This wild and precious life.

My friend Simini Blocker is an illustrator and did this piece for goodreads.  I love it so much.  Obviously the quote is amazing.  I also just love the image.  A girl looking out into the great unknown with so many options. 

I'm gonna use this as my theme for 2014 and see how it goes.

Waiting For Godot

Yesterday I had a spur of the moment opportunity to see Waiting For Godot for a relatively low price.  Obviously I jumped on it.  

I mean who doesn't love these two?

Sir Ian McKellen

Sir Patrick Stewart 

Best Buddies.

In case you haven't been following it, these two are best friends in real life and have been posting a lot of fantastic photos during their time here in New York.  Google Images. 

The play, which I'd never read or seen before, is about waiting.  It's about how our lives really are just waiting, but it is what happens in the meantime, and who we wait with that matters the most.  These two actors, and the other two supporting actors were incredible.  I was laughing out loud for so much of it, and it really is A PLAY ABOUT NOTHING.  Nothing happens.  The entire time.  But I was so entertained.  

Most importantly, it made me think about life and myself, and who I am choosing to spend my time with.  

Some Quotes:

• "I'm like that. Either I forget right away or I never forget."
• "Let us do something while we have the chance! I tis not every day that we are needed. Not indeed that we personally are needed. Others would meet the case equally well, if not better. To all mankind they were addressed, those cries for help still ringing in our ears! But at this place, at this moment of time, all mankind is us, whether we like it or not. Let us make the most of it, before it is too late!"
• "Don't touch me! Don't question me! Don't speak to me! Stay with me!" "Did I ever leave you?" "You let me go."
• "This is becoming really insignificant."
• "Let us not waste our time in idle discourse."
• "We wait until we can get up, then we go on."
• "I can't go on like this!" "That's what you think."

It is days like today where I feel very lucky to be here right now, doing this. 

Christmas 2013 Video

I was lucky enough to be home in Utah from Thanksgiving through the first week of January.  While I was there I ran spotlight for Elf at Pioneer Theater.  That was good because it didn't feel like I was taking a ton of unnecessary time off.

So I stayed with Katie and Sam, worked at the theater, played in the snow, and had a TON of fun.

I got back to New York a couple of days ago, and have had a bit of time to put together this little video.  I've posted it elsewhere, but just in case you didn't see it there, here it is:

When Google decided to combine YouTube and Google+, they gave me a new YouTube channel.  So I've recently uploaded most of my old videos to the new channel.  You can check those out here if you are interested: Lizzie Robinson YouTube Channel
