Fun fact: I'm currently in rehearsal and they are choreographing 'Contact'. Excellent background music, I do say. SO MUCH S&M.
In other news, I've attempted to maybe start a little bit of a slight workout... thingy. Which has mostly been prompted by the copious amounts of Matt & Kim I have recently acquired (Shpanks, Emma!). They just make a good beat for it! It makes my abs hurt. A lot. But it feels really good after, and it might even start to help me sleep better. Woo!
I've discovered that it's cheaper to buy water from the fountain drinks thingy. I save about $2 each time cuz I only pay 15¢ for the cup, as opposed to the $2.35 for a water bottle. I've been drinking a lot of water lately, and less soda.
It's Rosh Hashana this weekend, so that means four day weekend and the room to myself! Not too shabby. Mostly I've been watching a bunch of tv shows online that my friend blogged about. She's really where I get most of my new tv shows. And it's the fall, so a bunch of the ones I usually watch are starting up again. I are excite.
It's gotten to a point that my cast members will wave to me whenever they see me in the halls. It actually makes me feel super cool. Mostly the other ASMs and I will sit on the periphery watching them rehearse, or doing our own thing. Our stage manager always has everything under control, so we are really only here to do the heavy lifting. Not that I mind - my biceps are turning out quite nice. But it would be nifty if we had a little more interaction with the cast. It's hard not to feel a little inconsequential during the early days, as all we do is sit around. I know that things will pick up once we get into tech week and the actual performances, and I'm certainly having fun watching the cast. I feel pretty cool getting to see everything early - makes me feel exclusive.
We've been doing some perspective and figure drawing in theatre design, and I feel like bragging a little. I've always been a decent hand at drawing, and I enjoy drawing too. But with the addition of actual instructions and tricks of the trade, I've gotten a lot better. Now my people are actually proportionate and look realistic!
Aside: on break various cast members were singing 'Breakin Free' from 'High School Musical', and now the guy playing Benny is instructing three ensemble members on the various positions one may come across in a threesome. Welcome to rehearsal for RENT, please leave your dignity, discomfort and qualms at the door. In the words of one of my awesome co-ASMs, 'it's an all you can eat buffet.'
Other than my random musings, I don't believe I have much more to say. Life is good, classes are going well, rehearsal is pretty much my favourite time of the day save for bedtime. I got to wear a scarf today! Granted, it was fairly thin and purely decorative, but still. It wasn't as insanely humid and hot as it has been, so I thought that warranted a scarf, dammit!
