Man! It's already Christmas? What I have been up to this past year starts with last Christmas, which was right after I got back home from New York. I promptly got a job at yet another Japanese restaurant, Syringa. After a little bit of a rough start, I started to fit in and love working there now, and I especially love all the free sushi! I also started playing live music with my friend Robby at a couple locations downtown (I play the guitar, ukulele, djembe drum). Sometimes we don't make very much money, but we do enjoy it.

The summer was delightfully warm and memory filled. This last October I was able to exercise my acting muscle after a short hiatus, and had a wonderful time in Civic Theater's Concert of Chess. I even grew a beard for it! I was playing the Russian chess champion afterall. This was followed by a cameo in Ain't It Good's Grease. With more ideas in my head than I probably have use for, the future looks bright. And hopefully by this time next year I will be pursuing my dream in Los Angeles, so wish me luck!
