More Stuff
Mar. 15th, 2005 08:06 amMy parents are visiting for a couple of days. They swear they will never drive back up here again. Between the traffic in Washington and New York, they really don’t think it is worth their time these days. I guess I am use to part of it so it doesn’t phase me as much as them but I do understand the frustration.
They brought some various items of mine they found in the basement. Included in this were my old make-up kit that my brother made for me many years ago and a filing cabinet with papers dating back to elementary school I believe. They also packed up my puppet supplies that had been in my father’s workshop. I now have to figure out where this stuff is going to go.
The make-up kit is a really nice kit. He made it out of plexiglass. It has all kind of nice compartment for make-up and prosthetics to make zombies. I have made a lot of zombies in my time. I need to go through it and toss the old makeup that can’t be used. I think if I clean it up I can turn it into something to carry all those fiddly bits I need for costuming.
The filing cabinet is like a time capsule to me and of me. It is my past in two drawers. Here there are my degrees from high school and college. I have plays I have done over the years which included some strange original ones. There are papers that were still relevant to me a number of years ago that may be less so now. I even found my journals from high school, college, and grad school. One of the more fun things in there was something I acquired at Yale. I was working crew on a new play by John Guare called “Moon over Miami.” John and I got to talking about a bunch of different stuff one day and he asked me to read his new play that he had just finished. They were going to do a reading of it later in the year but he wanted to have some feedback before the table read. I have a first draft of “Six Degrees of Separation” and I do know that he did use a few of my suggestions in subsequent drafts. I thought I had lost it in one of my many moves but there it is. I am hoping that there is a copy of the puppet play I wrote based on one of Neil Gaiman’s works which he gave me permission to do back in the early 90s.
I am grateful to have this stuff back in my life.
