Had an idea today for a Shadowrun one-shot involving a corp trying to steal cap and trade certificates due to overloading emissions. 3 stage, steal, cover trace, and kill those in the know. Eco-terrorists take the building while the group is inside. Could be fun. No time now to write it up.

Great night at rehearsal last night. Seems MacDuff will be quite the action star in this production. I get to practice falling and tumbling reminiscent of parkour. But, I need to start looking into primer-only loads for a snubnose revolver, in case the space is too small for a half-load shootout. I think when we did the Dead Guy, we used half-loads, but I can’t remember. Got to put my two cents in for fight choreography, though. And I do feel like kind of a bad-ass. My skills serve me well in this.

Essentially acting as assistant casting agent for the stuntpeople in this film is a little tough. The director and I have not really clicked; we just have different tastes, I think. But, since I don’t know what he would like, I can’t just cast people. Plus, I want to work more with him, since he has opened some doors professionally for me, so I can’t just cast any old muppets. Luckily, I have some pretty cool people who are thinking about doing it.

Need to write choreography for this workshop this weekend. Luckily, a friend just messaged me asking for assistance with a high school production of Oklahoma, so I got to clarify my own thoughts, while hearing from her other advisors. Cool beans. Now to just motivate myself to get to work.

My new class has an intimidating reading schedule and the professor’s criteria for getting an A is a little daunting. Then again, what he expects from freshman in a 200-level course can’t be too taxing on my experienced and wizened intellect. Can it?

Haven’t had a decent workout since La Cage started. I feel like my body is beginning to decay from all the sitting around. But I can’t seem to find the time… My schedule is my own fault. I need to make some space. I have not seen some of my friends in what seems like ages.

While I guess I see this as technological progress, releasing a tablet computer which does not have simple support for stylus writing is inane.

Have you ever wanted an underpowered laptop with no keyboard? Or an iPod that would never fit in your pocket? Then, have we got a money-sink for you!

Jeers.

I was staring at this. I was not in the best of moods, and it struck me as apropos.
