Blog 2 challenges/ and fun glamour puss

Miss Sowinski

Um, so sorry its taken a while for blog entry numero dos. Between moving to my new room
in HVH, the seniors graduating and visiting my boyfriend in Jersey for the weekend, I
haven't had much free time to write. BUT, since I am sitting the desk here in Guild for
another two hours, I can be fully devoted to recapping my life adventures of the past
week. =]

SO, the event I went to at the Red Room with Melissa was...interesting. I think the show
still needs alot of work and maybe some more talent(?). But, I did win tickets to see the
actual show this coming weekend...so we'll see. That same week, I was fortunate to be
able to spend some quality time with the graduating seniors. One of my favorite nights
and a sort of kick-off to Summer 09 involved me, Justin and Patrick meeting up with Pat's
aunt as well as a bunch of seniors at Cafe Wha in the West Village. It was so much fun!
Their live House Band was rocking the night away and we all got to have a final bonding
experience in the city. And there were buckets of beer coming out of NOWHERE (until I was
later told that Pat's aunt had been purchasing them for us..thanks!). I will truly miss
the seniors and, after crying in the arms of Tim and Michael the night before they
graduated, I think they all know as well. I aspire to accomplish as least half of what
they did during their four years and I wish them all the best of luck!

Then, my best friends from home KATIE AND KEVIN came to play for a couple of days.Kevin
is a member of the Playwrights Horizons studio at NYU and, therefore, has season passes
to all of their shows and events. They have a 30-and-younger party every year and the
three of us decided to attend. We would get to see their latest show, called "Our House,"
and then attend the reality-show themed party afterwards. Before the event, the three of
us musketeers ventured into the East Village to get dollar pizza (if you haven't heard of
it yet, GO. right on St. Marks Place) and 16 Handles, my new frozen yogurt obsession.
Picture 16 handles of different delicious varieties of frozen yogurt that you self-serve,
followed by every topping imaginable. HEAVEN. We then ventured with Kev's friend David
up to the show on 42nd Street. I had never seen a Playwrights show before, so I was
excited.

"Our House" is a new play by Theresa Rebeck that centers around society's sick obsession
with reality television and it's impact on the nation. Let's just say that the end of the
first act was both bizarre and shocking. You must see the show for yourself. I liked the
realist/modernistic set, though i do think it could've used some technical tweaking. It
was a talented young(er) cast that was commendable despite a few beige characters. All in
all, I was impressed with the production. Then came the afterparty. They randomly picked
a few audience members to become part of their homemade "reality show" that night and
their shenanigans were projected on the wall throughout the night. There was lost of "TV
dinner" food, like mac and cheese, tater tots and sliders. Paired with the mysterious
punch and unlimited Pabst Blue Ribbon, it combined to make a great night. We had a silly
time mingling with fellow theater-lovers and made best friends with the bartenders and
DJ. Of course.

And then I drank a beer with four sailors on the Ferry back...did I mention it's FLEET
WEEK here in NYC? Best week of the year.

Then, this past weekend, I journeyed to the Jersey Shore to spend some quality time with
my wonderful boyfriend, Andrew, and his fam. It was a blur of great food, beach time,
laughter and love. I think his entire family was happy i got some color, since I had been
white as a ghost alllllll year. His family also purchased a boat while I was there, so I
got to sit at the bow and look pretty on its maiden voyage. It's gonna be hard not seeing
my baby everyday this summer like we are accustomed to during the year, but weekends like
this sure make up for lost time =]

SO THATS MY LIFE. Up til now, anyway.

I was just offered a position as Choreographer for the summer Theatre Camp here at
Wagner, which I accepted. Looks like I'm gonna be even busier than I had thought I would
be...and making more money (wooooo)! Another summer of kids and "Fiddler"...GREAT.

Til next time! <3 xoxo C-baby



PS Anyone in the NYC area this summer, please please PLEASE call me! You might make it
into the blog! That's a huge incentive.

Adena Gabrielle Walker-

Hair- I am probably Dionne in Hair provided two things,1. that they dont give it to some white girl 2. if the show happens, as of right now they are missing 4 black people, two men and two women, so if anyone wants to be in Bay Colony's Hair in Foxborrow MA and is black contact them. Other info
A french girl will be staying in my house for 2 months - exciting
I am working hard at the gym daily and watching my diet, and it is totally paying off. I mean size 20-16 soon to be 14 hell yes I'm working thank you

I went to ladies of the 80's sing along and dance along
I got my mom to do the malibu shots in the theatre on stage with the host, as me the 20 yearold had to watch-whatever, Nina bowers- one of my bffl who goes to Eugene Lang and I dressed up in 80's fashion and had a super time.
There were all tehse mega music videos playing the host wore his madonna cone bra, and I was shaking it in heels and of course they later came off. There were streamers being thrown during True colors by Cindi Lauper and 99 red balloons being blown up and popped during Nina- the artist- 99 red baloons song- but I've never danced with more glee than Whitney Houston asking me if I wanted to dance on the big screen with somebody and I did want to even though 95% of the audience was female.
Later I picked up my movie monday deal(2 for the price of one) with my cousin Steven Tenaglia- he is single ladies come and get it. but anyway we got our usual porn and then regular flicks. Let me say mega dissapointment with one of the porns, btut he other one was ok at best. But I did start my accent work with the movie Mona Lisa. My dad recommended I see it for my character the acid qUEEN since. Simone played by Kathy Tyson in Mona Lisa is a british prostitue who is black, so that gave me some inspiration and the movie is actually part of the criterion collection and I found it excellent. In general I have been baby sitting a lot and watching an excess amount of golding girls.
oh yea and I saw code name JZ after he hadn't responded to my texts, and honestly I didn't care, then when I saw him he brought it up and was like sorry, and I was like for what? but like doesn't that mean he saw it and thought about responding to it and didn't. oh so frustrating. I just want to date him. I've liked him for so long now, and honestly unlike my dear love Courtney I have no boyfriend, and the more time without one the more I wonder if a guy would seriously want me. I mean I'm wife material, but thats after you marry me and bought into my craziness. I think I scare off guys but I don't know. All I know is I was nervous around him, I couldn't breathe after we talked and I wanted to make out with him right then and there. I mean I am still working two other guys, but my first choice, JZ so who knows. Well... tomorrow is Shavuot - a Jewish holiday- and saturday is my SWS school with in a school high school reunion and I am pumped.
I do feel like a shitty friend because one of my best girlfriends has a b-day on friday and I can't be there becasue she is going to the cape and its like what do you want me to do. I have to baby sit on friday and sat morn, and then I have sws reunion and its just not gonna happen you know. I really want to be there but its like sorry I can't, idk frienship is a scary place.
Lately I don't want to exactly say who, but I've been feeling down about friends, and who I can trust, and who care about me. I have more faith in clothes and the gym then my friends. I mean one of my besties I think stresses me out. When I think about them I get stressed which is totally not a good sign, I hope I talk to this person soon but only G-D knows. This could be the reason I get 5 hours of sleep and then suddenly wake up and can't get back to sleep and then am tired during the day, which scares me Since Lauri Young- musical director of Tommy- and Fiercest teacher at wagner, said that we need 8 hours every night of sleep.
well anyway I guess I have a lot of shit to figure out, but atleast I went ot dance freedom last wedenesday which is a place where I dance my stress away and just dance to the beat I feel.
stay tuned for- Hair info, and my Boston stagesource auditions, and my boy info , and if I get my cafe job
:)
