The Playlist

Published on by Andy Affleck

I have been a dedicated collector of those little cards at Starbucks. You know, the ones that give you a free song if you type the code into your phone or iTunes? I’ve even gone so far as to purchase music if I somehow missed the card (or, more recently, was unable to download the song via the link in the Starbucks app due to REASONS) so I would have a complete collection.

Today, I realized I haven’t listened to all of the songs so I made a smart playlist that aggregates the unheard songs from that collection so I could listen to the ones I haven’t heard yet. I’m embarrassed to admit that the resulting list is 94 songs and 6.4 hours worth of music.

Read into that what you will. I’m going to go listen to music for a while now.

This October, I’ll be starring in Swamp Meadow Community Theatre’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest as Randle Patrick McMurphy. This I’d my first leading role since I played The Boy in The Fantasticks in high school. 

If you have seen the play before or if you have read the book, you know that this is quite different than the movie. While I like the idea of playing a role that Jack Nicholson made famous but ultimately, I am playing a very different character than he did. 
To prepare for the part, I have been dieting and exercising a lot, practicing card tricks, and getting in touch with my inner sociopath. All very exciting!
Anyway, I am very excited and not a little nervous. So call the box office and reserve your tickets! Now!
