Stinkin' Rich

I'm in between shows on a Saturday, and just had yet another great sandwich from Sarcone's Deli, which is a couple of blocks from Moira's house. I stopped there on the way to work to get something to much in between shows, and boy, did I score big. I elected to get the "C.C.," which I'm presuming is some sort of sop to Center City Philadelphia. It was a roast beef, provolone, garlic and spinich sandwich, on this fabulous bread that I'm (once again) assuming must come from the Sarcone Bakery, which is right down the street from the Deli.

As is so often the case, I've found myself outside as I compose these thoughts... I'm sitting in the boneyard of Christ Church, the oldest congregation in Philadelphia, if I'm remembering correctly. It's an amazingly nice day - though it's threatening rain, which is a bit of a bummer, but hell, it's October 13 and the temperature is hovering somewhere around 75°. I can't imagine that there'll be many more opportunities like this one to sit around and enjoy the outdoors. The leaves on the trees here in Philly are still green, though some have fallen. But I half suspect that, up in the mountains, the fall colors are already in full splendor, and I'm trapped without a car and missing them.



So the caretaker dude came along and decided it was time to close up the boneyard for the afternoon. Who am I to nay-say the caretaker dude? Now I'm back to the theater, and I'm listening to an Eddie Izzard CD. Do you know him? He's an incredibly funny transvestite comedian. Totally straight, it's just that his gimmick is to dress in women's clothes. You may have seen him in Shadow of the Vampire last year... he's also an actor. Very weird movie, but he was great in it.

Anyway, there hasn't been much of anything going on in my life this week. I had been up for a job in Florida for the holiday season but I didn't get it, which sucks. But I did get a quickie doing the Stinkin' Rich workshop for the Arden. That'll be next week during the day. Not sure what, if anything will come of that. It seems like it'll be a lot of fun - it's an update of Moliere's The Miser, set in the 1920's. So it seems like next week should be fun.

Other than that, my life's pretty damn boring. Same ol' same ol'.
