Are you familiar with the saying:
“Aim High. At least that way you won’t shoot yourself in the foot.”
Prior to this past week, I’d have said I aimed at least as high as most. Now I’m beginning to wonder if I need glasses, or maybe a level.
I suppose there’s no reasonable way I could have known that the kitchen drain was going to suddenly lose that most important attribute of drains everywhere, specifically draining1. Likewise, there really wasn’t any way I could have known that my tire was going to tire of it’s oh so common shape and try something with a bit more eccentricity2. And, how could I have predicted that the power would go out as I was putting the finishing touches on everything, aside from the alarming correlation between putting the finishing touches on stuff for The Schmee, and power outages at my house.
On the other hand, I could have spent less time trying to be clever in my previous post, and more time working on the photos. (BANG!) It would also have been a good idea, when last I reinstalled all of my software, to make sure that my (relatively minimal) color management was still working. (BANG!) I certainly could have taken better notes the last time I did this (or the time before), so I would realize how long it was really going to take to process all the data. (BANG!)
In any event, now my tires are round, my drains do, my color is managed, my photos are processed, and despite the fact that it’s a half a week later than I expected, the photos are where they belong.
Anyone seen my toes?
p.s. Just so there’s an excuse for posting this on the Theater Schmeater blog, here’s a few photos from the show, that hopefully don’t give anything away. Apologies for the lack of captioning. I barely know what the character names are, and haven’t a clue what the actor’s names are.
1Anyone know why the drain clogs when it’s time to cook dinner? I mean, nothing says “Dinner Time!” like cleaning out the kitchen drain.
2Now I know why egg shaped wheels never made it.
