Elections and my week in Iowa
So today I read my cousin (or something)'s play SIX ON SIX
Its about basketball (which I dont really understand) but its also about fighting for what you believe in... I dont really know how to explain it. I want to read it again (or get an updated copy because it's probably been revised in the past day I've read it) but I really like it.
My only issue with it is that they play basketball onstage. Only the way the play is written, the basketball court will have to be on a platform. In my experience with platforms, it's slightly more than dangerous to have twelve people standing on one, much less playing a fast-paced sport on it. But I guess a professional tech team would be a little better at building than say, Ms Neander's second block. No offense to them, remembering that I was in that class too... That's how I know half of us had no idea what we were doing. Poor Brandon. I'm looking foward to February but I'm really nervous. My stage-anxiety isn't about embarrassing myself in front of the audience, but more about making some small mistake and getting everyone pissed at me for wasting $200 worth of lumber. I want a little shoulder-Brandon to tell me what to do so I'm not so nervous.
The set changes a lot in 6 on 6. At least I know I'd never be bored. If we built the basketball-court platform, it could stay there the whole play. that wont be hard. Of course, I've never seen the theatre this would be going on in.. I'm trying to imagine this on the CHS stage and it's just not working.

I'm freaking out about elections. Everyone is. Jake and I took turns talking each other through last night. It's okay Jake, Kerry is so far ahead in the polls. Bush won't win. They won't reinstate the draft, that goes against almost every freedom in the American dream. You won't have to run to Canada.
Did you know I have family in Toronto? I wouldn't mind living with them if this doesn't work out. It'll be cold but I hear there are some pretty good colleges in Canada.
I think Kerry will win this election. I really think he will. My faith in the American people rests in this election*. We'll know who the next president is by midnight tonight. This election will change/save/doom so many lives it's not even funny.
I've only ever heard random reports from Bosnia in fourth grade.. I never really understood the concept of war. I still don't think I do. But now I know what Trudeau was talking about. Wars suck.
*My faith in humanity just went from hardly there to totally nonexistent
