OH... MY... GOD!

Esta é a Janice, de Friends (Maggie Wheeler), uma das grandes personagens secundárias da série. Acho-lhe bué piada, mas curti ainda mais quando vi uma entrevista com a gaja que faz dela. Não estava nada à espera, mas ela é bué COOL!

The 30 days of November

Well, now that almost 30 days have passed, I have no idea of what to do. 30 days. So much can happen in this timeframe. I keep getting memories, images, some true, from the past, others which aren't real, from the future, a future.

I'm afraid too long has gone by and now things don't make sense anymore. I'm afraid of that possibility and of preferring not to fight that possibility. What to do? Do I stay? Do I try again knowing that there is a big window for disappointment? Do I leave it where it's at, knowing that there are so many other slices of the world to bite at? I can't help but think that freedom is absolutely necessary until I find the person I want to be tied down with and by (no sexual pun intended).

Is this it?

We've had 30 days apart and the time for a decision really is fast approaching. I have to decide: what have these 30 days done to and for me.

Don't mess with me

I miss LOST

LOST!!!! :(

Testing...1, 2...

1. Discussing the relation between  spectator and show. What are the powers of theatre? What should be the spectator's position while watching a show and what interferes in those circumstances? What are the cognitive processes involved in spectatorship? Discuss while speaking about Brecht, Artaud, Rancière , Susan Bennett (Canadian beef!) and Bruce McConachie.

2. Is the articulate puppet different than the human body? Can it perform with more grace? How do contemporary danse and theatre relate to this? Use your knowledge of Ariane Mnouchkine and Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker (Drums on the dam and Achterland).

I think it went ok.

With a little help

With a little help from my friends

What would you think if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
And I'll try not to sing out of key.

Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends,

What do I do when my love is away?
(does it worry you to be alone?)
How do I feel by the end of the day?
(are you sad because you're on your own?)

Plan B

We plan and we plan and we plan. What for? Because it makes us feel more comfortable with ourselves and our lives, it gives us a sense of preparation. And yet, more often than not, shit hits the fan and all our plans go down the proverbial drain.

I wonder whether or not things would be better if we made no plans. I always doubt those people who say they make no plans, they just enjoy life and "go with the flow". Is that even possible? I wish I could do that but most of the times I tend to freak out if I can't  minimally predict what's coming my way.

Right now, I can predict. I can more or less tell what's coming. I don't necessarily like it but at least I know.

I also know that where I am is not where I once planned to be.
