9:15 pm - frazzle dazzle!
|
i can say i'm doing this for fun til i'm blue in the face. stage managing a show, any show, comes with its share of little stresses.
first of all, i got picked up by a second fringe show, so, just like old times, i've got a full charge for the next 10 days. yippee!
and the shows could not be..any more different one from the other. i feel like i'm going to end up slightly bipolar by the end of the month.
also, one show is disproportionately more technically complex than the other. which means i'll shit with that one and get lazy with the other. haha. awesome. come see them both and guess which one!
aaaanyway. gripe gripe. i'm really just excited for the atmosphere and people and fun. when i'm not shitting, that is.
shameless plug: but seriously, COME SEE THEM!
Trashcan Duet - Piecemeal Performance Company/three black ring
See Bob Run - Chesterfield Productions
if you're a super-duper pal, come and see the shows at the awkward times (matinees and late afternoons) if you can..bums in seats, people.

9:44 pm - what does it mean when my main complaint is that "he isn't dirty enough?"
|
..trying to find good pictures of wolverine. i realized that he's too effing clean in origins; logan's supposed to look grimy, like he smells like beer and cigars. he's flipping pristine in the new movie.
which was garbage, by the way. such a disappointment after the amazing x-men franchise. but it did have jackman bum in it, so how much can i really complain..
anyway, the point of this entry was to say that I'M DONE..sort of. i need to build my corset and pants, but i have no more classes, and all, count it, all my other coursework is handed in. good flipping riddance.
i..don't know what to do with myself, so i'm erasing shitty wolverine from my memory by rewatching x3 and painting my nails.

which is not limited to:
-building a shirt, corset, and pants (all due 5/29)
-writing my science fiction paper (due 5/20)
-writing my anthropology paper/presentation (due 5/19)
-attending mayfest (5/8)

spinnerette. great stuff.
we just got back from roller skating. turns out it's wicked-popular in mississauga (who the hell knew) and there were some hardcore awesome skaters. then there was my group of friends haha.
seriously though, walking into that place was like walking into a different dimension. such a bizarre collection of people! people-watching over disgusting nachos was the best damn part.
but i want to go back. sooo..
i think i finally have my stupid anthropology essay pegged, now she just need a-writin'. dear all-day sunday: fuck.
..which would be okay if i didn't have so many other things to do. i hate school.
at least osap's giving me more money to make me feel better about the strike? gee whiz, i love steeper debt! sigh. too bad i need it.
i can't believe it's april. holy shit.

just watched bill maher's religulous, and goddamn i just want to watch it again.
is it the yellow jeep effect, or am i noticing more and more atheists getting serious attention? i like that atheism, skepticism and doubt aren't such fringe things anymore. it's awesome.
best scene: bill maher smoking pot in amsterdam. LOVE this guy.

12:30 am - la petite mort..
|
so i'm writing my sci fi essay on repo. GOLD. i am the bullshit queen. in terms of iconography, i'm defending the film's place in the genre by likening the image of the scalpel to the classic spaceship.
oh i wonder what freud would say..
anyway, yeah. bs queen.
today in practicum we finally buried my show and did post-mortem. i hate those things. always so bloody awkward. especially since it was a lot of either resolved issues that people just wanted to bitch about, or just plain nonsense that had no place being discussed for that amount of time. ugh. i was so uncomfortable being the focal point of all that.
but it means i'm done. finished. the show is dead and gone. now all i need to do is have a couple of wrap-up meetings, but those aren't really work so much as just feedback. YES.
annnd classwork. so much of it, but i have so much time now.
awesome. shit's good.

3:09 pm - Concerto No.4 in F minor 'L'inverno' - I - Allegro non molto
|
partly thanks to this piece by milk, i can't stop listening to vivaldi's four seasons. particularly the winter concerti. i'll switch to the spring concerti when i feel the weather matches the music, cause right now, the music's a little too optimistic for what's outside my window. ugh.
also, nigel kennedy is to the violin what jimmy hendrix is to the guitar: rock. star.
and i have all this schoolwork to do, but really, i just want to draw. and eat. and sleep. such novelties.
crew is officially over for me. on wednesday we're doing the post-mortem, then that's it. it's really exciting. but readjusting to life has been a challenge. i'm sleeping horribly and my eating pattern's all out of whack. but at least i'm going to class. i'm going to finish this and finish it well.
i really miss going out though. since february, i think i've left the square kilometre of my apartment and school three times. max. GET ME OUT.
march is such a weird month. i can't wait for it to be over.
( also: )

11:48 pm - who's gonna pay attention to your dreams..?

re last post: i was and still am feeling extremely wiped, but relieved. i feel fucking dead.
life's funny that way.
some awesome things:
+my new sci fi film course. the lecturer is basically comic book guy who mumbles and makes awkward jokes. and the class is full of "ridiculous film students", but my friend and i are taking it together, so at least i can laugh with someone. in a few weeks we get to watch robocop and dark city. sooo awesome.
+on a related note, Repo! The Genetic Opera is also pretty cool. it's so painful at first watch though haha. i wanted to turn it off, but it was like a car wreck. well, i've decided that i like this particular car wreck. so i'm writing my essay on it for my sf film class. (this friday the shadow cast tour is coming to the bloor. i'm still debating if i'm a big enough nerd to attend.)
(pure awesome here.)
+milk. god i love her art. so fucking inspiring.
+thanks to facestalking (ee..sorry nathalie), copy cats tumblelog. so much gold on here, including an amazing cover of The Cars' Drive by Deftones and Peter Gabriel's Solsbury Hill by Kyte. so so so amazing. it's been a great couple weeks for music.
+my convocation date is set, my course audit went through, i'm done my practicum assignment. i'm in the homestretch, kiddos.
i'm all..upside-down.

10:45 am - winter's breaking, and this should be better..
|
slowly but surely. how'd we go from spring to hell? it looks so miserable out.
anyway, this week's been insane. long long long days have been invested (tuesday to sunday, i put in about 55 hours. how the fuck am i only getting six credits for this shit?!), but tech week's over, tonight's second preview, it's show week, which means i just have to kind of be around for the next week. then strike week. the LIBERTY.
it's a good show. the more i see it the more i like it (it's pretty dense material, so the storytelling is a challenge). either way, i'm proud of it.
yesterday i had a small meltdown. the world didn't end, i was just exhausted beyond belief. but soon i'll have made it through this show having only cried once (production manager record? and it was at home, not even at the office), and with a kickass show and closing party. this'll all pan out just fine.
today though i feel like a massive bag of hammers. everything hurts. i think this is as good a day as any for some tea, baths and naps.
i survived, guys!
EDIT: billy wolves finally posted that song in the chase/apnea supercult promo video, "end of part 3". i fucking love it. and the one called "the lesson". listen!
