Random Thoughts

He plays the saxophone and eats a roast beef sandwich at the same time.

I was playing with some silver spray paint earlier. And naturally it went all over because I’m the world’s sloppiest painter (without a doubt it will somehow always end up all over my face and it looks like I’ve been eating it from the tube as if it were icing) and it went all over my knuckles. I tried to convince a friend that I was turning into the tin man without avail. I think it was during that painting time that I reached for a tube of ChapStick and it was almost too late before I realized that it was a glue stick.

My friend Aaron was trying to tempt me to buy a pair of Versace jeans he had ordered from E-bay but ended up being too small for him. I told him it wasn’t nice to tempt me with things like that when I’ve almost no disposable income these days. Seemingly more and more my student life seems to draw a line between itself and being a pauper.

Thankfully the midterm heat has been turned down a little. Apparently for some the heat was a bit too much to handle. I’ve overheard lots of folks talking about dropping classes just now, which to me seems a little silly and a bit late. I wish them luck with their academic careers.

There is but one place to procure sustenance on the Indiana University East campus, (other than a vending machine) and that is the Subway. I am fed to the teeth with Subway! It’s gross and bland and just all around boring, which is probably why it suits the American palate so. I’m going to have to hike to the Meijer next door and find something other than a sandwich. I wish I had the power to conjure up a lunch of fruit, nuts, and roughage or something without ever having to leave campus.

Another show is slowly rolling into the theatrical station. It’s called Laughter on the 23rd Floor by Neil Simon. It centers around a group of television writers in the 1950s. I’m designing the set and this would be the other big project this semester. The show goes up in two weeks, and we’ve a week to get the set up and tech. So it’ll be interesting to see how it pans out. I met with the builders the other day and thankfully they’re a fabulous group of guys who I know will make it happen. In choosing crown moulding for the set, the director had to gently remind me that it’s an office building and not Rita Hayworth’s apartment.

Lately I’ve been listening to a LOT of Bauhaus, Belle & Sebastian, Carole King, and Morrissey. Mostly mope, you say? Maybe.

I started painting the bathroom black and green. A friend commented that it was like a jungle. I was thinking more 1980s computer.
