storm
in a port
I turn
my eyes seaward
and conjure
waves
where there are none

busy busy busy
in rehearsals for:
The Lower Depths (dos chicas - May)
The Order of the Scarlet Cat (BLP - any day now?)
The Defenestration Unit is gigging like crazy,
and preparing for the art car parade.
I'm also working on getting a week of 365 days/plays
for The Ornery Theater and trying to decide if I wanna
do "The Visit" or an evening of original shorts after that.
Oh yeah,
and I'm working on some visual art
for a show in April.
YIKES!
and still finding almost 40 hours a week to sell candy.
How do I do it?
Caffeine mostly.

About Last Night: "Rot" an experimental walk on the dark side
You need to see this show!
About Last Night: "Rot" an experimental walk on the dark side:
"Certainly, when you add up all its components, Rot exudes enough despair to make the average Samuel Beckett outing look like Annie."
see, doesn't that sound like something you want to see?

NonAlignment Pact: Music in Seven Days from Seven Writers
Just a reminder as to why you should be reading NAP:
NonAlignment Pact: Music in Seven Days from Seven Writers
And I’m not pulling a “look at me, I’m Peter Murphy,” move here or anything. If I’ve learned anything from my years of soul crushing errors in judgment, it’s that if I want to have any chance of living to see the next year, then I’d better start microfocusing on my environment. I’d better begin to appreciate the miniscule and the mundane, because before long, I could be a dead man with an eternally tiny picture of the world. And that philosophy seems to work for me. But I will never shake the general disdain I have for the way people can be, the absolutely base and animalistic ugliness that we all too often share for each other. What I have a really hard time dealing with now is the fact that most people don’t seem to care too much about this. The prevailing wind says, “So what, sure we’re an ugly bunch, but at least we still have our rollover minutes.”

What is the TRUE Origin of Valentine’s Day? - at BibleStudy.org:
"The Greeks called Lupercus by the name of 'Pan'. The Semites called Pan 'Baul,' according to the Classical Dictionaries. Baal - mentioned so often in the Bible - was merely another name for Nimrod, 'the mighty hunter' ( Genesis 10:9) It was a common proverb of ancient time that Nimrod was 'the MIGHTY hunter before the Lord.' Nimrod was their hero - their strong man - their VALENTINE!"

"In the second half of the nineteenth century, a group of composers that came to be known as the 'Mighty Five'--Miliy Balakirev, Aleksandr Borodin, César Cui, Modest Musorgskiy, and Nikolay Rimskiy-Korsakov--continued Glinka's movement away from imitation of European classical music. The Mighty Five challenged the Russian Music Society's conservatism with a large body of work thematically based on Russia's history and legends and musically based on its folk and religious music. Among the group's most notable works are Rimskiy-Korsakov's symphonic suite Scheherezade and the operas The Snow Maiden and Sadko , Musorgskiy's operas Boris Godunov and Khovanshchina , and Borodin's opera Prince Igor' . Balakirev, a protégé of Glinka, was the founder and guiding spirit of the group."

"The older statistics always estimated 70 to 75 percent of kids with autism had cognitive impairment," Rice said. "We found 33 to 62 percent."

NonAlignment Pact: Music in Seven Days from Seven Writers
If you have a way of tapping into a permanently renewing resource, and you have a way of knowing the unknowable, then where is there for you to go from there? Arrogance is just a tool for the weak. It sounds so obvious, but it really isn’t. That’s why it’s so effective. No, the truly sublime is always there, awesome and simple, brilliant and ordinary, and you have but to look at it. Are there absolutes? Absolutely. I’ve faced them. I’ve spoken with them. Why just last night I faced a facet of it and I tell you about it now in my own roundabout way. And this is coming from a nonbeliever. I have no faith in the overarching negation of will.
Sit back, stop thinking, take it all in…
And the drone is absolute.

NRAMA: Got it. Oh - and the red sky - a nod to previous times when the sky would turn red, or an indicator that this is a "Crisis" kinda thing?
RM: Yeah, how 'bout that, red skies. I wonder why my editor, Eddie Berganza, suggested we slip that in there? He must know something…

The Chronicle: 1/26/2007: Pessimism vs. Existentialism
The Chronicle: 1/26/2007: Pessimism vs. Existentialism
Perhaps the wartime experiences of Mr. Cranky put him beyond the reach of any celebration of life, but Mr. Grumpy insists that existentialism provides an experience of incredible freedom, a feeling of responsibility that is not so much a "burden" as a matter of finding one's true self-identity. If nihilism and despair play any role in this picture, it is only as background against which existentialism is the ecstatic resistance. Responsibility and choice, picking oneself up by the bootstraps, are what this positive version of existentialism is all about.

"Yes, it’s a baby, not a prop. My kid isn’t a prop either, but that never stopped right-wingers from attacking me and my boyfriend over our decision to become parents. The fitness of same-sex couples to parent is very much part of the political debate thanks to the GOP and the Christian bigots that make up its lunatic “base.” You’re a Republican, Mary, you worked on both of your father’s campaigns, and you kept your mouth clamped shut while Karl Rove and George Bush ran around the country attacking gay people, gay parents, and our children in 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006. It’s a little late to declare the private choices of gays and lesbians unfit for public debate, Mary."
