I’ve been all kinds of sick lately, and I am not really enjoying it.
\nBut I did see PJ Sabbagha last night for a fantastic chat. He is co-founder of
\nthe forgotten angle theatre
\ncollaborative,<\/a> and I had the pleasure of working with him on the
\ndouble room.<\/a><\/i> It looks like we will likely be collaborating on a new piece
\nthat should go up in July or so, and the
\ndouble room<\/a><\/i> will also be re-visited in downtown Joburg, late this year.
\nBoth pieces are about the discourse surrounding HIV in contemporary South Africa,
\nand more specifically, the metaphorization of disease. Very emotive, as well as
\nthought-provoking, stuff.
\nHere’s<\/a>
\na great article on Kucinich,<\/a>
\none of the Dem hopefuls for the primaries, in the NY Times (need free subscription).
\nHe seems a lot cooler than I initially thought. Still wary on his wishy washy
\nPro-Choice stance, though…
\nThe
\nNote<\/a> was completely unforgiving to the Green Party yesterday, taking that
\nall – too – common – but – in – my – opinion – completely – misled stance that
\nthey "cost Gore the election." Of course there was a difference between
\nGore and Bush! But why vote for a slightly better candidate when you can vote
\nfor the best one? Besides, most Nader<\/a>
\nvoters were people who don’t usually vote. And in my opinion, the reason we are
\nseeing Dem candidates with far greater differences in this<\/i> election (as
\nopposed to the last) has a lot to do with how the Green Party shook up the Dems.
\nI just hope it’s Dean,<\/a>
\nEdwards<\/a> or Kucinich<\/a>
\non our bill. Please not Lieberman<\/a>
\n– he’s even worse than Gore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
