Prep week in full swing.

And the prep is immense and somewhat behind the ball, I have to admit. We still have a few days to get things all straightened out but we could have definitely done most of this DAYS/WEEKS ago. Luckily, it looks like the crew is in good spirits. I am excited to see where this all goes!

Back in a bit of action.

I now have my computer back, after a five or so day stint on loan, and I can resume my variously rambling ways. I don't have much to say tonight... not that I don't have much going on in my mind... I just don't have much energy to speak. But I will resume again later... in due time... whatever that means. Ha.

Random breaks.

I currently am loaning out my laptop for the week so I don't have a computer with me at home(currently writing this from work.) I just wanted to throw an update in here before I left today. Things are moving along in all kinds of areas of the business. Hopefully it all turns into a big explosion of business insanity... you know... to even out all my regular insanity. Ha.

Perfection or diminishing returns.

This might be the main challenge of any artist as they consider whether or not to call a work of art complete. Certainly, as one pours more and more time into anything it should, as the focus matches the chronological advance, become a better and better piece of work... however... this always comes at a sacrifice. The sacrifice is the time/focus that could be spent more rapidly advancing some other project since the speed of discernible improvement increasingly slows drawing toward the pinnacle of the original project's completion. Put another way... work harder to perfect something that less and less people can see the improvements or call it good, knowing it could still be made better, in order to pursue better overall timing and life efficiency in other ways. It is a challenge for both the perfectionists and the schedulers/planners among us.

The long days do seem quite long.

And there's not much normal life stuff occurring lately, it seems. I think I probably should take a break at some point but I just don't see it coming for a while. I don't feel like I want it much, either, but wants and needs are not often the same thing.

Down to the last couple weeks of preparation.

And the insanity level is starting to go up. Sure, it's actually pretty low right now but by next weekend it should be in full swing and we should all be rip-roarin' to blaze on down the ol' production trail full-tilt!

Momentum builds.

It is a very slow but steady process right now. I think this means it is a good thing and that it should last for a while... hopefully forever, I suppose. I have lingered somewhere below the poverty line for basically my entire life and even though I am still basically in the same position I definitely see something different not too far ahead of me. It's nice to be optimistic once in a while. Especially to feel like I have a large bearing or influence on the potential successes I expect to reach.
