How do I always manage to make everything work out perfectly? I always find the right things at the right price, AND I can be humble at the same time!
I can’t wait for finals to be over, so I can start preparing for my role as Lighting Designer/Master Electrician/Sound Engineer/Mic Wrangler/Technical Director. Oh my!

AAAAAH!!!! iPHONE 3G! Orgasmic. The 3G iPhone was released today at WWDC to much fanfare from myself. I’m definitely going to buy one when it comes out on July 11, because I’m sick of using this crappy GoPhone as my temp. It has 3G data speeds, GPS maps, and the back is now plastic (no more of that weird mirror thing that scratches so easily!). And, best of all, the price is cut in half! I can get my iPhone for $200 now, plus the monthly 3G data plan (which is $30 now? darn!). This is too good to be true. The only other thing that I could have wanted was more colors to choose from (I kinda liked the rumored Product Red color). I also want to know what the iPhone software 2.0 is like. I hope there’s video recording, MMS, and cut-and-paste functionality. That would be amazing.
And the only other piece of tech-geekery to report is almost as cool. I’m working to try to design and implement a portable, low-cost lighting system for SCP. I’m really excited for that. I’ll have more geeky details about that later. It’s gonna rock!
You know you’re a drama nerd when you spend more than $100 on clear, translucent pieces of colored plastic. But, if it’s any consolation, the expensive plastic is all part of a larger scheme to design some amazing, spectacular lighting for a show full of bratty little middle schoolers. I guess it all evens out in the end.
Yesterday morning, the SCP crew headed out to Fischer Productions in Hanover and spent lots of money (and I got an amazing new stage makeup kit that I had been eyeing for a while now that I am now in debt for…lol). Then, we went to Target and got Pokemon cards and bubble guns. Briana and I had a “blast from the past” moment when we saw all of the 90’s toys and cards (Matchbox cars, Pokemon/Yu-Gi-Oh, etc.). It was a good time. :)
After that, I came home and cut gels for an hour and probably gave myself carpal tunnel syndrome (I’m probably going to give myself a broken neck next week after I fall off of the ladder of death trying to install the gels) and had a voice lesson.
Later, Chelsea and I hung out at the mall. I got a shirt on sale at Aeropostale for $14 that looks pretty awesome (and I almost bought a shirt that was almost identical to the one that I was wearing…blonde moment!). We had Monkey Bubble Tea, but mine was pretty nasty because I got the wrong flavor. Then, we took some pictures in the photo booth and had ice cream and chicken.
It was a good day. :)
