sick, but talking about work. gosh, i'm becoming japanese
It appears my little sad*lonely*hugmeplease rant was nothing else but an innuendo to a cold. It doesn't mean it wasn't true, as I do feel a bit cast away as of lately. But it's nothing I haven't dealt with before, and besides, I don't have time to socialize (or when I do, people I want to socialize with don't), so it's not much of an issue anyway.
The cold, however, that is very real and very pissing off.
You see, I have a photoshoot at MiPro tomorrow. THE photoshoot that will not only be used for the cover of my CD, but will also become my actual profile at the company. The CD is being made for training so that we - the trainees - would know how to move around the studio and got the taste of song-making process. Therefore how the cover comes out isn't that important. It would, however, be nice if I showed some style, hype and dedication instead of runny nose and inconsistent talk. The profile on the other hand, is what every and any potential client will see, and so it is of dead-or-alive importance. Peachy.
I'm drinking Jikinin syrup, the very thing that knocked me out but then brought back to life last time I was sick, and probably overdosing vitamins some of which I'm not even sure what they are. Got them from my boss at the restaurant. He said it was vitamins and that I should take them after every meal and I do so. However Japanese vitamins don't seem to be named with the actual vitamin names, and I sorta don't care enough to google the Japanese product names and translate the results so that I would find exactly how much vitamin C they provide. The insides of my head are spinning around enough with just translating emails from DF...
or right, DF. The other company, the modeling one. They actually keep sending a lot of audition info to me, most of it with a very short applying window, but still I try my best to do apply for as many offers as possible. No idea if anything comes out of it, but so far I applied for things varying from being a live audience on a TV show (you know, the people who sit behind the show MCs and laugh when instructed to), through becoming a model for a diet product, up until singing an opening song for some audio drama, seemingly manga-related (something entitled "The resurection of a warlord ~ the tale of a school of countries at war/Sengoku*" kinda gives a very clear impression). I sadly didn't make it in time for an Akiba-kei waitress in maid cafe in a drama (mostly because I confused the guaranteed pay with an introductory fee and thought I couldn't afford it), but I'm telling myself I wouldn't get that anyway.
I mean, Akiba-kei maid waitress is heavy on the eyes enough, no need to make her a gaijin Akiba-kei maid waitress, right? This was supposed to be just an extra, and an extra shouldn't catch too much attention, they are living props after all.
On a side note, the very day they signed the contract with me, they've made me write an application for... Kobe Collection. Now, that's something I'm sure as hell to fail, not only because I'm about to turn 25 and they only accept applications from 24 and under. Of all things, Kobe Collection?! Well, it is one way of saying - apply wherever you can, and let the other side decide if you're suitable for the job or not. I keep it in my mind all the time now. In this business there's apparently no place for being modest. Not, that I didn't know that.
*not sure if they meant the historical period or some actual countries at war, can't remember if the kanji was the same, and, ahhh, whatever
