The New Year

This New Year's Eve I decided that my life has not quite been interesting enough and that I'm letting my youth pass me by with a little too much passivity. To remedy this I came up with a few resolutions... non of which involve surgery. Now, it should be noted that I have a very good track record with my NYE resolutions. One of them was to travel more (in an attempt to be more worldly and sophisticated... as opposed to simply aging). So far, so good. I went to Las Vegas for 4 days in the very beginning of the year. While I know that might not be a big deal to some people but I'd never been that far west and knew nothing about Vegas. I had so much fun but... as they say: What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. I'm happy to keep it that way. ;)

Ok, I can tell by your silence that you are not all that impressed. I also took a 10 day trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina... by myself, to live in my own rental apartment, and I don't speak spanish. How's that for an adventure? It was incredible. It was exactly what I wanted it to be: an adventure. It was exhausting and exhilarating. I learned a lot and had so much fun. It inspired me to learn spanish because I think I would have been able to take more advantage of the city if I spoke with more sophistication than a 4-year-old and frantic gesticulation.
Maybe I'll post some pictures later (I'm at work and don't have them with me) but I know what you are gonna say! "Billy, I don't think you actually were there. You're not in any of the pictures." Well, you are half right. I was too afraid to hand my camera to some puerteno and have them run off with it! So the pictures are of buildings and museums... I think I'll spare you the old fashioned slide show. I highly recommend a trip there though.

Since I've gotten back I've mainly been trying to catch up on my hours at the hospital (fail) and get to castings (success!). Castings have been scarce lately because of the... what are we calling it now? "The continuing economic crisis?" Yeah, that... this reception we are in... or whatever.

Oh yeah, I also had a birthday party! It was at ,my favorite bar, barracuda and I had a great time with my great friends. Weeee!

That's all.

Hey!

So, I've decided to come out of my previously unannounced retirement (aka laziness and too much crap to deal with to even be able to think straight... not that I ever did)

Today was crazy. I learned how to twitter even before I got out of bed. Twittering naked is the best FYI! I pretty much suck at twittering... or tweeting... but, get over it and follow me anyway. You never know what inane things I'll come up with. :) After that I ripped out a window sill in my new apt... don't worry... I'm super handy and can fix it. There is a master plan and it's uber butch. ;) Then I bought new shoes and am hanging out with my friend Dave singing show tunes and pre-gaming for "Mostly Sondheim" at the Duplex (aka "Freaky Fridays"). I have a new song to sing and if I don't screw it up I might just post it... just for funsies.
Best of all... in 10 minutes through a cloud of raspberry Cosmo haze Dave was able to get a page up on my website BillySteeves.com. It's just a pop up with a picture and "Under Construction" type of thing.

Ok, we are late for the bar! TAXI!!!
