    schools back in

    im almost thrilled to be back but at the same time i'm really tired. actf was exhausting, and now i have no will to live. this semester is also full of the things that aren't my strong suits, but my assignments for shows arent bad. i just want another week to veg out.

    in the meantime sam and all the london kids are back so thats a plus, and meal plan means ill be eating regularly, so ill quit my bitching.

    this guy came to my show last night
    http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0823563/
    he was mad chill

    among other things he was:
    the hitman with heartburn from dumb and dumber
    the guy who wasnt phil stubbs from the bowling alley in Ed

    we made fun of the director together

    im tired
    so people who read this remember that time in highschool when i yelled at the manager of the movie theater for like an hour wearing the plastic hat? i've perfected that practice this semester.
    for my school, each of the design tech kids is supposed to get two assignments, thats like design lights or stage manage or paint this crap.

    i was given four.

    im currently stage managing for the last blackbox of the semester, farced in a box. there wasn't a scenic designer put on that show (for whatever reason) so it fell on me to do both. farce as a genre is known for its use of props and scenic elements more than any other aspect.
    they realize that i've been designing and sm-ing at the same time AFTER i finished the designs, and hand off the design work to this new guy. hes new and dumb and power hungry, all at the same time, so he takes my designs, fucks them up, ruins my budget and then tells me off for having not done it his way (not the adelphi way, but his way which was never taught here and i was doing two jobs anyway)
    this basically results in me telling off this guy and a whole lot of other people, and now its fixed

    also, the design department is eating itself.
    this new chick sarah, teaching drafting, doesnt know how. keeps failing everyone. doesnt see a problem when all 15 kids get c's on an assignment. yelled at her too.

    its not my god damn job to do everyone elses job and it irritates the shit outta me.

    i also work for like 4 different companies, making mad money, but theyre all stupider than school
    gsd put me up in a hotel in jersey, forgot to check the equipment they gave me, nothing worked.
    they send me the next day to jones beach, half the shit isnt on the truck.
    but they pay really well...

    kelly's coming to d-block for turkey day. its gonna rock.

    im realizing i havent done a post in about a month

    life in danbury is boring as hell, im more and more annoyed by the tiny little jobs i take and the stupidness of blockbuster. jen got in trouble so she wont let me slack off anymore, which is stupid. i went to westchester for the 4th and narrowly missed rain. we saw a bunch of fireworks from pete daleys yacht club. imagine me and a whole bunch of scumbag kids mingling with the upper crust of shitty millionaires. it had its charm. joe wants to go to boston this week, well see if the car can make it. in the meantime, SOMEBODY SAVE ME

    worst dream ever
    seriously, i woke up nearly in tears. i dreamed that for whatever reason i had to go back to rit. but since i showed up now, everybody i knew there had left due to the crappiness. so i wandered around the campus watching shitty nerds being shitty and hating my life. it was spooky. anyways, shits good. went and saw a yankee game, went and saw kelly brown before that. went out with carlin the other night, shes stoked about getting married to that eamon guy, so it was encouraging. i think shell hate vermont or wherever and move back asap, but in the meantime i hope shell be happy. im thinking about destroying my bed since my back keeps seizing up. other than that, shits good.

    whelp, bridget is graduated. for the last week i have been repeatedly abused annoyed and annexed to couches in my sisters tyrannical reign as graduate. next week she will be touring the country with her boyfriend adam in a youth theater group. in the meantime, since my grandfather is convinced he will die soon, he keeps giving me things. apart from many useful hand tools, i also snagged an absurdly large television and a bowling ball aptly names "bettie jo." kelly brown intends on coming to stay for a couple days this week, so were sure to hit the town if anyones interested.

    she finally consented to give me a photo of her:

    just about the worst week of my life. senior workshop was a success, people like the soundtrack/effects. im happy with it. kelly feels better, but im about to be thrown back in the fire. ive got kikis show tuesday, wades show wednesday and thursday, and finals directly after that. met kellys family, they are scary and crazy, but ive dealt with worse. went and saw her brother as captain hook in his 8th grade production. it was so cute i wanted to throw up. there were creepy little kids everywhere. sound work and then light work to do as well as 2 papers and a research project, 4 final drafts for costumes and a stage management book due this week.

