Lost Downtown

Friday, February 04, 2005

My day existed in between naps and short periods of productivity.

Today really is Thursday. And it was an uneventful day, mostly, which I thoroughly enjoyed. No Dr's appointments, only one class, and lots of time to do what I needed to do (as well as things that were unneccessary.)

Well, I guess sleep is not unneccessary per se, but I've been super-tired lately and I napped a ton today: half-hour between Theatre History and working on Props, and then post-dinner I napped most of the evening. Now I'm up again and then I'll shower and go to bed for real. I hope nothing's wrong with me b/c I never feel rested (except when Sheerya wakes me up at 6:00 b/c she turns on the light at the vanity-- which has a three-way-mirror-- and effectively floods the entire room with an unhealthy neon glow. I was Awake then. Haven't been since.)

I guess the fact that the blasted Theatre History project is over is worth noting. We were at the library until 1:15 last night, which definitely sucked. But at least it's done, and it went okay in class. There were times during the presentation, however, where I felt like my groupmate would try to discredit what I said or take credit for the idea or observation herself. Ah well. I don't think anyone believed her though, b/c she was not the group authority on Men's Fashion from medieval times onward and clearly, I am the Design major and she is not. So there. *sniff*

I worked on Props for Chicago today. Specifically, turning an issue of the Pantagraph into The Times with the headline, "Roxy Rocks Chicago!" It's pretty far along even though I only worked on it for an hour and a half. Speedy progress is good b/c we open near the end of the month! (Argghhh!) I might have to post a picture of the finished product, b/c it will be très cool.

KB and I were chatting about productivity and she suggested that I publish a book on my Philosophy of Work: The Philosophy of Selective and Intermittent Productivity. The basic premise is that I'm productive when I need to be and not always during other times. I think this could work well for other people; I should share my newfound wisdom.

I will work on the book when I feel like it mostly, and occasionally when I Need to work on it, to meet such industry-imposed nonsense as deadlines. It will sell millions and make me quite rich. This will be a welcome supplement to my salary as a Costume Designer, which would make me a Thousandaire turned Millionaire. (Because it can be very difficult to make a living in the theatre. Designing is a bit for stable than acting, but not by much...) And of course, I will have an amazing husband and gorgeous, wonderful little kids, and they would be happy that I finally made some money. And... I made it because I'm not productive! (*insert uproarious laugher here*)

I also finally figured out why my profile wasn't linking. I'd ended up creating two blogger accounts, and that had caused problems galore. Fortunately though, I realized that my issues lie in a one character discrepancy in the login name, and I was able to fix the problem. I hope.

Well, I must turn in for the night. I have to be up in less than 8 hours to talk with Charles! Hooray! I've been looking forward to our chat time all week.

Oh, and I still don't know if I'm going to the Ballroom or not. It's mighty tempting...
