jesus christmas...it's gross out.
i took a little 2 day sabbatical from the computer, as it tends to slooooooow down a great deal in the heat.
i flaked on a production meeting tonight. i feel so stupid. apparently i didn't save it in my phone calendar, which i ALWAYS do. so the director called me in a panic at 630, and i was sitting here, looking at boobies. stupid stupid stupid. i haven't even smoked in a few days, my memory shouldn't be failing me like that! and the best part is, i've been working on this stupid show like crazy.see below...
one of my actors, the one playing the prostitute, is muslim. not head to toe veil conservative, but she isn't really down with showing lots of skin. and i respect that, i see it as a challenge, like how can i get around this and still make her costume believable? i won't spoil the surprise yet, as it could very well change completely before opening night. but i will say that i've been looking all over kingdom come for a kimono wrap top, and couldn't find the right one. so i hit the fabric district and bought some fabric and am making one. i'm all stressed about it though b/c i'm afraid that it's too sheer (it's this gorgeous lavender silk chiffon), and i'm afraid that the collar and cuffs (chinese silk brocade) are way too heavy for it. i could've flatlined the chiffon (sewed another piece of fabric to it so that it appears to be one piece), but i liked that it was sheer! i'm also worried that the color scheme won't work with the rest of her costume, and that the actor won't be comfortable in it. and my budget is shot, so i can't really afford to go out and buy something else, something that i invariably won't be happy with.
gah. this is why i don't design much anymore. i'm too picky to design anything less than broadway, and since that obviously is never going to happen, i can't deal with the stress i create for myself. it's much more relaxing to sew beautiful costumes than to design them.
ANYHOO, i'm sure you're all bored and or confused by now. still no word on my set. i have a dentist appt next week for the first time since high school, i'm going to warped tour sunday, my car needs work, i'm out of underwear cause i haven't done laundry in a minth, and it's too hot to wear my as of yet unbroken in boots. or do much else for that matter. last night we watched king kong, and it was boring and gross. and i'm reareading the harry potter series for the fourth time. i lead an exciting life, folks.
i'm not meant to live in this heat!
my brain is slowing to a halt.
i hope yr all well and forgive my lapse in comments and pictures.

Ha ha! Don't you hate it when you're supposed to be working and you get caught looking at boobies but the worst part is, you forgot you were supposed to be working at all in the first place? It's been happening a bit much to me too. And every time I go to my home page, a big tin full of buds is looking me in the face with your screenname underneath. I think it's time for me to cut down a bit, though; I've not been terribly productive recently.
Dude, I totally sympatize with you - the creative process is painful sometimes. My tendencies towards self-mutilation have to be kept in check as much as possible at all times. I know there is the perfect note to follow something or another and I'm just too fucking daft to see it! It's amazing I ever finish anything.
