Update!
We had 3 hours for tech time yesterday.
15 min set-up
1.5 hours light levels
1 hour cue-to-cue
15 min strike
I rock.
Somewhere in there we squeezed in makeup as well.
We rock.
The lights look good, considering it's the Fringe. I wasn't super happy with the general plot, but then, I think my standards are set a bit high.
Just a bit...

happy Canada Day.


Last night the actors discussed their feelings (an extension of the misunderstanding of Stanislavsky they call acting). Personally, I think much more would have been accomplished if they just yelled and brought everything into the open. The I-can-only-speak-for-myself, pass-the-talking-stick garbage doesn't work for me. Nothing was resolved.
Before the talk, the director and I listed the people we would work with again, simply for their...

"the husband is the owner of horizontal love"?
I think the good Rev. Moon suffers from a lack of imagination. Maybe I'm taking him a little too literally.

Hahahaha. Modesty is for losers.
Also, the thing about the government is that they rarely give you any money you haven't already actually earned.
Bastards.

So, kids, I got offered a job designing A Clockwork Orange. How cool would that be? I've actually never had a chance to design something that wasn't in period costume. And this is the theatre's biggest show to date, so it may give me the opportunity to design from scratch--with people who will cut and sew for...

I was going to tell you about my secret life as a house painter, but I just don't think you can handle it now.

I'm dead tired, but it all just keeps coming.
I was looking forward to coming home,
reading a little about Jacques Lecoq,
then falling asleep promptly.
No such luck.
I promise I'll be more interesting as soon as I get some sleep.

obd:
my thoughts exactly. I hope the weekend helped.
I don't know about Siv and thehedgehog, but I'm sick. I think Dogslife is too.
At least we all avoided pink eye.
Dogslife and I had a dinner/dessert date with photogrrl on Sunday. She is lovely.
They FINALLY replaced my knocking struts; I've been complaining about them since I first got the car. They almost replaced them last year, but then some (my new...

I call it my Four-Horned-Goat-of-the-Apocalypse look.
Overheard coming out of the movie theatre after seeing Troy:
"It was good action-wise, but I kind of saw the end coming."
No word of a lie.

"Now, if you order your books from Amazon.com, and you don't want to wait, you can head into Boarder's and pick them up whenever you want... provided, of course, that they're in stock."
Fox News. No lie.

If one more person asks me if the floors are being repainted this weekend, and whether that means they have to leave by 4 pm today, I'll bust something.
Oy. I'm going to be a busy Ms. Bunnypoo this weekend.

Those glasses are killer! All the boys be wantin' to hump you.
After introducing the guests to Nestle chocolate bars, Smarties, strawberry pierogi, and the wonderful city of Toronto (and the surrounding suburbs), Siv and thehedgehog leave today. I'm going to miss them. Never have I felt so comfortable so quickly with a pair of people. Look for the saga of the last 4 days in their journals. I'm sure there will be many green and red...

hey there. I'm scrolling through all sorts of messages and then by chance i read "theatre designer". no way! me too. cool cool. and you've been hosting some out of towners. I'd say fer sher that "Tranna" is a southern thing, far preferable to it being called the T-dat. Makes it fun. Like a guessing game or if we play real dumb maybe it'll turn into charades... what DO they mean when they speak in those "outrageous" accents?
i'm just kidding...cause really I love accents.

set and costume mostly, but also choreography. I've done some lighting design but costumes are my fave.
Happy Name Day to meeee! I completely forgot until my mom called me with best wishes, etc, and a promise to buy me Sex and the City. Well, happy day for me!
