Captain Trips.I opened my copy of the hardcover of Stephen King's The Stand - Captain Trips today, after Susana and I agreed who wanted which of the two different covers. She got the variant one (T-T).
I want to read it. The art is beautiful, and so is Nick Andros.
Thanks, Marvel, for bringing us these adaptations of King's work!

...We will start rehearsals for the musical tonight.
I've been listening to the music all week long, and I like it more and more each day.
I'm afraid some of my parts are out of my vocal range... I do not know how we will work around that, LOL.
Vacations.I just returned from my vacations in Torreón.
I went to the Theater with Anita. We watched a play by a group of dedicated to "Deaf Theater", in which the play is performed with sign language.
It was based on Greek mythology, so that added to the love I already felt for it. It was great. The colors and the corporal techniques were good.
Now I have to get ready to move to our new flat...

New!It has been decided.
Since Sus and Héctor are leaving, Erick, the other Héctor and I will leave, as well.
We will move to an apartment now, three rooms. Less rent. Almost the same ubication.
I do need to start moving my belongings soon, though. I do not have a lot of free time, and I do not want to leave it to the last minute.
I worry about my poor comic books (which will have new comics added when I come back from my vacations in Torreón).

...Okay, I've been trying not to think about it all this time, but now we're only three Saturdays away from the release of Dragon Quest IX, and I don't have enough money to import it...
I will have to wait a couple of months until my credit cards get some rest...
It's almost a good thing I do not have access to the Dragon's Den, because I would read about people already playing it, and that would be too much.
I do want to play with Mimas, but without a PC to chat with her nor time to be online, I doubt we will be able to do so...
I do hope to play this game soon, though.

Start.Rafa's workshop has been canceled for now, but we will start with the preparations of a musical now.
We know which play it will be, but I do not know if we are allowed to tell, so I will have to wait (I will inform you when the time is right).
I'm excited about this.

Call.Pablo got my phone number and called me last night.
I invited him to the end-of-season party next Saturday. I hope he goes with me (since some of the ReTaZoS guys are his students, he shouldn't have a problem not knowing people).
I am still sick. I want to be able to breathe again...

Great week-end.On Friday I met Pablo, Emmanuel's film teacher.
That night, Omar pitched in to help with Heriberto's role in Zirkuszelt, Jorobado (Hunchback). He was very nervous. It was a good thing Fish and I could help him rehearse the night before. He did a very good job, considering he never rehearsed the whole play and he was informed one day in advance.
On Saturday Emmanuel and I made plans to watch a movie (and he would stay the night at my house). Roberniel lives close to my house, so he tagged along. We went to a birthday party of one of Emma's father's friends. Rober was happy because there was food he likes.
We (Rober and I) watched The Rules of Attraction (Emma fell asleep). Rober didn't stay the night, though. He left at 3.
On Sunday I finally made Emma go to Mass. I called my dad, but he wasn't home (I thought he and mom would be in a party, and I was right, as he told me today).
Carlos Ernesto (you may remember him from very old posts on my other LJ) went to yesterday's showing. Being Father's Day, everyone left very quickly, so our traditional after-play dinner didn't happen. But Ernesto's friends (Marco Antonio, Danny and a third one whose name I can't recall) and I went for dinner on our own. Ernesto took me home, where they all stayed for a few minutes. It was kind of fun.
Now I am sick. On Saturday and Sunday we went out wearing our costumes for publicity, and the sun made me sick. I can barely breathe now...

The L button of my Nintendo DS is working again!
I just had to tap lightly below it and blow into it.
Now I will be able to play Contra IV (I will not have an excuse for my sucky skills now, though).
Thanks, Alfredo, for telling me how to repair it.

House.Héctor and Susana will be leaving our house sometime in the near future (congrats to both of them for the cause of the move, BTW).
Ave is a candidate for new roomie. I hope she decides to join us, because we will be able to go to Theater and performances together.
Last night I was doing clean-up chores at home, and a cockroach got out of the mop and climbed my arm, up to my neck!
I was crying (and almost throwing up) for almost 20 minutes. Héctor helped me calm, LOL.

Cada Quien Su Vida.Cada Quien Su Vida is over (for now).
We had a party on Friday, and then Sandra and I stayed out of my house talking until 2:00 on the last day.
I think I got better on the last two days, but I still have a lot to do.
We'll meet again today to decide what's next for that play.
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.We're still doing analysis for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. I'm still nervous because it will be a harder role for me, but it is good to know that I have some similarities with Brick, which should make it easier for me in my first lead.
Zirkuszelt.This week we are on final rehearsals for Zirkuszelt, the play we are creating in ReTaZoS.
Even not counting last Sunday, it's been two days in a row I've went to sleep after 2:00.
I hope tonight's rehearsal end earlier.
I am very happy with the way the costumes ended up.
Doesn't make up for Adriana ruining the originals before I could scan them, but it makes it feel worth all the work and late hours invested on the designs.
Perhaps later I will scan the ruined originals to share them online, even in their current state.
I'm including the only ones I could scan (the last one was changed and remained unused, though).
Well, that's it for now. I don't know when I'll have time to update again.

Id.Last Saturday, after Rojo's birthday party, four of us (including him) went to this strip bar zone.
I got carded!
I'm fucking 29 years old and I got carded!
I am happy! Take that, David and Fish!

Donuts.Gerardo, my project leader, brought mini-donuts made with Oreo... A whole package!
This is bad, because I love donuts and I love Oreo...
And I have to get less fat...
I already ate four, LOL. I'm pacing myself.

