So I've been thinking about what non-theatre job might appeal to me on some level. Journalism keeps rearing its head. I love weird news stories. I spend hours on the internet searching for tales of glow in the dark kittens, found meteor bits, newly discovered fish species with see -through heads, balsamic vinegar thieves, run away zambonis, etc... I love books about Pluto, or how Longitude was Discovered, Freakonomics, The Radioactive Boyscout, etc... And I love learning! I feel journalism would be a fabulous way to keep learning about life's funny quirks and miracles and potentially make moo-la. And it will be fabulous.
So I was looking at journalism grad programs in NYC (because I'd LOVE to stay in NYC and continue to audition - one day jobs may even open up!) and talking to Matt-choo about the idea. He suggested I start my own blog and try writing stories myself - try writing for free - see if I like it or if I'm any good at it. So - I've decided - in my spare unproductive time - I'm gonna become an unofficial journalist! Matt-choo and I decided my blog should be called maroddities. And I shall scour the planet for funny yet educational stories - worth of the "ig-nobel" prize (Google it) or Darwin Awards (google it) or just - fun entertainment! I'm excited.
This is also good because the deadline has passed for all the Fall 2009 applications, so it will give me practical in the field experience for the Fall 2010 applications! Hoooray!
In non-journalist news -
Today - infamous ballet teacher and I - had a - gasp - conversation - and it was FUN! Hooray!
And I learned - AUSTRALIAN ice cream is not nearly as good as GROM. SIGH - Grom and yumiko leotards may just be my life's true loves.
