I think he was thinking I could get costumes from the theatre, but we costume college boys, so we do not have anything this size. Also, since 2 of the men are small shouldered and just have big guts, the suits that fit their guts need MAJOR alterations in the shoulder area.
I know, for him, it is the trying that is important, not the success, but I do so little designing I really hate for people to see something that looks like crap. It is also just too late to scrap and start over.
I lost it last week when he wanted to add 4 more robots.
The robots/1920s mix is interesting, to say the least.
I think you have to be completely honest with him about the limitations.
Yeah, time for some straight talk.
Well, there was a cat on my porch. I can smell him. But since Loki's calmed down to just sniffing obsessively, he's gone. It didn't spray, but posturing (unfixed) male cats do put out a serious stink when they are posturing...
So I met with the cook/PA for my folks, and my mother, who was nearly hysterical when I arrived. The woman is a former executive chef who, when the economy tanked, got her CNA and now does PA/general support for the elderly. She has a bunch of different clients and seems really flexible and level-headed.
After much talking and much repetition (if she didn't know Mom was demented, she does now), we agreed to a one-week trial and then, depending, three dinners a week.
The amount of emotional energy I'm putting into this is waaay out of proportion to the benefit gained, I am forced to acknowledge.
I hope it works out, Consuela. I think the long term benefit (just another set of eyes) will end up more, but the emotional scales don't play with the practical.
Holy Moly! R.A. Dickey threw another one-hitter. He's 11-1 with an ERA of 2.00. That's ridic.
And now I'm thinking of the movie
Big Hand for the Little Lady.
I seriously don't even know what to do.
Aw, Sophia. Just tell the guy what you just told us. He clearly doesn't have a clue what he's really asking you to do, or how hard it is.
This kind of stressful crap is the reason why I now stop myself from offering to do favors for people. And I do mean "stop myself", because the impulse to "help" is strong in this ACOA girl.
