A new year almost upon us...
Hmmm. Once again, I see that I've neglected to post for over a month. Obviously, I'm not cut out for this blog business.
Christmas has once again come and gone, and, consequently, for the fourth (or is it fifth?) year in a row, I am here at the office the week between Christmas and New Year's, and no one is freaking here. What a shock. Also, I have a nasty cold, complete with fever. Ah well, so much for a nice little Christmas vacation.
This also represents my first Christmas married. Things are near perfect. In fact, I can't report any real difference between pre-married and post-married life. Which I consider to be a wonderful thing. So I'll stop going on about it, because we all know that if everything is great, it makes for boring stories. On that note...
spurn is officially going to beat the hell out of me from the New Year on. This is quite literally my last weekend of respite for the next two-three months. I do love producing theatre, but sometimes, just sometimes, I wouldn't mind the legal right to kill people on site. Thank god for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. A great tension-reliever. I can't wait until we hire a new director. There's nothing better for disrupting an already tenuous working relationship in theatre than trying to garner the whole production crew's throughts on a new director. My goal is not to please everyone, just me (and possibly my co-producer, Ross). Because there is not one soul on the planet whose qualifications as a director would please the entire spurn board.
Got two new computers. Having a bitch of a time trying to put the hard drives from our two old computers into the new ones... apparently internal hdd mounting brackets are near impossible to find in a city as large as New York. I guess I just don't know the right people.
Not much else going on. Am still toiling away at my new screenplay, set during the fall of the Roman Empire (and most likely will for at least a year or two more), and I'm hoping to get a bunch of work done on Genius Famous, a musical I'm producing for (hopefully) the '05 Fringe Festival, in the next few days. And play games on my new computer. Oh, and drink myself stupid on New Year's. So it'll be a busy couple of days.

And, pathetically, I'm eagerly awaiting next Wednesday, and the premiere of Alias, Season 4. Richelle and I have blown the better part of the last few months trowling through the first three seasons on DVDs pilfered from Ross. What a great, fun show! Although Season 3 did slip a bit. Hoping the new season picks up the slack.
