(no subject)
Long time no see! My disappearance can be mostly blamed to too much work. Twelve hour workdays (with no overtime pay) makes Emmuzka one cranky woman. After that, I'll have energy only to lurk in fyentertainment to get my Adam fix and then go to bed.
There is one interesting thing going on, though: I'm participating in a Finnish television show! It's a weird mix of reality television and documentary, and it's about 30-something independent single career women and why they are single. The reality part comes from it being also a dating show, ha.
I applied just for shit and giggles, and lo, they loved to take me in as one of their "heroines". At first it was super interesting, but now it's getting a bit tedious. I will be sacrificing a lot of weekends. We don't get paid per se, but we do receive a set sum for our troubles.
The show comes out in the fall and there is always a possibility that people will actually watch it and I will be recognized on the street... Fortunately it's produced by YLE so the show doesn't come with interviews or any kind of mandatory involvement in advertising it. Finnish tabloids make headlines from reality television all the time, but that's not because they shows would be particularly interesting. It's because the same companies own the tabloids and the commercial television channels, so it's all just a one big cross-promoting hoopla.
..So I live in hope that I won't end up as people's coffee break conversation topic.
