So I heard that the E. Coli outbreak was because some pigs got onto the spinach field. It now seems like common sense, but when farming pigs and spinach nearby, one should not place them in immediate proximity.

They’re slow to grow but surprisingly easy to remove.

Isn’t every sense of security a false sense of security?

I just wanted to say a few words about Urinetown and its amazing cast. They are amazing. Those who know me know I rarely go into such a panegyric; I could go into detail about each of the cast members but let’s just say that I am honored to be working with such a talented, hard working, dedicated, wonderful group of people. We may be exactly one week before opening and some of us are worried about lights, costumes, props, and all those tiny details that round out our show into what would otherwise be a staged reading, but I know that we can and will pull it all together to have an amazing opening and an amazing run. So if you haven’t bought your tickets yet, do so forthwith.

Do not confuse introversion with timidity. Some introverts I know are most brave. They have to be.

Those who advise not to place all of one’s eggs in a single basket obviously have not had only one egg at a time.

I speculate that some of the momentum behind the latest organics movement in consumer products is motivated by a counter culture reaction the preponderance of technology permeating our everyday lives. True there are those of us who believe in preserving the Earth’s biosphere for future generations and the survival of humankind but I propose that most American consumers do not consider this when purchasing.

The corporation’s interest in organics and renewable and sustainable products can only be motivated by corporate self-interest and policy and only to the point of self-sustainment for said corporation. If making and/or selling “green” products does not lead to corporate destruction then it can be assumed that those corporations that embrace organicism do so out of self interest, perhaps forseeing profit in the trend, and possibly out of environmental motives. Whether the fact that it increases a company’s positive public image is the primary objective or bonus consequence of said policy shift is open to debate and no doubt either is true in different cases.

I felt like mangling Paddy Chayefsky’s quote because I’m sick of USC. Sick, sick, sick. They make me angry. It’s been over a year now and I STILL DON’T HAVE MY FRICKIN’ DIPLOMA. Sorry, FUCKIN’ DIPLOMA! I took all the courses, passed all the courses, but because of some stupid little paperwork error I haven’t yet received my blasted diploma. I think I’m going to call them once a day every day until this matter gets resolved, because this is just ridiculous.

Prospective USC students: the film school there is great, but bring a knife sharp enough to cut through all the red tape. Without it USC might just actually get something done once in a while.
