Murray

If you're a fan of Bill Murray (and if you're not then you just need to stop reading this blog right now), then read this interview Bill gave with a reporter about the Cubs. It's pretty good.

As far as Chicagoans go, Bill Murray is the King, the Emperor, and the Grand Marshall all wrapped up together.

Go Cubs. (Although I'm not optimistic...)

The Wooden Breeks

Snow's melting a bit today and I'm trying to get some work done so I can go out and play; maybe head over to the Arboretum and go for a walk, now that the temperature's gone up a bit.

President's Day, so I have a day off. Combined with last week's snow day, the shortened work weeks have been a much-needed break from a long six weeks or so. Lot of work, lots of strange moments, lots of irons on the fire, but that's good. It's work worth doing.

This is mostly a place-holder post, with nothing too exciting to report. Back in the city once again this weekend, saw The Wooden Breeks at Lookingglass. Disappointing play: hard to understand, too silly at times, no real clear idea of who the characters were supposed to be. Good acting, and great set design, but... meh. Just confirmed the greatness that was The Sparrow from The House.

Okay, time to go do some thinkin' about theatre. The summer season's a long ways away, but there's so much to do. Need to conceptualize The Tragedie of Julius Caesar, redesign a website, and come up with some advertising ideas.

Oh, and I got a decent tax return for the first time in my life, so I'm starting to think about travel plans again. Maybe I'll finally get over to the 'Dam and hang out with Bicyclemark and JaG. We could talk about evil governments and hot sex and Heroes. It would be awesome.
