The future is brewing.

Life is good.

Just one day after my need coffee slump, life is aromatic again.

Two friends of mine bought me a coffee maker. They obviously didn't care for the slow version of Tony. I had spoken with both while coffeeless, and apparently, wasn't quick enough for their taste.

Ironically, they are the same couple whose wedding gift card purchased my last coffee maker. So, they have provided the stimulous for both the start and end of my marriage.

Swell.

I went and bought a new kind of coffee for the first brew, too. I got Ethiopian coffee, partly because lately I have been getting into Ethiopian soul/jazz from the late sixties/early seventies. In honor of that music, I thought I would also sample their beans. I recommend the music. I will let you know about the brew.

Along with that great advancement, came another last night. A dinner theatre that I auditioned for a few weeks back called and cast me in the show. That would be a paid gig. That's right, I would finally be a working actor. I don't know how often the show runs, or if I can actually do it. I didn't get that info, but I do meet with them on Monday night for a read through. I am going to try and do all in my power to make this happen.

Funny, but a thought had come to me awhile back, and now it seems even weirder.

About 12 years ago, I had my "chart" read. Which is to say that someone, who really believes in astrology, looked at all the placements of the stars from when I was born, and concluded that certain traits were inherent in me from the astrological influence. Being a Libra, I had much balance in my life. One of those was career/relationship. I guess I strive to give equal parts to both. Well, if I don't do that, say I give more to relationship, then the other suffers. Huh.

After my marriage ended, I thought about that, and at the time jokingly thought, Well, at least I will have a lot of career luck now. Huh.

Funny? Weird? Who cares. I might be able to call myself a working actor. Hell, I would sacrifice eight relationships for that.

Kidding. The one will do just fine, thank you.
