, got treated to breakfast by my delightful Jammy, and scampered past the [...]
FRINGE COMA ’10 – Day TWO
Now it’s getting real. And by that, I mean now I’m noticing how weak I’ve gotten in the last year. One late 4-AM night and suddenly I’m getting tired near the end of my workday? It’s all this soft living, and it has got to go. Still, I woke up today feeling strong, biked to [...]
