I'm not quite back yet.
Well, work has let up a bit. Just in time for me to get involved with another show. I got a bit part in Ann Arbor Civic Theater's production of Inherit the Wind. It's a small enough part that I may not lose too much of my life to it. But don't expect updates to happen consistently. Looks like a good show. (I saw it once, but it's receded far enough into the mists of the past that I don't remember it any more.) I'll post more details as we get closer to opening night.

Fox News attacks Disney for insufficient homophobia
Please bear with me on the old news. Just started digging through the long neglected queue. This vintage dates back to early August when a Fox News guy tried to draw a connection between Disney's children's computer and Gay Days. I've never understood why a heterosexual would be that obsessed with homosexuality. Hey, I guess everybody needs a hobby. Here's a write-up with the details that I found on Boing Boing.

Screwed Up Life Forms
Who needs to look for life on Mars? There's plenty of reality bending stuff living on this planet.

I'm not dead yet
Hey everybody. Or rather, the diehard few who still check out this site in the vain hope that it's been updated. Work's been kinda crazy for the past month or so. I think it's going to let up any week now, so you may see more of me in the near future. At which point you'll get the best the web had to offer a month ago. (At least until I get caught up.)

While I've got your attention, I may as well rant for a bit. The medium is, after all, a web LOG. So I might as well say something about yours truly. Yesterday, I got an email from Valerie that went out to the cast of Rebel Without a Cause. One of the things she mentioned was the upcoming awards night for Ann Arbor Civic Theater on October 30th. Well, that's the Saturday before Halloween, so there's no way I could make that. Ring of Steel usually gets hired by some haunted house somewhere to perform for the Halloween season. Out of the whole calendar year, this gig is usually the most fun. Elizabeth and I finally have Zach's sadistically complex (and extremely cool) choreography almost ready for prime time. And Kat and I just tonight started putting together the very slick beginnings of a hand to hand fight that would make a great vampire/werewolf fight. So I'm really looking forward to Halloween this year. And I'm already going to miss the weekend previous to Halloween because I'll be flying out to Cali to see my brother.

So as fun as the Civic Awards would be, they'll have to go forward without me. But that got me thinking. Granted most people aren't in an obscure and slightly weird theater troupe that has Halloween related commitments, but quite a few people will be going to Halloween parties that night. Who would plan something for October 30th?

Well, I didn't think much more about it until this morning when I got an email from Tina telling me that their long awaited second Euchre night was set for ...(wait for it)... October 30th. That bums me out. I missed their first one, and had really been looking forward to this. But the sweat, blood, and bruises I put into my Halloween preparations pushes me towards the unfortunate conclusion that I'm going to miss their second Euchre party as well. I hadn't quite recovered from this blow when I got home to find an invite to Eric's wedding. (He's a high school buddy of mine.) I'll let you guess what date the wedding's on.

I don't have much of a life. Why do the little bits of one always conflict with each other!?!
