The Doc's New Computer


Mood: Content
Song: All This Time - Sting
Units of Caffeine: 1

So, with the influx of blogging, one can conclude that I have a new computer. Thanks to my ever so fabulous bro and his even more fabulous partner, C, I have a machine that is even better than what was stolen... and it even fits in one room! But seriously, C built a phenomenal computer. You know; that's something that I just can't even fathom: building a computer. To the geniuses like C who can do that; you rock! To those of you who are like me who thinks they know their way around computers - I'd stick with Gateway or Dell. So, with a great new digital camera; an even greater new PC; and several great new programs, I'm ready to take on the world! Well, the World Wide Web, anyway. But let it be known that I'm moving ahead a bit wiser - backing up everything.

So, with the subject of my last blog entry weighing heavy on my mind, I spoke with a few more people about it, including my friend, who is directing the new work at the pro theatre. Like others, he put what I was thinking into focus; but he also offered a few suggestions. He told me that my feeling tired probably stems from one of two things:

It has been so long since I worked on something that truly excited me, and everything I have worked on since has worn me down, in which case it would be good for me to only do something that I am excited about.

I have taken on so much over the past few years that I need to take a break and recharge my creative juices, in which case he suggested that I not do theatre, but instead take time to do things outside of theatre: read some books; go to some museums and/or check out some exhibitions; go to a poetry slam; write more; draw and paint; etc...

Whereas I believe that I fall into both of these categories, the ideas presented in the latter section appeal to me more. Because I was so busy with grad school over the past few years, I feel that I have just been feeding off of myself. I very rarely had time to go out and do/see things within the global scope of the arts and get new inspiration or rekindle that feeling to create something great. I think this is what I'm going to do.
