Wow, how silly was that for me to post a blog with no text. Hm.
Anyway, I shall keep this short since I'm afraid if I type anything lengthy, it will become nothing but cold, penetrable words, and nobody wants to read about that.
It has felt much like a slow week except for the amounts of water coloring I am so famously known for not doing until the last minute. But I have a good feeling these sketches will turn out better than my last design sketches (which I still need to post up. Hm.)
Other than a severe swing of depression every day, the only thing that has seemed to be the high light and uplifting thing of this week was seeing a run-through for Alice Through the Looking Glass.
Such...SUCH an adorable play. I am so grateful to be working on such a fantastic show with such fantastic actors. When I get the permission and find the resources, I shall post pictures of the numerous amount of zany costumes being put to innocent use.
So I hope everybody else's week has been going better and I hope y'all have a fantastic next week as well! Later~

1/21: Exploratory Week
Well, not entirely, but I felt as though this week's title could use a little more flare.
But in all honesty, this week has been a little bit more of an exploring new talents sort of week. The nice thing about not having enough brain space for people is that it leaves more room for projects I always needed to get done (i.e. art, costume constructions, crafts, etc.). There is only so much time before I call in my wardrobians to the first tech run for Alice Through the Looking Glass.
So many of you might be asking: Hannah! What does a Wardrobe Supervisor do?!
Well, it's simple. I make sure everybody is not naked. Ta-da!
No, there's more to it than that. It's a wardrobian's job to coordinate quick changes, prepare the costumes to appear according to the Designer's original intent (that means no lint, no wrinkles; it must be perfect like the movies!), aid the actors with their costumes and come up with quick solutions to quick problems (ripped seams, crushed hats, etc.) And so, why does this position seem to be overpowering?
Well there are six actors and thirty-six roles.
...I think that's all I really need to say about it.
In other news, classes are going well, so I've also had enough head space for academics, regardless of my assignments only being drawing, construction, and Chinese grammar.
Honestly, I can't explain my reasoning for not being as sociable as before. Perhaps because the house I reside in is infamous for hosting over ten people within a given weekend. Or maybe because I'm sharing a room like I'm back in the dorms...?
I cannot tell, but for now I only have to take it one step at a time.
I hope y'all are having a fantastic week and have plans for an even brighter tomorrow! Later~

1/14: Wow
It's the beginning of 2011 and already I have become placate with my blog updates. I'm terribly sorry, all.
I suppose this is what happens when my schedules just goes all over the place.
In all honesty, I'm not taking that many classes this term due to finances: Costume Design II, Costume Construction II and Chinese 202, with my theatre practice being Wardrobe Supervisor for SOU's Alice Through the Looking Glass. However, with the open schedule it leaves for more room to plan ahead.
As of late I have been taking up art commissions (somebody actually asked for one, I am talented again!), planning for the future and sending out resumes and applications for summer internships. So far my luck has been in the Pacific Northwest with housing and payment, and though I do realize not all internships require a stipend, I don't think I'd fair well in pitching a tent while working for a theatre company outside of my own state.
So, for the most part, I am still looking hard for potential work places in the near future.
Despite the lucid scheduling in my life, I feel somewhat brain dead. At least around people. I've started to become more and more socially awkward that perhaps a life of solitude is really the way to go. In the woods? With my own stage show for the children of a thriving lumber town?
...We'll see. But for the time being, I have to increase my intelligence somehow. Maybe by taking up classic literature. I'm not really sure yet.
Anyway, I hope all of you are fairing better than I and I hope y'all have a good weekend ahead of you! Later~
