Mid-tech

It is mid tech week and I heard one of the most beautiful things you can hear during tech. "you might have tomorrow night off" :-0 Now I doubt this true but still it is pretty exciting and even if I don't have off I might only have to come in for an hour or so. Happy dance! I am going to take pictures tomorrow of the lovely set tomorrow and hopefully be able to post them in the interwebie. Been having a blast painting it and the Set Designer is crazy fun. (not to say I have meet a sane Set Designer, maybe that is why I like working with them) Anywho! I am going in for an hour painting like mad, then maybe going in for an hour at night if they have anything that needs to be done to the floor. I am also looking forward to cooking muffins and reading all morning! Tis crazy I only worked till 3 tonight and that was mostly because I couldn't start until after 11pm, and I will probably only work 3 hours tomorrow plus drive time to pick up some paint. The excitement of kind of sorting having the day off! Too we are going to have internet at our apartment soon, which is very exciting. I also just mail a B-day present which the receiver must call/e-mail after she has fully explored it (said person -you will understand this better when you receive it,) Ah life is good, which was an improvement from being in a mean mood due to a breaking benjamin's song, it wasn't the song really but it made me go into a guys are stupid angry that was not really direcrted at anyone. weird but now life is good and I am going to bed before the sunrises!

Happy Birthday Rachel!!

5:16am

So it is 5:16 in the morning and I just got home, this is freaking weird. I kind of want breakfast and am wondering if I should go to bed or make some eggs and pancakes. I have whipped cream and raspberry syrup. It would be a good breakfast. Though I should probably get some sleep so I am not crazy insane tomorrow. I feel like I would just hug everyone right now, I don't know if they put something funny in the mountain due or if it is the Thai ice tea that I drank but I feel giving out random hugs. Of course everyone is asleep and that is probably a good thing for we start tech on monday! Tomorrow all the designers come in. I am freaking out because I couldn't get a hold of my designer so some things I just had to guess on. oh well, we have a week to turn the mistakes around. Sleepy yet not, going to listen to music, addicted to In the Sun as in listen to it at least five times a day. I can't remember when I was that addicted to a song. mmm I should post lyrics maybe tomorrow spelling is going down the drain time for bed!!!

Normal Hours

I have been working somewhat normal hours, which I find very very weird. And of course by normal I mean going in for 8 hours a day not 9-6. Still going in at 1pm or 4pm and only staying 8 hours is pretty weird. The nice part is that I am getting to know the area. Found a good coffee place, looking into volunteering at the hospital and if I actually get a monday night off I might go take pictures at the skateboard park when they have BMX bike practice. Today I am going to go to the post office and mail a few things out, then see if I can apply for a library card. (Free books! happy dance) Which will be very good because I just finished the one I was reading. Other then that, and the scrubs marathon interjected with a firefly episode every now and then, my life has been filled with little explorations. Last week we meet our neighbors down stairs, two very nice guys. They said once the raining season ends it is beautiful here, and to be quite honest the raining season has not been that bad, basically about 4:30 it rains everyday for an hour, maybe a little bit more at night. Granted it is a huge downpour that you can barely see through but nothing too scary. Though I did have to drive Julia (my roommate) to her car one morning because rain was up to the crack in her door. Eh. I got to make Biscotti, mmmm so good and made the dough for gnocci but haven't made them yet. I ordered two books about paint faux finishes and they are pretty awesome. Some stuff I knew, some I didn't and some really won't work for theatre but can be adapted. It is exciting. Almost as exciting as creating a superlogo for Dave's Dog Henry! (Yes I did say superlogo and it maybe be yellow and will be put on a red water proof cape). The set is currently being put together on stage today and I get to play will it all night. Yippie! I might even have the weekend off which would be cool because I need to take random pictures of cows. Why you say. Well if you look up the lyrics to Cows with Guns, you will note the very strong urge to make a music video to this song. hehe cows with guns and really bad puns.

interweb and coffee

mwhwhwhwa I have internet. Well no but I am at a coffee place that has free interweb. hhehehehehe oh the joys. Though my flickr account is still full so I can't post any pictures grrrr. After I get home and check the whole budget issue I am going to see if I can afford to just buy the extended version. hehehe

Finding internet

When you move from one location to another you expect to find some things that are different but one thing I didn't count on was the fact that there is not zillion places to sit down and use free wireless internet. Being the fact that we are probably not going to get internet for a couple of weeks yet I thought I would spend my morning off trying to find internet. Well I gave up rather quickly and just buckled to buying it at the local McDonalds. However, now I can have found a couple of nicer places to use the internet which means I might be packging lunches so I can go out to these places a couple of times a week. Hmm having a wonderful time exploring the area and can't wait to go out and try all the thai/ sushi places. Also found a couple of awesome food stores. Plus have a new addiction called scrubs. mm it is very very bad. Miss people to talk to but hopefully with the phone now fixed I will be calling people more!

My apartment!

Last night I spent in my apartment! It is so pretty and there is a playground outside. I have yet to explore the grounds, planing on doing that today or tomorrow. I never expected to have so much stuff in the apartment. The company manager (Z.) said when he was unloadiing the tralier he got kind of carried away so we might have more stuff then we actually need. Sweetness. There will be three people staying in the apartment. Though one has their own bathroom, so I only have to share the bathroom with one other person (instead othe 7 at the convent.) yippie!

The madness of driving

We have internet! so here is a blog I typed on the drive, will post pictures of apartment soon!

Insomnia, usually somewhat of a pest actually turned out to be pretty useful when driving through Georgia in the middle of the night. My Dad was tired so I got behind the wheel after taking a two-hour nap. Now Georgia might be a very beautiful state but at night it all looks the same. Though sometimes when you are coming into a large city the lights reflect on the clouds like the dawn and you have to double-check the time. Also many of you may not be aware that in Georgia there is a county called Butts. Yes, Butts and you would be right in assuming that I started laughing when I saw this. Then I started laughing again at the fact that I am so childish to laugh at the word Butt. Then I started to bring up all kind of questions. Were the people of Butts ashamed of their county’s name; was it the Butt of all jokes? Do newscaster giggle when they announce a storm heading to Butts county? Or maybe the people of Butts are extremely mellow and roll with the punches, so even when asked is that one T or two they would proudly state with a hand on the hip two T’s because we are terrific! So many questions, it makes me wonder if I could even have the strength of being to live in Butts County. That is not the only thing I notice on the road, there also seems to be a lot of Waffle House restaurants. Seriously in Georgia there was one at every food exit. I believe it is some sort of conspiracy to take over Georgia. Think about it if they control all the exits they would just need to block them and then when the National Guard comes in they wouldn’t be able to get off until they were out of the state. Perhaps this is the lack of sufficient sleep talking but I like to believe otherwise.
