two weeks ago, i was really worried that this may not work. well, it's up! yay. i am so lucky to have such an awesome boyfriend who spent the whole weekend helping me install my show. i feel so bad that he not only had to put up with my anxieties and feeling miserably sick during the install but he caught my cold and is now in bed.

funny how when i finish a project, it's not utter joy, but relief that i often feel--relief that i didn't set anything on fire and that the thing works. it's not perfect, but it is a lesson on how hard it is to obtain perfection. i still want to fix a few things. i'm already considering how i can make it better. unfortunately, this piece doesn't lend itself to being modified very easily. that's the problem with having something so well-defined at the start, and why i try to avoid that these days.

mike's rendering was hard to live up to. i'm not sure if it does. it's a whole different thing, but it is impressive to see it with the lights off in person. it's too bad my father couldn't see it.
