These are the things I have to do.
Coming up soon is the award show for Calgary's non-professional theatre companies. I have several responsibilities here: I need to write the award script (not as hard as it sounds), coordinate three live performances, and shoot three video spots. On top of that, I have to plan a dinner for the people from my theatre group who plan to attend. All of this must be accomplished in the next two weeks.
I have to finish plans for my birthday trip to Vegas. Specifically, I need to book a dinner for 18 people. I can probably do this tonight or tomorrow.
I have to book three more hotels for my trip to Thailand.
I have to figure out how I'm paying for all this now that the video game I was writing has been canceled.
I have a great many tasks that need my attention at the job I'm no longer certain I like. On that note, I have to decide if I'm looking for a new job, and if so what.
I have to learn how to produce a play, if I am to do so this fall.
I have to make Funny Money, the play I am directing, as funny as humanly possible before it opens on Sept. 5th. That one's coming along nicely.
The bulk of this list needs to be done this month.
These are the things I <i>want</i> to do.
I want to kick back for a few days and just play Bioshock and Mass Effect.
I want to finish this noir detective script.
I want to see Jen again. Even if it's just once.
I want to find a new job, something with more writing and less grunt work.
I want to go to Vegas, then to Thailand, then leave this town and never look back. No warning, no good-byes, just a new start in Parts Unknown.
Most of this list is straight up impossible.
So if I seem... tetchy, that's why: the things I need to do are legion, and the things I want to do are largely beyond my grasp.

jody:
Is there some sort of planning for the Awards thing that I have not been seen?
