Misc.
I haven't posted in a couple of weeks... But never fear! I'm back.
Some rambling thoughts on me and the world, in no particular order.
Working for Menopause the Musical has been great. A bit nutty, but great. The actresses with whom I'm working are a blast, the show isn't that difficult at all, and the commute (knock wood) hasn't been that bad yet.
Things with C. Jay are going very well. He's working on a horror re-write called Zoe August. He's got about 30 pages to bang out to finish the first draft, but so far it's shaping up to be a killer (pun intended) script.
I used to like Lou Dobbs. He's the slightly chubby host of a news show on CNN. He went from a mostly impartial anchor to an all-out biased commentator, all over the immigration debate. And there was this little PR push to try and tell the rest of the world that he's the authority on immigration. He's not. And he's wrong. He is fixated on the fact that protesters carry flags from their home countries. Please. Talk about ignoring any real issues simply because your panties are in a bunch is pointless news coverage. Here's my opinion on immigration; let me know what you think. (Also, let me know if I used my semicolon correct in that last sentence.) Build a huge wall. Secure the border. Cut off illegal immigration. But, at the same time, provide amnesty (yes, amnesty) of some sort to the men, women and children already here for the crime of being here. Then, provide a penalty for the crime of crossing our border illegally. Back taxes, a probationary period, something.
John McCain is a putz. It's been sad to see him go from straight-talker (though I honestly never totally trusted him) to ass-kisser of the right.
So that's about it for this moment. More soon, I (sort of) promise.
