The Diary of Queen Mothy |
Rising to Power written @ 5:01 PM on March 28, 2003 They're saying now that this war "isn't what America was expecting." No shit, you fuckheads. I could have told you six months ago that if we went to war it would be a lot longer than what the government told you. I'm a freaking author of war novels! I've imagined many twists and turns this war with Iraq may very well take, all of them coming true so far. Hell, I should be the guy in charge of foreign affairs. Number one rule: Think like your enemy. Number two: Have a sense of foresight. Number three: Plan for the worst. Number four: Don't underestimate the public. But whatever. If I start talking about the war, I'll get all bent out of shape, and I'm in too good a mood. Since the Iraqi army started firing on civilians, my views on this war have changed, but I still believe that we shouldn't have set foot there in the first place. *** Work on the shows are proceeding as scheduled. I began laying down the burlap for "The Bandmaster." The burlap is serving as rough ground terrain, and will later be painted and decorated so as to suggest true earth. I'm working under Terry's direction there, but he's pretty much leaving me to my own devices as long as I get it done. As is Ron, surprisingly. He's designing my show, and he's recently showed me the facade unit that will represent the Pieta for "Three Girls, Four Seasons." He showed me a picture of the original Pieta, and I said, "Looks like washes of brown, indigo blue, and grey over stone white." And he turned to me and said, "Tell me what you need and I'll get it." Looks as though he's turning me loose! And Steve has been talking about getting me into the tech union and securing an internship at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park for me. Plus a BFA senior has been asking for me to help on his senior project, Steve said. Then he laughed. "Just think how good it's going to feel when you're able to say, 'Gee, I'd like to help you, but my rates are too high for you.' Best feeling in the world, Sam!" So, all in a nut shell, things are going splendidly for me, even if I've been working like a dog and warding off a migraine. Busy, yes, but disheartened no! Rather, inspired! My career is taking off for me. I handed in my resume for summer dinner theater today, and all I have to do is wait for the list posting. I owe Steve so much for helping me get the foot in the door of this department. It's really helped me in so many ways. And once I get settled into my summer jobs, I can begin plotting my rise in the art department, tentatively scheduled to be executed this summer and next semester. Busy, yes, burned out no! It's just been one of those days when I feel like I can take on the world and not give a damn what happens next. Independence is sweet. And nothing is greater than the feeling that this is what God wanted me to do all along. *evil laugh* I'm such an evil, ambitious bitch.
