I'm Nuts!

Seriously.

I told Ananda I'd do lights for her over Thanksgiving.

Argh. The only thing I worry about is missing some other social function over the weekends or something. I'm hoping to get Collin on board so we could split it or something... David Carlisle said something about another Thanksgiving concert when Annie comes home, and I'd really love to see that. Since most of our improv troupe is in the play anyway, it won't really be taking away from that - I don't have SELP that week, and it's before Artwalk.

So yeah.

It should prolly work. oi. I sold my soul to the theater goddess long ago, and I haven't had to pay any dues lately.

Had some flustery moments in the light booth tonight. Poor Nandi. Even I f#@%ed up! Turned on the friggin house lights while people were still on stage. Me trying to be useful. Lovely. It was a bit mind twisting to see a lot of the same costumes up on stage there. bizzare really. And a lot of the same blocking too. very weird. But they did a great job, lots of fun. David Murphy was fabulous, I think he stole a lot of stuff from Kent, but put his own fluid twist on it. Plus added a lot of Looney Tunes stuff. pretty funny. Kevin dyed his hair black! I guess that's easier than gunking up your hair every week. And I really don't think Eli had that long wig that Geoffrey has. That kinda weirded me out, but yeah... And Geoff was adorable, but you just can't compete with Eli's voice... The other thing is with the white faces and extreme make-up it was hard to see the people for their own faces, and easy to blur the lines of old and new... Kevin is so crisp and professional - but not stiff. He just stood out as someone who knew what he was doing and moved with intention. The set was a little funky to me too. I think I would have liked it as paper for a card or notebook or a present, but as a whole backdrop it was kind of intense, sort of olive green and pink? And Katisha got to have this KICKASS new kimono, but Yum-yum didn't? hrm. There's my slapdash review! :P

My room is freaking me out. It's so gross. Well, it's not like stuff is growing in there, but just a lot of clothes and papers and projects have all crept out onto the floor, and the bed is a wreck too. What happened to the at least make my bed rule? Might be time to re-instate it....

Sandy wrote me another crazy letter. About how "Your Major + a Masters in Library Science = a great career!" something like that. Since I love reading it's a perfect match for me right? Oh god... I guess she's trying to be helpful, but ay yi yi. the last thing I want to do is fill my head with the info it takes to be a librarian. Ok. not the last. actually probably far from the last. but not up near the top. ack. I get a little scared sometimes that I'll forget what IS at the top, and end up where I am, same deal in 4 or 5 years, but in my own house with kids or something. Which wouldn't be the end of the world. but what about dreams? None of them seem real or reachable right now.. Do I actually want to act? How can I do music if I never practice? Is Fairfield big enough? is everywhere else too big? Jenna performed at Hancher in the UofI Dance Gala. That's pretty cool. I didn't really think much of it at the time, but the more I think about it, the more it's actually quite something! Not like it's the only stage in town, they have plenty of student stages... And people go see it, even if they don't know anyone. She looks so great. That's what you get from being a dance major and working in a gym! Yikes. and me with all my computer jobs. How come these blogs don't have smilies? I need a crying one.....

(huh? "blogs" wasn't in the spell checker!)

one more rant: How come people didn't use my webform!!??!! I go to all the trouble of making it easy for you and then what? grrrrrrrrrrrr. they must be trained.
