I’ll Just Stand Over Here and Wait for the Cool People to Join Me

October 30th, 2007

So, are you the type of person who, at a party, makes the rounds, constantly on the move to chat, to flirt, to, well, whatever, with as many people in as short a time as possible.
I’m not. I’m the type that finds a corner and hangs out there. Sometimes alone, sometimes with a few others. [...]

Must See British TV

October 29th, 2007

Who should watch: fans of Stephen Moffat’s work (Coupling, Doctor Who), those interested in watching some damn fine acting, and those with an interest in science fiction of the corporate conspiracy ilk.
What to expect: Six episodes of breathtaking acting on the part of James Nesbitt as he plays the duel characters of Jekyll & Hyde, [...]

The Children of Theatre: A Manifesto

October 28th, 2007

I wrote the following several years ago while in the midst of an ill-suited MFA program in Theatre Pedagogy. Looking at it now I feel slightly sad that I am no longer on an academic track because there are so many things that needed to be changed in so many theatre departments.
I still believe everything [...]

Mitt Romney Flashback: 1994

October 25th, 2007

In a letter to the Log Cabin Republicans:
“For some voters it might be enough for me to simply match my opponent’s record [on gay rights]. But I believe we can and must do better. If we are to achieve the goals we share, we must make equality for gays and lesbians a mainstream concern. My [...]

Bush Plans on Suspending Democracy

October 18th, 2007

From a press briefing (as quoted by Wired):
Reporter: Mr. President, following up on Vladimir Putin for a moment,
he said recently that next year, when he has to step down according to
the constitution, as the president, he may become prime minister; in
effect keeping power and dashing any hopes for a genuine democratic
transition there …
Bush: I’ve been [...]

New Band Discovered

October 18th, 2007

Great video, catchy tune:

For a flava of Bat For Lashes live, check this one out:

And another live video:

I’m definitely planning on getting their debut album in the next week or two. Yes, I could download it from Amazon.com or iTunes. But I’m feeling archaic these days and will probably hit up an actual music store [...]

A Confession: Those Spots Look Sexy

October 18th, 2007

Ok, so despite what I said last week, I’m tempted. I won’t go out and get it right away though. Really I won’t.

Staging the Impossible

October 17th, 2007

I’ve just posted a new play over on the Stage Plays Page. I’m going to be writing a series of 10 minute plays, primarily because there are way too many 10 minute play festivals and contests and most short plays suck. Specifically, there is a tendency on the part of those producing short plays to [...]

Becoming Wary of Apple Updates

October 8th, 2007

I don’t know about you, my fellow Mac users, but I am becoming increasingly wary of installing certain Apple updates. Primarily because of two updates. The first problem lies in the fairly major update of 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. This has caused any number of external audio devices to stop working, in particular my Behringer FCA202 [...]
