seems everything is falling apart around me and there is nothing I can do to hold back the wave of chaos. It has flooded the streets and overflowing from the stormdrains. It's lapping the foundations of the houses and sweeping out the bridges. There isnt a tree high enough with roots deep enough to withstand this onslaught.
here's hoping I dont drown.

So after working at the rental house for a few hours last night, I remembered something that I learned the summer after I graduated from college; I hate working at rental houses. I'll stay there as long as I have to, but I will be diligently searching for something a bit more rewarding. Coiling cable and loading trucks is all well and good, and a...

Thankfully that show is over. Now it's on to freelancing for the summer. Just hope I can scrounge up enough work to keep myself out of the poor house. It will certainly be a summer of new experiences and I have a distinct feeling that there is going to be a very sharp learning curve on a great deal of what I will be doing....

We had the run the show twice last night with me in the booth the second time giving the GO to the board op. The most amusing part is that...

It is the Student Choreography...

I've also recently begun to detest the extrapolations that it derives from a total absence of information. Then the paranoia kicks in and I just start to worry and fret. From there it degrades rapidly into a full on near panic. It's usually at this point that I...

Don't particularly have a reason for an update, but nonetheless, update I shall. I'll most likely revisit this later when I have something profound to say, but for the interim...I'm just posting for the sake of it. It's been strange these last few nights not hearing her voice, falling asleep to the sounds of her breathing. My thoughts drift back to her endlessly. Hoping and...

I had an amazing weekend.(this is an understatement)
big thanks to the nice folks of SGBoston.

so the day after tomorrow.
yeah.

Long night last night at the shop ful of joyful programming. but, I got the entire production Q'ed in about 5 hours, so that means for the next two days the Dance Concert can get my full attention. I need still need to move all the drapes, split the legs and borders and shift my booms onstage. not to mention all my backlight needs to...
