So the first play I will be working on with the Caesar Rodney Thespian Society is Peter Pan. This is pretty exciting because A: I love Peter Pan, I’m sure it’s had some influence on my life in general, and B: it has some intese sets. And I’m building all of them (with some help).

My job currently is to blueprint each set, see what materials we will need (ahhh guesstimates) and to start building the first set. I don’t want to talk about what the sets are, or what my designs are, because… well… come see the bloody show if you want to find out, but I will talk about how hard they are going to be to build.

I have my work cut out for me, but I’m excited. This will be extremely fun, and I had a blast working on the Arsenic and Old Lace set, figuring out how to solve some of the… challenges we had (ah building a second story and grandfather clock…). It was a lot of fun, and I can’t wait to tackle some of the challenges in these sets either.

So if you see me complaining about trying to build something insane, keep inmind why… and remind me of this post :).

But let me tell you why!

The group I play D&D with have quickly become good friends to Crista and I, and we’ve started playing two nights a week. It’s good times, usually with some amusing antics. On one of the two nights we play, I am DMing a game, and I’ve been spending a lot of time working on that game. I’m calling it “Darker Tombs” and so far they’ve been fighting a decent amount of undead, and had some interesting puzzles to figure out. I have a few tricks up my sleeve to throw at them this week, so it should be fun. Once they finish the first adventure I will probably post a summary of it on here.

I’ve also been working on becoming employed, which is not as easy as it sounds, but I’ll save that whole story till I get the details ironed out (which should be tomorrow *crosses fingers*).

In addition to both of these things, the school season here has started (today in fact), which means the new Caesar Rodney Thespian Societies season is beginning, which means I’m back to work building sets. My next post will be more in detail about this, so I wont babble much about it, but let’s just say I have my work cut out for me. All I’ll say is that the plays this seasons are Peter Pan and The Sound of Vomit Music. While I rather dislike The Sound of Music it’s one of my father’s favorites, and it will be a great show… and I love Peter Pan, so… woo!

So that’s what’s been keeping my busy these days, and will be keeping me busy for the next few months, but I’ll be posting more, promise.
