2016 stuff
So 2016 sure did happen. Just keeping this post down to personal level things rather than going into the assorted craziness of national and international 2016.
I didn't have New Year's resolutions for '16 per se. But I had decided that I specifically wanted a few of my projects to get going again, some which had been on the back burner for years.
-I finished Four Chaplains! Woo! We had finished the recording in 2015, but I was worried that it would sit in post-production limbo and would never be done. But instead progress actually went really fast on it and it got to see the light of day. :)
-I have a card game I've been working on and it moved forward to some tentative play testing. Not a huge step-forward, but definite progress!
-And finally I had some stories that I've wanted to work on, about a series about a 70's Boston reporter. I had three episode ideas and I got some forward movement. One script is in first draft and a second is outlined.
Hopefully I'll get some more work done on the second two projects this year. :)
My personal life went up and down all over 2016. I got to go to Vegas in January, which was great fun! Albiet I spent too much money.
Work went a little goofy and I had to call in after I got home from Vegas to see if I still had a job. I did, albiet there had been some shakeups in the company.
My folks came to visit and we went around town including day trips to Salem and Gloucester.
At the end of the Summer I decided it was time to move, after 13 years in my old place. So I did! Woo! And now have my own little studio apartment and the rent that that entails. (blugh!)
Work went through yet another shake-up and while i kept my job about a third of my department did not. Oof. (my workload changed three different times this year)
My theater life stayed busy throughout. I worked on the following shows:
Star Trek: Journey to Babel (Arisia and Reprise)
Alice in Wonderland
Metamorphoses
Revenge of the Super Sleuths
The Spanish Tragedy
Stop Kiss
Tomes of Terror: Campfire Tales
Slutcracker
As noted previously worked on the studio project Four Chaplains as well as The Arrest of Arsene Lupin.
As always I never get to the movies as often as I like, but I did catch the following:
Green Room
Under the Shadow (as part of BUFF!)
10 Cloverfield Lane
Deadpool
Captain America: Civil War
Suicide Squad
Star Trek: Beyond
X-Men: Apocalypse
Purge: Election Year
At the Brattle I got to see The Sweet Smell of Success and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
I missed them in the theater but got to see the following on DVD:
Ghostbusters
Lights Out
The Conjuring 2
Tales of Halloween
Batman Vs. Superman
Oh, and I got to show a bunch of friends Theater of Blood in the Somerville MicroCinema. :)
