Plays & Playing.

Yes­ter­day wasn’t very pro­duc­tive. Got back from Audrey about the job, I def­i­nitely still have it, and we offi­cially start work next week. That’s good. I tried to install a few plu­g­ins for mak­ing some extra cash and mak­ing the biz work a lit­tle more smoothly. The AMM Ama­zon plu­gin was one of them, I just need to make a new tem­plate. I’m always try­ing to get away from the A-Store, for the same rea­sons I like to run my own blog. I guess I’m some­thing of a control-freak when it comes to this stuff. I also tried to do the PrestoGifto Cafe Press plu­gin again, and I couldn’t get it to work, again. The third has some promise, Instinct’s E-Commerce plu­gin. I’ve played with it before, it has so much to it, it’s like adding a whole other pro­gram that just hap­pens to use the Word­Press admin area. My main prob­lem was that I was try­ing to do 3 things at once. I did get some groovy “a pixel’s a pixel” prod­ucts on my Cafe Press store. I’ll have to add a link.

Need to do some­thing to the index page. I think I may just con­dense EVERYTHING into word­press pages, now that I’m get­ting into mak­ing new tem­plates. I def­i­nitely think I’ll make Word­press my spe­cialty. Oh, and truejeska.com also redi­rects here now. I just couldn’t let it go.

Today is my first Holzer-Free day. And since we’re fast approach­ing the end of school, I’ll be spend­ing it putting together my Art His­tory port­fo­lio & writ­ing my paper on Time Man­age­ment for Well­ness (that’s a laugh– I told him that was a good sub­ject for me), then my social-interraction for the day so I don’t get crazy-cabin-fever. Bro­ken Up play prac­tice at 4, then a bunch of us are going to Park­ers­burg to pre­view Civil War (This Year’s Sum­mer Musical.)

I’m glad I’m doing Bro­ken Up, it’s a small com­edy with a per­fect rehearsal sched­ule & it’s giv­ing me a warm-up after my year-long the­atre break. It’s also offi­cially put me in Shift­ing Stage, besides “offi­cial graphic designer.” Michelle actu­ally wrote a play with me, Steve, Eric & JD in mind– I just got done read­ing it, it’s weird. You can totally tell it was writ­ten for us. The main girl’s name is Jessie and she’s a 23 year old the­atre major, the main guy is Adam, and he’s a 28 year old work­ing on his Eng­lish Mas­ters. Had to change our majors from Art & Opera to not make it “too” obvi­ous, I guess.

Okay– so I’m totally avoid­ing my Art His­tory port­fo­lio. I have a lot of notes to trans­fer to InDe­sign. Off I go…

The End.
