why the face?

there are a lot of things going right in my life—fun job, acting prospects on the rise, living in a cool city, making new friends, etc.

and yet, i make this face daily:


i haven't gotten sick of japan. i'm not stressed. i'm not lonely. i don't have hemorrhoids. i'm in good health.

it's something else.

an auto-immune response to extreme laziness. and possible relationship issues. that's my current theory anyway.

but let's not focus on the bad!

let's talk acting. it's been almost two years since my last production. but that's all about to change. i've made some good contacts in the local film scene, i think i just got cast in a new musical (can't be too sure—i had a few drinks that night), and i'm auditioning for a community theatre production at the end of the month.

in other positive news, i'm going to a local transgender support group meeting this weekend. i've started seeing a doctor here in town—and i'm loving that the clinic is only 20 minutes away (as opposed to the 3 hour train ride to tokyo i had before). and i like the new doctor better.

but there is a downside: he switched me from pills to injections—and i HATE needles (see above "ohhh gawd!" face). guess i'll just have to deal. :P
