meh. so im supposed to go to nyc this week, and yesterday i'm sick with this stomach virus and this morning, well, sinus ache baby! i'm thinking it's not meant, but i REALLY wanted to get out there to see some loved ones. plus my meetings looks like it's gonna happen next week instead of this week, so i suppose it's meant but STILL.

auditions are tomorrow. for the indie film i'm working on. yay. should be fucktons of people there. i'm auditioning too, but really i'm doing this so i can get some good directing knowledge (cheaper than a $4500 class at Emerson, and experience with a relatively higher budget flick is good...more technogadgets to learn).

i'm anxious in a good way. its funny i feel like i'm...

i was thinking about what to write here, to update on my life, and then i realized there wasn't one thing i was going to write about that didn't include something about my projects. something to ponder.

and the monkey. god bless monkies.

okay, i'm leaving the lab on sunday, 7pm. this crazy annoying crap is done for the day. i'm starving like a crazed monkey bc i've started working out again (trying to do that "balance" thing to avoid loss of sanity).

yoga--people tell me to do it, but the devotion people have to it is cultish. also my married friends are doing it as couples,...

whoa nelly it's another hot one. days like this remind me of why i didn't join the US Army...marching in Georgia heat/humidity with 80lbs of gear is not my idea of a fun way to spend 8 weeks. or whatever.

AC in the lab rules. happily doing some technician work with this circuit i'm building. problems with primary diagnostic board, hope it gets resolved. we're...

okay.

one of the more trying days of my life. brutal. stressful. i'm exhausted, although its funny--the more brutal the day, the better you feel at the end of it for having survived it without (a) self-medicating, and (b) running down the street wtih a machete.

blargh.

:-(

today is not a good day. not at all. nothing is ever easy is it? well, except me. *rowr*
^----self-depricating humor. hahah.

im proud of myself. w/ my kerazy sciency experimental lifestyle i primarily subsist on canned foods. however, my friend trina is coming to the rescue by teaching me quick/easy recipes. i have a pot pie in my fridge which is the fruit of last night's labor. ALSO, tofu. i know its really healthy, but it CAN taste good--i KNOW it can. i'm going to find...

i was really looking for something OTHER than work/school to talk about, and i couldn't find anything, especially w/ all the bitter bitching id like to do. mainly i was looking for jobs and begain to bang my head against the wall. so much to do...so little time.

on a happy note, Draft 4 was printed (and i miraculously caught 12 typos before it went)...
