Alas, Sunday morning is my last day to sleep in since classes start Monday. Man, I'm am SO dreading classes. I'm dreading not knowing ANYbody in any of my classes even more.

This is going to suck.

Whew, that was close!

Narrowly avoided a completely fun-free weekend, thanks to a friend of mine in Lexington. Grin!

Alright... we know how smart we are, but HOW are we smart? Take this test to see!

The Multiple Intelligences Test
Scott, you're smartest when it comes to visual/spatial intelligence

Others may take their environments for granted but not you. Because of your visual/spatial intelligence you really see the world around you. This strength often helps you better appreciate the beauty and detail in everyday things. From shapes in nature to the structure of a fine automobile, a countless variety of things hold your interest.

Having this particular kind of heightened awareness can allow you to form accurate mental images of existing places and objects. In extreme cases, one might call this strength a photographic memory. Being visually/spatially intelligent also means that you likely have a vivid imagination that can be put to use in a variety of creative or professional endeavors.

Lighting Design Project III

Well, that didn't take nearly as long as I had figured, and kind of had hoped. Everything looks good though... at least without actors on stage. Tomorrow night will be the real test.

But for now... I'm bored.

Weekend Outlook - Update

Apparently no one knows how to answer a phone, so I'm at home... bored.

Lighting Design Project II

(to see what was up previously, visit Tuesday, December 02, 2003)

I'm almost finished with the design aspect of the show. I hung, focused, and gelled the final lighting instruments I need for Studio Player's production of Other People's Money. Tomorrow at noon, the director and I, along with the stage manager and a stray actor or two, hash out how the show will flow lighting-wise. I'm really excited about seeing what my first full design project is going to look like in the context of the show with people on stage emoting and such. It's just not the same just staring at the set with lights turned on. Now I want to see what people look like underneath the lime light (which there is none of actually in this show).

Check it out

Bored and Lonely.

Now accepting entries for something to do.

mXc

MXC, also known as Most Extreme Elimination Challenge, has GOT to be one of the most hilarious shows on TV. It's a great show for a bunch of people to sit around, watch, and laugh at. The SPIKE network has done an incredible job with their programming geared for men.

And thank you for running three straight hours of it during card night at the apartment!

Cards, friends, junk food, and Japanese people humiliating themselves on TV for who knows what or why, is the best way to spend at least one night a week!

Bloggin' for the sake of Bloggin'

Well, to all TWO people who I know regulary visit my blog (Thanks Patrick and Stephanie) this one's for you!

Yeah, sorry, there's still very little to be told that I haven't already.

Starting Jan 15, 2003, Studio Players is producing a show called OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY. I have designed the lights for the show, and I'm very excited about seeing it on it's feet. I'd also love to see a lot of people in the audience that I know to see my first full-fledged lighting design. Spread the word. Other People's Money at Studio Player's in Lexington. January 15 thru February 1.

Sorry folks, I've got nothing.

Car Trouble - Trouble No More

A few things:

1. For the first time in my life, car repairs have actually cost LESS than I was quoted.
2. I feel like a giant in my little Chevy Cavalier compared to the nice roomy interior of the 2004 Honda Accord that I was renting.
3. It's good to have my car back.
4. No more having to explain why I don't want to drive somewhere.

Car Trouble - The Light at the End of the Tunnel

I just called about my car, and they said they'd have it together in about forty-five minutes!!! Then they'd test it, and (hopefully) it'll be MINE AGAIN!!!!! I can't wait... stay tuned, true believers!

The past two days have been filled with lighting, chili, friends, and goofy grins. It's been great, but there's been a slight emptyness. Something that wasn't there that usually is. But I've plodded on, and continued to be happy even in the face of this void.

The big goofy grin saga continues. I had a lot of fun yesterday. I just enjoy being around her. Right now, those are the only words I can put to it.

Car Trouble - the "Pros"

Okay. So finally on Friday I went and rented a car from Enterprise. I reserved my car online and my roommate took me in to pick it up... pretty easy. When I got there I saw an old friend... and he happens to be the manager of the place. I haven't seen him in a while, and I don't think he ever knew my last name or anything, so when the reservation came in, he didn't recognize my name. When I got there he immediately recognized me and my roommate (although he still sees him on a more consistant basis). He gave me a hard time and stuff like friends do, and then he cut me a really sweet deal. Instead of driving around in a Geo or another Cavalier, he set me up with a too sweet 2004 Honda Accord... pretty loaded, too. I tell you, as of right now, driving hasn't been much sweeter. I even took a drive on I-75 one night just to drive it. It's been a great time, and I'm not looking forward to Monday anymore (which is when I get my car back, supposedly).

Y'know, actually, if my car is working the way it should when I get it back... I'll love it! (and for $1500.00, it better!)

Question

Situation: You invite someone (in this case, a girl) to go do something.... say, a movie. Then she asks if she can bring a friend along.

What should you do? Advice?

Great First Impressions

Hypothetical Conversation

Guy: Hey, let's go out tonight!

Girl: Okay. What do you want to do.

Guy: I was thinking maybe a movie.

Girl: Sounds great!

Guy: Yeah, so... can you pick me up, I don't have car.

Car Trouble - the "Cons"

Okay, for those of you who don't know (or actually care), my car's transmission has been on the fritz for about a month now. I was finally able to take it in to get it worked on this past Tuesday, and they said it was possible it would be ready the next afternoon. Great! I call Wednesday around noon, and they said the transmission was being put back together, then they'd take it out to test it, so please call back around 2:30 - 3:00.

So I do.

When I do, they tell me that one of the parts they ot in was bad (just a part that should've been a reject off the line) and my car wouldn't be ready until Friday... today. So I call around 11:30am to ask about my car, and theytell me the truck with the part on it never arrived, so it wouldn't be ready until Monday.

Recap: Been without a care since Tuesday, having to bum rides from people everywhere I go.

I'm having a tough time deciding if the New Year is starting off well or not.

I really enjoyed where I started it, and who I started it with. So for that much, it's going great. Let's just say, questions and doubts.
