8 Months of Silence

Wow.

You know, I occassionaly think about how I never update but I didn't realize I hadn't written anything since January. Where has the time gone?

Pretty much only two places.



1. Work

I feel like I've been working a lot. And earning less. Which, for the record, is a real bitch. I, regrettably, work on commission and I could smell this damn recession coming a mile away. Before our commander in chief in chief even uttered the phrase "economic slow-down," I knew things were going to get worse before they got better. I think it's usually a safe bet to disagree with our current president.

But I came to an epiphany not too long ago. That I can't work these shitty sales jobs any longer. So I got my ass in gear and put together a graphic design portfolio, video demo reel, and photography portfolio. The photography portfolio is more of an addendum, just to show I have some other talents and I put it all onto a DVD which looks pretty spiffy if I do say so myself.

I printed some resumes and cover letters and sent them to various places. I've had one interview so far. Cross your fingers.



2. Theatre

I was in one of the most amazing, rewarding shows I've ever done and one of the most taxing, trying, frustrating shows I've ever done. The former was an improvised musical slightly based on RENT, the latter was the unbiquitous Hamlet. I'm trying not to think of it too much, because I only have another week of shows. Perhaps I'll divulge more following.



The last four weeks have also been occupied by getting paid to eat. Yes, you read correctly, getting paid to eat. It was part of cancer research study and I'm so glad to be done with it. In 5 weeks I will resume the study on a different diet. More on the next entry.
