Don't Mind Me, It's Tech Week
And so, I haven't had time to think or sleep, much less write.
I have also been avoiding posting here because of all the unhappiness resulting from Tuesday's election, not on just the national level (though I'm not surprised that Bush won; the Republican Party has a very clear identity, and the Democrats were running on the platform of being everybody else). But there were some closer to home issues as well. Oregon not only passed the anti-gay marriage ban, they also repealed their land-use laws, which were the only thing keeping the farmland farmland. Now, it will become a series of strip malls and McMansion developments, and rather than working to be sure our cities are good places to live, people will leave when they get unpleasant. So short-sighted and stupid. But then, most developers are.
Okay. I'm done with that. On to things over which I have some say and control.
I don't have Independence rehearsal today, which is good, because I'm so tired I don't think I could do it again for a while. I do have rehearsal for a scene from Pericles, which my friend John is directing for class, but that's Shakespeare.
I adore John. Not only because he's a kind, intelligent and talented man, but because he has a clearer sense than most people around here of what I can do. He said to me yesterday that he wasn't at all worried about my work. "If it were in lesser hands," were his exact words. In discussing the play yesterday, he mentioned that two of the characters get hit by lightning, and we both lamented the fact that there doesn't seem to be a place for that sort of thing in modern drama.
