Ennui
I am suffering from a state of ennui worse than usual. Worse than ennui. I am millimeters from making drastic choices and for no apparent reason. Why do people get this antsy. So I procrastinate, among other things. Not a good thing to be doing when one has a dance piece, an internship and the beginnings of a thesis looming ahead. Sick of grad school? Cold feet? Not sure. I don't think a change of hair color will fix this. Though given how moody I was last year about this time maybe it's just seasonal affective disorder.
And the promise of a period production of Country Wife looks as though it might be out the window, for appropriate reasons of course. I am referring to a stylization of the play though, not the arrbitrary placement of the play in a contemporary setting. But at this point I'm not sure what I want to do with the information I took away from that meeting. I'm leaning towards something akin to the Anglomania exhibit that was recently at the Met. Using the late 1600's as a backdrop. But for the moment I'm going back to drawing fairies for Iolanthe--a class project unfortunately.

Hey I hope things pick themsevles up for you. Just out of curiousity how is The Country Wife being stylized so that it is no longer period? I'm always interested when people make these choices with shows.
Ennui must be a grad-school word because it's way over my head. I understand decison parallasis though - only I suffered from it when I was colassally depressed. As far as projects go it sounds like you're under a fair bit of pressure. Maybe you just need to get away and not think of anything show-related for a while. can you take a weekend off? See a movie, blow some money and come back on Monday make a decison and stick to it? Don't know if that fits into your life right now but that's what I would try to do.
I'm with laura, ennui is way out there, and i'm to lazy to look it up. I have also discovered that blowing some money, time or other resources on yourself realy has a postive(at least short term) effect on the darkness blahs that come this time of year.
PS a call to the old man would make him feel good
