Summer breeze

The old lady across the street is giggling like a schoolgirl. When I looked out the window, I could see her wiping tears off her face. I don't know what she's laughing at, but I'm smiling just the same. Sometimes she laughs, sometimes she cries (which breaks my heart) and then sometimes she flashes!
She gets a real kick out of raising her skirt and shirt in the direction of any passer-by. Makes me laugh when she does this. Just like when the man across the street came out onto his steps wearing only a pair of tightie whities with socks and shoes.
There is something about a man in droopy gitch that is very pathetic. Tired.

A couple of weekends ago, we went to watch the soccer game with some people. It was an all-day affair, and I drank very steadily from 11:00am until about 11:00pm. One thing that I forgot to do along with the drinking was EAT!
I was sooooooo sick that evening and next day. I guess I had alcohol poisoning. It was a hot day, and without any food I guess I overdid it.
But try to remember to eat when you are stumbling around drunk for so many hours. The concept of food seemed very interesting, but foreign.

So this weekend we went to a party and I managed to keep it under control. I drank but I didn't DRINK. And I even ate some food and made sure to get a lot of water in me.
The night went well, we had fun, and the next day I was able to function.

Does this mean I am becoming an adult?

Yesterday I had a good day of job hunting, and felt like my hope had risen a little bit.
For me, the problem is getting people to understand why I am not looking for work in my field.
I already do work in my field. I write and produce -independently for myself; and while my boss hasn't paid me in a while, I still do that work on a daily basis.

So, I look for work on the side that will pay with money. And because I am already working on my own stuff, I don't want a job doing somebody else's stuff in my field. It makes it hard for me to have energy for my own work...
Now, many people may wonder, what work?
Well, I write and have ideas for stories or articles or scripts everyday. Right now I am going through a lot of my writing and putting it together in the form of a book. Takes time, takes patience.
I am also always researching and reading up on film, TV, music, news, networks and funding opportunities. I also keep my eyes open for things I am interested in producing or people I am interested in promoting.
In this field you sort of have to be up on everything all the time.

And that's why I am not solely looking for work in my field.
(Although if CBC called and wanted me to work there, I would say yes in a second. That is my dream job place... I have applied and will again and again and again!!)

This weekend I am hoping to get down to the Jazz festival before it's over.
We have a guest coming to visit this week, and therefore a lot of cleaning to do.

Oh yeah... I saw the new Chris Rock special and it is more than hilarious. He mixes in a lot of really great content with his humour, so he is funny and also very smart about it.
It's worth checking out.

So is this really strange/funny show on the comedy network called "I'm with Busey" (I think that's what it's called).
Basically it's this semi-nerdy guy hanging out and potentially being taught things with Gary Busey.
Busey is completely crazy and spontaneous and it's hard to tell if he's pretending, or if he really is that over the top. They do all sorts of things and Busey tries to teach and help the guy become more like Busey.

Which if you think about it, is something we should all do!
