I've got a new "Pushing Daisies" episode on the TiVo to watch tonight after I finish writing this entry. Mel was home all day today and had two accidents - one in the basement and one in front of the door - which is unusual for her. I wonder if there was some aggrevating factors such as Dogs walking down the street.

Rehearsal tonight included a long discussion about race, stereotypes, characters, playing to the truth and personal experiences. I (and Adam) was immediately reminded of some of the conversations that we had back at UR while we were in IBTL. I even found the very thread which contains some of my thoughts from 2003. I think my view has continued to evolve since then, but it's interesting to have a touchpoint from 5 years ago which I can look at.

(Mel is now sticking her head under the various Couch cushions which is pretty funny. Silly Rock.)

With the changing of the seasons, I think it's normal to experience a bit of malaise.

With the changing of seasons, or the weather it just gets worse the older you are.

Take Care

Wow. I was almost afraid to read that thread, knowing that the 19 year old me was on the other side. I was pleasantly relieved, however, because I didn't come off as crazily self-righteous as I expected. Amazing that it was almost exactly 5 years ago.

I come away from that thread with three things.
1) There is some value in opening conversations, rocky as they may be. This is still true in 2008, with a certain political candidate stirring that dialog.
2) After spending a year in an urban environment and the midwest, I feel that I'm more aware of my own racial prejudices than ever before.
3) I really miss doing improv.
