My whole life has been spent in and around theaters. They are my church. These days it seems like we take performers a bit for granted. But for every stream online there is a person who had the guts to get up onstage and perform in some theater somewhere. My two favorite places in Los Angeles for live performances are Largo at the Coronet and The Elysian Theater. Go to either place any night and you will very likely find something wonderful and surprising. Donāt you want that?

Yesterday I went to the theater (for the second time this year) :)) Each year I promise myself I'll try going to the theater once a month and I haven't succeed yet but this year looks promising so far :))
I was raised to believe theater is something reserved for 'the elites' (whatever that means) and people with an exquisite taste so trying this out and actually forming opinions like with any other field of art feels amazing. Maybe next time I'll even bring myself to go see an opera.
So yea, just me trying to fight with the idea of being not educated enough to enjoy 'fine art'.

āThe world is so distressing and cruel right now, especially with what our leaders are saying, itās almost like comedy and joy is like a flower that needs to be cared for, and it needs to be in a peaceful garden where someone is watering it and taking care of it. I think the answer is empathy, getting people to recognize what binds all human beings together, regardless of their economic status or their race or where they have come from or where they are going, empathy is what is going to get us out of the mess that we are currently in.ā
I said that a few years ago to an interviewer. It holds very true today. Empathy is not overrated. Itās what will make you a better person.
The Union Station organization helps the homeless and thatās a good place to start. Pay it forward. One day you might need some kindness.

Have you ever wanted to feel like a bird when it flies? Well there is a way to do it without risking death. Roller skating! Glide around on a wood oval and experience pure bliss. Youāll feel like a kid again. Or a bird. Itās a win win. The Moonlight Rollerway in Glendale is one of the best roller rinks in the world. Go on Rainbow Night (aka LGBT night) and youāll hear the best music among the most lovely people. Donāt be afraid of gay. It wonāt hurt you.

People might be surprised by this but Iām a real bath slut. I take one almost every day. Itās just such a great place to ruminate and relax. I have played Stanley Kowalski but the truth is Iām more like Blanche DuBois. Iāve thought of so many great ideas in the bath too while listening to music. Maybe my baths are so wonderful because I use this very fancy bubble bath. Itās pricey but worth it and so are you. I buy it at my friendās store in Atwater.
