It's a wrap for me! 2023 was good to me. in terms of experiences and opportunities that came my way, but now its time for some rest and relaxation. I'm taking the rest of the year off, from EVERYTHING...day job, passion projects included. I set goals at the beginning of the year, on reviewing them, I accomplished several, but if it's not done now, it's not gonna get done in the last 2 1/2 weeks of the year. I could sprint for the finish line and fall over, it, exhausted, or I can step back and learn lessons from the 12 months that I worked towards these goals. I'm choosing the latter. I am going to slow down to refocus so that I can step into 2024 properly paced. Taking a break may seem counterintuitive to some, but it's not a sign of weakness, it's an act of self care. I'm a writer. I'm a coach, and I am an UX Research Leader. Creativity fuels my work, but when constantly on the go, the wellspring of inspiration can run dry. Or you just get tired.

and, sadly, jordin is the only choice. she's got a different look. she can play hispanic, black, not too black, or just hard to place anywhere. they will work her out vigourously so she will look smaller on screen and erase the very cute baby fat so she is more holly-woodable.
the girl can sing well, but that is just gravy on top of the package. she's very young, so they can sell her to young folks (i think melynda is a bit of a harder sell to the young folks).
blake is cool, but he will be the next pharrell or chad hugo and make money making music, not singing it. melynda will get a great contract and outsell everyone and jordin will be a star.
funny how dreamgirls finds a way to reapeat itself.
just my $.02
