Subject Selection, Showmaster, Sholto Shares and More S's... 5107-1838-013

Subject selection has come around again, and the year is certainly not slowing down!!
I pretty much have all my subjects set out for next year, just a few minor things I have to work out..

For those of you who care:

• Eng
• Legal (3+4)
• Revs (3+4 obv)
• Theatre Studies (hehe)
• Dunno What Else

Another outstanding event that happened today was that I fixed (Yes, "I") the Showmaster in D2.... Well technically it wasn't broken, we just couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work until I realized the minipaks weren't turned on.......
Now all the lights are set up for tomorrows drama performance which should be interesting.
(Also during my D1 class (ask me why I have D1+D2) today, we reenacted a performance of "Three Little Pigs" but with a Detroit-Style ganster twist...).

For those of you playing at home, You will be either pleased (or displeased depending on house) to find out that I have UTTERLY AND TOTALLY SCREWED SHOLTO 10's SHARES.
I missed the day 2 days ago, so I lost a fair bit of money, then yesterday got my shares confused and sold the wrong ones, then bought them back again today but they dropped like $3.00!!
Garr!!! Oh well, there's always next year.

That's it for the S's today, however I'll keep you posted if any others appear.

It's All Over. 5067-1600-012

With the final night of "Inheritance" on Friday night, Another chapter of this year comes to a close.

For the year 12's in the Tech Crew, it was their final School Play, and it's a very scary thought that the next SP won't have them here. (I'm sure that they will come and help out though).

The night went really well, with everyone putting in a stellar performance (even dare I say it?? the actors.) The only glitch that occurred was the misinterpretation that happened during scene 12 of act two, where I said 7:4 and 6:9, which Hawley thought meant 7:4 + 4:9...
Well what happened was that the Cyc went absolutely mad, going Blue>*BRIGHT* Red>Blue.

Other than that, the night was a great success, and I'm certainly looking forward to "Fame".

[Below is a series of photos showing what happened with the City Colors].

Have a good weekend (Or what's left of it).

Week.. End?? What is this you speak of?? 4297-2203-010

18 days. That's the record. That's how many days we, the lighting Techies have been at school without a break. To all who survived, Congratulations!

Anyway, on with it shall we?

"Inheritance", the most un-anticipated play in history has finally begun! After ironing out a few crinkles on night one (mainly the appearance of scene 5 before scene 4...) Night two went fairly well. Hawley (as mentioned in his blog) started purposely trying to catch the backstage set spinners in the light, and he managed to do so a few times!!

I really enjoyed my weekend, which consisted of me doing absolutely nothing on Saturday and going to the movies today with JD to see "Shooter". If you haven't seen it yet, see it, it's fantastic! It has 3 fantastic things: Snow (Lots of Snow), Guns (Lots of Guns) and...... Danny Glover (off Lethal Weapon).

It has a heap of sniping which is really good, because there hasn't been a half-decent sniping movie since... well... Sniper.

AND, to top it all off..... In the opening credits, it says "Based on the novel 'Point of Impact', written by STEPHEN HUNTER"!!!! Wow.

School's back tomorrow, and I've missed so much work which I have to catch up on, but no worries, it was worth it.


Talk to you soon,

13 And Counting... 4237-1912-009

I am totally stuffed.

I (along with the rest of the god-like tech crew) have been at school for 13 days straight, and it really knocks you about [Yeah yeah JD, I know I do hardly any physical work.... roof bitch:p].

Firstly, "Inheritance" is coming along at a steady pace, with all the lights rigged, focused and patched!!! The City Colors are a pain in the ass as whenever we want to crossfade, it fades through bright white which is odd considering some of the scenes are set at night...

Saturday we got a hell of a lot done as the actors (grr) took the day off, so we got to hang lights and other do other techiemagical things! We spent today from lunch onwards programming the board (well Luke programmed and we all commented on his lack of City-Color crossfading ability), so I missed out on Science and InterPol. Bugger.

On another note, I got a visit from Lynchy in Math today, as he wanted to know what sport I was down for in winter because it said Baseball, but it's only a summer sport. I don't think he realized THAT I'M CRIPPLED!!!!! He still insisted that I pick a sport, so I chose Soccer, but I'm thinking of changing to Hockey because (as Hawley pointed out) it's a lot like Ice Hockey.

Tomorrow we have a dedicated Tech rehearsal for the play, and I get my new phone!!!!!!!!!!
It's a 6288 (same as Matt Kennedy's, and the better version of James').

That seems to be it for post #9, but I'm sure I'll update you before Opening Night (this thursday btw).


Talk to you soon,
