Chronos Theatre's Grand Guignol Project previews at Jon Block's Sight and Sound

San Diego, CA- An Evening at the Grand Guignol is Chronos Theatre Group's first full production being performed on October 8th and 9th, 2008. A few cast members performed a 7 minute scene from the show at Jon Block's Walk the Walk Sight and Sound Event at the World Beat Center in Balboa Park.

The Director Marie Miller's talented cast was able to pull a solid performance. Even though the venue itself was unforgiving with no sound support for a theatrical play the actors drew the crowd in and more importantly attention.

I have been lucky enough to see the development of this show  and in doing so have learned a bit about the development and the history of Grand Guignol. This naturalist style of theatre was ahead of its time a bit of macabre, comedy and sexual farce deserves a look to see that our rather odd sense of humor has been around for quite a while.

If you enjoy Law and Order, Dexter, and even a bit of Monty Python you'll find this jaunt to the Grand Guignol fascinating.

Second Day with serious reduced sugar intake...

San Diego CA,- The last two days I have cut out soft drinks and replaced with a combination of water, iced Tea with Emergen C. While sugar has not completely been eliminated I am trying to reduce radically.

As I get older I have noticed that wondeful shift in metabolism that everyone raves about, you know that art where you can't eat the way you used to eat.

Also I am also sleeping less, working more and find myself in front of the camera more and more.

So in an attempt to lose what I call "Actor Fat" I realize it will also assist me in controlling my blood sugar, BMI, and Acne.

I did a little research and found that some believe there is a correlation between sugar intake and acne as it pertains to insulin.

This started to make sense as I was working long days and gaining and losing energy by using soft drinks or energy drinks with sugar.

So two days of sugar reduction and I am craving less calories and energy seems to be more even. In tandem I did also catch up on slee which always helps. We will see what happens.

Soda Relacement Beverage Tip: Unsweetened Ice Tea and an Emergenc Raspberry Flavor is my favorite followed by Tangerine.

California Special Care Part 2? Rehab Tip: Be there as much as possible

San Diego Ca- Mom is currently in rehabilation at California Special Care in La Mesa. We specifically requested that she be returned to this facility because the staff was attentive and also was familiar with her physical ability. We felt that she would have the best chance at recovery by returning to a facility where they know her.

Apparently she was placed in a different part of the facility which means that a different team is care taking for her. All teams seem not to be equal as she notably was in distress about the way she was treated the last few days.

Due to her pain medication her Aphasia does get worse meaning that she has a challenge communicating, that being stated, we assume that a staff used to dealing with Stroke victims would make considerations.

I believe that it most likely it comes down to a specific staff member with not the best bedside manner.

I spoke with a staff member this evening and she seemed surprised. I will follow up with management if conditions do not improve.

Care Taking Tip: It would help considerably in having a family member around to assist and faciltate recovery and communication etc.

We will adjust accordingly and for those out there that could use this advice. I hope it finds you well.

A quick memory of 911

It was early in the morning when the phone rang and Beths Mom told us over the answering machine to turn on the tv. Staggering out of bed the TV went on and suddenly everything was incredibly surreal.

I remember how it just seemed like a movie. That was the only way to relate to the incredibly powerful images that were completely real.

I remember not going back to sleep going into the office and then calling my parents who had no idea what was happening.

I remember how the death count estimate was much more than the eventual actual toll. Somehow we were relieved.

The Pearl Harbor of our generation. It is my hope on this day we can reflect on those days where we all came together. The world mourned us and was on our side. It is my hope that we can come together again to do Good and bring more peace and less war.

Watching Fringe on Hulu TV from Fox and the first 15 min Rock So Far....

San Diego CA- I'm watching Fringe on Hulu.com and it's totally engaging and I just reached PLOT POINT 1. Apparently this thing debuted with 9 million viewers where as 90210 only got around 3 million on Tuesday.

Fringe hits me so far as sort of a X Files type show. Which I think is a Niche that needs to be filled. The concept of intelligently dealing with extraordinary situations is always fun...

Lola Connelly's Art Featured at 3rd Annual University Open

 

San Diego, Ca- Up and coming artist Lola Connelly's paintings were featured at University Heights Arts Festival at the Swedenborg Hall.

Lola's pieces have undeniable presence and as many of the pieces have an uplifting feel to them you can't help but sense a dark tone to them. As with any art you wonder what really inspired the artist to begin with.

Twitter Fanbase Is Growing

San Diego CA,- One of the hardest things about this Social Media Stuff is keeping up with all of the different accounts. The reality is that everyone of these platforms can generate traffic for you it's just a question of delegating time to these items.

I know a lot of people leave apps open and check them the same way they would an email account. I now can pull up my google, yahoo mail, facebook, myspace and twitter on my palm 755 using inly the browser. So being connected is pretty solid.

The next step for us to get the content going out on a regular basis. We have 4 podcasts and 4 video podcasts stacked up in the TO DO bin. I am confident that once we can get past these initial templates we can schedule for consistent media production.

Hope you all had a good weekend.

Thank You for twittering, etc.