    Current Mood: too too busy

    i swear to god, im still alive.
    tech started today for senior workshop, and i realize by how stressed i am right now that im probably taking it too seriously. it will be good, but it is not yet. (my part anyway)
    im just very tired at this point and am looking forward to the inevitable lethargy of summer.
    after senior ws, im still working on kiki's show, and drew's show, and wades show, and finals.......
    im going to jump of the science building.
    lead on a summer job too, fingers crossed

    so my spring break week culminates most spectacularly. kelly brown and sam adams come and abduct me and we climb the support scaffolding of a certain landmark church that resembles sauron from lord of the rings. the view was incredible, even tho we didnt get to the top. ideal.

    boston
    so boston was obviously a good idea.
    i get there after lisa's family was nice enough to drive me, i sit around for a little while cause nobodys around, and then chris shows up with jill, who i havent talked to since high school. jen came the next day and we had a wild time. it was crazy fun times. the first weekend was crazy. it involved a trip to the star wars exhibit at the boston museum of science, a power hour, jello shots out of a stolen kfc tray, and iHop. It was good. after jen and jill left, we sat around, which i desperately needed. got to work a little bit on my 3 shows. on wednesday chris and i went to a dvd screening for death cab for cutie. a bunch of indie directors made videos for their latest cd, so we got to sit and watch them. i love the band, and i love videos, so it was great. clog and kyle werent around very much for the most part, but it was one of the most fun times ive had there none the less. came back to danbury and was instantly depressed about it. i dont know why i let it drag me down so much. went over to the puccios to steal music, we had a little barbecue, it was a good time. now im back in danbury, tired and typing. maybe watch a movie and sleep before kelly brown comes over.

    yesterday is what i want my life to be like.
    i woke up for class at 8.50, did the whole school thing til 1, met up with kelly brown at post, we ate and ran over to the theater, where i organized the light loft with little jeff. there was color gels everywhere, now theres not damn it. had rehearsal for our adaptation for clockwork orange, which is going to be amazing. the theater kids dug out a free ticket for me to see hedda gabler (ibsen, late 20th century realist) so kelly and i hop a train to brooklyn and tear apart the lighting design and blocking until nobody wanted to sit near us anymore. cate blanchett was in it, and was incomparably amazing. her voice filled the bam center like it was a closet. so we grab some bagels, head back to adelphi and chill. it was hectic in the way that you just want more. i am happy.

    okay, so cabaret was a success. it basically involved me being inundated with work for a very short amount of time, but everything worked, so i deal. adam sussman, the stage manager is the biggest tool on the planet. apart from coming in stoned for every rehearsal, run thru, and show, he didnt pay attention and called horribly. kelly brown is the shit, and pays attention to lighting shit so much more than me that its intimidating. apart from having one of the most ridiculously dirty mouths ive ever met and a tendency to use it at inappropriate times, she may be my favorite person ever. today pete borchetta reamed me out for arguing a call during a show. he was right, and given his godlike omnipotent theater knowledge, i feel like shit and want to prove myself quite badly. i learned how to use a truss, make a cable loom, instantly associate to an unfamiliar board, use socko cables, and basically do random master electrician shit. it was chill. kelly brown is bringing me in on an independent show shes working up. adaptation of clockwork orange. i hope to learn.

    okay, comic con was a bust. by the time i met up with everybody there it was sold out of tickets. lame.
    so we wandered around the city for a while, got an issue of sin city and a battle royal comic at midtown comics. nobody wanted fucking burritos, so we ate at a mcdonalds in union square.
    saw a couple of old homeless guys jerking eachother off thru a plastic bag. spooky.
    went to an amazing bookstore Strand

    it had four stories of the most claustrophobic library shelves ive ever seen.
    also, saw a mime in the subway

    he was watching a string quartet.

    all in all a pretty good day in the city. couldve done with a little more nerdiness and a little less homeless sex, but what can you do

    great night. went out with may and nat to a deceptively goth coffee bar. got my fucking apple crisp! it was mediocre. may reads books. today was a good wednesday.

    ::picks ear::

    thats why i wanted to tell you. wednesdays are usually very so-so. today was like a 7. maybe an 8.....

    ::stops picking ear::

    if i were chris, id be crying stars right now (cause hes emo)

    so i conclude by saying: adelphi is very much better than rit.

    rejoice.
