Tech Ninjas Unite!

Today, I believe, is the first day of a several-week building period, at the end of which I will explode. Not that it's a bad thing, it's just going to be very busy with the play and all, and I'll have to buckle down and be diligent with my work and painting.

Working a road show today. I love doing this, perhaps it's just me, but waking up at 7 in the morning to load in a show is good times for me. Depleting my body of all of its energy stores in order to construct a set which will only be torn down at the end of the night is somehow pleasant to me.

I love working them, though, partially because the people are always good to work with. They're always friendly and patient, because if it's your job to load in a show every day with a different group of people which you have to explain what to do over and over and over again, you have to be patient and friendly by default. They always end up being slightly loopy, too, which is just more fun. Working on electrics is my favorite, and believe it or not, I haven't had to use my crescent wrench *once* today.

I also visited Tony II (of England adventure fame) to bid him farewell. We discussed the interesting quirks of the States and his overall experience. I will miss him very much, but I'm sure I'll see him again. As long as I make a point to write it down ^_^

Well, off to be studious, and rest up for load out tonight.

Mariah is a wise wise girl, and I couldn't help thinking about people I know and love when I read this little blurb by her (note, the second entry of the day). If anything, it's something I'll definately look upon frequently when I start playing the relationship game, because I know I'll have the potential to fall right into that trap...

Chopin-Matisse

This is Choppi, which is short for Chopin-Matisse Flora-Brown. D Flo and I found her outside the dining hall, and named it for our respective majors. She's a good little kitty, though terribly frail. Though we love her dearly, as responsible parents, we are letting my brother and sister-in-law adopt her (as the drunken debauchery of college life is no place for a growing kitten). It works out nicely, since my brother is a music person, and sister-in-law is an art person, the name still fits ^_^

A family portrait, as Choppi crushes my face.

Revelation!

I've figured it out! After some careful insights, I've discovered why there's so much drama going on this year than past years. Because this year I'm hanging out with frickin DRAMA people! DUUUUUUUUUUHH!! I mean last year, who did I hang out with? Chemists and physicists. Drama there? Nooooo. Freshman year? I hung out with political sorts. Drama there, but a different sort of drama than Drama drama, which is dramatic in an entirely different way.

Anyway, here's a comic series I'm keeping for myself, containing my biting social commentary about my social circle(which is about as biting as a toothless bunny). Commentary or no, we all make damn cute kittens.

Dawww

Since I am only in my room at sparse, 15 minute intervals throughout the waking hours of the day, I rarely receive visitors. So it's nice to have Jen Wolford as a hallmate, who frequently leaves me friendly messages on the whiteboard on my door:

"Lisa likes to chase the hamsters...
and snuggle with them...
and play with them..
and give them a false sense of security...
and then
BAMB!
she makes little hamster gloves.

You are a sick person, Lisa."

My response is usually to draw a picture on her board, in this case, a smiling stick figure with dead hamsters on her hands ^_^ ::adds "BAMB" to her repetoire of sound effects::

Oh Wheeeeeeeeere is my Hairbrush?

I have misplaced my hairbrush, and thus have not brushed my hair in three days. Things are getting out of control.

In other news, today there was a large, inflato-bouncy slide erected on the lawn in front of our dining hall. It was significantly large, inflated, and bouncy (not to mention great fun). I think more colleges need large, inflato-bouncy slides on campus. If there were a permanent inflato-bouncy slide on campus, I believe student morale would skyrocket.

No word yet on the reason behind the presence of the structure, but who needs a reason! Too bad it was just for today.
