3 things

i made $12 appear from nothing

not only do i have a wonderful stage manager for my first show, i have an assistant sm that will fill in when the sm cant be there (thank you kate and lindsey!!)

i hate being made look like a chump-especially by those that it matters the most

new linkage. welcome kiana and the much needed return of danish.

school is going okay. please check callboards for audition information. directing is only as good as the actors and designers that are worked with.

question of the day:

is it wrong to know that other people are terrible at what they are pursuing and not telling them, or is the greater flaw in telling them?

it has been a week. as far as my last post, that was for my own thoughts and thats all i have to say about that.

a recent catastrophe was adverted today by my roommate who seems to have lept ahead of me intellectually by about 100 yrs. just remember that when the power goes out and you are without internet all you have to do is hit the reset button on your cable modem and router and everything will be fine. (god, im and idiot).

school has started and im looking forward to a semester of utter stress and hell. two full length shows under my direction, 3 classes to tackle, a job with oodles of projects to complete throughout the semester, a fine arts festival to assist, and a career to find before may. ive got my work cut out for me.

please feel free to contact me if you are going out in bloomington/normal. im sure i will be pretty caught up in my own affairs that i will lose touch with the social scene. and with that, im off to read 70 pages for zielinski......

poems are such paltry things when compared to the true feelings one's heart is immersed in. here is my attempt to vocalize in the written voice the things that i feel.



with a wink and a smile
the car rolls away from the pavement
tears held back just beyond sight
the sound of a breaking heart-
resounding in my ears
a wave is the only comfort i recieve
fond memories tucked away in my soul
i turn
i take a breath
and walk home

wow, so i guess an update is in order. well, here it is.

-christmas was great, lots of family time that was much needed and i was given a substantial amount of money to help me move to chicago when i graduate.

-been reading up on various directorial approaches-still a long way from being done with the three books.

-working for my dad building furniture for the new scottish rite office.

-bought a dart board

-new years was an eyeopener. i feel so old....

-dreading the start of school because im not prepared like i told cal i would be for american buffalo.

-going to secure spaces for american buffalo and the baltimore waltz today. if not today then on wednesday.

-going to read my ass off the next week so that i can get some idea of the analysis work that i will have to do for my two shows.

-wondering where all my money went.

-eagerly anticipating graduation---as always!

well thats it. that pretty much sums it up. sorry sauber for not coming by on new years. my bad. ill buy you a round of drinks sometime. to all of you that i havent seen yet, i hope your holiday was wonderful. pjz, im counting the days, im counting the days-----why are there so fricking many of them though?
