So much has been going on! Too much to write it all down!
Never have I loved life so much.
I am sitting here drinking a very delicious pumpkin ale in my tiny little apartment with windows open and the weather is warm and lovely and I don't need a coat!
I quit my job.
It is nice to see daylight other than just my commute to work. Nice to walk around. Nice to arrange not one BUT TWO!! TWOOOOOO shows at galleries. I hope my work sells. I hope it all sells and I can sit back and do art for the rest of my life as people just buy buy buy everything I create. I don't want to work ever again.
St. Patricks day is usually a fun holiday but here in the city, I realize, it's a time for everyone to rush inside and lock their doors as all the retarded people from new jersey and long island invade the streets. So many drunk fake girls and frat boys puking and screaming bro bro bro all over the place! I am so glad they don't actually live here.
I work at the Brooklyn Museum on sundays teaching a photography class to kids. I love it. I want to teach more. They are all so talented and the first class I was so so nervous and stuttered through it, but the second class went well AND I get a magical card that lets me into all the museums in the country for FREE.
Tomorrow I wake up early in the morning to assist this nice guy on a photoshoot for a magazine. I met him at a Of Montreal concert. He was shooting for rolling stone and was so friendly. I love talking to photographers at concerts. I've gotten to know a bunch of them and I see them alot. I go to alot of shows. A LOT. Of Montreal and Gogol Bordello never ignore us. I just saw Gogol, and Eugenie always comes down from the stage now to shake my hand. "Every night!" he says. "Every night!" I reply! He shakes his head and says "It's too much!"
I will let everyone know the details of my shows in the future. They are both at the end of april. I don't know what to price it. I sell a bunch of stuff at $150 but if I ever want to live off my work I have to double that. I am worried no one will buy it.
Luckily I saved up enough money before I quit to support me for three whole months!! I don't have to work! I am still applying to jobs of course... but I don't have to worry! Also, since my job treats everyone so badly, when you quit, they PAY YOU OFF. HA! So I can't say a word about the mistreatment, and they give me money. Wouldn't it make more sense to just be nice to everyone? So you don't have to pay everyone when they leave? Damn.
