Last Week+Duluth

You might not think that scenic painting is exercise, but you'd be wrong.

I was helping out Eric Gustafson at the UMD Theater: I was a scenic painter & carpenter there through work study all 4 years in college.

It might not actually make you lose any weight (mostly because of the donuts littering the Scene Shop as a way to lure in potential free labor) but it is exercise:

Standing on Concrete= ALWAYS exercise + Furiously slapping 2 colors of wet paint together= kind of exercise + 42 FOOT by (about) 42 FOOT giant flat= Yes. Exercise.

Flat= a FLAT piece of scenery that is usually a fake wall or the like. This case: a Giant Picture Frame.

Who knew how to paint a giant picture frame? Me. Well, not actually. I screwed up the shadowing. But I did make sure they used the right painting process.

On that note, I have now been christened "The Paint Alchemist." I turned brown, green, and yellow into gold. It was fun.

Enough about the theater.

This is totally lame: I was too nervous to go to Tai Chi at the Copper Top Church (in Duluth) on Sunday! I'm so silly!

Reason #1: I'm uncoordinated.

Reason #2: All of my boyfriend's friends are there. And they are boys.

Reason #3: I don't take directions well, as said boyfriend pointed out. :)

Reason #4: I'm uncoordinated.

I'm going next time. There. It's on the internet: now I have to. I will report back after May 2nd.

P.S. I wish it wasn't cold and rainy, because i want to go for a run today. I will go to Anytime Fitness, but my spring fever is kicking in hardcore. But not hardcore enough to run in the rain.
