You've been wanting to take a vacation anyway, right? You've been dying for an excuse to see DisneyWorld and Epcot Center. The timing is perfect since you can get your traveling done early in the month and be home in time for the holidays. So come to Orlando to see the World Premiere of my play "Triangle Logic!" You know you want to!
Can you tell I'm excited? I hope to see you at the show! If not, there's always next time. "Triangle Logic" may soon be playing in a city near you. As my mother would say..."from my mouth, to God's ears!"

Passing
I'm here to promote my awesome friend Joe who is a wonderful photographer. I'm proud to say that he's currently got an exhibition up at Gallery 825 called "Passing." If any of you are in the LA area, you really need to check this out. Here's the blurb from the website:
"Joe Notaro's Passing exhibition of contemporary photographs captures the randomness and intimacy of everyday chance encounters by investigating the everyday action of walking in public. By capturing this moment, Notaro's camera creates the illusion of intimacy in a scene we recognize as merely another random passing. Noses seem to touch; eyes meet; an arm follows the arc of its natural movement — casual visual information that both greets and challenges the viewer."
Gallery 825 is located at 825 N. La Cienega Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90069. The show runs through November 13th. For more info check at LA Arts Association at http://www.laaa.org/
Go support art! Go have a night of culture! You'll totally dig it. Yay for you Joe! I'm so proud of you!

Blog Action Day: Stop hitting the snooze button and wake up!
I am not an activist. I didn't start this blog to voice my opinions about what is right and wrong in the world. I simply wanted a place to go to vent my frustrations, to document my observations, and to amuse myself and anyone else who cared to come along for the ride. But if I were to deliberately avoid speaking out about the elephant in the room; if I deliberately turned the other cheek and said I don't want to talk about an issue because it's too scary, too big, too political, too whatever...well, that would not be cool.
Today is Blog Action Day and the topic is Climate Change. I have been prompted by this event to talk about Planet Earth. The timing is perfect. I'm smack dab in the middle of a project that deals with this very issue. I've been researching all things global warming and the truth is my friends, it is a very scary issue indeed. But to do nothing, to say nothing, to remain apathetic would be the worst thing of all.
The news is bleak. The numbers are alarming. But the good news is, that the fat lady has not yet sung, and there's still time to do something about it. Yeah...YOU! You can do something. WE can do something about it. I am the type of person that gets overwhelmed by the big picture, and I won't lie...this is overwhelming to me, and I thought, "What can I do? Little ol' me? This is something that needs to be tackled by world leaders and people with important titles after their names." Wrong. I am learning that helping out even on the smallest scale will have an impact. If EVERYONE pitches in, the work it will take to clean up this mess will get done.
One step at a time. I have to keep telling myself that with all things I try to accomplish. But I can recycle. I can reduce my water usage. When I can, I'll walk instead of taking the car. I can change my lightbulbs to the more energy efficient ones. I can make these adjustments. You can too. It's not as hard as you think. Yes, you can leave the big stuff to the big guns. But in the meantime, stop taking for granted the beauty of this planet. You'll miss it when it's gone. You really will.
Thanks for listening. And now we will return to our regularly scheduled programming. Peace.

Flash Forward
There's a new show on ABC on Thursday night at 8pm called "Flash Forward." It premiered this past Thursday with an encore showing last night. I guess they really want to build a following for this show. I think it's by the same creators as "Lost" and I never got into that show. But this one is good. The first episode was good anyway. Hopefully, they'll keep it up. Keep it intriguing, which it was. I'm hoping it doesn't get too complicated to follow, but it sorta reminded me of the "X Files" which I LOVED back in the day.
"Flash Forward" is clever and a little bit creepy and it hooked me right from the start. I made a vow to myself not to get sucked into watching reality television this season. Not that I ever was a huge reality fanatic. I watched "Survivor" for the first two seasons and then stopped. Watched "Biggest Loser" last season and really got into it, but I don't want to go there again this season. Enough is enough.
I'm too busy to watch television anyway, but every now and then a new show comes down the pike that is promising....I don't get HBO or Showtime, so I'm not even tempted by the great shows that are on those channels. "Glee" and "30 Rock" and now "Flash Forward" may be my choices for this fall. But I've got to limit my television time because I've got a lot of work to do....all the time, work, work, work....could possibly make Deb a very dull girl....God, I hope not.
Check out Flash Forward...I recommend it. It's cool.

New Articles
I have been getting a lot of articles published on eHow.com. There's over 20 articles right now, and the topics are extremely diverse. I have become The Research Queen!
Here's the link if you want to check me out over at eHow.com:

I've been writing so much other stuff, I've sorta been neglecting this blog. :(
I promise to try and be more prolific. It would motivate me to write more bloggy stuff if I'd get more feedback...hint, hint, hint....no pressure of course!

Uh oh...it's back....
Yes, folks...we are once again in the midst of a Mercury Retrograde. It started yesterday, (the planet Mercury traveling backwards) and it will continue through September 29th. Mercury is the planet that rules communication, travel, technology...so when it's running backwards...well, you do the math! Usually, there are only 3 Mercury Retrogrades per year, but I guess 2009 is special, because we'll have to put up with a 4th one starting December 26th. Just a little heads up for ya!
Between the stinkin' retrograde, and tomorrow being 9/9/09, and the full moon a few days ago, and the Swine flu, and the fires, and, and, and....AHHHHH.....the sky is falling, the sky is falling....Nah...it's not the end of the world...that doesn't come until December 21, 2012...the end of the Mayan calendar. You've heard about that right? Well, if you haven't, don't worry....cause Hollywood made a movie all about it. It stars John Cusack (one of my favs) and I'm sure it will help you learn everything you need to know about the end of the world. Cause if Hollywood says so, it must be true. Right? Of course right! Bahahahaha...
Honestly, I'm not as caught up in all this astrological stuff as some of you may think. However, I do believe there might be something to it...and even if it is all just a bunch of bullshit, at least I have something to blame for my fuzzy head, my forgetfulness, and rude people who do not answer my emails or return my phone calls...etc., etc., etc. I will tell you this: I am fiendishly backing up my work on my computer...call it superstitious or call it ridiculous, but better safe than sorry, my daddy used to say!
Mercury may be moving backwards causing all these feelings of sluggishness...but the fact is that the world, as far as I know, is still turning, and work awaits....I must get to it...I need to go feed the machine!
