Work: I'm still working on Scarlet Pimpernel at the Hale (sorry, Shanna, I keep remembering and then forgetting - argh! - that I need to call you back!) and recently have been handling "notes". There are a series of messages that get passed from Marguerite to Chauvelin, and from Chauvelin to Marguerite, and from Percy to his crew. The ones from M to C and vice-versa are now filled with a variety of insults, some in bad French, one involving "your mother", and one that just says "You suck." I really hope the actors take the time to read them all, because one of them is going to make someone bust up laughing, I just know it. I also created a bunch of SP "calling cards" - I am now fairly awesome at drawing a scarlet pimpernel flower. That's my work you'll see pinned to the guillotine! Today I also worked on (surprise!) some new body bags. (Seriously. Who knew that specialty would come up so often?) Tomorrow I hope to help start painting the large carousel horses for the opening number - we've already glittered and bejeweled the living heck out of four medium-sized ones.

Grad School: I interviewed with one school (FYI: six AM here is one PM over there) and had a great conversation with a very nice lady. Eventually, we figured out that I had applied to the wrong program, and I should probably talk to their admissions officer about switching over to the right one... but if I decided to try the program I accidentally applied to, she was offering me a spot anyway. Heh. The admissions guy finally emailed me back and said all the places were taken in the program I really wanted, but he'd hold my application for next year (*sigh*), so now I am torn. I'm still waiting to hear back from the other school I applied to, though, and trying to figure out whom I can call and pester (politely) there.

Other: The hair situation is not getting any better - I'm hating the cut/cuts more with each passing day, and am thinking the solution may be to go for a dramatic short/spiky look and come as close to starting over as I realistically can, without actually shaving (though I'm still VERY tempted). I plan to see Harry Potter 6 again on Saturday. I will be jogging and cutting sugar again shortly - this time I'm waiting for the pain in my neck to ease up (no, that's not a euphemism) that was caused by the wrenching it received for the first time ever on Jet Star 2 at Lagoon. I'm so old. I'm hoping to start work shortly on putting together a book with a friend of mine, and I'd like to get into Spanish and dance classes before I leave for school in the fall (fingers crossed, making it very hard to type). I'm slightly panicked by the fact that I saw "Back to School" supplies on sale at Walmart today, though I should probably be relieved they weren't setting up those displays back in May. I got the new Daughtry album today - I may talk myself into getting up and running in the morning as a reason to listen to it. My headache's finally going away, and it's time for me to go to bed. Later!
