Well, that was pretty anticlimactic. A few days ago my friends were talking over dinner, and jen told me about the props department. It had come up because, that afternoon, I hadd gone over and borrowed a small desk lamp to use in a film I’d been making from the tekkies, who are in charge of props. Jen had described it as an alladins cave, full of cool stuff like guns and swords and tutus. So this afternoon I went over, looking forward and wondering what I might find.

Tony, my friend from last year, now works with the tekkies. I told him what I was doing, and what I wanted to see. He replied that, since I was no longer in the contemporary art department, I wasn’t allowed to borrow anything, but it wouldn’t hurt to let me look. The store is housed in the basement, so I had to get out of my chair and go down some rather steep stairs. Once there, I was unimpressed – it was just a lot of junk. I looked for the guns and swords, but there didn’t appear to be any. No tutus either. I felt rather cheated!

Meh. Seems the highlight of my day is a trip down some stairs. I need a break from uni.
