The Thief of Always
Hey there. My name is Alex. I'm studying theatrical Stage Management and I like reading Kurt Vonnegut and Clive Barker. I'm also a musician.

This is my personal blog, so it'll probably become a cesspool of funny things, literature and theatre things, and some music bits.

You might like it, you might not.

Let's roll the dice, shall we?

BMD.

If anyone is curious as to what my scenic model ended up like, this is the bugger that kept me shut up in my basement for an entire weekend.

It’s my scenic design for Henrik Ibsen’s “Ghosts,” done in half-inch scale.

Ya know, it’s a bit higher maintenance to use a safety razor and brush, but holy crap it makes a difference.

Come feel my face.

With warmer weather approaching, I need to prepare myself for the onslaught of Facebook photos of peoples’ feet up on porches, decks, and whatever.

Yuck.

Tall socks, man.

Tall

Socks

Aaah, the old Bait and Switch…

Took my last exam, presented my scenic rendering, got all suited up and went to Gala, came home, took out the garbage in a three piece suit, got into my jammies, poured a glass of special-occasions-only whiskey, and put on Doctor Who.

Good times.

Also, I’m on summer vacation now. How weird.

Alright let’s go do this accounting exam.

Or whatever.

Sorry I can’t study for my accounting exam right now, I’m too busy singing “Dayman” from It’s Always Sunny on Facebook with my friends. 

Got all kinds of summer work coming in

Put in my application at a swanky deli/wine/liquor shop

Got people calling me up being like “Oh Alex, you’re so ruggedly handsome, won’t you stage manage this staged reading?”

To which I say, “Yeah, baby. But I’ma need about $10 an hour.”

And they say, “Yeah alright!”

Lined up to SM for the New Play Project thing this summer which culminates in a performance at motherfuckin Victory Gardens Theatre in mothafuckin’ CHICAGO!

I’ll be able to cross one dream off the list - “Call a show in Chicago.”

Getting shit done GETTING SHIT DONE

When one of my friends on Facebook talks about how much she actively hates the smell of rain, I have to reevaluate my friendship with that person.