!Sus is back from the Esteits!
She arrived two nights ago, but I was already asleep. I haven't seen her because she was asleep when I got home last night (had rehearsal with Iván, Mayela and Sandra).
She left me my comics in my room, though, LOL.
I got both volumes of Avengers: Operation Galactic Storm. I'm so excited! I finished re-reading the first Annihilation event yesterday in preparation for this. I've read one and a half issues of Galactic Storm. Rick Jones is looking good in the Captain America issue (so's Delphi, I hadn't realized how I missed the Pantheon, mostly freckled Atalanta).
Theater.Rafa Paniagua's workshop starts today. Along with the rehearsals for Cat on a hot tin roof, I'm once again tied for all week days...
I will miss the free time I had these weeks thanks to the swine flu (thank you, flu). I played Final Fantasy IX for a while, but I can't do it anymore...

Too normal.I always knew how I would like my house.
It would have a lot of free space. Large rooms full of nothing. Little or no furniture. Lots of empty space. A few mirrors, perhaps (I love mirrors).
For the most part, my (our) current house fulfilled my expectations.
Each one of us has their own room, and we spend most of the time inside our respective space.
The common area had been mostly empty. It gave me the impression that the house was larger than it really is.
But that has changed.
Our new roomie (another Héctor) arrived.
He cleaned the dining room. Now the dining room looks like a regular house dining room, not like the table no one of us ever used (except to leave all the things we didn't want to carry all the way to our rooms).
He even put a wall clock in the lower common area! What use is a wall clock when each of us has at least three different ways to see the hour in our own!
Another thing (this one, a neccesary change, though) is that he set up his computer in the common area in the second floor (it's needed because he doesn't have a wireless card in his PC). Now the "empty" space I entered as I came out of my room is gone...
My house has been transformed into a regular house...
Rant over. See you!

Project Spectrum.Google page about a project for people with autism, Project Spectrum.
See the works they have created.
I think this is a nice idea and a good project.
In other news, I am falling asleep, but I should get ready for the opening night of Cada Quién Su Vida.

Opening night!Today is the opening night for Cada Quién Su Vida!
Last night we had a general rehearsal, open to the public. I feel I'd done a better job on the last rehearsals, without people. I hope I get better today.
Other news.Last week I saw La Cena, a play directed by Sergio, with participations of David, Etna, Heriberto, Sandra, and Adolfo (with Alan as staff). René, the guy who studied at l'Alliance Française with us, was there. He says Claro (our director in Al Trote) is his teacher. I hope he joins us so we can work together, since he's a pretty cool guy.
Sus will go to Shelton. If there's a farewell party I don't think I'll be able to go... She'll come back in about two weeks.
Héctor (another one) has moved in to our house. We are 5 people again.
I've been hungry these past few days, but for the most part I'm feeling good. I hope that I'll see some improvement soon. Last night I ate my first chocolate muffin in almost two weeks. It was hard not to eat them, since I love muffins and chocolate.
That's all for now.

Pool party!On Saturday, Emmanuel, Marlene and I attended a pool party after rehearsal. I met their friend Fernando (who gave us a ride to the party place, because it was kind of far from the city).
The water was kind of cold, so not a lot of people got in the pool.
Cat.On Sunday, I went to see Pamela's play. It was cancelled that day (ask Pamela why), but we ate a cake that was going to be used, yummy.
Then, Iván (el Cubano, the director), who is also working on Cada Quién Su Vida told me he had a proposition for me.
He wants me to be Brick from Cat on a Hot Tin Roof!
As Emmanuel later made me realize (even after I'd already watched the movie and heard the general plot from Iván), Brick is a protagonist! Now's the time to freak out!
Iván knows how difficult it is for me to express emotions on stage, so he knows we have a lot of work to do there...
I do relate to Brick more than I do to Boby (from Cada Quién Su Vida), because he shows no emotions (except on certain parts of the play). And I suspect he and/ or his papa (Big Daddy) have Asperger's Syndrome.
For someone whose primary activity is software engineering, I guess this will be a good year in Theater productivity, with two support roles (Boby, Cada Quién Su Vida; Gitano, Zirkuszelt), one wardrobe designer position (Zirkuszelt) and my first lead role (take that, Math I teacher from college, LOL, just kidding, I like her and remember her more than other teachers).
Now, I have to do my best to get it right. I don't want this to be mediocre because I can't act.
Oh, and I have to work out (and eat better), because Brick is an ex-football star, and also because he happens to be shirtless (or wearing only undies) on stage at times (X_x).
Well, now don't tell anyone. I want this to be a surprise (preferrably, a good one).

MUA.On Sunday, I started playing Marvel: Ultimate Alliance again (third time).
I started using Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, Hawkeye and Black Widow, but then decided to go solo with Ms. Marvel (who is level 81 now). It feels so good to be able to own all these villains with her alone, as it should be.
I started reading Ms. Marvel's Best of the Best TPB again that night, as well. It's a good companion for the experience.
I so can't wait for either Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 (which has Iron Fist and Songbird, and should have Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel, too) and Dark Reign's Dark Ms. Marvel TPB.
Dentist.As you may or may not remember, I broke my tooth in December (in front of the cutest boy-bitch of the school, too).
I made an appointment with Humberto's dentist today. Humberto said that if I leave my tooth as it is, I may experience pain later. He knows what he's talking about, so I will try to have it repaired.
That's all for now.
