Well it's been awhile. Again. It's funny, I read everyone's journals everyday but I don't update mine for months. Anyway...
I've got the most adorable dog in the world. I got a chug...his name is Euripides. He doesn't like people much...well, new people. He's very protective of me. It's cute. I needed something to make me smile.
I don't know why, but I've just been frustrated with everything lately. Work is stressing me out. I finally get entrenched in Blue Horizons and fixing all the paperwork there that needs to change...a huge project...and now they're thinking of moving me again to a different show. I'm pissed about it but I find it funny, that they ask my Blue Horizons partner what he thinks about the decision, but they don't ask me. WTF. Oh well...further supports the fact that I am using this place for money and I will be out of here soon.
I've found art again! I started painting the other day and drawing real people. I drew myself and I must say...it's pretty damn good. I'm very happy about that.
I've also found a theatre for me. Osceola Center for the Arts. It reminds me of Stover sooo much. I went there yesterday to volunteer and I played the meek and timid newbie for awhile...we were airbrushing backdrops and I painted a piano..and then we started moving around softgoods. I kinda took over...oops. But a couple of them didn't know how to fold a drape and then they didn't know that tying off the drape will go faster if you do every other tie with someone behind you. And the TD and the set designer kept going to battle because the set designer is crazy and stressed out and doesn't understand what's going on around her. Their fly system is a sandbag counterweight system though! It's adorable! And it's changing...because the TD just got a 2 MILLION dollar grant...they have a brand new 52 channel sound board and 40 microphones, brand new lighting board (better than ETC and Hog iPC), 12 new moving lights, 3 LED color changer cyc lights, brand new seating...it's just awesome. The sandbag system is going to be converted to motorized rigging too. Woo! I love it. So yeah...I don't have to Stage Manage there...but I'm going to volunteer all the time in the shop. I'm excited. :)
