Acting Up

My musings, thoughts, rants, and discoveries. - Scott Maddock

Back to Blogging


I haven't blogged here since 2012. Why am I making a stab at it again?

I realized two things about social media I wanted to get away from. First was that I was often using it as a journal, which is boring and maybe TMI for those platforms. Secondly I was using it too much for my taste, so that I felt like a tool for marketers rather than using social media as a tool for my ends.

Oh, Bother

Austere, that is the word I was looking for. I was reading a blog about Leonid Anisimov, and there it was. I skipped my coffee this morning, deciding I didn't feel like caffeine. I've dropped alcohol, caffeine, uh... herbs, most of my morning ritual, and so on. I didn't say I'm quitting. Just decided I didn't have time. I hadn't set out a course of austerity, it came to me.

Funny thing about that. Right now I'm at work for a bit with a splitting headache. Kind of an interesting switch. Going to work for a while in the evening after a day full of theatre.

Some stuff has gone awry, there's a couple individuals I'd like to practice some aggressive behavior upon. Still, I'm thinking of this unplanned dumping of vices or indulgences. I feel a slightly more aesthetic world view, while at the same time fantasizing about visiting physical violence on a couple people. I feel hard and soft. Understanding and out of patience. Go figure.

G'night. I'm going home, and I can now finish my work tomorrow after rehearsal with my scene partner.

I haven't been commenting much lately, but wanted to let you know I am devouring... soaking in... loving your blogs since ETI started. You're hot and deep. I read each one every day. Completely nourishing for the soul. Keep it coming, Scott.

I've been pretty occupied myself. I've been hard pressed to keep up on the blogs I read, often getting several days behind.
