Still here. I've been meaning to post but life just gets in the way. First I was just busy, and then... yeah. And then bad shit happened and I wasn't sure what to say about it.
Cut for those who don't want to read it: ( VTech )
On a lighter note, puppet show only has a week left to go. It'll be one hell of a week, because I'm working all the days around the puppet show and they added an extra show on Friday. Heidi and Sam, the people that respectively designed/direct the show and built our set, have been down in Atlanta GA doing shows. The inanimate objects involved know this, and have been conspiring against us. By 'us' I mean the performers and the neighbor that's been driving us and doing the A/V stuff. Two weeks in a row the van has developed problems that involved it not starting so that we had to go in his vehicle, and the tree has been steadily breaking down. This week it was held together partly by means of gaffer's tape rigged to basically tie the structure into shape.
I also fileted my thumb in the putting the set up process on Tuesday. Sliced it open through the thumbnail. It's healing pretty quick, which is good, since I can't write or draw worth crap until it does. I'll spare you further gory details. I haven't sliced myself with a blade in about fifteen years. I play with swords for gods' sake. Apparently when I do cut myself I try to make up for the lack; the first time I cut myself, when I had my first knife, involved slicing my palm open.
They'll be back next week, which probably means that everything will go perfectly and they'll wonder what the hell we were complaining about. After the run is over, Heidi wants to go back to work on the children's book of Galapagos George I'm doing illustration for.
It's busy, but it's a good busy.
ETA: Forgot to add, the MP3 player turned back on, after being left alone for a couple weeks. I still haven't had time to call Sansa and sit on hold. It turns on, and plays, but it won't show or play any new music loaded into it since the glitch. Could be worse, right?
