I see before me a lacy black tank top, just pulled over a white one in the bathroom of a club. Nina in white, Lily in black. Mirrors, scratches, monsters. Yes, the symbolism smacked you over and over again, but at least it was pretty and simple and clean symbolism. I had a feeling you would be less than impressed; it wasn't as complex as it could have been, but I maintain that it was still beautiful. Ah! The psychological terrors brought upon audiences! And the psychology of Tchaikovsky's music given proper juxtaposition! In that dark New Jersey mall theatre, I was smiling. Widely, wildly smiling, with absolute bliss that someone was able to find my darker side and revel in it.scribbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895162346431000753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5815742240138457224.post-87216238160789953122011-01-04T01:33:00.526-05:002011-01-04T01:33:00.526-05:00re: writing while boozing.

If you feel the need to booze, what is that you are trying to abate? <br />For myself, I get anxious. I have anxiety. I have trouble focusing. Trouble with sentences because sentences form thoughts that are interfering with mine. Thus, the remedy: a glass of wine. Maybe two, just to keep the words and ideas flowing, the very same words and ideas that were all scrambled and scribbled before. I'm not prescribing myself wine to deal with all issues of anxiety (I've got other, better, cheaper stuff for that), but the pairing of wine and writing makes sense to me.scribbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895162346431000753noreply@blogger.com
