  • A Culinary Masterpiece

    Ah!  The sweet, sweet taste of blueberries sprinkled liberally with chili powder ...

    A true breakfast delight, wrought by the unfettered creativity of the subconscious mind!

    The skeptic may claim that I grabbed the wrong spice container while hurriedly fumbling through a dark cupboard, but I know better. 

  • Broadway Actors at $8 per Show!

    Fall is
    approaching and that means once again, for me, a community theatre
    production.  I've directed and/or acted in a fall play for the past few
    years.  If I direct I usually take a very small acting part, only if
    absolutely needed to fill out the cast.  I choose plays because they're
    funny, not as some sort of ego trip.

    This year, however, that's all changed:  I have
    assigned myself a central part in a one-act play.  Preparing for this
    and being president of Salem's Rotary Club for 2007-2008 has taken up
    some time and I just haven't had much motivation to update this site
    much lately.  I've had a few half-baked ideas for entries over the past
    couple months, but haven't felt like putting them through the creative
    fires of the xanga oven.  It's best not to serve them partially cooked
    lest someone get e-coli poisoning (Like "e. coli" but
    transmitted/digested via internet).  

    So
    if anyone (or no one)
    wants to see Stupidocles's alter ego on the stage, I am to play the
    part of Rodney/Holmes in a Sherlock Homes parody called "Hidden
    Meanings" on September 28-30 and October 5-7 at the Salem Community
    Theatre (7:30 Fri and Sat, 3:00 Sun).  Another very different one-act
    play will be paired with it:  a comedic melodrama set in mountain
    country with a handlebar-mustachioed villain, a damsel in distress, and
    a noble hero.  I'm not in that one (which might make it better), but both
    plays should be a lot of fun... and as stated above, you have the rare opportunity to see Broadway actors perform for a mere $8 for the two plays together!
