day 15- boom, boom, pow!

Well, another day at work, PAT testing is well on it's way ow, 2 days gone, one more to do, you would be surprised how long it takes to test everything that plugs into a socket in a theatre!  a few fails but on the whole, were pretty much set up for the new season, starting with full force next week.  It has given me chance to practice my plug rewiring/ attaching skills which I am getting quicker at finally, It's oddly therapeutic.  Other then that its allot of organising, cleaning, tidying, fixing and general maintenance.  In other news, galaxy cookie crumble is amazing!

Also, having somehow lost my book on bedlam in the theatre (history geek!), I managed to find Dawn of the Dumb by Charlie Brooker in the props storage weirdly, so reading that at work and Boy in the striped pyjamas. :)
Then home, I made chicken noodle soup and currently have my hair in curlers, just for the hell of it!  I'm off to Sheffield on Saturday as It's a friends birthday and it's the industrial night at corporation, which also co-insides with the Faderhead release party, so it should all be good :D  Also I get to see the boy, which is always the best!

Here's a lil game :)

Quote of the Day: " You can all come to London, to be in my vagina"- Elle MacPherson (well...sort of...)

"a dream is a wish your heart makes, when your fast asleep"

So i have this wierd habit, when i work alot or have alot to do. i dream about work, i go over and over things i need to do. I guess alot of people do this, but sometimes it really helps, i seem to have the ability to memorise things in my sleep.

For instance I'm one of those people who if i make a mistake at work, will own up to it and then beat myself up over for it for a while so i know i won't do it again, this has now transfered im to my sleep. In my dreams i can go over and over what i did wrong and how to do things so in the morning I know how to do it, wierd but useful

The pinicle of this recently was when i was Stage Managing for a touring company, first night we opened in Derby i hadn't had time to go over the changes in the technical script properly and as a result I gave a few incorect cues during the show. Anoyed with myself i went back to the place we were staying on tour, went to bed and in my sleep i somehow managed to memorise my technical script, in my head i went over and over, page by page, when i woke up I knew it off by heart, so strange!

I'm only talking about that now as last night i feel asleep reading "the lives of the English rakes" cause I'm a big nerd and I woke up with this poem going over and over in my head

God bless our good and gracious king,

Whose promise none relies on;

Who never said a foolish thing,

Nor ever did a wise one.

Nerd Points to whoever know's who wrote it and which King it was about!

In other news I Just bought wreck this journal, I haven't started it yet but I'm going to wait till I've stuck my other pics on here cause I want to document it on here :) it's gonna be awesome!

P.S sorry for there being no pics in this one, i tried but it just wont have it, someone show me how to work this thing!

Samuel Pepy's, inventer of the smiley face...oh and i think he also wrote a diary...

So recently i have just finished reading Samuel Pepy's diary, and as if that wasn't nerdy enough, i was nerdy enough to notice this:

That's right, it's official Samuel pepy's, inventor of the smiley face! 23rd of February, 1669, so it appears he did more then just record important events in restoration history, it appears he was the inventor of computer nerds!

In other news, i know i was going to blog about York, the problem is I have a new phone and it came without a connector, so all my photos are stuck on it, i ordered one on-line and have been trying to get it to work in the short time i have after work before i pass out and its been playing up, pictures are coming though in bits and peace's, hopefully soon i will manage to get them all up and i can show you my stuff and have more cam pictures in general on my blogs.

Also as of Monday my ridiculous work schedule calms down... dramaticly.....its like going from 100 miles an hour to slamming the breaks on, oh how i love the stability of the performing arts industry! Anyway what this does do is give me more time to blog!

hope you have a great weekend
