The band! It's... dead. I just got word yesterday through an email. I still don't know exactly whats going on, but at this point that's my favourite place to be -- in the dark.
A little bit of a loss to me, though I only joined because I thought one of the singers was cute. But in terms of talent broken up, this is a goddamn shame. Those girls were hilarious and sounded so good together. Sounds like in-band dating took it's toll on the band. After a while everything hinged on that relationship. Band aside, I'd rather just see everyone happy and friendly with each other. Though I'll miss those jams. I hope there'll be a reunion jam when everyone has cooled off and is friendly again.
I talked to a cinematographer about the writer's strike. He was talking about how five month shows are the best to get into, because nine month ones are like flushing a year of your life away. It just reaffirmed what I've been struggling with all along, I don't really want to work in the film industry. All the fun stuff is in the free projects with my friends anyways. It's different when it's one of our babies, but I've got some new priorities.
Lately I've been really restless and wanting a new career direction. The idea of doing another McJob just makes me want to go headlong into something better. It's been a week of trying on various career hats just to see if I can picture myself being a police man, fire man, mechanic, or anything I've never really thought about before. I'd call it settling if I stopped doing anything else, but I've got plans.
