I'm Going to Take You Down the Path That ROCKS written @ 9:46 PM on September 09, 2003 Well, folks, consider this a record: This evening I succeeded in dropping and subsequently breaking my seventh portable CD player in four years. Seven CD players! I am truly what is keeping that part of the media industry in business. I seem to have the same problem with sunglasses as well. In the past two summers I have succeeded in mauling/stepping on/crushing with stage platforms/losing nine pairs of sunglasses. Honestly... there is an evil spirit out there who is hell bent on making sure that I don't own a CD player or a pair of sunglasses. You've got to wonder what I did in a past life that would merit such a karmic fact that I am incapable of owning these two items. *** This evening I spent most of the time in my art studio space on the fourth floor of the Fine Arts Center working on ground plans for the show Five Women Wearing the Same Dress, which I am assistant scenic designer for. Ron, my instructor in scenic design for theater, approved my designs for the ground plans and seemed satisfied with the renderings I did this weekend. He's going to present my work to the crew at the production meeting on Thursday. Keep your fingers crossed that Sandy-- loving referred to as Voldemort in the department-- doesn't devour the paper the ground plans are on and spew it back up in Ron's face... ... because that would mean I would have to start over ... and there's very little you can do with the straight forward sets of this show. *** This weekend, my friend Brian has this idea that he wants to take me back to Peebles County, Ohio for the Olde Tymers Festival that they have. I am dreading this event and am therefore hoping some great artistic catastrophe will occur (except Sandy spewing the set designs, that wouldn't be fun) that will demand my attention in the studio. The Old Tymers Festival is a Peebles tradition dating back to the good Lord knows when, where people dress up in turn of the century farm costumes and have pig, cow, (name your animal) judgings, quilting and pie and pickling competitions, hog races, corn-shucking contests-- and everything else this suburbian princess and Renaissance Festival veteran dreads. In other words, a traditional rural American celebration... thing. If I go to Peebles, it will be for one of two reasons: 1) I want to see the Serpent Mound and 2) I would much rather see the crop circles that have been all over the news. However, they have closed off the fields where the crop circles have been found because scientists from all over the country are still conducting their chemical and magnetic tests. So that leaves the Serpent Mound, and if I go to the Serpent Mound, undoubtedly I'll end up getting dragged to the Olde Tymers Fest. *sigh* Mother and my professors have always told me to travel, but I'm not sure Peebles, Ohio was what they had in mind. I, in fact, was thinking more and more along the lines of London, Paris, and my fatherland of the Czech Republic. But ah well. *** Quote of the Day: He's going to take you down the path of righteousness. I'm going to take you down the path that ROCKS! Disney's The Emperor's New Groove, one of the most underappreciated cinemagraphic marvels of all time.
