TIME Wow the pub opened nine hours ago. Then I remembered that the rest of the world wakes up three hours earlier than the Pacific coast. Speaking of time my birthday is coming up soon and I actually DID write a one-woman show for my birthday AND gave a preview of it this just past Monday in Vancouver. and people were omg, lil, you have to take this on the road, to the Fringe, to the . . . and I'm, like, no. I'm committed to doing it in my backyard, at my birthday party in Ontario on August 19 (real birthday August 16), and that's it. It's pretty raw: domestic violence, recovery and redemption, crazy husband shit, nightmares of dating, and more redemption. It's hard enough to live it, but to relive it (on stage) and make it funny [note laughter in picture] is exhausting. But yay!! it's done. The title of the piece is Every Marriage Is a Good Marriage: Even the Bad Ones.
I love self-birthday presents like this. Not nearly as creative, but a few years ago I memorized Hamlet's to be or not to be soliloquy for my b-day. I still have it. I have been in PST the last weeks, and have found it easier to open the pub before falling asleep.
