10 years ago
Posted By Kathleen David on August 22, 2004
On a couple of blogs I read the bloggers were figuring out what they were doing 10 years ago. I thought I would give it a try as well and found out some interesting things.
1994 was a pretty quiet year for me over all. I was the Production Stage Manager at Georgia Ensemble Theater and did some additional stage managing at the Horizon Theater. I taught several courses in puppetry in association with GET to both adults and kids. I became the museum carpenter at the Center for Puppetry Arts. It was always fun to load in and out the traveling exhibits. I was working tech at DragonCon. I was working at Oxford comics and occasionally filling in at the bookstore. I still miss Oxford Books even though I am living up here in New York. I especially miss the second hand bookstore which had so many cool books come through it. I got first shot at most of the puppetry books and built up a lot of my collection from there. My roommate was Katie and we had a very nice apartment just north of the perimeter in Atlanta. The only problem was a flea infestation that came from the neighbors dog and house. It was a successful year overall since I spent more time doing theater than anything else. It was in 1995 that many things changed for me.
What was I doing ten years ago? The same thing I do every ten years or so, Pinky. TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!
Bwhaahaaahaa….That was Funny EClark. Have you seen the site that is all the Pinky and the Brain “Are you pondering what I am pondering” lines?
Let’s see, 10 years ago I was earning the nickname of Pinky from the woman who in now my fiance.
I graduated HS in 1994, went to college in the fall. Beth (my fiance) was wearing a Weird Al t-shirt, so I just had to go up and talk to her. We became fast friends. One day shortly thereafter, right during the middle of a conversation, she turns to me and asks “Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering?” I respond instantly (in Pinky’s voice) with “I think so Brain, but me and Pippi Longstocking? What would the children look like?” That’s how I got the nickname. Then we actually started dating last year, and got engaged this year.
Sorry Kath, don’t know the site. Got a link?
On a more serious note, ten years ago, I was trying to get more serious about my writing, but I was also working two jobs. This year, a week ago as a matter of fact, I sent my first screenplay ever off to be entered into two screenwriting competitions. it would be nice if I won, but really, I’m just trying to get past the first rounds right now.
One more thing… Food Network is having a week long tribute to Julia Childs coming up in case you’re interested.
Try this. Google’s such a wonderful thing.
