1+1=21

and now the birthday and all the hassle is over.
it was very much like last year and that frightens me a little. i'm twenty-one years now which means that i'm fully responsible for all the mess i make, that i'm allowed to drink and drive (separately) in almost all countries around the world... yeah, that's nice. but does this change anything?
well, no. i'm still the same jerk i've been a year ago, a bit more self-assured perhaps, a little wiser in many ways, but generally i'm still me, the same me i used to be. and who knows if that's the root of all the trouble?
the new movie script i'm writing is about halfway through. it still needs two or three scenes (i'm not too sure about the last one) and heavy retouching and modifying and then we can start thinking about shooting it. it's going to be about ten to fifteen minutes only, but with - as i imagine - lots of great visual stuff and some very nice ideas. it's one of these projects where i want people to be able to look inside my head to see what i see. it's all there.
in other news, we've started the hot phase of practice for the next theater performance. it's not one play, it's a collection of pieces from several plays, short stories and novels, all centered around the human being. it's a very interesting concept and i'm really looking forward to showing it to people. yeah, okay, it's also because i'm allowed to play mephistopheles in one of the greatest scenes from goethe's faust. heh. nice.
and what else have the last weeks taught me:
that drums are a lot harder than i thought, that betas always end too soon, that twenty-four hours a day just isn't enough for working, sleeping and getting the stuff done you keep pushing away for weeks, that music helps over really dark times (straylight run, saving my life right now) and that 1+1 seems to become 21 more quickly than i ever believed.
and it teaches me that i need to get on my feet right now and into my bed to start reading all the amazing books i got for my birthday. thanks guys ;o)
and, all in all, it was good. somehow.
