i need a hobby

and people say they blog alot...i dont think anyone blogs as much as me...insane-ness...shows that i dont have a life...

i love watching the movie "Camp" it always reminds me of why i am in this buisness...i want to do things like this. i want to act and be part of productions. it was funny cus in one part of the movie it is durrning a rehersal for one of the plays they are putting on...now this time i watched it (last time i watched it was in the summer...before i started at mal of corse) and you could see in one shot a guy working on a light...just from one frame i could tell what kinda light it was and what he was doing (he was taking out the bulb) and there were so many instances like this where i looked at the corners of the frame and saw lights....or the "booth" (which btw was just a sound board on a table...) it like DAMNIT can i not watch a movie without seeing all these things...

pretty sure i have told this story but when i went to hawaii...we were watching a huge show...and everyone was all talking and being all happy about being in hawaii...i turned to emma and said "look how many lights they have...*starts counting* jezze there has got to be a 3 hundred on the frame alone...*looks around more* and look look they have 9 spot lights...*lights go on* is it sad that i know what gels are on those lights...*starts to name gel names*" emma-leigh "SHUT UP AND WATCH THE FUCKING SHOW!" "ok...*shows procedes...me looking at the lights more then the preformance...watching them change and looking at the lights i wished i could work with..when all a sudden* em...look....look at the spot light...he missed his cue..." "how could you tell that?" "well look at the other light on the other side of the middle spot...they are supposted to light the three dances the same way...the right one was off his cue and the guy was in darkness for a second" *emma leigh moans* show going on more till intermission...then michelle spends the entire time thinking of how to get and see the lighting board....and tells emma leigh every idea...and doesnt stop stareing at the lights...nor stops talking about them,...noting changes and screw up and not watching the preformers for more then a few mins without looking back at the lights/booth*


i do love that story...it happens a lot now with me...like when i saw a show at the port theatre...i think it was the nutcracker...and i noticed those things...am i never going to be able to watch a show again?? even when i was watching beach fest this summer...all i did was look at the lights...and watch the guy on the sound board...and the guy on the spot light who kept falling asleep (or it seemed like it...whenever the cue came...the preformer whould have to stare at him) oh sigh...well...i guess that just means people will have to get better...

lol./..long enough post batman!!

haha wasnt long enough...this is an edit and it is too cool to pass up


lets start at the beginning of this tale...so i was browsing through my online course...just checking out people...when i come across a name that is really really firmilur to me...so i think...why do i know this name...*click* she is the stage manager for urinetown. i have been in a corse with her without even knowing it. so i emailed her...told her i was her asm...and i just got the email back and turns out she wont be there for most of december so im going to be doing her job when she isnt there...so im pretty excited for that...and im really excited for the show...Dean and Gary ( the producer and director) have been emailing me and im so stoked. and i dont have to worry about rides...Gary lives two streets away from me :D which works out perfectly for me. the director will have to be there for rehersals...and for productions? well it is at mal...wont be hard to get home! so yeah...my exciting news for today!!

*turns to audience* "well, you can go home now"
