Shout outs

Also, shout out to my roomie and best friend Kitty, who is in Chicago, holding down our apartment with burritos the size of her head.

And of course a big shout out to my boyfriend George, who embarrassingly enough, I don't have any photos of on my camera right now.  But if you'd like to see what he looks like, he's all over the media in a red leotard.  Check out his show "Bodyslam" at the Annoyance.

And to all my other peeps, miss you!!! 

Tortola is sassy

Sunday I got to hang out with Deanna for the entire time we were in Miami!  That was really fun.  We went on the internet for free all day- what could be better?  

I've been visiting the islands with the Second City crew a lot more lately, and I think it's been decided that Tortola is our favorite.  I have lots of photos of Tortola.  Last week when we were there, we went to Apple Bay, and this week we went to Cane Island.  The thing they have in common, besides being beautiful, is that you have to take cab rides to them in these big open vans (to be fair, you don't have to take open ones, we're just daredevils), and it seems like the transmission is going to go out all the time, especially when you go up and down these enormous hills you have to pass over.  It feels a lot like a roller coaster ride, except there's a better chance that you could die.  So that's fun.

Tonight we have our scripted shows, so those should be a blast.  Tonight is also the chocolate buffet, which I found out last night is not such a blast.  I love Norwegian but they need to do some serious work in the dessert department.  

Sassy,

It's Sassy!

Here are some more photos!  As you can see, things are quite Sassy.  This is Ed and I in Tortola, making our "Sassy" and "Not Sassy" faces.

The past couple weeks...

Hello!  I know I'm a little late in starting this blog, but better late than never, right?  This is our second week on teh Norwegian Dawn, and so far things have been great.  We had lots of rehearsals last week with Beth and TJ, and the shows went really well.  But now they've both left so I'm the ony Jew representing Second City on the ship.  I'm really working on Molly and Chris though, and I think that they might convert by the end of four months.  Anyways, our cast is great and we were really lucky to have TJ as our director because he is fantastic.

We didn't get to visit the islands too much last week because of our rehearsals, but this week is a different story.  Today we went to the island of Samana, which was apparently one of Christopher Columbus's famorite islands.  But we all know he was a murderer.  Christopher Columbus, more like Christopher Colum-jerk (if you don't like jokes like that please stop reading this blog now.) Samana was nice, but I think Tortola, where we're going tomorrow, is nicer.  I'll tell you this much though, a guy cut open a few coconuts for us, and let me just say that coconut milk is no day at the park.  I expected it to be like coconut bubble tea without the bubbles but it wasn't.

I'm going to post some pictures from the past couple weeks, and hopefully I'll have some more soon. This photo is from our fist visit to Tortola, where we got to hang out with the cast of the Gem for about 25 minutes.  It was real fun.

Sassy,

Vanessa
