Happy 11/11/11 11:11:11
Corduroy appreciation day/day I make wishes that my life won't be so fucking boring all the time.

That's not fair, though. I think things are looking up. It seems like I may be co-producing my first horror feature in 2012. I just need to really suggest a second read through of the script... There are a lot of things that really should be cut out. Yikers.

My boyfriend is randomly in Sudbury for some boring NDP convention and I'm lonely/worried/dumb. I haven't seen him since Halloween and all we did was argue. I think I might become an IRC addict again so I actually have someone to talk to.

Tomorrow I am going to a going away party that I planned. A good friend is moving to Prague. I'm glad to be getting out of the house. Then I have work (at the Museum) on Sunday. Sundays at work are really weird and boring if there aren't any tours happening.


derr derr derr this isn't going under a cut dill wit it

Derf, I haven't posted on here in forever. I guess everything is alright. I graduated and I just got a part time job working at a museum. I'm debating going unionized for grip/electric. I am also debating going to get a post-grad next fall.

I am still in a relationship that teeters between miserable and awesome, nothing new.

I'm still a massive geek.

I may have just landed a PA role on a Bruce McDonald documentary. Excuse me while I pass out!

In other recent news, I won a small film grant from my school for my thesis project. I feel really good right now.

I guess I'm starting to come to terms with the idea that my life comes and goes in BURSTS. Its like I'm super busy and active for a short burst of time then I'm stagnant for a while. The downtime is relaxing I suppose.

I still don't have a job, but I've crewed on a few shoots. I've got a few more coming up and some summer classes I'm taking are coming soon (Espionage: A 20th Century History, Gothic horror - coolest classes ever right?).

My boyfriend is becoming a pretentious snob about the stupidest things. Its annoying me to no end and I confronted him about it... He claims he's playing to a "caricature". Isn't that a little schizo? Ugh.

I haven't lost a single pound since I started working out. I guess I'm destined to have ill fitting clothes for the rest of my life. Bawww.


That's about it for now.

I cut the s*** out of my hair.


it doesn't actually always look like this, though. ART.*~*~

Oh yeah, so this is a little summer project of mine. I appear to have hopped the etsy bandwagon...
I'm selling some of the jewelry that my great aunt Pauline has given me/my family. There are some really cool pieces ranging from the 30s to the 80s.
Check it out if you're interested in vintage/kitschy pieces! I'll be adding more as I get the time to do so.

J read my hexagrams today, it felt so Man in High Castle.
I've been struggling with the fact that my epic seppuku film is most likely not going to be made so I consulted the I Ching to seek advice, sorta. I'm so not into this new age*~*~*~ shit but whatever.

My hexagrams were 23 transitioning into 19.


23 - "Collapse"
Support is unstable. (darkness overcoming light) Don't start on  any new ventures. Eliminate old ideas and habits that do not serve you.

A mountain emerges, crumbling the earth around it.

19 - "Approaching"

Move toward what is approaching (light) without expecting to get what you want immediately; welcome the approaches of others and persevere.

The earth slowly sets above the lake.



SO.
Basically its telling me to abandon my ideas, work as a miserable crew member on other peoples' productions and push through it. Fucking hell.
