  Hello.  I haven't posted recently,  mostly because I've been busy with work and such -  these things happen. nbsp;  At present,
 my work mainly entails showing grossly over- paid, nbsp; incredibly neurotic people who have incredibly short attention spans how to accomplish ostensibly simple tasks on the computer. nbsp;  Unfortunately,
 these tasks& nbsp; become infinitely more difficult when no one listens to explanations,  and no one does. nbsp;  So,
 after 8 hours at the office,  my time comprised predominately of 20- minute segments in which I explain such computer subtleties as the difference between a " right click"  and a " left click,
 I am usually quite ready to jump off a rather large bridge.  Sadly,  I don't have the balls.  In other news,  I saw a new musical tonight,  music and lyrics by Steven Sondheim,
 starring ( and written by)  Nathan Lane. nbsp;  It's a very free adaptation of the Aristophanes Play,  "
The Frogs,  in which Dionysos and his slave Xanthias go to the underworld to try and brimg back a playwright to save mankind. nbsp;  The original version of the play was laden with political satire and subtle humor,  as was& nbsp;
Lane's adaptation ( for instance,  the frogs who attack pre- emptively but then can't remember why they attacked in the first place) nbsp;  It was sort of funny,
 but mainly disjointed and all- together not worth the money. nbsp;  It was fun seeing Nathan Lane 10- feet from my face,  I admit,
 but somehow it wasn't quite as epiphanic ( is that a word? nbsp; a moment as I had envisioned. nbsp;  You probably could've&
nbsp; done something more productive with the minute it took you to read this post.  End.  & nbsp;
