this week I met my third lawyer that wants to leave it all behind and start a new life full of art and/or music. Literally, quit their jobs at x and y firm and hit the streets seeking graphic design jobs, gallery internships, live band gigs and artist assistantships (is that even a word? Maybe I just spelled it incorrectly-assistanceships?)

is being a lawyer just...

having been blessed with a life in which I have been always able to pursue my art, I will say this about "civilians" who dream about the life... yes, we artists live our life below the "Hummer" income level... yes, we are often seen as the fringe freaks of society... yes, we are often seen as emotionally & socially unstable... yes, we are often not noticed or "valued" until after we are dead...
but, we live our lives in the service of creating beauty & truth... for this reason, what we do is unique in this world... plus it's alot of fun on the good days... kinda like living your life on permanent playtime mode... & we may not get more booty but we get better booty wink

oh.. and I would have totally gotten you in for the show... sorry I didn't make the offer before
love & lollies

Someone needs to come up with a an internet radio station that only plays music that is suitable for the workplace (won't piss off or annoy your boss and is tolerable at the least for you.) Though I'm not even sure what genre that would be, in my case- since I can't seem to figure out much about my bosses at all...

Which is a...

Today I hope while I am leisurely strolling along I happen upon a digital point and shoot in fine working order with my name on it, just lying there on the street waiting for me. Yep, that's what's gonna happen today.

Coffee ice cream. One scoop, and another. The green mug gets frosty on the outside. I turned off all the lights. ninety-nine cent white candles burning in tall glass jars. Stirring the sweets like potion. Softer. Softer. Stuck on the spoon, I put it in my mouth. . Softer. Drop it out of my mouth back into the mug one second later. A guilty pleasure...

Went to see an AMAZING show lat night and catch up with an old friend from D-Town (that's Detroit for the non-Michiganders.) The show was Dillinger Escape Plan and my friend was covering bass in a D-Town band called Heads Will Roll. And as a testament to the fact that the D-scene is about as close knit as you can get, the guitar player was...

hmmmm...what should I name my fake band?


some work got published this week so that's nice. Helping a friend hang her show on Sunday. My cat looks really cute right now- I am in dire need of a digital camera. HAHA, and I'm so broke right now I am going to leave early for work with a ziploc baggie full of cereal so I can...

I need to sell a Canon D60. Where did you publish? Do we get to see this work?
filthgeek:
since emo seems to be the big money maker these days, i suggest you try and capitalize off that. the usual formula is 3 words (in no particular order); one describing an emotion (preferable something sad or depressing), another using the name of a month, day, or season, and the last is just a catchy noun to tie the other words together.

for example: tuesday night agony, autumn depression kids, broken hearted morning, or whiney weak days.

try your own! its fun!

Dear Damien (a real band, not my proposed MySpace made-up band) is playing tonight at the Cat Club on Sunset Blvd, next to the Whisky. They're pretty rad, so you should go. I think they play around ten.

I'm considering making up a fake band and putting a picture of a femme-fatale on it on MySpace so I can have eighty zillion million superfluous friends. I'll email them and send them flyers every week like it's a real band and fabricate a massive fan base seething with admiration and when the major labels come knockin' they'll be sad to see it was all...

Yesterday was the ceremony for the grant. It was supa. My mom was adorable. However, I have been deathly (as in on my death bed) ill all week and so I had to drag my cadaver in there and try to look like I belong to the land of the living. Blech. Though bittersweet, I don't mind. I don't really like sweet stuff. And I'm...

You sure it wasn't the tempeh curry? I guess if you didn't have too many stomach issues it might have been something else. But with the pukeing I would say bad tempeh or the tofu went bad. (Which is strange to me b/c that stuff seems to last a long time.) Also sounds like the flu. Weird.

I like the last possible note. hehe Hope you feel better.

Actually it sounds like you've contracted the rare and mystic solonen virus. in the sixth day of incubation you will awake a zombie, and raise an army of living dead. good luck with that! and so much for the grant.


And, I have used the "have you been puking? me too! lets talk." posting on craigslist, and lets just say I don't think the kind of responses I got are what you'd be looking for. yeah. lets just leave it at that...
