Life is messy and uncertain ...
Working on A Chrismas Carol at the moment ... It's a musical version, which is cheesy but tolerable, and the cast and crew are fun, so that makes it easier, too. I'm not sure what comes after this gig, which always makes me a little nervous. Especially since, this time, I don't really have much of a parachute. I'm kind of hoping I get offered this adjunct professor position to teach a class and that the Center keeps hiring me for little stuff. Between the two, I could probably make due.
But in the meantime, I'm really starting to consider finding a roommate. I'm not huge on the idea ... I like having my private space, my own personal apartment. But at this point, it just seems like i struggle with my bills more and more. Blah. Oh times, you can be so lousy.
And yet, things are good, not bad. I'm making new friends and watching good stories, and generally living well. We've been having a regular Friday game night after work and it has been a ton of fun. I've made a new good friend in Katrina, and her boyfriend Harrison's pretty awesome as well. I've gotten into all kinds of new-to-me shows via Netflix ... Especially Veronica Mars, which I have always meant to get into but never really found the opportunity to watch from the beginning. I -lurve- it. But then, noir is a favorite style of mine, so it's not too surprising.
Beta is over, so no more Cata for me until next week, but I should be getting the collector's ed in the mail on release day - thanks to V & C for awesome presents! ^_^ It will be nice to be a little ahead of the curve on the expansion, but I haven't been playing a ton for a while in general. I think a good portion of that is due to me being worn out on WoW and Wrath, but also the fact that there's not that much companionship to be had in guild chat due to multiple reasons ... And I wonder whether that will change with the expansion. If it doesn't, I may end up finally moving at least my main like some people already have ... I dunno. Only thing to do is wait and see, I suppose.
Oh, life. You are odd and varied and complicated. Perhaps I just need to stop resting on my laurels and try harder. I've been sitting on several fic ideas and an idea that I kind of want to turn into at least a story if not a novel ... It's just been a long while since I've written anything expansive. Or much of anything at all, really. I'd like to rp again, I've sort of looked for new opportunities, but I kind of would want to play Jack again, and it's very hard to find something open for him, not to mention the fact that it would be hard to top the last experience I had playing him ...
Well, things to think about, I suppose. Time for work.
