snapshot

after battling through part two of the greek tragedy we are due to bring out in three weeks (!), I am black and blue and really tired. revising the past week's efforts was so exhausting today that at one point I was sure I would not make it. every single moment has to be at the very edge of reason, and while playing it will be delightful, I am sure, the rehearsals are quite gruelling. additionally, I am worn out by finishing the run of the shakespeare back in h. and the heavy commute each day. luckily, there is only two more shows, an then I can concentrate on crying to the gods. thing is, I have brought this double load on myself, and so cannot complain to either. neither cares if the other took its toll. on monday, we are starting to revive yet another show, and I just got a phonecall informing me about the next project. could have done with oblivion for another week. I love my job, but I really need to take one step at a time right now, or I'll go mad.

tonight is my first night off in weeks, and I am indulging in sweet nothingness. g'night.

no time

this blog has been deserted for too long now, I feel. but I am so busy at the moment that even this random little post is going to be responsible for tomorrow's lack of sleep. again. I spend half my day on the train, the other half on stage. could be worse. I could be under the train and knocking on the stage door, trying to get in. I am not complaining. but just today, when I saw the sky through the train window, I thought how lovely it would be to have a day to myself and take a walk in the forest by myself. and I am not even the take-a-walk-kind of guy. again- not complaining. but sooner or later, I am going to need some rest. and now: good night.
