mmm, a google search shows jasco is a popular name for all sorts of things. But the paint-related stuff, I have never seen it here.

rains it pours, yes oh yes it does! but ge, you aren't jobless are you? Or did I miss something?

good luck rg- it sounds like you'll get some support which is great, and hopefully you can find something else to do living in a place where you feel more connected.

apparently community connection is an upcoming theme in the next few months..this is the dawning of the age of aquarius, la la la la la la...
The astrology of the coming days and weeks is like an enormous amplifier of our ideas and feelings. It feels like an ocean of insight. The energy level is turned up steadily, beginning in the next 48 hours, through the coming week and over the next six weeks. We are at one of those world-bridge moments where we can go from one reality to the next, and become different people, and a different society, in the process. Let's take ourselves along. Bring your loving intentions into your community experiences. Pay attention, and keep choosing. Let everything that you see that you don't want, remind you with that much more heart and soul of what you do. Find that small space within you where you really feel safe, and let the feeling expand from there.
I'm supposed to have some sort of epiphany where someone or something presents the question the I need to hear in order to move to the next place for me to be. I can't wait!

eh.. damn typo. Probably not doing hushville again. Last year I just didnt feel "at home" there anymore.
But I will be sure to bring some of our stuff over to our loved ones over there.

But its still early yet.. and that idea may change too.

Well, your absence will be missed, but if you must move on, you must. Do come and visit, though. As Flounder-at-Large, I officially invite you to the cocktail party, even if you're not a denizen of hushville.

but you know, i feel like the next few months are going to be really cool and interesting. i guess i feel that's what happening for me, so in some way i think it will be that way for other people too. You know what I mean? It just seems like a time of new opportunities and changes. Changes can really suck but they can also be a time to re-evaluate and move in a different direction. I don't know, I'm just stoked for the spring to come. I can't wait to see what it's going to be like. I have a picture in my mind and I want to see it happen!

Julius Caesar is correct. Twenty points. "Brutus" sort of gives it away, though. Speaker is Caius Cassius, in case you were curious. And I quoted it from memory, with only one mistake. Fate should have been fates.

I've always wanted to play Richard III. I make a great villain. Of course, for villainy, you can't beat Aaron (Titus Andronicus). There's a slight barrier to my playing him.... "Aaron the Moor."

O, why should wrath be mute, and fury dumb?
I am no baby, I, that with base prayers

Ten thousand worse than ever yet I did
Would I perform, if I might have my will;
If one good deed in all my life I did,
I do repent it from my very soul.

I did Richard III three years ago, in reperatory with Merry Wives... it was a fucking hoot... I played Lord Stanley, the Earl of Derby (wouldn't let me wear the hat, though)... I absolutely loved it. Our Richard fucking rocked... and he and I had a shit load of fun with the part...

And as Falstaff, I just enjoyed myself. Merry Wives is not one of his best, but we had fun making it work... a lot of fun...

Falstaff is one of what we call the "Apocryphal" plays, or the "lesser" plays, or the "bad" plays. Like Pericles. And Two Gentlement of Verona. I hate to be the one to say it, but Romeo and Juliet sucks, too.

Well, I've played Falstaff (and I agree with you) and my daughter played Sylvia in Two Gents. *sigh*... well, hell... it's still Shakespeare...

But, then again, I've done David Ives (as has my son) and Albee. And I was in "Look Back In Anger" and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof".... we all do what we can...
