When Nature Calls
I remember driving down Mill avenue on September 10, 2005. I had just left a water balloon fight with The Gamer's Society at Arizona State, and I left because of a phone message telling me that my husband had been in an accident. I was driving and calling my best friend over and over, and she didn't answer. Once it sounded like she picked up and ( Read more... ) -
When My Light Went Out
Lately I have been trying to get to the bottom of my lack of emotions. Now this lack of emotions is new, and different from how I have always been. And to further complicate things, i am not thoroughly devoid of all feeling. I just dont feel very much very strongly. I barely hurt, barely miss, but most troublingly of all I don't seem to feel guilt ( Read more... ) -
Growing Up, Moving On, Giving More
I havent updated in about a month or so, but I am still doing better than my last break! Here is what youve missed:
M's schedule is changing. Tomorrow i find out if mine is. I hope it does because if it doesn't, i will continue to be miserable (of course), I will probably get to play with less tech at work, and my two date days with M a month will ( Read more... ) -
Honest Theater: When The Abyss Stares Back
An amazing thing has been happening lately. The actors in Camelot have been stepping fully into their parts, and feeling the emotions written in the story. Now, Camelot could be played as a fluff piece, but as I've mentioned briefly before it can also be played with a great deal of depth. And why wouldn't it be? Even dressed down this is a story of ( Read more... ) -
Headed Home for a Spell
I'm on a plane! I'm headed to Phoenix for a couple of days, and I'm very much looking forward to it. I have a little apprehension at the prospect of possibly facing some of my old friends, but I don't want to run from my problems anymore ( Read more... ) -
Go In: Love, Repentance, Intention and Action
When I was a kid, my dad endeavored to teach me Karate. It is one of his passions and he really wanted to pass it on to me. I never really picked it up to the degree he wanted, and so eventually he gave up due to frustration. This was, however after years of physical and mental guidance on self defense, how to fight, how to avoid fighting, and how ( Read more... ) -
Well that paid off!
So Jo afforded me the opportunity to get everyone talking about some of the motivations and subtleties of Camelot tonight, and it seemed to have a great effect on the cast. I wasn't very articulate but I managed to get my point across, which was that we have a reason to be on stage when we are there, and that reason can be inferred from the script ( Read more... ) -
Theater is like a big awkward poly relationship
Expectations, boundaries, attempts at control. Mutual support necessary from everyone involved. When one person drops the ball many people are at risk of suffering ( Read more... ) -
Yeeeeeeahhh... If you could stop burning down the mine that would be great.
So another vehicle caught fire at our mine within a week. MSHA has shut down our production while they inspect all of our equipment. Since our bonus structure recently changed, a co-worker and I are wondering if maybe operators are driving harder in order to meet the new production goals and the equipment is paying the price. Fortunately no one has ( Read more... )
