Countdown.
At 4.36 pm today I was inexplicably excited about production in two days. Pure excitement, no tinge of apprehension or relief or impatience or whatever - this is what we did, what I did. Whatever it is, it's mine/ours. That - counts for a lot. It doesn't make everything okay, but it makes everything irrelevant, I think.
I have a busy, productive night ahead so I am just going to say two more things:
1) 1984 is incomparably, terrifyingly brilliant. It lived up to its hype entirely, a feat which no other book has ever managed to do for me, I think. And the scariest part is that - it makes sense. Big Brother makes sense to me. This is something that could happen, not in the book's exactitude (matter is irrelevant) but in the minds of people.
I think - I think if it would be enough for me to have written something like that.
2) I caught a bit of Superstars of Dance on Star World early and several performances blew me away. There was a contemporary one by this Australian dancer that was breathtakingly gorgeous in its fluidity and the sheer joy of living, dancing that the guy managed to convey, and an ensemble American hip hop performance which - I have no words for. Technically perfect, and vigorous and vibrant and I will post Youtube videos if I find them.
Inevitably this week will be over and I will be glad.
