Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (review)
This afternoon, we went to see "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" at the Repertory Theater of St. Louis.
The star of the show was definitely the set design. It was a beautiful two story set with stairs coming down both sides, and intense red lights which added quite a bit to the story, almost as if it was another actor. For instance, during one of the murder scenes, when the body fell to the floor, the red lights represented the blood spreading across the stage, which looked very modern and realistic.
Another very different method that was used was to have Mr. Hyde played by all of the supporting actors. This is very hard to describe, but it was extremely effective. It showed not only the unattainable nature of the posession by Mr. Hyde, it gave the character so many other facets than just one actor can provide.
The best actor of the day, in my opinion, was Scott Schafer. He went from role to role to role, and I wouldn't have even known it except for the fact that I read in the program that he played five main roles...not minor roles, not small roles...main roles. I would love to meet him in person, because I'm sure he wouldn't look at all like any of the characters he played. He was definitely the highlight of the cast.
All in all, this was an excellent play and well-deserving of presentation at the Rep. It still has another weekend, so if you have time to get out there, I highly suggest it.

Identifying and Categorizing Goals
I spent some time yesterday working out of "You Can Do It!" The first badge is about dreaming and identifying dreams. I spent a lot of time listing dreams that I knew about, dreams from when I was a kid that never materialized, and things that I knew I could do but never did.
I narrowed it down to 30 things, and matched them up with badges in the book, if possible. I organized them by how long it would take to do them, the effort it would take, and category.
Did I mention how much I love Excel?
I worked on a few of the initial steps of some of the badges - photography, taking care of my health, planning a party, learning a language and playing an instrument. The first steps are easy - mostly just identifying the goal. The next steps will be tougher!

You can do it!
I am starting to work on "You Can Do It!," by Laura Catuzzi Grandcolas. It's a series of 60 badges, in the same vein as scouting badges, but it's for adult women.
The first badge is about exploring and identifying your dreams, in order to even know which badges to work on next. Most of the things I've written down so far are dreams that I know I have, there haven't really been any surprises, but I have a few more exercises to go.
My plan is to blog the whole book, but I've planned to blog all of something before, and rarely get past a few entries. Perhaps this will be different. I am already way ahead on my New Year's Resolutions!
