So, the smoke has finally cleared enough for me to take a (too short) break and recharge a bit. I've not been around too much lately -- I just finished directing three operas in a row, and that's been rather time-consuming. Well, technically the last two operas were one-acts and part of a Double-Bill, but that still meant two large and complicated shows that had...

Wow. I get back from vacation, and find myself inundated by new sets. This 48 Girls in 48 Hours is an awesome idea. I'll have to come back later when I have plenty of time to browse and enjoy the wonderment.

Have a wonderful New Year, everybody!

I really am way past due for an update. Perhaps while I'm at my folks' for the holidays, I'll find a moment to sneak some SG time. Maybe I'll even update all the new profile stuff (although I'm still kind of sore that I lost the original profile -- I rather liked it.). Anyway, in case I don't get back to this before 2007, a...

So, I mentioned in my last entry that I spent my summer reading a shitload of books. I decided to write down an inventory of every book that I read over the past four months or so - I started a simple list of titles, but then found myself jotting down little notes about each one. It was a fun way to remind myself what...

Sooo...

I admit, I was kind of surprised to realize that I haven't updated this in over a month (well, over two months). I'm not a natural journal-keeper, but I hadn't intended such an absence. Where have I been? Well, I've been on something of a self-inflicted hiatus from the internet in general. I tend to spend way too much time online, and this summer...

Good lord, it's been weeks since I've updated. I realize that I've barely been online at all in the past few weeks -- I logged on today, and there were so many pretty girls to look at. I've been pretty busy -- lots of work as we prepare for next season, plus helping out with the festival that my theatre company is producing this summer....

So, I've been gone for a while. I was on vacation (or at least out of town) at first, and then when I came back, my wireless router was all screwy, so I didn't have internet access until I got a new one. And now I'm back.

It's weird, when you've been away from this site for a while, the first impulse is to try...

Saw An Inconvenient Truth the other night. If you can, GO SEE IT. Not only was it a well-made film with a powerful and intelligently presented message, it was nice to see Al Gore back on his A game. I remember back during the dark days of the 2000 "election," when he was stiff and uncharismatic and more than a little pompous, and I wondered...

Whoa. I'm out of comission for a few days, and the whole site changes on me. Shit, now I don't know where anything is. This sucks. I mean, I can understand the staff wanting to upgrade and make things all snazzy, and I'm sure that in time, I will grow to like the new format. But for now, I hate it. Hate!

Anyway, I'm off...

OK, so here was my weekend:

Friday: left work early, got on the road early, but still took 5 hours to make the usual 4 hour trip to my parents house in TN. Should have expected it, I guess -- holiday traffic. Got a ticket on the way (my fault, had disengaged the cruise control and wasn't paying attention). Arrived at the parents' house --...
