I haven’t slept well since school started. It takes me a while to fall asleep and I tend to wake up in the middle of the night. The gears in my head are still spinning trying to process all the new information – both scholastic and otherwise – that my brain is receiving. I’ve basically been running on overdrive for a month and I can’t do it anymore. So I’m making two conscious decisions:
1. I will resume two activities important to me that I quit when school started: reading and working out. [I know I mentioned the working out thing a while ago, but I mean it this time. Really.]
2. I’m going to slow down. I always feel like I need to be rushing off to somewhere. No more. The rushing stops here and now.
The book I started isn’t actually a book; it’s a play, and a damn funny one at that. It’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf by Edward Albee. I started reading it this morning on the light rail on the way to school and I found myself chuckling out loud. The rubbing alcohol bit had me rolling. Seriously, you need to pick this play up. It’s a riot.

ok, this play of drunk people quickly turned from a riot into a total downer. it's kind of like being drunk, i guess. it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt.

"but it really is just about 4 drunk people railing on each other, more or less." And who can't relate with that? Good idea with the working out. You need a place to feed that nervous energy into.

thanks bro. it's all about being proactive. yeah, the play itself is pretty funny, but i can see how it can come off as just plain mean. i'm reading it with the expectation most of the pot-shots are said with a tongue-in-cheek tone. but it really is just about 4 drunk people railing on each other, more or less.

I saw this play not too long ago and hated it. But I think it might have been the directing. Portland Center Stage, where I saw it, had a number of plays that were really bitter and were all about people being mean and horrible to each other. Too painful. I'm glad to hear that the play itself is more humorous.
