It has long been noted that humans enjoy patterns, be they patterns of behavior or patterns of events, numerals, or even visual artifacts. This can be either good or bad. Without it we would not have the beautiful symmetry of greco-roman architecture, or literary thematic symmetry. On the other hand, people often allow their lives to fall into ruts (road worn patterns) and lose touch through repetition.
To avoid such, I applied to grad school, and, for once, pro actively followed up. setting up my own interview and what not. It happened yesterday and I can report that it went as well as it possibly could. I also was able to see my dear and newly married friend Sam. After a good interview at school and a fantastic meal with Sam and his wife, I drove back this morning.
Who knows if I shall get in, but at this point there is little I can do about it.
Tomorrow I must catch up all some of the work I missed and then I have to drive 3 hours to see my first concert in a year. Its been far to long. Perhaps I shall post about that little road trip after it happens.

Everybody's working for the weekend...
So people stop me on the street and ask me, "What do you do with your life?" (this is a total fabrication, but I needed a lead in)
So after driving close to 14 hours down back roads the day after Christmas I arrive back in sunny FL, ready (though perhaps unwilling) to start work the next day. Here are the results. This ladies and gentlemen, is my first semi official lighting design. It was just a small 1 - 1/2 man show, with a modded plot from the show we closed before Christmas since I had 1.5 days with ~5 hours of tech with actors to make lights and sound work.
This all to say...
In other news it's now 2008, and I have resolutions for the first time I can remember. Usually, at least from what I understand, resolutions fail miserably. People get all excited about a new year and make promises to themselves they don't keep. Thanks a lot human nature, we all appreciate it...
Oh well we shall see shall we not.
