I really do not update this thing anymore, I'm too lazy for blogging, I suppose, though I have debated opening up a sports blog to rant about the bears, but I'll be far too lazy to do that, also. Apathy!
In other news, two shows I'm involved with down, and the third is beginning week two, so it'll be over on Sunday. Balm in Gilead was a good show, but I"m glad I wasn't more involved, that shit was crazy. Maiden's Prayer was a good experience. Granted, the set and lighting design I did was really simple, and two fellow students who've done lighting things in the department were criticizing that until they saw me walk by them, but whatever. It was still a good show, and my family was proud of me, so I don't really care. Dear Ruth, the show I'm stage managing is going kinda well so far. Opening night, my light-board operator kinda blacked out the stage. Oops! Saturday went perfect, though, so I choose to consider opening night as another practice. Besides, the audience on Friday kinda sucked, so they weren't laughing, anyhow. When the show strikes, I'll hopefully be able to re-solidify the UIC pHarm team, with any luck, so we'll be able to start off good again. Schedules should be freeing up, so we'll see what happens.
Also, I'm a coward. There's this girl I kinda want to ask out, but I'm pretty afraid to. Cause if she says no, or isn't interested, It'll make things awkward, cause we both work in the box office together. Grarg. I hate being nervous and weak-willed.
And what's with this weight gain? Seriously, 195 lbs? I should probably start working out before my arteries completely clog.I Feel:  weird Listening To: Inside My Head ~Radiohead |

So, I might no longer be employed, but I managed to grab a lot to put on my plate. Mmm... plate of food... Zam hungy.
Anyhow, what I mean to say is that I've really filled my schedule up here in the theatre this semester, and I actually couldn't be happier about it. I'm gonna be involved in enough things that my name should really get spread around this place this year, and I'm glad. I want to be one of those goto guys here that people go to first when they need production help. Granted, I've got just about no clue what I'm doing, so, um, yay adventure?
Here's what I've got goings ons:
Red Light School District - UIC's improv group that I play with on Mondays, and who I could have another show coming up with soon.
UIC's pHarm team (Name TBD) - Just getting it off the ground, our first meeting's Sunday night, and I'm really excited. Yay Brad Norman!
Balm of Gilead - Our first main-stage show this semester, and I'm going to be the house manager for the full run, and doing set construction besides that.
The Maiden's Prayer - Student directed and run production in our studio theatre, which we're starting to work on now, and will run during rehearsals of both shows. I'm the Master Electrician, the Lighting Designer, doing a little set design and construction, running the light board for the shows, and whatever else I figure I can/have to do.
Dear Ruth - Our other main-stage production this semester, and I'm the Stage Manager, plus I'll probably be doing some set construction.
The upside of no job is that I'm finally able to dedicate my time to the theatre to a degree like this. I like where I'm at right now. People in the department know my name, and for good things. My name gets dropped left and right by our events director as the improv, A / V, tech, graphic designer, and architectural guy, though I don't understand why for most of that stuff. Meh. All I know is that I think I've finally found my place in college, and I'm really happy about it..I Feel:  busy Listening To: Dude ~Your Little Ponies |

I've had a good couple weeks. My birthday went pretty good, next day got drunk with Burdulis, Miramontes, and my dad (stupid pony keg). Went up on a Kai-Roast with Da Brotherhod on Friday, got drunk Friday night, cooked kick-ass steaks on Saturday, came home Sunday. Went out to a couple bars near my house with Tim Lewandowski on Thursday, met up with Rob and one of his buddies. Good times all around.
Trying to set some hangouts with a couple girls this week, including getting set up with a couple girls Tim knows.
let's see how this turns out.I Feel:  cheerful Listening To: Cobrastyle ~Teddybears |

Fill glass with ice.
Add 2 cap-fulls of Strawberry Schnapps.
Add 4-6 cap-fulls of Midori Melon Liqueur
Fill rest of glass with the French sparkling orange juice, Orangina.
Result: Something very tasty my dad concocted for me last night.
Don't think I'm too far away from officially bringing a pHarm team to UIC, just gotta meet with Jason and Brad.
Oh, and get more than like 5 people to have interest.
Hopefully going to the UIC Improv group meeting today'll change that.I Feel: productive Listening To: Creepy Crawler ~Zombie Girl |

I swear to any one of the many versions of the God that I don't believe in, if one tiny little thing goes wrong tomorrow, I'm quitting my job. This shit of me getting yelled at for everybody else's incompetence and mistakes by the fucking customers has got to stop. My boss needs to stop making exceptions to her own fucking rules and learn how to run her fucking shit.
Anybody know of places that're hiring?I Feel:  pissed off to high hell Listening To: Liar ~KoRn |

I feel odd- an uneasy sort of complacency which coincides with a sense of things not being the way they should, but yet everything is somehow working out in they way it's supposed to. It's a feeling of being present in time with how the world is unfolding, all the while slowly threading in-between the past and future simultaneously, yet somehow differentiating the flow from the subconscious and unconscious through perception. Is it my lack of sleep, currently almost 36 hours having passed since last I did, or is it the events of yesterday, and this is just the way my collective conscious is working through the concept of not being in a relationship anymore? Is this the way my inner-self is handling things, with the sharp perception of a hawk, yet somehow perceiving everything in a sped-up slow-motion where detection is at a near impossibility?

So, uh, some of you may or may not remember how I said my mom was having a biopsy last week.
We just found out she's in the early stages of breast cancer.
We're pretty sure everything bad can be removed, because of how early it is, but still.
So yea...... um, this is going to be hard. |
