Is it weird that after a long day of manual labor, my favorite part is washing my hands with cold water after?? It's so satisfying...watching all of the dirt rinse off your hands and down the drains. Plus, the cold water feels really good on blisters.
I've been listening to the Dr. Horrible soundtrack a lot lately.
I had my first production meeting this afternoon. It was kind of pointless, if I'm going to be honest. It was interesting, and it felt really good to be included in the important stuff like that, but there really wasn't a point to me being there at this stage. I'm co-set crew heading. Which means I'm half in charge of set crew. Right now they are still talking about the designs and building things.
My job is to move those things once they get built. I mean, really. I have no say in the designs or anything. After the meeting I grabbed some lunch, then went into the scene shop and worked for a few hours. Betty and I ripped muslin off some soft flats, then took all the tacks out and got them ready for new muslin.
Other than the fact that the guy in charge of the scene shop thinks it's a good idea to listen to NPR while we work, it's a lot of fun. Betty and I joked around and just had fun destroying things.
After we just moved a bunch of large awkward flats from the stage area to the shop area. Normal manual labor stuff. I think it would be a lot of fun to be a painter when I graduate. Painting flats. I'm really good at that, and I love painting.
Speaking of, last term I bought a set of oil paints. I started this really cool picture of a jellyfish and a boat on the ocean. But I ran out of white paint and now I can't finish it. I really need some...all I need to paint is the sky and the boat. How frustrating.
All in all I had a really good day and I plan on working in the shop a lot more so I'm sure I'll have some stories for that...not that anyone reads this. (:
