A few fellow Windy City writers and I started an online magazine (blogzine, reader, etc), wherein we string together a lot of words to talk popular culture. Naturally, my first few scheduled posts will be about alcohol & board games.
Check it out!

As a director, you never know what issues will arise throughout the production and rehearsal process of any particular show. You may have to deal with actors dropping, people not meeting deadlines, rehearsal space issues, and the list goes on and on. Having all of our rehearsals and performances…
Tonight I avoided getting in a lengthy debate (read as argument) with an ignorant fool about homosexuality being a ‘sin.’ I will however not keep it all bottled up. For a religion based upon forgiveness and love, far too many Christians are far too bigoted. As their bible teaches, let he who is without sin cast the first stone. What about love, no matter who it is between, makes it ‘sinful?’ Why is it okay for men and women to legally divorce, but allowing two men, or two women, to marry destroys the sanctity of marriage? Homosexuals existed before Christians did. People look to a book written two thousand years ago to decide how to live their lives. I don’t understand why religion can’t move forward with the rest of the world, and continues to try to hold to its hidebound ways. I know that homosexuality isn’t mentioned in the Ten Commandments, unless someone is misinterpreting the part about ‘coveting thy neighbor’s ass.’ This is a nation where one of the founding principles is separation of church and state. So why do people continue to reference the Bible in relation to the legality of marriage. You don’t need to have a member of the clergy preside over your wedding, so why should they have any part of the decision about what is legal. This is not a ‘Christian’ nation, but a nation whose earliest colonists came here to evade religious persecution. As a pagan, and a recently married man, there were no references to any of the gods in the ceremony. In part, due to wife’s agnosticism, and in part because my beliefs are a private matter. I just wish people would just accept that love comes in all forms, and that it should be encouraged, not shat upon.
Just needed to rant.

Thanks to my good friend J., I now need to head to the store for some grapefruit, so that I can make myself an Old Fashioned with the Aquavit and homemade chocolate mocha bitters that he gave me this weekend. My life is hard.

In honor of William Shakespeare’s birthday today, I think I’ll have to do some reading. Maybe Hamlet, in preparation for tomorrow’s read-through.
So last weekend was C2E2 in Chicago, and I had been freaking out about what to dress as. I had decided on a laid back Kitty Pryde costume, and wanted to make a Lockheed puppet to sit on my shoulders.
I thought I’d given myself enough time to work on it, but I am a huge procrastinator, also…
