Attenetion all peoples and associates of peoples:

Greatest artist ever (bar The Beatles, NOFX, The Format, and Tom Waits) = Charlotte Martin.

Heard her for the first time the other day and she is flippin’ awesome. Just thought I should share.

Now down to buisness;

Why don’t anteaters get sick? Because they’re full of anty-bodies!

Say it with me now; “Lol”.

Directing
Nothing much on the directing front again, since we mainly did set construction and a little bit of Void based acting. I’ve gone through the script and found all the places we need bamboo sticks for the memories and made a list of how big each one needs to be so Jordy can have a bit of an idea of what we’re looking for.

* 4 X Short, fat sticks (to be used as handle bars on 4 bikes)
* 5 X Long, fat sticks (to be used as trees, ores, spears, walls of a house, sides of a sand pit, rails on the tube, and scythes)
* 1 X Short stick of medium fatness (to be used as a blowpipe)
* 2 X Long sticks of medium fatness (to be used as the ropes on a swing)
* 2 X Medium length, fat stick (to be used as a walking stick for the elder on page 51-53, and as branches comming off the main tree that Ketu hangs himself on)

When I say “medium fatness”, I mean fatter than our drama room bamboo sticks, but not as fat as the ones in the picture bellow. The ones in the picture bellow are how fat I want the “fat” ones to be. And for the walking stick / branches, the should be about Jordy’s waist height which will be just about naval height for Tash, which is perfect while still being short enough to be the branches.

So, yeah, most of them need to be about the fatness of those above.

Acting
I’m suprising myself at how well Im learning my lines, I nearly have them all down. Everyone on who’s comming to musical camp who’s doing acting, bring your scripts, nothing more fun then rehearsing between rehearsals… am I right, or am I right? For all the poor kids who haven’t been on musical camp before, you’re in for a shock. The amount of work you do is crazy, and the sleep you get is minimal. It’s pretty full on. But, yeah, Acting is comming along well. Oh and my mother just informed me that her next work function will be at our play. Yep, my mother and about 10 of her work colleagues will be comming to watch us. Terrifying. Yeah not much to report on this week, so I’ll wrap it up here.

Au revoir mes ami.
