Well, I'm babysitting a meeting and find myself with a little time to kill. Guess I'll write.

I'm going in tomorrow to meet with the co-op board; actually, just one person. It shouldn't be too bad. I think I'm a good prospective tenant. This is a great apartment. Smack dab in the middle of Chelsea, near a couple of really good French (sorry, Freedom) restaurants, close to Mike yet far enough for me not to get on his boyfriend's nerves any more than I already do. Plus it's a really spacious studio (around 500 sq. ft. which is big by NYC standards). Sunken living room, seperate kitchen, dressing room, roof deck, doorman, Deco building. God, I hope I get it. (Quick, name that musical)

I've been tossing around a couple of ideas for new plays. One of the things that I've wanted to do (more to see if I could than from any illusions of them being popular) is to write a play in the style of the ancient Greek plays. As I'm sure you all know, erudite bunch that you are, the Greek dramatists (I'm thinking of Sophocles, Euripides and Aeschylus) would write plays for the Festival of Dionysius. Normally, they'd write a tragedy and follow it up with a satyr play, which normally made fun of the play or the characters in the play preceding it (satyr . . . satire, get it?). Well, I have an idea for a tragedy and for a satyr play (it doesn't actually make fun of the play I'm writing, but of Philoctetes by Sophocles). Well, I'm going to try my hand at following the proper form, etc., and see what happens. If nothing else, I should learn a lot. Or lose my love of ancient Greek drama.

I'm also still working on my novel. My horrible, horrible novel (not that the novel is bad, it's just not as easy for me to write as plays are).

I don't know why I've been in such a writing mood recently. I'm just going to keep riding the wave till it runs out.

Now that it looks like the move is going to happen, I need to buckle down and start packing. I hate doing that. Anybody want some clothes, furniture, porn, books, etc. The less I have to move the better. Just kidding about the porn though. Wouldn't want to give that away.
