Well dear readers, I have a little bit of bad news to report- PLAN A (of a 10×12 foot piece of sugar to go up on the walls) has not worked out so much.  It seems my mere wishing for arid climate in the room didn’t work out as much as I thought it did.  We (yes, I needed some mega help on this) moved the piece up to the wall only to have it break.  It seems that the middle wasn’t dry- even though the edges were as tough as nails.  And even though I have been mounting damp sugar this week- it was way to damp and it pulled itself apart.  I am however very proud of the non-melting down that I did…. no tears, not even a curse word (but I did give a piece that broke off in my hand a little toss of frustration). 

So PLAN B it is.  What else can I do, I guess?  SO it’s “onion paper” to save the day….. lots and lots of onion paper which isn’t a bad thing because I really love how it has been coming along.  See below.

So BIG transformations to happen today in the room.  I may regret this tonight- however I am taking the morning easy and going in at noon.  I’m a bit spent and need to feel fresh and up to it.  But I figure I can spend the morning plotting and scheming how to lick this thing and not make it an allnighter for the show’s opening.  Here’s a little bit of a secret: I do love a late night in the studio and seem to do well under a bit of pressure.  I don’t really want to make that my MO (is that how you would spell that out?).  I’m nervous since there is so much yet to be done…. however so much to be done that I have certainly done before (aside from mount a projector somewhere within a room).  I can do this, right!

OH and I do have to report- I did get the hang  of my video editing thing.  It may not be Avatar but it’s pretty close to what I wanted.  If I have time before the closing, I would redo it.  There is one missing component that I love but would have had to restart in order to apply it- live and learn though, right?  I’ll try to post a still later.  It’s really pretty….. oh and the funny thing is that I recorded my footage while watching Iron Chef.  I edited the imagery without sound so when I popped it into the dvd player last night, I listened to Alton Brown narrate my footage of “intended introspection.”  Hahahahaha…. Sorry, won’t be in the room for you to hear that.

Ok so I’m going to go chill a bit, drink some coffee, and watch a little tv before taking on this day.  And when was I going to get the memo it’s Daylight Savings Time?  Really?  Oh Father Time, I had no idea you were the trickster!

ps.  I’ve seen so much more traffic on my blog this week.  Thank you for reading!  Please feel free to comment away- I’m so happy to hear from you (and if you feel so inclined, pass along my blog to a friend- I do wax poetic from time to time which is far more interesting reading than the blow by blows of my day)
