...it's been so long between blogs that the old one has disappeared off the screen. Oh well. And it's not like I didn't have anything to blog about either, I'm just very, very crap at updating.
So, what has happened lately?
The show was actually rather good in the end. The two reviews I read (The Press and Canta) were both glowing, and Si, Mog and Raewyn appeared to enjoy it (although they may have just been holding off from the slagging until out of earshot of myself and the writer/director, who was standing behind us). Also, the general consensus of the cast (and possibly crew) was that it was one of the best shows anyone had been invovled with. So yay for Corey - the mere fact he managed to (a) write a musical, (b) convince someone to run with it, and (c) turn an original, university musical into a profitable enterprise, is highly impressive. A good time was had by all, and continues to be had, with Tween parties still happening and 'Project R' safely tucked alongside many a cast and crew stereo.
"'Project R'?" you ask? Well, as Ben will testify, there is now living proof that when I say I'll produce a CD with some music on it and distribute said CD to a group of people, it can happen. That's not to say it will happen, at least not until Christmas, but, you know, it could...
Not only was the show good, I've been asked back to Stage Manage the next Threesome, and perhaps a show after that. Nice to feel wanted and all!
Other areas of life are also going well. At work, the preliminary budget is finally out of the way and the impending conference is now only a month away (gulp). And I've just been in to have the "Oh yeah, by the way, I might be quitting in a month or so" conversation with my boss. Which went surprisingly well, and included offers of a great reference and perhaps the option to match the new pay rate if the job I'm about to apply for falls through. Swee, says I. The new job description actually sounds rather scary, reading through it, even though I've had a big conversation with Joanna as to what it would really involve and it really does sound like something I could do well. Especially in regards to the Environmental Requirements listed: "Must be capable of working at a desk and in a library." Sounds good to me...
In other news:
Doom 3 is cool, and doesn't require pixel shading. Woot! Which means I'm guessing Ben is about to move into our spare room in t-minus 2 days...
Guitar and music stuff and things are possibly about to become even cooler - watch this space...
Musoc may or may not have worked its dramasoc kinda magic...
It's less than a month until I vacate this place know as Vertigo, and make my move to Holly Road. Which means you all have less than a month's worth of Adam and Heidi lovin' before they disappear into deepest, darkest Africa for ten whole weeks. Ooo.
There's more, but I can never think of any of it when I sit down in front of a computer screen. Which is just one of the reasons why I blog so infrequently. That and slackness.
Move along, nothing to read here.

Posted by: Dave at August 8, 2004 03:28 PMYay no pixel shading!
Posted by: heq at August 8, 2004 05:55 PMYup, CD was produced by my techie type crew (aha! You see, while it was my idea, the actual production was largely due to tech-guy Spence's efforts :), and procured by all and sundry.
And I'm now waiting for the (Poland)Adam/Ben Doom 3 showdown, appearing in a spare room near Fi anytime now. Gety your tickets early, this'll be a good un...
Posted by: saint at August 9, 2004 11:05 AMHmm. Delegating on cd production. Unconvinced. Largely because of the ramifications of my inconsidered statement above.
