Oh, the things we do for our art.

I have a new haircut.  And, um, a new color.  What lays upon my head is “Fall Chestnut,” a color that is largely dark brown but shines a little red under the light.  It is for the show that I’m performing in February.  It apparently will get lighter as the weeks progress.  Yes, my eyebrows were dyed as well, but they will fade quickly.  This happened last night, in a salon called Akeni or Akani, tucked away in a building on NE Williams St.  There was wine and fruit.  My beauty steward was named Denise, and when all was said and done, hair styled and makeup applied, I looked like this:

Me in twenty years (hopefully).

This post could quicky turn into how much I hate my facial features.  I will refrain from following that path.

So this is what my life has been for the past couple of weeks.  I get up, go to work for a stretch of time, then go to rehearsal until 9pm, then come home and talk to my girlfriend on the phone for an hour or so, then sleep.  Wake up and repeat.  A couple of months ago I had all the time in the world.  Now I have none.  I’m not complaining; I much prefer having things to do than not, but sometimes I wish those things were a little more exciting than doing data entry all day.  However!  Having a job is much more important these days than what kind of job it is, and my job is pretty awesome either way.

Okay, important stuff happening in March to my website!

My site will soon be split into two!  I am planning on purchasing a domain name for just my music/acting stuff (like joshbelville.com or something), and leaving this website as my personal one.  This is Good because I can put more fun stuff on this site and make it less “professional” (or something).  But I won’t have time to focus on that stuff until March, cause February is when my show goes up AND when FAWM is happening, and I’ll be busy like a mofo.  So I’m just telling you now to STAY TUNED, and be ready to bookmark a brand new site!

Now I really ought to go back to memorizing lines.  If you’re in the Portland area, come see my show!  KTHXBAI
