sittin on the dock of the bay

"watching the fog roll in... then I watch it continue to roll in and swallow the Mission... no, that's not how those lyrics go..."

Well, actually I'm sitting approximately 3 miles from any dock on the bay on Micah's striped green and white couch in the geographical center of the city and the fog isn't that bad. But I'm getting a little disappointed at the lack of summer in this city. I've been told repeatedly that an Indian Summer is on its way "any minute now" and it will be warm and lovely for "septemeber and october".
We're halfway through september and I still have to wear a hoodie. I want my extra rent money back!

In other news, work has slowed down a bit so I have some time to chill today and hopefully monday morning and work at a less fevered pace from home/cafe/micah's. Which is good, because I'm feeling really burnt out lately... if you want to talk to me about work (and I can't imagine why you would) talk to me in person...

The opera's coming together nicely. The rehearsal schedules are being kicked up a notch for the next 2 weeks until we open. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm on stage a lot, doing some dance and a lot of hamming it up, and I got promoted from townsperson to second prostitute on the right! Which is a promotion that made me pleased.
And I recently found out that this opera company is doing my all time favorite opera Evar in March: Tosca! I'm so stoked to be a part of that. Unfortunately there are no small parts for women, but I'll probably be able to be in the chorus (though that's quite minimal) or maybe I'll crew for it. We'll see. I have mad mad fantasies these days about taking some intensive voice lessons so that I can audition for a real part in one of these operas. We'll see...

Despite there nothing really being wrong in my life, I've been pretty down the lsat few days. It may be that work issues are getting to me, or it may be that I'm spoiling for a fight simply because Micah and I have been together for almost 10 months now without a single fight, and there's something weird about that. Or it might be that we're both stressed and not as energetic about taking over the world as we were 6 months ago.
I'm trying to take it easy and let a few days go by either way, because I usually jump to conclusions too quickly and my mood changes from hour to hour, day to day, and I always get over it, whatever it might be.
