Having come back to my page for the first time in forever, I see that the link to the Makepeace video isn't working anymore. I don't have the patience to figure all that out, so should anyone happen across this entry and be curious, email me at kimberlyrose01 at gmail dot com, or leave a comment here with an email address and I'll upload it to megaupload. (Actually, I think I'll do that later tonight anyway and post the URL here.) |

| Video Update |

Youtube has taken down the Makepeace video; not much of a surprise, since they've apparently been removing a lot of Stargate videos lately. I'll look into alternate hosting at some point in the future. |

| May as well actually write an entry while I'm logged in |

I'll confess: I only actually signed up for an LJ account in order to not have to post anonymously to communities. It'd probably be overly optimistic to plan on regular updates.
We've now moved to southern New Jersey, where I'm hoping to actually get involved in theatre again, as well as dance more regularly than I have been (i.e. take classes as opposed to practicing in the living room). In the shorter term, I want to get enough dishes and whatnot put away in the kitchen so that I actually have surfaces. The glamor of my everyday life. |
