temporary freedom

lighting was my only class today!! woot! i didn't even get out my plot for lighting design, i just sat down at the computer and pulled the opera light plot across my lap and started typing in numbers. and wouldn't you know, 2 hours later, i had a channel hookup! wasn't as hard to figure out the lightwrite program as i was fearing. i had few specifics for the assignment, but luckily mitzue was working on the drafting table in the back of the classroom, and she answered all my questions while doing her final plot for streetcar- she also says i can help her hang her show, so that will take care of both my assigments for silly 1 credit lightlab. now if i can only get this major lighting project done....

at work in the costume shop today i was just folding laundry and putting away things. patti came back and said i should check the corset box, as there were some fancy corsets that weren't in fact historical corsets but more the showgirl type. it ended up this huge project involving me taking up a cutting table with the showgirl, cabaret, corset, and bras and girdles boxes. the corset box didn't really need much work, and i got the two showgirls boxes sorted, and had just started to make piles of the bras and girdles (bras, strapless bras, long line bras, full body girdles, short girdles, garter belts... you'd be amazed how many catagories there are. and now really. how many people do this at their job?

and i got new shoes! christopher bought these 1913 style boots for vanya that were too small for everyone, so he donated them to the shop, but i wanted to try them on and they fit so he gave them to me! so i have wichy brown heeled boots. they are so cool! perhaps i'll take them with for thanksgiving. i'm totally in denial about leaving tomorrow. there is so much i have to get done, and i have a feeling i will accomplish very little on vacation. there's read my lips to re-read (taking notes this time!) my muslin to sew for patternmaking, l's xmas gift to knit, and papers to write. and that's not even counting the things i CAN'T take with me, like my lighting project and mending and scanning and emails and bleh!

plus, i need to do the dishes before i leave. you know how i feel about that.

so, off to pack. then back to the grindstone.

will type from NC if i get a chance, otherwise, happy thanksgiving, everyone, and i'll return on sunday with all sorts of fabulous stories.
