Opening poem-in-progress: “Too F*cking Old”

 

YTG

  • Summer show
    • Had a few more meetings.
    • Got a few more ideas
    • Getting a few more interns
    • Nothing major to report

Theatre in General

  • Looks like the Romeo and Juliet didn’t need me after all
    • I guess I took too long to reply (only one day longer than I said I’d need)
  • Went to Montreal
    • Met up with Catherine, show is on indefinite hold; don’t expect updates on this
    • One of us might have a brilliant idea at some point
    • Got the meet the Bete Noire horror festival gang
    • Got a photo of myself with the Leonard Cohen mural

 

Music

  • Went over to Pete’s place
  • Working on a throwaway little song
  • Ended up writing a kind of weird poem thing before I realized we were on the wrong track
  • I’ve extracted the more political piece I wrote and it’s now the work-in-progress poem you heard at the top of this podcast
  • It still feels more mean-spirited than I want it to in the more generic sections about getting old
  • I stitched that backing track together myself: my first composition in Ableton live— wanted to do it to have done it. Will hopefully improve going forward

 

Sustainability Project

  • Almost ready to launch
  • Let me know if you want to look at it and give me advice
  • The struggle is between long form because I want to talk about everything and go down every rabbit hole about why I think it’s a good idea, and short form so that people actually read it
  • I’m coming to the point where I’m going to have to stop massaging and trust that people who know me will understand.

 

OTHER

  • Heading back to Japan in 10 days (8 days as of this posting)
  • Can’t wait to get back
  • It also feels too soon
  • So much I didn’t get done here
  • What are you going to do?
