That's all I do of late. I shouldn't bitch. It's probably PMS. Of course, sometimes my bitching amuses people. But mostly it probably annoys them.
So, to take Sir Tom's Grad class and the re-scheduled voodoo weekend workshop, I had to drop the Art Therapy class. Which is ok, I am sure it will be offered again. Which reminds me, I have to get to Quality Art and pick-up some watercolor paper and get it prepped for class next weekend. Bleh. It's a have, I need the credit class. I have taken it before, the teacher is useless. But I get to go on-base at Gowen. Not sure that's a plus, honestly.
I dropped by Sir Tom's today to have him sign my 'yes, you lowly fucking undergrad, you can take a graduate level class but only if you follow the course of fire' form. His signature, his dean's signature, the signature of the dean of the graduate college. For Christ's sake, it's a class. Chill. But I am excited because Tom is excited. It's something called a Shadow Book that's a collaborative effort. And since it's a grad class, I expect good collaborations. I hope he gets at least one other artist in there. It's a lot of pressure being the only one, especially since it'll be a collaborative effort on an art project. If everyone else is an English major, I'll be vastly outnumbered. We also talked about his weekend workshop and he's pretty excited about that as well. So, two classes with Tom and one with Karen, another with Chris the archaeologist that I discovered by accident this semester... not too shabby. There's a couple others too but those are the coolest. I am actually looking forward to classes next semester quite a lot.
Oh,
thestitchwitch sent me a lovely package of goodies- a bag with the SCT logo on it, a skirt, a scrub top and this really awesome shawl with a dragon embroidered on it. It's purple, that makes the awesome level triple. It was part of my witchy costume on Saturday night.
Tomorrow I am going to talk to Marcus Eaton's management and get the date firmed up. We have been playing phone tag for a week now. But it's looking a lot like December 19. I can't wait. I hope he enjoys the venue as much as Rosalie Sorrels did. Speaking of which, we need to bug her too.
Not much happening at the theater right now, Kevin and I are both asst. directing for upcoming shows. Which is really not too labor intensive. My cast just finished blocking, thank god. I despise blocking. I have decided that should I ever get rich and/or famous, I will pay someone to block my show. Ok, I probably won't because I would just change everything to the way I wanted it and annoy the actors, but how cool would it be if I could? It's just tedious. I just want to work on line delivery and character and we are figuring out movement. Necessary but tedious.
I am going to hit the board with a new approach. We have been focusing on fund-raising so much and are getting deeply burnt out because it's pretty much the same folks doing it all. It occurs to me that if we just got more people in the seats, we could stop the fund-raising all together. So, we are going to work on some efforts that way.
And that's update. Oh yea, we are going to Twin this weekend.
