and now for nonsens
Ok, even though I just made a post (or perhaps since I just made a post... wait no... I'm getting ahead of myself. That won't make sense to anyone that's not reading my thoughts) I'm updating again.
Lately, I've had this yearning for some more really good samurai and ninja films lately. Last year I found a few I really liked, like Hidden Blade, Azumi, and Shinobi: Heart Under Blade, but since then I haven't been able to find anything because the suggestions I get are all of the same things I've already seen. Rose suggested to me to look up the genre of these films and it was a very thin mix between chambara and jidaigeki; so since then I've found a few new ones I want to watch, and I've also downloaded a few of Akira Kurosawa's films (he did 7 Samurai, which was epic).
Still the same ol' same ol' with work... lots of people are interested in working with me, but, no one seems to be able to get off their ass to schedule a consultation with me. I started putting my ad up on Craig's List again, and I need to work with Rose and Jenna to redo my flyer. I almost started working as a massage therapist for this place called Massage Envy in Princeton (and they're in lots of other places too), but I found out that it's the Wal*Mart of massages and they treat all their employees like dirt.. Plus, the pay is terrible... absolutely terrible (like, close to minimum wage). Sadly, I had to turn the job down. I have a number of addresses to chiropractic places and health centers that I want to send my resume to... it's just that I have a tough time either remembering, or, I feel burnt out (over something) and then I'll not do anything for a day or two and go back to forgetting. Sux. I think what I'll do is sign the letters this week, and then this weekend, maybe I can persuade Rose to help me stuff the letters and get them ready to mail (that's the tedius bit). I've spent way too long not doing anything and forgetting and stuff and now I'm running out of time and it sucks horribly. I don't want to have to do something else. Part of it is because it's nice to feel like I'm free of that shit now, and part of it is because I know how I am and I'm afraid that once I have some income, I'll keep forgetting and keep putting off my marketing so that I can try to bring in some paying clients. Double sux.
My birthday is fast approaching, and, I really want to throw a party and invite lots of friends and have a great time but... I need monies for food. I was thinking about asking my mom for money and then asking folks to chip in 5 bux, but, I dunno if it'll work... I know I definitely want to do something with my friends.... it's just a matter of what and how.
Jenna's getting married next month; I still don't like the idea of it. Scott is a nice guy, but, I think he could really treat her a hell of a lot better, be much more appreciative of everything Jenna does for him, and at times I think he could even be more polite to her friends. Jenna says he was different when they had their own apartment a few years ago and he wasn't commuting so much to work. Regardless though, I personally feel that it's always wrong to take ones personal problems out on others that are not the source of it. I've always felt that that is a really shitty thing to do and I will always strive to never do that.
Jon's about done making his neverwinter nights character, so now it's time for me to boot over into windoze (I'm working on getting it to run in Linux. It can run natively in linux, but, I'm experiencing some issues)
