it may come to you as disappointing news that i've become a full-time scenester these days. i see about an average of 3 shows a week. which is partly why i don't update as often, because i've noticed that about 50% of the people who go to shows attend them purely to say that they've been to them. and i never want to be like that, because i get so much more out of live music than just something to brag about. i'm seriously trying to find a way to make a living off this lifestyle that i've created for myself. concert promoter? writing reviews? work at a venue? my options are somewhat limited...
to make matters easier, i will be moving to Esplanade and Duluth in late June which will allow me to be closer to the "scene" as i hate to call it. because expensive cab rides and seldom-passing night buses are just a hassle. i will be living with 3 really cool guys once again, the difference is that this time none of them are my boyfriend. i've learned from my mistakes, grown a little wiser.
the new boyfriend is great, by the way. he is as obsessed with music as i am, which is refreshing. he will also be moving to that neighborhood. which gives me the feeling that this is exactly where i want to be in my life right now.
my film projectionist job is getting very old very fast. i honestly go to work and read the Montreal Mirror front to back, or some other book or i make lists of things to do for when i am not working. it's gotten to the point where i do my job on zombie-autopilot mode and that is the last thing i need. so i will be checking job openings regularly. this part of my life needs to come to an end!
well it's my night off which means a big mug of chamomile tea and Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs.
goodnight.
