A month lost to mindlessness

I must aplogize for my absense the past several weeks. Life has given me other fish to fry and a challenge in prioritizing my frypan real estate.

Term Assignments and Exams
So, I had only two assignments to get through this semester; one chemistry and one in psychology. I'm happy to report that despite being unsure with how well I had done, the markers all concede I'm an A student. It took four years, and three bachelor degree programs, but I have finally earned a University-level A.

Mass Ex
The final production on the Ryerson Theatre main stage has, for the past couple decades, been the eclectic display of fashion created by the fourth year students in fashion.
I was very excited to see what these creative islands came up with, but I actually came to witness the effort of my divorced alumnus at the Theatre School. The set was more complex than I think was the vision. The main set peice was a branching skeleton resembling a tree - maybe a silver maple.
The wire frame, covered in translucent fabric somewhat stuck out past the edges. This interfered with the contrast the design was trying to acheive, but I feel that this wasn't lost on the team. Surrounding the tree's immediate base were large fabric colored flowers which would later open or 'bloom' during a blackout. Finally, the set integrated several paper globes suspended from the flys. Each element contained a color-changing LED element. This combined with the flying scenery allowed many combinations using the same elements.

Moving
Yes. I have succesfully packed up my studio. It has been compressed into a storage locker until sometime in August. It took several trips, but we're finally out of 50 Alexander.
