Consistency and hobgoblins.
Whilst compiling and preparing a report that uses source documents from 6 different people, I was put in mind of the famous Ralph Waldo Emerson quote - "Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." However, upon Googling, I have discovered that the real quote is "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." Yes. I agree with that. Because right now, I need some goddamn consistency in reportage. This job shouldn't take two hours, and it wouldn't if everyone used the format that I have so helpfully provided. I don't think that's too foolish of a thing to ask. Oh, well.

So, in other news, I have been asked to direct scenes from "'Tis Pity She's A Whore" and "She Stoops To Conquer" for a theater company's anti-V-day celebration and fundraiser. Kick ass. Of course, I won't be able to actually be at the thing, due to stage-managing commitments, but it's a great chance to get some experience with Restoration comedies. I've been pushing "The Invention Of Love" at this company, so it's a good way to see if we can work together. Yes.
----------
I really like the word "hobgoblin". That is all....
----------
Well, not all. I had a wonderful time talking to various people last night. I heard one friend's recap of her whirlwind of 2003, and I heard another's take on classic drama. Both of them are people that I feel a tremendous amount of affection for, even though we barely see each other. Connections are wierd that way.

Tired. Hungry. Back to the report.....
