IGNATIUS BLOOM
SAYS WHAMMO!
It is in not getting things right that mistakes come in,
entering through an envious porthole when we're paying
little mind. I tried keeping this secret, but now the
secret is out. Those girls from the theater, yes, yes,
they're all pretty and sound - my just look at them
now - but I wouldn't know what to do with them
if I had them. Do they practice lines? Can they get
their parts right? Do they understand the motivation
of what they propose to emote? More gently than this,
I cannot be. The corpse in act one already has to pull
the trigger in act three. That's just the way it goes.

I love my Palomino Blackwing pencils. They really
are great for drawing : strong, black line, no breakup,
steady lead, a really great travel along the paper's
surface. It makes a difference, and one that more
than only I can see. Ignatius Bloom was once in
a house. Now he is under it, and flat, and cold.

Consider that scenario, and then send the actors out
for their supper and maybe a two-hour break before
we once again rehearse an evening's worth. Sooner
then later - I hope - we'll actually get it right.
