Dr. Jones and his Latest Adventures: What Am I Doing?

I have nothing to write about. I suppose that's not entirely true, but nothing that I care so passionately about. Here are some random thoughts that are popping in my head.

1. This recording of "Reporting Live" is turning into an epic ordeal. But it's something that I feel will be BEYOND worth it in the end.

2. I started Musical Theatre Practicum this past week. It's basically divided into four sections. Dance, Voice and Speech, Acting/Production, and Music Theory/Performance. It's a cool group with some great teachers. It's just extremely odd studying performance in my final year of school.

3. I'm getting closer to outlining the untitled Caroline and George project. At least, the second half is relatively outlined. I'm so excited to write this show. At first it began as an analysis of marriage. But it's turning into something else. I don't know what it is yet, but I will soon. There are at least six songs in the second act that are slightly drafted. The main problem I'm worried about is that I deliberately want this show to be absolutely hilarious. "Goodnight, Stranger" has nothing funny in it. And while "Reporting Live" has its funny moments, lets face it, the show as a whole isn't necessarily a knee-slapper. Writing to be funny just feels odd for some reason. Anyways, the music for this show is going to be absolutely bizarre and will make no sense and thus I am rather excited.

4. I've been re-watching the entire series of "Six Feet Under". An absolutely jaw-dropping series that knows how to lift me up and force me to appreciate the fact that I'm alive. Not to mention it's fucking great acting and powerful writing. Frances Conroy, Michael C. Hall, Rachel Griffiths, Peter Krause, Lauren Ambrose, Kathy Bates, Patricia Clarkson, Jeremy Sisto, Justina Machado, Joanna Cassidy, Lilli Taylor, Matthew St. Patrick, Richard Jenkins, James Cromwell, and Freddy Rodriguez make for one oustanding ensemble of actors. I just started watching the final season. If anyone reading this knows the series REALLY well, the dialogue during Nate's wedding is some of the best dialogue ever written. Ever.
