Finally an Update

So Dad has been pestering me to blog but I'm afraid I've gotten too far behind to actually catch up properly. This week has been full of excitement starting off with a 13 year old boy falling off a roller coaster at Cypress Gardens. Apparently there was NO malfunction of the ride itself (as made very clear in our near 2 hour whole-park meeting that almost made some very irate performers miss American Idol. The boy stood up on the Triple Hurricane (dared by his brother) and fell 10-12 feet on the last turn, hitting the tracks, and winding up on the hard surface below. His family has declined to issue a statement on his well being so all we know is: he WAS in critical condition and he IS NOT (as of now) dead. It happened last Saturday but we got all our information from the news. We were told as we left the park that day to say "no comment" to any reporters roaming the employee parking.

Julie, Brian K. and I spent our day off auditioning for an internship with the Orlando Shakespeare Festival. I learned two new monologues for the occasion. The facilities were really nice and I would honestly be tempted to accept something like that.. but they didn't seem overly interested. It's good to be auditioning again... I've been feeling sort of out of the loop. After our audition we headed down to Universal's City Walk for some recreation. We ended up dancing in Margaritaville with children and 40 year olds alike. It was a good time.

Thursday night we all made the trip to Oralndo again to see some of my friends from Shorter who were down for the Southeastern Theatre Conference. We all met up at Downtown Disney. Unfortunately we didn't get there until about 10 pm and Jen and Co. were waking up early for the next day at Disney World so it was a short visit. So we wound up spending most of the night with our usual housemate group.

The weather has been really nice lately and Julie and I have gotten into the habit of going to the pool in the mornings. I've only gotten in once. The water is still FREEZING. Still having fun in the sun. Adios!
