Back to LA
I go back to LA in two days and i couldn't be more excited. I miss my family and my house and my dog (who isn't doing too well healthwise) and my kitty (even though she's dead, which i don't think has really sunk in and probably won't until I walk into my house and realize i can still breathe - because i am allergic to cats and now the cat is gone).
Work hasn't been too bad. Its really busy because the Yuletide season is upon us, but its good because the hours go by faster when there is a continuous stream of people.
I feel I should rant on about how the Christians stole the yule festivals from us and so on and so forth, BUT i have something really cool already planned and I want to save it. So look for that closer to the 25th, when all those monothesists worship THE SON, part of their singular god.
The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost. Amen.
Wait, isn't that three gods. I thought Christians were monothesistic.
Who smells the hypocrisy.
I will have to point out that despite my rantings and rambling and plain out bitching. I had.....I sat with a co-worker at a diner, while he was eating on his break and I had just gotten off work. But he told me he is converting to Catholism. Like officially converting in the eyes of god and shit. He's a great guy and a novelist and I think he's really cool. He explained to me why he was converting and it made sense. I think. But despite how much I talk, I ultimately feel religion is personal and I respect other people's beliefs. I just really dislike people who follow a religion because they were raised as such and not because they actually understand and believe deep down where ever they keep their spirit.
My play is going really super well. i have done so much rewriting in the last two days. I have managed to add about 8 pages to my script. i still know there are a few things that need to be rewritten still, which is fantastic. If I can add at least two more pages i'll be really happy, because then I will have an 80 page script which i think is a really good length. The only problem with having done rewrites now is that the comments i'll get back from my teacher and this theater company in Liverpool, where i sent my scrip, will be harder to consider in relation to the ending because so much of it has changed. I basically completely rewrote the last scene, from line 1 and changed the motivations of characters and changed the history of characters which are revealed in the end. I still need to elucidate a major decision my protagonist makes and show her making the decision in the moment. I just can't seem to get my protagonist to speak in the moment yet, so i've pulled a deus ex machina, for now and hope to cut it or at least make the protagonist verbally respond to it.
Maybe i should try that now.
But my feet hurt, I'e been stand all day and then had to walk home.
Maybe i'll lie down for a bit. that sounds nice.
