So I've recently decided that other than just removing things from my brain I'd like to add a little something extra to my blog.

I will be putting on all my posts a song of the moment and a play of the moment. I know that probaly sounds for a lack of better words...pointless? The play of the moment is to catalogue what I am currently reading and motivate myself to read more. Hopefully with each post I will be on a NEW play. The song post is just to catalog my ever changing music tastes and hopefully there will be some correlation to the music and the plays. It's a whole concept I have working in my mind that music and literature well complement one another. It will hopefully motivate me to grow more as a director and not just think with a literary eye.

On to the main event than...

Play of the moment: The God of Carnage By: Yasmina Reza. Tony award winner. Original French cast included Ralph Finnes = AMAZING. How could I possibly go wrong?

Song of the moment: Cat People (Putting out the Fire) By: David Bowie. Why? Well why not? It is DAVID BOWIE. If only I could look that sexy as I age...But really I read a magazine at Border's the other day called Lemon Heroes. The whole issue was an omage to David Bowie and filled with interviews with Daft Punk. It was pretty awesome if I do say so myself. Then again I am a sucker for pretty layout and skinny men. Not to mention it had a review of one of my favorite movies The Phantom of the Paradise. Apparently Daft Punk loves the movies as well. Who'd have thought it?

Correlation has yet to be identified but I have a feeling something will come about.

Anyway, I'll be posting a short paragraph or two to get some writing out of the way...Look for that some time later...much later today.

I have my 1st directing scene rehearsal this Friday. I am doing a scene from August:Osage County again and I am very excited. Great cast and a even better scene. But, I love Tracy Letts. I am trying a ALOT with tempo and pace. We shall see how this prevails. I'll keep you updated.
