OK... I've moved!

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE NEW PLACE!

... and some minor announcements on a "blogwarming" party!

woopsie

Minor snafu... doing a reinstall. Should be up later in the day. Then a vlog?!

lecram's blog moving day!

10 AM, Saturday.
Yep... that's what will be happening today. I am however leaving Da Blogs Da Thang versions 1.0 and 2.0 up. Instead of migrating all those posts I sort of like the idea that a "trail of evolution" is left. I may migrate some of the stuff later... but not today.

Yes, I am moving to Wordpress. (WARNING: Shameless Promotion Up Ahead.) Lecramsblog.com was moved to my Jungle Webs server earlier this year. I did that both as an experiment and also to make sure that the content of my blog was at one place and not floating around on indiscriminate servers on the web.

I'm doing the same with the new blog as the hosting on Jungle Webs offers all sorts of free add-ons (through something called Metropolis) from which Wordpress can be installed very easily. Plus, with the deluxe plan (a mere $8.39 a month) I can host unlimited domains (.COMS are only $6.95 a year!)

Anyway, there will be more updates during the day as I set the new place up... so stay tuned.

4:20 PM, Saturday
O.K. I think it is nap time. I still have some more tweaking to do and other work... but I do have a shooting gig this evening out in the park. So, a nap may be prudent at the moment. I have a couple of templates that I can use... back and forth depending on my mood when I post... so that is kinda fun. There is still some other adjustments before I will bring you the new digs in all it's glory. Hang tight... that should be happening... latest sometime tomorrow.

Here is a somewhat silly idea!

I'm considering throwing an Opening Night Party for a show of mine I can't and won't be attending.

Da Count - through the eyes of others

2 old friends commented to me this week that they admired my constant re-invention of what I do. One jokingly said that they were almost afraid to blink when they are around me because of it. Both also commented that despite all the evolutions they have witnessed the core of me remains constant. Needless to say I am most humbled by this heaping compliment.

What I do is not dependent or motivated by the admiration of or validation from others. Yet when it does come I do have to admit that it does feel good. I used to feel quite uncomfortable of it in the past but have since learned to accept it with grace. I have come to accept that we define ourselves through our actions... and when the acknowledgment and reflection of that through the eyes of others does come it can indeed be very gratifying. This also extends to recognizing "that look" of being seen through the eyes of friends, children, parents, peers and lovers... the one that says it all without a spoken word.

That is my count this week... our value reflected in the eyes of others who see us for who we are and what we do.

comfortable in my new skin - HNT

growing into it after you shed the old is never instant

Cheers and Happy HNT!

I'll be moving blogs on Saturday... so come by and check out the new digs.
Check out my new VLOG below and comeback on Friday for Da Count!
BTW... I'm doing a sarong themed HNT in a couple of weeks... wanna join me?

I had a bar of dark chocolate today...

... during a meeting and was buzzing so hard by the time the meeting was done. Within an hour of getting home I totally crashed. It was a if I had drunk 20 cups of coffee. Note to self... don't ever try finishing a whole bar again.

The rest of the day was spent dealing with bills, etc. Made a bunch of calls this evening to some of the 1980 cast of Frogway. Mike and I are arranging a meet up of as many of the original cast for opening night next week. It was fun to chat and play catch-up. They all want to know if I am returning. It's nice to know that they want me to but I had to tell them that I couldn't.

There has been more news articles about the show in the local press back home. If you go over to the Frog Blog (I knew I was going to be the lone voice in the swamp on that) Just click in the sidebar for those. Also looked on Google Earth for where the show is playing and found that it's pretty close to where I used to live.

The white "x" on the bottom of the pic is where I used to live (at least as near as I can guess) and the Bangsar Shopping Centre at the top is where the Actor's Studio is located. Dang, there is a lot of development that has occurred around those parts.

I'm thinking HNT is when I'll make the big announcment of my move to the new digs. That is of course if it is ready to be moved into. BTW... I'm thinking of a "sarong" themed HNT in a couple of weeks... anyome with me on that?
