random bits
Saturday I ran dancefloor lighting at a Bar Mitzvah gig at a major event space in NYC. I used to spend a lot of my weekends doing that sort of thing. Thankfully, in the last 3 years I've been abel to work less, make more, and not do as many "social" events. (Weddings, Mitzvahs, etc). In this case, one of my bigger clients was in a bit of a jam, so I agreed to do it. It's actually ridiculously easy (and good) money, but putting on a suit and listening to bad bad party music gets old fast. Thankfully I had my laptop, the internet, and some earplugs.
Yesterday was pretty chill. air_angel came over, although she wasn't feeling very well. We watched Cloverfield on Blu-Ray. I don't think that the "shaky-cam" style of shooting made her feel much better. The movie was interesting enough. I wasn't a big fan of the creature design of the monter though.
Still need to watch the season premieres of Dexter and Califiornication when time allows.
Economy is a big ol' mess. I came home early to let a plumber in, and turned on the TV to watch the market close, and the finger-pointing begin. I just had to turn off CNN because the partisan blame-game on both sides was making me sick. I don't feel any better about the "bail-out" package than most people, but we have to do something, and do it soon.
As someone with no debt, and a decent amont of cash on hand, I'm looking at maybe buying some stocks while they are low. We'll see.
This week I have a small gig with a new client, and another small job over the weekend. My business partner and I are actually having our best year so far. We'll see how that keeps up when the full impact of all this sets in.
