Well, I've just realized that I haven't had a single post in October yet and it is nearly halfway through the month. Not the thing to do if you actually want to have people hanging breathlessly on your every word. Then again, as in the ketchup commercial, perhaps I have simply heightened the anticipation. So, what gives?
In a word, I've been a bit depressed lately. One of the things I promised myself when I started this blog is that it wouldn't not become a confessional, self-pitiying "emo" blog. I intend to keep that promise (sorry emo fans!), so I didn't really have a lot to talk about. Coming hard on the heels of the madness and hecticity (hey--a new word! Who says I don't give bang for your buck....) of the show, I haven't been able to come up with anything I would consider interesting--which, of course, is already questionable even when I aren't busy/feeling blue.
So, let me bring you up-to-date. All the Great Books closed last Sunday. I was very pleased with the show (I'll post some pictures from it once the disc comes from the photographer), and was very gratified by all the hard work put in by the actors, crew, and design team. It seems strange that I won't be directing anything in the near future--heck, depending on how the scheduling goes, I might end up not directing anything in all of 2007! Perhaps I need to look for some professional opportunities, but it is hard to contemplate this with the other responsibilities that I have.
It looks like I might be performing again soon, though--I will most likely be in the Heritage Theatre's Christmas show, playing a variety of roles. (Heritage Theatre is the alumni theatre company at Lewis.) Could be fun--I'll have more details when the time comes.
I've found the Mark Foley scandal very amusing--here's hoping it still has legs in a couple of weeks and helps to overcome whatever dirty tricks the G.O.P. has in store for early November. I'd feel better if more Democrats were showing more spine in opposition to, say, legalized torture, but we don't live in some sort of socialist Utopia, do we? Considering that popular opinion seems to have finally swung against this idiotic war, I really think that the Dems in D.C. could be doing more to bang the anti-war drum. Man, I am really looking forward to the investigations that will be launched if the Dems to manage to take back the House!
I'll have a new picture (maybe a couple) up tomorrow, and a new sermon on Sunday. I'm thinking of tackling one of my pet peeves--other than ketchup.
