Okay, so I know I haven't posted in a while... but I'm hoping to get back in the habit. At least to help me stay connected to those around me.
I don't want to make this post a laundry list of all the crap that I am doing that is stressing me out, so instead I'll just share an interesting anecdote.
I was directing my Nightly News show, and as director I am calling the shots on the show. So I'm watching the monitors, telling the technical director to change the cameras, etc. It got a little loud in the studio, and I asked everyone to keep it down because I was having trouble concentrating.
Here at Emerson, there are perpetual campus tours. Emerson is a marketing machine, bringing in 7th and 8th graders on occasion to hook 'em early. So I guess the normality of seeing a tour group coupled with the fact that I was focusing on directing a show made me miss it.
I found out what "it" was after the show.
Tim Robbins.
Yeah, That Tim Robbins. The academy award winner.
He was on a tour of Emerson College, and he was in the studio while I was directing a show. Funny thing about it is that I never saw him. So I can't even tell the story as "I saw Tim Robbins". I can only say "Apparently Tim Robbins was behind me on Tuesday". Strange.
Most later.

Who's Tim Robbins? Glad your back. :~}
Atleast you had professionalism when Tim Robbins was in the studio and you weren't the dumbfounded fan "Oh Mr. Robbins I loved you in Shawshank..." and bring up some strange thing you think you have in common with him like "Shawshank prison was in Maine Mr. Robbins and I am from Maine too." That would have wierded him out for sure. I bet he was impressed that you kept working despite the distractions.
Oh TIM ROBBINS from Shawshank Redemtion. Oh fool am I. I thought it must be someone from the otherside of the camera. I never even thought about actors! how dumb am I. And I agree with Voyager P. He must have thought you were professional not to get up and gush. Keep up your cool style.
Wow. That is really weird and cool.
