paradise regained.

[levity]

I can say what I like about being able to work better and produce better output when not on a deadline. As a matter of fact, I do. But there's the fact that I never finished anything when not on a deadline, and then there's the fact that there is nothing quite like writing the last lines of your script in a house filled with noisy classmates and a television with cable knowing that you're pushing a deadline yet again, and that no one can push a deadline quite as well as you can, not really.

And theatre is more or less a bundle of love and hate and nerves and panic- mostly panic, and maybe occasionally graced by those moments of clarity when you know exactly what you are doing and to hell with deadlines- and it may not be the best thing in the world but for sure it's going to be one crazy ride.

Also, if you were involved, in any way, shape, or form, in the making of Tuesday's Inquirer crossword, I don't like you.
