(no subject)
3 February 2005 23:24I have been lacking in my posting of late. I seem to be more focused on reading everyone else's journals instead of paying attention to mine. So lemme see what I can write about.
Now that Chas is the arts editor of the East Orlando Sun, a newspaper for east Orlando folk, I have been slightly more cultural and busy, and will continue for a while. We recently saw a play called Trapezium, a play written in Shakespeare's iambic pentameter, but a comic tale based on Tristan and Isolde (which old Willie and others ripped off). While I was sick, I missed UCF's showing of Lysistrata, one of my favorite Greek plays. We did the whole 110 hour marathon, though today we learned that world record was actually 120 hours. But he broke the US record and raised $17,000 in the process. And last night we went to DMAC (Downtown Media Arts Center) for Dig, a movie chronicling the Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols. Wha??? I think it was a minor self produced kinda thing. It was my first visit to DMAC. There was this hot chick in dreads there. :P No, serious, she was really beautiful.
Work is work. I had a sort of revelation as I was leaving today. They have banned the smokers from the front entrance to the other side of the parking lot where the walkway leading back further into the lot is. I have realized that this is not a good idea. I don't like having to walk by a large mass of smoke, or to hold my breath to walk by. I'd rather that they designate the smoking area to the sides of the entrance (where many do sneak away to smoke). I don't smoke myself, though I have smoked my share of things in the past. I mean, not to put down smokers or anything...they can do as they please (it's not like people that smoke DON'T know the risks)...but I don't like my path being blocked by a mass of smoke. Ack.
Well, LA in slightly less than 2 weeks. Yay!
I guess I ought to go now.
