I don't know what's going on, but I've been feeling kind of bummed out. Last night, I just wanted to wallow and eat ice cream. Felt like such a girl (no offense to girls).

I've been working on the Senior Banquet 2008 slide show and had to restart it a few times. The idea that I finally settled on is not nearly as exciting or fun as I would have liked. Every time I sit down to work on it, I just sigh and want to do something else. But I need to finish it by Saturday night since I'm leaving for Mexico on Sunday.

I've also been trying to get Irreplacebly Precious made. IP is a 70 page script Dan and Joyce wrote about 3 to 4 years ago. We spent a lot of time writing and then preparing it for a big live performance, but ended up canceling the show. Every once in awhile, I still think about that decision.

Part of me wonders, "what if", and the other part says that it was the right decision. I usually don't live in the past, but this is one of those things that I never really got closure on. Getting it made now should help that. To that end, I'm going to rewrite it in screenplay format.

I'm still struggling to find all the actors necessary to fill the cast. Right now, Jeannie and Andrew are on board, but need to find another guy.

The whole censorship thing isn't completely resolved, but it ended up being a lot of miscommunication amongst the leaders. Even though I still feel singled out, it probably wasn't the intention. The good thing about it is that it's forcing the leadership to look at Drama and its other ministries in a serious manner. Something that I rather get hammered out sooner rather than later.

So, I'll be in Mexico for a week. It'll be good to relax and get away to do some writing. Then when I get back, I have about 2 weeks before going to Kyrgyzstan.
