I've always been a bit envious of everyone that finds it so exciting that it's Friday. Working in theatre, weekends are not only not a time to rest but it's usually double as crazy with two show days. Of course the grass is always greener on the other side. When I'm painting faces or pinning wigs on Saturday and Sundays, I'm wishing I could have a normal M-F "9-5" and then when I'm working in an office setting, I'm craving being in a more creative environment where I can walk around and interact with people. Even when I've strayed away from the theatre world, I seem to always be in school for something and have weekend classes. For the most part, I've always enjoyed what I'm doing and obviously have chosen to get other degrees and I wouldn't change anything I've done even with the sacrifice of my beloved weekends. If only there was a whole weekend to just hang with friends, brunch to my heart's delight, window shop for hours on end, and just stroll the city until my feet could no longer carry me, how wonderful that would be. I must say, not having complete weekends free (even day offs at all during tour) has really made me appreciate the days I can just do nothing or anything and everything, depending on my mood!
Tonight I'm getting my passport and venturing out of Manhattan and frolicking with the hipsters of Brooklyn. Just kidding, I love BK, just wish it was closer to my upppppptown apartment. Saturday will be spent brunching, doing much much needed laundry, catching up on some work due Monday, and having a relatively mellow night so I'm fresh faced and bright eyed for a full day of glitter and trannies at Broadway's Priscilla Queen of the Desert!
What have you got planned this weekend? Something fun + adventurous or calm + relaxing?
