Public Diary

Okay, so this is more like my public diary.  Thanks to everyone who commented and thanks for dropping by just to look around too!  I am open to suggestions on how to make the best use of this online form of expression which I'm still learning so much about.  Actually, I've been wondering if I chose the wrong spot.  There are other blogs that allow visitors to comment without having an account first.  Anyone think that's a good idea?  Or is it not really a major factor in why people don't comment?  I'm just as happy with e-mail, by the way.  And thanks to those who did that too.  Should the whim take you, you can contact me quite conveniently through my website (http://members.shaw.ca/jcmlott).

So, in public diary news: I got my first reading part at Librivox.  Voice of Queen Cor in Frank Baum's Rinkitink of Oz.  I'm increasingly grateful that the Oz books are in the public domain and that Librivox hasn't recorded them all yet. It was sweet listening to other readers' finished lines calling me
"your majesty," quailing or grumbling before me as earnestly as though I were there.  Come to think of it, it's like a bluescreen; actors having to react to things that will be added in later.  I know it'll be amazing, when the book is finished, listening to my part playing off the others'.
Reading Me is very happy.  Singing Me: still feeling deprived.  I miss you, Bel Canto!  Why, why, why are all the best new opportunities in Vancouver?!  Too much travel, too much stress, too much...which brings me to money.  Money-Obsessed Me is happy because she might be getting a new job soon.
Waiting to hear back.
The waiting game goes on for me the writer, as well.  So, "hopeful."  Writing Me is hopeful.  Man, if I didn't have so many of me, I don't know what I'd do.
Practical Me's off to Canadian Tire now to buy a skipping rope.  I've decided that between that and my badminton set, I'm covered for recreational exercise.  Oh, and my friends have finally started playing badminton with me!  And helping me make fruit slushies in my vitamix.  Social Me happy:-)
