It's been a while...

So yeah. Hi, LJ! I've been doing the Facebook thing lately and thinking about dabbling in Twitter (I've signed up but haven't done a blessed thing yet). Enforced shortness speaks volumes about life and society, but it fits a little better with where I am right now ( Read more... )

You and me both.

The other one I've read is The Evolving Self, where he goes on about how the media is twisting our perception of reality. He recommends getting groups together to analyze new stories and look for patterns of cause and effect which will never surface in our short-attention-span 24-hour news cycle.

That dovetails nicely into Al Gore's The Assault on Reason. If you can get past the recurring theme of "Bush is a bad man" (Which I don't contest, I just don't want to be hit in the face with it every 2 pages), there's some interesting stuff in there ( ... )

I have deep respect for artists of all kinds, who manifest something where previously there was not, who suggest alternate paths for understanding or appreciating the world around us - or the worlds that could have been or may yet become ( ... )

We are all crystals that reflect and refract the divine light into shapes and projections of our own will.

We are each surrounded by raw materials; the question is: what will we make of them before our time expires?

Welcome back. I definitely know the feeling. I don't get any great sense of accomplishment doing my job. It's a great job, mostly enjoy it, and the pay is great but sometimes I dread going back in the morning.

Best thing I've done recently is get back into music. two years ago I looked at my horn gathering dust in the corner and decided "damn it I'm going to play that again". I found myself a great community band and can't wait for practice every week. Similar experience getting back into playing tennis. So do it get back into theater, into writting, whatever.

Oh and if you are interested my twitter accound is B_O_B_bob

You know, just the other day I was thinking "I really should put on a show at the Fringe...it would be nice to say I'd put on a show at a major international festival".

Did you see the Commedia troupe with me in Edinbugh? Tes-tos-terone!

You could completely pull off the Fringe with a minimalist production of almost anything you've written for NV. And get positively reviewed, I bet.

I'd plan on going for the month and pushing your show by sheer force of will. There's a glut of good theatre and not enough audience to fill every venue.
