A very (very very) full plate

What happens when you say yes to everything?

You might get buried underneath papers.

Your tendinitis might flare up.

You might feel generally droopy, then elated, then droopy again.

But at the end of the day, you just kind of have to start working. And not think too hard about your deadlines on September 1 and September 28 and November 1 and January 1 and January 31.

Consider yourself lucky and be thankful and stop looking up vacation destinations. STOP RIGHT NOW.

Mo’ money, mo’ problems

How else can you explain why the New York Times made him the image for this op-ed?

THERE IS NO OTHER EXPLANATION.

The job of theater

drunkard

One of the fiercely talented actresses I’ve been working with here in Washington state for the past two weeks brought something up last night – namely, something she’s been thinking about during the workshop of my play. She said that in Sanskrit theater, there are three rules:

1) It must entertain the drunkard.

2) It asks the question: how must we live?

3) It answers the question: how does the universe work?

Kinda perfect, right?

This is the view out of my window, basically

And this is cause for celebration/concern:

This is where I’m going to be for the next few weeks

I’m going to be working on AND WHEN WE AWOKE THERE WAS LIGHT AND LIGHT at the Icicle Creek Theatre Festival – first, up in the mountains, and then in Seattle for the last two days.

Do I feel lucky?

I mean, DUH.

So you can sleep at night:

I know what you’ve all been wondering:

piranha-3d-2

How can “Piranha 3-D” NOT be a totally awesome movie?

Well, don’t worry. It can’t not.

SERIOUSLY. It can’t not!

People: do not eat your cats

From gawker.com:

Marinated Cat Rescued from Car Trunk Before Becoming Owner’s Meal

“An upstate New York cat named Navarro was rescued Sunday night from the trunk of a car at a traffic stop, where he was marinating in oil and spices and on his way to becoming his owner’s next meal.

Police in Buffalo arrested 51-year-old Gary L. Korkuc after they pulled him over for blowing through a stop sign, and found four-year-old Navarro marinating in his trunk in a mixture of oil, crushed red peppers, chili pepper and salt. Spicy! So why would Korkuc want to eat his cat? According to a memo from the staff at the local SPCA, obtained by the Buffalo News, Korkuc said he no longer wanted Navarro because the cat was “possessive, greedy and wasteful.” He told police that Navarro was mean to him. The memo added, “Do not under any circumstances adopt to this man ever again.” Yeah, that’s probably a good idea. Navarro has already been adopted by a family, and his new name is Oliver.”

“Sardines, eggs, rats…”
