Another morning, woke up to drink some tea and watch Seinfeld on dailymotion.com.
Went out to drink with Seb and Laure last night. Surprisingly I don't have a headache, which is greatly appreciated. I guess the tequila was quality alcohol--which it should be for 10 euros the cocktail.
the 247 euros I needed to pay for school mysteriously appeared in my bank account this week, perhaps it's my medical insurance refunding me. That's always good news.
Bad news is the contemporary art fair (FIAC) is on this week, and hopefully next year I'll be able to participate. It makes me feel behind. I really have to move my ass.
A woman at the press stand by my metro stop refused to sell me a magazine while I was bluntly standing in front of her with money in my hand. She was too busy talking to a friend and it took me 5 huge minutes to find out she was racist . I dropped the magazine and left.
Didn't manage to get my residence card/visa yet. Went to two different administrations. It's been about 8 months that I've fighting for this. The frustration is too great to speak of.
The weather today reflects my emotions. My dreams have become very precise and detail oriented. Yesterday I dreamt of waitressing for movie producers, and I got it down to the very list of wines, jotting down the orders, setting their table..and then violently beating up some kid attacking me.. I can still see the images of blood. I wonder what that says about me.
Other thoughts on society today.. when I write out my resume it looks over qualified for someone my age to a point where people get suspicious. How fucked up is that?
My boss is starting to exploit me, having me be the webmaster and do graphic designs for ads, something people are paid good money for. That was not part of the job description.
I guess it is a day and age where you have to pretend you are stupid, you have to bow down to people so you can get what you want, and then screw them over when the time is right.
