(no subject)
Infrequent posts. I remember when I had time to post every evening, including such light hearted things as "conan reports" and "Akie-libs". Further reminders of how much of a dumbass I am.
Really, I can sit and behave, focused and professional. Swaying in a conversation and in the right circumstances memorable and unique.
But most of the time, the times when I am surrounded by people who just confound me. Students who make no attempt to move forward in their lives. Professors who are done sharing their knowledge and positive influence on students. And the classes...Oooohg the classes.
A week ago, I got the green light to graduate. Yessir, it seems that I might just pull it off. Now senioritis has hit bad, now with more providence!
It had been a slow burn for some time. The same bullshit day after day. Professors requiring assignments such as "Include proper scale. Remove that piece of equipment from the theatre floor plan." But then receiving in shop, from the same professor, a floorplan that is not to scale, and includes the very same piece of equipment that is no longer there. Double standards suck fetid uni-anus. Sorry, Tug. You just messaged me while I was writing.
So classes are the same as always, moving on to other things.
Had been playing bass for another show, mostly for fun, and to support longtime friends and the community in which I grew up. It was alot of fun, all things considered. A group of very fun people to hang out with, and people who have had an influence on who I am, even though I returned a rather different person than the last time I worked with many of them. Learned a sleu of "little Johnny" jokes just in time to offend at MFF, too...Though i don't think I ever told an especially offensive joke at a con before.
And that tkaes me to, Cinematic Titanic!
So a couple of weeks ago I left work, drove up to Minneapolis, and spent a few days with an oryx hoofing it around Minneapolis, St. Paul, with the explicit intention of going to see a collection of the MST3K crew do their new (and live) version of movie mayhem. It was an impressive amount of fun, not only watching and listening to them do their stuff (which they did very well. Heh, "That must be the name of her sled") and the movie selected, Blood of the Vampires. was especially bad, and offensive. Nothing quite like a 1960s Phillipino (Ibulong Mo So Hangin) film set in 19th century Mexico, with everyone in bonze and black face...What else is there to say? While Up around the area of Minneapolis, met up with the old roommate who spent some time giving a tour of the town in the afternoon before C.T., and afterwards at a Polish Night Club. A good weekend of visiting!
Since then, it has been productions, classwork, work, and everything else inbetween. This weekend however, brings another round of MFF, this year without the interruption of casting and stage management duties. Thank GOD. Still have to leave Sunday afternoon, though. Look forward to seeing peeps there. Iffen you see me, don't be afraid to say hello (even though I do look scary).
And that is about it. I am sure I am forgetting things. Always do.
