you know how sometimes conan o'brien has "george w bush" on as a guest - on the tv screen with someone else's mouth? tonight he had "zell miller" on, who challenged conan to a duel. when conan refused, miller said he was left with no choice but to challenge him to ... a duel of hungry, hungry hippos.
i haven't laughed that hard in a while. except maybe when i see the dq commercial for the new 'moolatte' where there's a woman 'taste tester' who runs, blindfolded, into a window wall. that one gets me every time.

today was semi-productive.
at work, i moved my office space around to accomodate my new drafting table. you see, i used to share the office in the scene shop with the td and lighting designer. since we've restructured and renovated upstairs, a good deal of space opened up on the third floor. now that i have my own table, and can draft on the computer and send it downstairs on the network, i am more portable than i once was. after four versions of spatial relations, i finally settled on the arrangement i have now, and i think i'm going to be very happy.
i also managed to finalize (i think) the design for show #2. i feel good about where we've gone with it, and it's definitely different than anything i've done. i'm excited about it.
i even wrote rough cues for show #1, which goes into tech this weekend. i still have a final pipe of lights to hang, and i have some left to cable - i also have make sure what's in the air agrees with my plot, otherwise i'm going to have some issues. i left my notes on saturday, that had some changes i'd made on the fly. i think i remembered them correctly; if not, i will cry since the show i wrote tonight is based on those revisions.
as a matter of interest, what could be better than neopolitan ice cream sandwiches? and sex doesn't count since that's already a given.
away! to slumber!

yesterday i bought a drafting table. it is sweet, and more table than i ever thought i could afford - i may be inclined to post pictures later. it cost me $80. it should've been illegal.
today the service engine light came on in my car, and i got a letter from the bank that says i never made august's car payment, which i am typically religious about.
what is that????

i think i don't like doing "storefront" theater.
today was "hang and focus" day for show #1. there were sposed to be "crew" to "help" "us" hang the plot (that's being used by his show also). instead, it was me. the guy that said "we" would have "people" spent the day fixing other stuff, running power to the booth so the board could be plugged in. i spent the day up and down on a wooden a-frame that was c-clamped to a table (with no wheels). the two other guys that showed up were building the set for the show that shares the light plot. they helped me move the table around when i had to go where i couldn't drag it myself. guy #1 left for a while, came back before he had to go to work, and waited while i plugged in all the dimmers at the racks. then we fired up all the instruments i'd managed to hang, circuit, and color myself from 10 to 5. i got through 3/4 of the plot. there is still a batten over the house that needs done, but i have to do it from an extension ladder that has no rubber on it's feet so someone needs to sit on it while i'm on top. one of the pipes that i hung yesterday can't be fired up until saturday because i ran out of adapters for the asinine combination of edison and twist lock plugs. also, all the battens are unistrut, which is a tool of the devil.
the bottom line is that i drove into chicago today hoping to be done with hang and focus by the time i left. i am not. i have to go back saturday, hopefully with help, and hang the last pipe and re-circuit the one i couldn't finish. i have to beg twofers and gel frames from eric, and hope that etc offline works the way i think it does, so i can do all the board work here instead of sitting at the board there.
