1972
50 years ago today, I was in rehearsal for Spokane Public
School’s summer production of The Amazing Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, playing a boy who
tells little white lies. I was adorable & stole the show. This is what I was listening to on the Hi-Fi:
40 years ago today, I was in rehearsal for the musical- Applause,
starring Patrice Munsel, at the Cape Cod Music Circus. I was thrilled, I
actually had a vocal solo during the title number & I was having a lot of
very hot man-sex during my time off. I was fetching & totally fuckable. This
is what I was listening to on my portable record player:
30 years ago today, I was in rehearsal for A Midsummer
Night’s Dream at the Driftwood Players in Edmonds, Washington, playing Peter
Quince. I was stealing the show with my
comic antics & crack timing. After rehearsal, I would return home to my
cool Capitol Hill apartment in Seattle & my hot boyfriend. I had single
digit body fat. This is what I was listening to on my Walkman:
20 years ago today, I was filming my scenes for The Vanishing with my good close
personal friend- Kiefer Sutherland. On the radio in my trailer, this is the
song that I would crank up & sing along to:
10 years ago today, it was my first summer in Portland
& I was happy to be gainfully employed. After September 11, 2001, the world
seemed to have changed & I had up-ended my life in a sort of mid-life
nervous breakdown. I had consciously chosen to give up performing in favor of
some economic stability. I gained 20 pounds. I was freaked out. This is what I
was listening to on CD:
Summer 2012, I am hanging out in the Boys’ Fort in my
back garden, a stay-at-home- mom, blissed out & hopeful for the future.
This is what I am listening to on my Bose IPod Dock:
This is just wonderful.

This is truly wonderful and so is your house tour. I loved it, thanks for sending it over. Creative people rule, tell that to your husband, boyfriend, lover, or maybe just the ball and chain. It's nice to be back. K
ReplyDeleteloved reading this!
ReplyDeleteSounds like good choices to me.
ReplyDeleteLet's see... 50 years ago I was born (in January). 40 years ago I was still getting used to the changes in my life due to my parents' divorce. 30 years ago I was falling in the most serious love of my life with the man who is today my husband. 20 years ago I had two young children, was terribly depressed, and felt trapped in a small city in eastern North Carolina. 10 years ago we lived in a huge house with another family, altogether there were 13 people in the house and the other woman was big pregnant. My stress level was super high. Today I live in a house I hate with my two crazy teenagers (and I mean really crazy - psychotic levels). Hmmm, I seem to have depressed myself. I need to make some changes....
