Jason got into town today, YAY! I amazingly slept in until noon today. I made a salad for lunch and I worked on my SYE paper. Jason and I went to Friendly’s for dinner and it was pretty good, I had never been there before. When we got back to the house we watched Frost Nixon which was a film about Watergate. It did not move very quickly but it was an ok movie.
Today I spent my morning consolidating all of the, Band, Geeks! colors in to small deli cups and packing them into the road box. At lunch I had chefboyrdee and strawberries. In the afternoon I spent more time consolidating colors and I back painted the scoreboard for the show. I all so painted some boards dark grey for the show. By the end of the day the road box was ready to go and I was cleaning rollers. When I got home Jason and I made spaghetti and meat balls which was pretty good.

In the morning the whole crew met at the Chester theatre, its official name is the Norma Terris Theatre. We did paint notes on stage until about ten ‘o clock. Then everyone went back to the shop to clean. I disposed of some dried cans of shellac and some big buckets of dye. I also, took out the trash while helping Phyllis and Patti get rid of the left over show paint that didn’t fit in the road box. The rest of my day I spent cleaning rollers and paint trays. I cleaned out some buckets too.
When I got home Jason and I made dinner and we watched the first Iron Man, on Thursday were going to go see Iron Man 2. In other news the internet here has not been working properly since Friday and as of Monday it doesn’t work at all.

This morning we all gathered at the Chester theatre and did notes. I was sent back to the shop to paint some molding. I painted the base color and a silver color on to them. The rest of my morning I spent filling the slop buckets with saw dust so they would be solid and the carpenters could dispose of them. At lunch I sent my SYE and reflection paper to Greg. I am hoping to get either more ideas I can create more information from because I can’t think of any more to cover in my SYE paper. I also had an instant lunch soup for lunch and it was not as good as I had hoped.
In the afternoon I kept filling slop buckets and put them by the door for carpenters to take. I also, cleaned more buckets and brushes.

In the morning we all met up at the theatre and did paint notes. Then I went back to the shop alone and worked on painting some molding that was to be placed in side the window frames. First I painted on the base coat and then a silver coat. Later Phyllis and Patti gave it a texture to make it look dirty or aged. I went back to my house for lunch where Jason and I made Mac n cheese.
In the afternoon I spent most of my time bucket washing or tidying up the shop. I do get satisfaction out of cleaning in that I can see my work progress before my eyes and I know I am completing the task at hand. I believe that is why I love painting so much because I can see the project from start to finish. If I am lucky enough I even get to see the audience appreciate everyone’s work. It’s a nice feeling to know you are contributing to a bigger grander picture.
Towards the end of the day Krista and I met Carla back at the theatre where we did some more paint notes. There were just a few touch up to be done and tone down the tarps that go on the back of the bleachers. I got to say goodbye to Krista today because she is going to go work at her theatre company, End Station, in Virginia. Her and a friend started it after grad school and have been doing shows every summer since. It takes a lot of guts to put your self out there like that to an audience by taking full control of a company and making the big decisions, such as picking your season. I will miss Krista a lot, she always gave really good advice. I hope I can stay in touch with her through facebook because I don’t have her email unfortunately.
In the evening Jason and I went and saw the opening of Band, Geeks! It was really good and I hope it ends up going to another theatre as Goodspeed hopes it will.

This morning I helped Carla finish the head board by sealing it and back painting it. I also, cleaned off the mixing table and put more paint in the slope buckets. I made more pounce bags and got rid of some old ones, also I refilled the pounce boxes.
In the afternoon Jason and I went to the Honda dealership because my sunroof is broken. Now I have to pay $800 dollars to get it fixed. I am so thrilled at the fact that I have put so much money into my car in the only three years that I have owned it. I am extremely frustrated if you can’t tell. Then the two of us went to Five Guys and then to see Iron Man 2 it was pretty bad ass, I defiantly recommend it. I would really watch it when you want to drop kick something it kind of helps.

In the morning Jason and I went over and stuck my laundry in at the Goodspeed laundry place. Then we went to the library to get on the internet because the company housing I am living in has not had internet all week. I found out hat Trinity Rep in Providence wants to interview me for their costume internship program. I am really excited and just need to figure out when I can go in for an interview. Then Jason and I went grocery shopping to get me some little stuff for the week like milk and orange juice. After my laundry was done we went to Gillette Castle and walked around for a bit. It was really nice to be outside on a day when it was not raining. I also found out that the trails run all the way down to the river behind the castle. The whole park was really pretty.
\In the evening Jason and I watched Burn Before Reading and Wall-E. I made pirogues and pasta for dinner.

Jason and I both got up before noon and I made hot dogs for lunch. For what small time we had in the afternoon together we hung out and talked. Then at 3:30 I drove him to the air port. He has to go home for jury duty I don’t know how much fun he will have doing that but he has to do it. It was very sad to see him leave but I am glad he got to come and see me. I will get to see him when I come home to walk at graduation. Speaking of graduation which I have only four more weeks till it still hasn’t hit me yet.
When I got home from the airport I made dinner and watched some TV with my roommates.
