I just had the strangest dream(s).
I’m not sure if it was two dreams or one dream in two parts, not that it matters. The first dream or part of the dream was kind of standardly dreamlike and unreal. Some friends and I got together in a weird place to have some weird fun. It was a real groovy party. Fun dream!
In the second dream or part of the dream, my life was threatened to be torn...

I'm still here, yes.
I have not abandoned this blog. I have plans for a couple of entries, but I’m too wiped all the time to put myself in front of the computer with any coherent thoughts, really.
More soon.

The problem—one of the problems, anyway—with rehearsing a semi-rambling 25-page monologue created by a crazy guy who also happens to write really catchy pop songs is that even on your day off, after two days straight of drilling lines, repeating little tiny sections over and over and over again until every, “you know what I mean?”, “it absolutely freaked me...
Life is happy and sad and utterly exhausting.
Today, Jason (the artistic director of Catastrophic) and I are driving to Austin, as is everyone else in Houston, it would seem.
As I may or may not have explained here, the play I’m doing is based on a tape letter that Daniel Johnston made for David Thornberry, his best friend back in 1985 or so. The first act of the show is me performing that hour-long tape almost verbatim. Well,...

– Yay, So Percussion is going to be at Diverseworks this February. I have their first album and while it’s not something I listen to frequently, it’s super good if you’re into that kind of thing.
I didn’t know until I started looking around the web for more info on them that...

I came across that fascinating (really, please listen to it) interview at Metafilter and promptly picked up the book from the library. I know I’ll buy it eventually; while the language is everyday, the ideas are not, and it’s tough to really comprehend. It will take a few readings, I’m sure.
Of course, I always enjoy it when science and Western philosophy intersect with...

Stuff about the play.
I am playing Daniel Johnston in a play called Life is Happy and Sad, based on a single tape-letter he made for his best friend while he was living alone in Austin. I have never acted before, never even considered it.
I have no choice but to start in the middle, because the middle is where I’m at.
Wednesday night I was photographed for a local magazine article. I can only hope that they...
Recap/re-up.
• We c-c-c-closed on a house Wednesday. Today we paint all/most of it, having had roughly 4 hours discussion about what colors we want. I think we’re mostly in agreement, though. I wonder what color our house will be?
• A guy by the name of Tenshin Nakano spoke at the Zen Center on Thursday. He’s the head of a small Soto Zen monastery in Japan and this was the first time someone...

– Just caught a teeny tiny mention of this in the Houston Press and haven’t seen mention of it online anywhere. Dave Dove and Lucas Gorham are participating, for what that’s worth.
It’s next Friday which is Ashley’s birthday, so I won’t be going. You should go and tell...
Oh, but why?
I suppose because I wanted somewhere to type about things that actively interest me and/or are bouncing around my head. To me: Facebook is for little stuff; Livejournal is for…journaling, I guess. Neither feel appropriate for real blogging.
So here is this blog. HERE IS THIS BLOG EVERYONE!
