At least three days a week lately are focused on my work with my church's Savior of the World production, performances beginning in a month. Fortunately, I have most of the props by now; I'm in charge of props. Just need the stage builders to make a couple other things. Today at rehearsal, I didn't actually focus on the stage; I was in the back of the cultural hall with one of the cast member's young daughter. I had some crayons and paper in my backpack (as I tend to do) so I drew some stuff and she colored. We did a Snow White first, then a seal eating banana bread (she said she likes banana bread and she liked the stuffed seal I had with me), and then an alligator playing basketball. Not just any alligator: a happy alligator. I love how kids think sometimes!
Sigh, no more Fairy Tale on On Demand. I'm watching the 'King of the Nerds' reality competition on TBS, but it's disheartening at how trollish these people are being to each other in real life. I know it's a competition, but can't you guys be nicer to each other. If we nerds fight amongst ourselves, how can we marshall our forces against our detractors?! I'm also watching FaceOff on SyFy, which is the awesome competition series for special effects makeup. And I've been pruning my reference pictures I've gotten from various magazines and art books. I used to have four binders of quotes and lyrics, clothes, figure poses, and other images; now I'm down to two binders and a notebook.
I have started to re-watch some of my personal anime collection; watched Scryed this week. I haven't watched the series in a year or so and re-watching it does remind me why I love it. Mostly because of Cougar. Lots of people have lots of issues with the characters in Scryed, but I love Cougar because he really does seem surprisingly normal. For one thing, he's nuts about reading; you have to love a guy that'll exercise his mind as much as his body. He's a crazy, hyperactive guy that did everything he could to impress the girl he loves and make her happy, but couldn't quite get her away from the emo twit she's been in love with since childhood. And then the ending; aw, man.
