Super Glossy! T-Minus 23 1/2 hours
⊆ July 20th, 2007 by courtney | ˜I can’t believe I’m back on the g***amn computer. I have been finishing up the animation for the past 7 hours. No joke. I had to pull myself out of the house and force myself to come downtown just to get away. But here I am, because I brought my computer with me, back on the computer. But now it’s to do my programs and do a lil bloggin’. And the animation… still not done. It took me SEVEN HOURS to do TWO MINUTES of animation. On the computer. I can’t imagine in the old days of Mickey Mouse’s heyday when they were doing this stuff by hand. And I’m just moving pictures around - I’m not really making anything animate. Geez. But the truth is, I love it… almost more than performing (if your love for something can be determined by the amount of blood, sweat and tears put into it as I haven’t been on my feet in a rehearsal for 10 days. What? Omigosh that can’t be true. Guess why I have to get everything done tonight?) So, anyway, that’s my story.
Last night was fun! I was definitely making it up as we went along, but everyone’s improv skills were serviceable and you’re only as strong as your weakest link (me!). But we had a great time and it doesn’t hurt to have Damian Sinclair as my personal pimp. “Have you met Courtney?” was his tagline of the evening and I can’t say I opposed! Also, the City Pages set up a little “confessional booth” where one would confess their Fringe sins on a video camera. After a few Jamesons, I was confessing to my torrid 2006 affair and once I found out people were finding out within 2 minutes, I ran over to him to confess what I had confessed… but he had already heard! Ah well… we had a good laugh. That’s one of the things Fringe is about when you’re single. That’s what theatre is about, actually. Really. It’s all about who you sleep with. My kinda bizness.
Jenny comes into town tonight!! And then tomorrow is rehearsal in the morning and tech and then SHOW!! Yesssssss. I really can’t wait.
I just ate a watermelon wedge. I hate watermelon. I’m that hungry. And now I will wash it down with Wild Turkey.
