Hey y'all, it's me again. Just figured on it bein' a good time to update, as I've been away for a whiles; I won't bore you with the details of why, you came here to hear about me, not things about me. Wait, what? Anyhow, I'm officially leaving the restaurant business. Unofficially, for good. And by "unofficially" I mean "hopefully". And by "good", I mean "ever". Why? Because I'm sick of it. How? Very precariously. But exciting.
You see, I've just begun principal animation on my second music video. Yes, that's just a fancy way of saying I've been scribbling and when they go by fast it kind of looks all right, but trust me: That's a good start. But the key element here is I'm getting paid for this one. Granted, not boatloads of dollars (hence the aforementioned precariousness), but enough to get me by for just a little while. And maybe also a grant. Which would be nice. Cross your fingers for me on that one. I won't, I'm not superstitious. So anyhow, I think this time I'm really gonna "Give 'er", and try to make a real go of this. I don't expect smooth sailing straight from the "get" "go", but I gotsta do what I gotsta do. And so far, it's great! Granted, I'm still a dishwasher for one more week, but I'm sure I'll feel way better immediately after, and any negative aspects won't show up for a while. So dammit, I'm gonna enjoy that while!
And while we're at it, if anyone has any kindly advice, or sage advice, or cruel, knife-like advice, all are welcome and hopefully useful. Oh, and if any of you out there have a few thousand dollars and want some animation, feel free to drop me a line.
In other news, my Mom just bought a new car. I hear it's "pretty nice".
