updates and opinions

1) it sucks when people you care for just don't seem to "get" you

2) loneliness is more bitter when it's not shared

3) all work and no play really does suck

4) blowing stuff up is cool and exciting

5) i'm doomed to a single life

on a lighter side... Into The Woods opens tomorrow night and then I switch roles from Master Electrician to Lighting Designer and my job becomes ten times easier - ten times harder - and I get paid more for it.

Man - I hope I don't F#@$ it up.

pyro

Probably THE coolest thing that I've done so far [at Jenny Wiley] is to create flash pots and other pyro effect delivery devices, and design and build the firing mechanisms for said devices.

More on this later... if you're lucky.

soundtrack to my life - issue 1

Summer Nights - from Grease!Key Lyrics:
Summer loving had me a blast
Summer loving happened so fast
...
Summer dreams ripped a the seams
But oh those summer nights

The Luckiest - Ben FoldsKey Lyrics:
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

getting high

Another quick post from JWT...

Today I helped rig up the flying track and mechanism to make Peter Pan and company fly for our production of Peter Pan. It's another great resume builder experience. When we were finished the "Fly Guy" - the man from whom we're renting the gear and who's teaching the flymen and actors how to do everything thing - asked me if I wanted to fly. Of course I said yes, and I flew like Peter Pan, Wendy, John and Michael. It was really cool and a lot of fun, I was basically the guinea pig for the guys learning the ropes before the actors came in. I guess I'm more expendable than the actors are or something ;). Anyway, I'm having a blast when I can... my part of putting up the shows is almost over (at least the tough part). A lot of late nights are happening right now, but in the end, it'll be worth it.

Love to all!
