My mind is a bit scrambled right now, but I'm fighting my way through because I can't lose momentum on the things I want to work on. First project is an updated look for Totalie and Trulie. I wanted to thrift for the costumes, he wanted them custom made. So we are getting them custom made, which is really great.
We picked through 1940's style patterns on Simplicity. I was happy to see they has a website since I haven't enjoyed going to Joann Fabrics for some time now. The men's selection of patterns was sad. Why can't men's clothing be as varied as women's? So sad. But I found the pants and blouse I was looking for, for me and a double breasted vest for Totalie so we are in business. We feel the 1940's look is more mature and in keeping with our comedy style.
I was able to get the patterns picked out, but working on my numbers for the shows on January 20th, 27th and 28th has been challenging. My mind wont focus and none of the music is solidifying any ideas. That happens when my brain is like this. It's like trying to hold onto one of these:
keeps slipping out of my hands
I still get frustrated with myself when that happens, but I am trying to just let it be. There's nothing I can do to make it stop. It just eventually stops. (then comes back)
Sometimes when I am really down like this, dreaming helps. I think about all the things that I really wish could happen for me. This time around, some friends posted they had a space available for rent and I contacted them about it, only to realize how much I don't have my act together. Instead of letting it stop me, I should get it together-business numbers-projected income-this and that. I really need to crack down on the actual business side of this. The creative side is just so much more interesting though. :) Nothing seems to want to work right now so I have to sit and let it all break.
