Grad school!

So we have a perfomance of "The Agamemnon" on friday. We started rehearsing last week, no problem right... wrong. This is supposed to be a laboratory process class so the feeling of being unprepare is supposed to be there. We need to learn how to produce work in a short time, balls. I have a significant problem because my personal process takes a long time and this is helpful but stressful, with a short rehearsal I never feel prepared, C'est la vie.

On top of all this we go into tech for "The Last Witch" on friday. With a music rehearsal today and the thanksgiving break looming, there is much work to be done. On the lighter side how often do you get to wear leather hot pants, have your body covered in tattoos and walk out of a 12 foot moon! I know right, it's good to be the devil. Which means after this show I might have to change the title of this blog. Oooh I could have a revolving title, haha good luck finding my blog. No one has read it yet but it's fun to write. I feel like Barney Stinson. “Think of me like Yoda, but instead of being little and green I wear suits and I'm awesome. I'm your bro—I'm Broda!” I need a digital camera btw.

(Nov. 10) -- Next week, Washington state residents will no longer find "blackout in a can" beverage Four Loko on liquor store shelves.

The infamous party drink responsible for the hospitalization of nine Central Washington University students at an Oct. 8 house party is being placed under emergency ban by the state's Liquor Control Board, set to go into effect Nov. 17, according to The Seattle Times.

The temporary ban, which passed unanimously and includes all caffeinated alcohol drinks, will remain in place for 120 days as the board deliberates protocol for a permanent prohibition. The Liquor Control Board cited "public health and safety concerns" as the basis for its decision.

A lobbyist for Phusion Projects, maker of Four Loko, objected to the Liquor Control Board's ruling.

"No one is more upset than we are when our products are abused or consumed illegally by underage drinkers," said lobbyist Jim Halstrom. "But we also believe curbing alcohol abuse or underage drinking will not be accomplished by singling out a lone product or beverage category. We think the true answer lies with increased education and awareness by all and with respect for the law."

Several colleges including the University of Rhode Island and Ramapo College in New Jersey recently banned the caffeinated alcoholic concoction from their campuses. Michigan and Oklahoma are also prohibiting the sale of similar products.
















Ok, this is distressing! Needed to share.




Wednesday

I deleted facebook several moons ago.

This is now the new/old way to communicate. I was drawn by Francis and Dahnya and now am here.

This week has been a difficult so far but seems to be looking up. I discovered that I'm not just losing Thanksgiving with my students but also veterans day. Props to the military, however I am a poor planner not seeing this sooner. I feel good after office hours today non the less. My students seem to have a grasp on the concepts of acting, which is great! Heaven knows it takes a lifetime to apply them, my issue as well.

I think blogging should help my lack of successful grammatical application, the future looks bright. I hope to be more interesting in the future when I get used to the system but until then this is the first hello...





Hi!
