Opening Night went well. It’s funny how I hadn’t even considered how people who weren’t familiar with the story would see this. That’s a me blind spot. To refer to a Dr. Who concept “Every Ch...


On one hand, I love how many Opening Nights I’ve had in my life. I really do… I really do love acting. I think I’m more nervous than I have been for any show prior. Yes, it all stems from no...


The Ever Passing Moment was the fifth studio album from the group MxPx. In my house, they were considered a Christian Acceptable Punk group and while my brother frequently mocked me for liking a...


The work shit makes it hard to sleep. Thus further aggravating the Work Bullshit Circle. Work is a significant reason why I feel behind; throwing 90% of my energy into work doesn’t get me any cl...


This is quick and pointless and Buffy specific but in times like these, it can be nice to use popular media to discuss certain items. Dunning-Kruger is often mentioned in this space and almost ...


I didn’t get much sleep last night. I think I finally got to my bedroom around 2 or 3. Nala was curled up tightly to me until about 6:45 a.m. and when she realized I was going to play The Snoo...


This weekend was… a significant display of… what is very wrong with me. I stayed home and didn’t get anything done. The only two times I left the house were for rehearsal and for the dog park. D...


Okay, for those that know- that title may be a bit dark, but it is a perfect encapsulation of the thought process that led me here. I was sitting in rehearsal, practicing the 2nd Act is surprisi...


Perhaps to address an elephant in the room… or maybe not an elephant but an obvious feature of what this place has morphed into: I know… I’m bitching about work a lot. I’ve been showing all of ...


With dealing with people like I do all day, you can see how “conversation at all” becomes important and creates the issues it does. Going from merely “Well, that is a pretty long dry spell” stra...


On Monday, I called in sick to work and to rehearsal. I was feeling under the weather which makes sense all things considered. There is still a massive cold ripping through the courthouse. Plu...


Today was… well… it was a full day. If I were kinder to myself, I would probably go ahead and call it productive but.... that would be out of character. Not enough got done and nothing of pers...


So, I forgot that in the current age there can be zero information gathering without a cost. Of the multiple phone calls seeking service I want and need to do; I was able to complete one yester...


I’m sure algorithms talking to algorithms responding to algorithms based on data mining are all behind the kind of content we’re shown. And when you consider the information that exists about me...


Well, last night - Nala did not stay in the room with me. Which I’m guessing is her way of saying, “Dog park was nice; but without downstairs time, I’m not sufficiently exercised or bonded.” Bu...


I suppose this is an honest request for advice as much as it is additional moaning about how the hand of fate seems to be a cruel bitch. Do you remember my previous experiences in therapy? Marr...


In certain “nerd spheres” today is MARIO day. Because if you take an abbreviation for March (MAR) and the numerals for the day (10) and put them together MAR10… it looks like the word Mario. N...


Combine feeling ill with a time change and, I suppose, this morning was inevitable. I awoke with a start and looked around, surprised that the bedroom was filled with light. Happy that Nala sta...


I’ll consider this good news, though that may change as the day rapidly approaches. The Sweeney Todd Cast is singing the National Anthem for a Roller Derby exhibition on Saturday. During the hal...


Today on the radio, I heard a song I wanted to share. But… not the easiest thing to track down certain songs and artists. It’s… not like the actually produced track I heard on local radio but… ...


I suppose this is as good a place as any to write about this. Some of it is a rehash but.. rehash is my specialty, it would seem. Part of ruminating. Part of being obsessed with time travel. Par...


The new month enters. I’m… not better. I still have significant work to even get to okay. We will see what this month brings. But before I get there… I just want to say… I know this is maybe ...


I actually tried to get a lot done today so wasn’t on here much. Other than the usual “work bullshit” including another three page hand written letter explaining to me how I am the devil incarn...


So, I have something of a “please tell me what you would recommend” situation. I hate writing on my phone and I don’t enjoy writing on tablets. But when I get downtime to read, I tend to write i...


I have a t-shirt that says, “I speak fluent movie quotes”. I lead with that sentence whenever I see a dating profile that specifically lists “I’m a cinephile and I love movies!” To no surprise...
