The Hollywood Stock Exchange

It's been a long time since I posted, I know, but I've just had so many things happening in my life, that I've let some of my obligations, and some of my joys, lapse in order to take care of other joys and obligations.

Everything is going well in the play I'm currently in ("The Producers"). We have our big run through of the play where we also work on the technical side to make sure everything runs smoothly, and mark out the location of where all the different bits of scenery will be going.

I have a collection of bit supporting parts in this show. I play a "first nighter" who comes to the premier of "Springtime for Hitler", I also play the stalker of character Roger Elizabeth DeBris at the "audition scene", a NYPD police officer, and finally (though not necessarily in this order) Winston Churchill.

I have also been very busy at work, trying my best to make sure I don't get declared "redundant" and unnecessary.

To relive my stress (since I am still boyfriendless) I've been getting re-involved in the online game "The Hollywood Stock Exchange". It's a fun game that I highly recommend. It's completely free, and if you play, you don't have to tell anyone (unless you want to) that you heard about it here. You start out with $2million VIRTUAL dollars, and invest it in movie stocks, star bonds, and other entertainment based investment securities.

Like I said, the game is free, you won't make any real money playing (though you can use some of your "profits" toward the purchase of HSX merchandise.

Anyway, I've got to go now. I'll be posting again soon, and my September (and belated August) recipes of the month will be posted next Sunday.

Gee, I just noticed how many links I've inserted in this post.

Updating My Readers (#2)

Sorry it's been so long since my last post, and sorry I haven't posted my August recipe yet, but I've just been so busy with the new play I'm in, that (and I know it's no excuse) I just haven't had time.

I will try to make the time though this Friday (my 3rd Furlough Friday for August), and get my recipes and other blog stuff caught up.

Till later,

Wesley

PS: I've decided to drop the "Royal" from the name of my micronation. It implies that it was granted by a king/queen, duke/duchess or similarly high title, and though I will acknowledge others as my peers and equals, I will not grant anyone higher status than me. So, from now on, any future reference to my proposed micronation will refer to it as "The Sovereign Barony of Nonsuch".
