YAY FOR DAYS OFF
"There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein."
~Red Smith
I've become overwhelmed by this strike and the only reasoning I can find is the writer and artist in me. I find an indelible sense of camaraderie among all creative types. There is a feeling of safety...understanding...fellowship. When one of us falls...we all fall. So yeah...consider me obsessed and rightfully on their side of this fight.
Just wanted to share a few quick links on the Writer's Strike...
1. United Hollywood.com is a blog set up by the writers with amazing stories from the line. awesome read.
2. YouTube.com/WGAAmerica - video blogs from the line. the one from the office writing staff is great as well as the WGA Strike Log Day 2.
3. Deadline Hollywood Daily - Nicki Finke's LA Weekly Blog has been one of the best sources for all strike related news.
4. LA Times Blog - not as detailed as I'd like, but a good supportive site.
I worked the Geffen again last nite. It was a lot of fun...as always. The staff there is offering me free tickets to all their plays and I'm stoked since their newest one... Atlanta...opens up in 2 weeks and is a musical featuring Bluegrass Gospel music. I'm soooooo there.
I have today off. And this morning, for the first time in a long time, I woke up when I damn well pleased. It was, to say the least, glorious. I am hungry though..and have a bit of headache. I'm gonna leave soon and catch some breakfast. I'm also gonna call on these 2 studio apartments I found online. I'm not entirely ready to move, but you never know...
I am overdosing on people. I am parched for privacy. I feel paralyzed and cornered by the ongoing presence of people in my personal space. I find myself running away at every possible moment. Sure, I could make breakfast...but that would require me to be around my aunt and grandmother, be subjected by their "need to talk to be polite" questions, feel compelled to politely answer them, and then inhale my food so as not to be around them anymore. Can't a girl make and eat a meal in peace?
My mother isn't making things any easier. Unwilling to understand me and just let me be, she is officially pissed at me. I'm so tired of living in a hostile environment. A big pet peeve of mine is constantly feeling as if I have to justify myself. Grrr...
But, yay for days off. I mean really....yay.
Bad people can Suck It!
