No pictures.

Unfortunately, due to some kind of technical snafu, my comp card photos did not burn onto the CD. So I have nothing to show you all. Not yet, at least. Hopefully some time next week I can nab a few samples to post, even if they have to email them to me. Heyyy...I should ask if they can email them. Then again, that might take way too long. Too bad the person I regularly deal with at My Modeling Agency is leaving for Egypt on Monday. For three weeks or something ridiculous like that. I wish we could trade places.




I'm taking a break from going over my HPC blocking to mess around on the internet. Well, I originally got online to check the weather (43ยบ!!) and got sucked into other distractions. The rewriting blocking business is dry and boring, and while I am well aware that I should have done this last week or, oh, the week before right after I got back from rehearsals in Chicago, procrastination is my nature.




I dropped out of the class I was taking, citing financial shortfall. Which isn't untrue. However, if I adored the class and couldn't wait to get back to it, I'd find a way to pay for it. As it stands, I did not adore the class, so I decided to keep my $120.




Speaking of financial shortfall, I might have to get a part-time job. *gag* I hate saying that. I hate admitting it, but I have a $500 gap in my budget between expenses and income, and it needs to be filled somehow. The only problem with this scenario is that my schedule can be highly erratic, and most employers don't like that. Most employers don't like to see gaps in employment, either, which I have in large number.

Maybe my lesson in all of this is to become more persistent when pursuing acting employment opportunities. If I don't have a safety net (the part-time job), I'll be more willing to take the risks necessary to keep my life moving along the current track (income derived completely from acting-related endeavors). This was my goal when I first started this crazy business, and I've reached it much sooner than I thought I would. If I curtail my spending (eating out, buying unnecessary clothing, walk or bike instead of driving), I might just be able to hang on until that next big commercial or theatre job comes along. In fact, that's my plan. Coffee shop jobs and the like will always be there. I love the life I have right now, and I don't want it to end any time soon.
