This is unbelievable! I am so grateful to Brock for his sage wisdom which now allows me to take pictures of EVERYTHING on my desktop (including this calendar picture right here). I love it. I am going to do it all the time. It's amazing. Phew!
Okay, now that I got that out of my system, I went to see Handel's MESSIAH tonight. It was a nice thing to do. I sang it five years ago and haven't heard it since ... but tonight was very nice. The drive home, though ... uh oh! Looks like winter is finally here. The roads were covered with a light dusting of snow and deceptively pretty. I skidded a couple of times before I remembered, "Oh! I'm from here, I should drive like I've dealt with this my whole life." And then I was fine.
I'm (obviously/very clearly) running out of ideas for topics and I'm SO not even really started on PROJECT 365. No one cares what I write. Help. This needs to be passionate and topical. Problem is, I have nothing to say.

Seriously? You're out of ideas? Maybe I just have ideas that aren't really interesting, which accounts for the quantity, but I can't seem to write them/follow through on them fast enough.
Now that I've publicly stated* that I'm going to try to pursue a "variation" on Project 365, I suddenly feel like I'm swimming in deadlines!
You have no personal takes on the Buffalo theater scene? Because I think our situation is pretty unique with the variety of small professional theaters, each, ostensibly, with their own philosophical agenda (in a way), and varying degrees of budget to attain and produce that agenda.
I personally would be interested in hearing your perspective since you're someone who loves theater AND also you're an actor and what your experiences behind the scenes are like.
Or is that too personal to be made public, because everyone involved in theater is insane, so you have to bite your tongue because you have to or may have to work with some of these lunatics?
(Hey, I say that affectionately, but I also kinda mean it).
Also, does it influence your past/ongoing efforts at producing plays yourself?
And do you have any insights as to why such a so-called blue-collar town yields so much cultural fruit?
There seems to be a strangely paradoxical connection, but I've never been able to articulate it (or, more accurately, I've never TRIED to articulate it). I've just been grateful as an audience member and occasional practitioner to be in an environment where such a thing exists.
Just wonderin', stud.
*Yeah, my first press conference, too. NEXT time, in December, hold the event INdoors! Cuts down on my speech blowing around the steps of City Hall, and it was too cold to get that young woman I hired to wear that homemade cardboard computer monitor and mouse-pad bikini to wear ONLY the homemade cardboard computer and mouse-pad bikini.
Somehow, as sweet and personable as she was, it wasn't the same effect I was trying to achieve when she was passing out flyers wearing a mysteriously bulky parka.
Eh.
You live and learn.
perhaps i should simply enlist you to write my posts for me. you're funny, detailed, current, insightful, and long-winded, which is something i strive for. thanks for the ideas, hombre.
Aw, you're flattering me.
Except the "long-winded" part, then you're being generous.
Ya big lug.
