I went from electrician to engineer in one badly managed case of high school musicals.
I was supposed to be running lights this week, but the crew situation being what it is, I got thrown back behind the sound board for this show, which is both exciting and scary. It's cool that I still remember so much from having not run sound live in roughly 5 years (well, anything substantial anyways) but kind of nerve-racking to be working with a system I've never touch before (and this isn't just a "turn on the board and do it" thing - it's patching and the whole nine yards) and to have 8 wireless units, several wired mics, a few instruments, and a cd player thrown at me. All for some new musical that involves a self-written song about Facebook.com.
Anyways.
Last night at Olney wasn't too bad, though I had a table dropped on my toe. I don't wear steel-toed boots (for obvious reasons) so it's still smarting today. Meh.
I've recently gone on a health kick, and so far it's been good stuff. I mainly started with a better diet to try to keep my skin in better shape, and also because at work I felt like I was wimping out earlier than my coworkers. So I've been eating lots more fruits and veggies, and - here's the big one - I quit my caffeine habit. Drinking more water and more green tea. I feel a lot better, and in general have much more energy. So I've started working out now, too...not because I think I need to lose weight really, but to just be a bit more in shape. Though I realized last night that my biceps are now slightly larger than my neck...which is just kinda creepy, I think. So, uh, just working on the abs and legs for now, heh.
Skin is almost clear by now, too, aside from the lingering effects of having to wear a belt with tools every few days. Yay.
Well, I think I'm gonna clean my room and take it easy for the night. I've got a long week ahead of me...
