Meet and greet for the play. It was so odd to use the words, "and I'll be playing the role of," when I introduced myself. It feels like some sort of betrayal. I'll be codesigning the set w/Emma Lumbeck, so it's not a complete abandonment of my principals. That sucks too - I don't do things half-assed, not even selling out. At least Emma's good with sets - that thing she did for the Opera was excellent. It will be good.
Oh, and I've changed my mind about resolutions. I'm not making enough of them. I had my first "we have to stop off somewhere to get condoms first" moment, and I'm damn proud of it. Here's to psychology majors.

Someone said I was without fear yesterday. That was cool, but also bullshit. Walking back to TRAX, in front of PTC, a few people with various musical instruments walked past me on the sidewalk. One of them, a tall guy with nice hair, looked at me. I took a few more steps, and turned around. He'd turned around too, and we looked at each other for a minute. I took a deep breath, looked across the street, and...
...walked away.
Damn. I resolve to hit on one person every single day for the next couple of weeks. Even if it's only a little.
Okay, I'm making too many resolutions. Never mind. I resolve not to drive until Saturday, and, depending on how reliable my memory of New Years is, I resolve not to drink for an undetermined amount of time. That's it. I will hit on whoever I want to, or not, whenever the hell I want to.
Oh, well, enough about sex. I'm a well-rounded individual, with more on my mind than sex. I can talk about other fascinating things in an extensive and engrossing manner. For instance, ah...

Okay, I just sat through the State of the Union Adress. I won't go over every detail of Bush's proposals and new policies. They don't quite work when you put them together. Or on their own, come to think of it. Someone should probably have read that speech beforehand. Especially the line about "Hitlerism, militarism, and communism." It's not that I supported the Nazis, I just have issues with George W. Bush taking personal credit for their defeat.
Coffee with Sam touched on this today. There is no morally sound ground for war, under any circumstance. Let's face it, even in the conflict that American's equate most with justified military action, World War II, we didn't exactly come off as Jesus with an M-2. We locked up our own citizens simply because they were born Japanese, and we remain the only country on earth to ever have deliberately use nuclear weapons to kill civilians.
I guess Bush's reflex to label anything America has ever done good and right can get a bit absurd. Take this, for example; "Other Al Queada operatives have met a different fate. Let's put it this way -- they will no longer be causing the U.S. and our allies trouble." I understand that it might be nessisary for the United States Government to kill people, but when the President brags about it on national television... well, it seems a bit tasteless.

I love getting new issues of The New Republic. There's always some new horror or awfulness. This week, my pet peeve is Zimbabwae. I may not know how to spell it, but I do know it's home to a ruthless dictator who's starving his own people and weaking economic havoc over half of Africa for his own personal gain, and no one seems to give a damn. Fuck Saddam, Robert Mugabe is the new Joseph Stalin.
Anyhoodles, the whole Horizonte thing turned into this place called Woodland Hills. I like the fact that it allows me to stay at West and get all the credits I need with only a couple of all-day sessions. But it's really expensive. Ah, well, it just means I'll have to go a few extra weeks before I get my own boffers. That's what NPC camp is for, anyway.
