Have I mentioned that I am really not into the idea of doing school, work, portfolio reviews, or GRE's lately?
Yes. Yes, I have. Ok. I'm glad we're caught up on that. Good... |

I recently found out about a position at the nearby Trader Joes of sign-maker. It's $10/hr, 40 hrs. a week drawing on chalkboards and whatnot. It sounds awesome.
And if it wasn't for the fact that I have good friends, supposedly paid vacations (as I am still awaiting the paycheck for the time I was at the drawing class 2.5 months ago) and most importantly, benefits, I would be there portfolio in hand in a second. I've been kinda tired of my job lately. Tired of crappy hours, tired of seeing other people who have been there a shorter period get more hours than me, tired of seeing people work just as hard as me and get more money just because they have a different title, tired of seeing other people with the same title get better perks. I'm tired of the union (that's a lot of what it comes down to). I'm tired of paying $15 a week to an organization that claims to be helping but is so ineffective at what they do. They are like the Democrats in Congress! If it wasn't for those benefits! And the thing about the benefits, they make them better the longer you stay. They tantalize you with them! "If you stay here just one more year, we'll add your spouse and give you dental..." I really don't want to get stuck there. I need a change. There are more little reasons for me to change (like not having to walk outside when it is absolutely pouring like it was Friday) but a few really big reasons for me to stay. I feel like a mess. Everything right this second is up in the air. I desperately need a vacation. I just want to run away from everything for awhile; school, work, portfolios, decisions, GREs, Grad School. I'm tired. |

While seeing Jeffery Katzenberg (although not actually getting to talk to him because the douchebag with the microphone purposely ignored me because I wasn't a special t-shirt, not a joke) I was inspired by his advice to "be entrepreneurial." And while watching the world premiere of a Bee Movie clip I thought of something else I could do with an idea I've been toying with for an animated movie. The movie idea I was thinking of brought me back to another much older idea I had (both of them involve disgruntled animals). So I have decided I am going to spend next semester, any non-existent spare time I have now, and possibly next summer working on this very short but intense project. Now the question is, is it cheaper to pay about $650 mostly to enroll in a class so that I can be privileged to the service of using their video and studio equipment virtually anytime I want? Or is it better to shell out the money and then that way I'll have the stuff forever and won't have to go to a class? |

October is insane. I'm considering pulling an all, or near all-nighter just to get caught up on stuff. I need a vacation. We went to Watercourse Way for our 1st anniversary yesterday where had an hour of spa time. It was soo nice! I am trying to memorize 17 words per day. Fortunately, I know many of them. But less than 50% probably. |

About a month ago I moved about a couple of gigabytes of information to an external hard drive freeing up space on my computer. Although I haven't knowingly downloaded anything significant in that time, my computer hard drive is already almost full. What is happening? How do I stop it? |

| 2nd Biggest Fear |
| 10.03.07 (10:45 pm) [edit] |
|
There was a lot I was going to say about counseling, psychics, Macbeth, self-fulfilling prophecies, GRE books, etc.
I'll just say this. My first biggest fear is getting rejected from both the BFA review, and Graduate School. My second biggest, is getting accepted to both. and subconsciously purposely blowing one to ensure the success of the other? Shit! I am such a mental case! My brain hurts! This is one of many many times I can read my life's Cliff Notes. PS. Although Stanford University has a Media Studies department, and is very prestigious, expensive, and it would be fun just to say, "I got in" I have decided I do not want attend a university that would have Donald Rumsfeld as a lecturer. |

Theoretically if I could ask Jeffrey Katzenberg one question, what should it be? He's coming to SJSU for a Q&A (don't tell the animation department! Of course if the film and animation weren't almost as far away as physically possible...) This could be important as a potential film/media studies grad student. How about, Can we be done with Shrek now? Or, Are you going to take Disney's idea next or are they taking yours? I have 232 movies in my ever-growing Netflix queue. It will take a little over three years to get through all that at one disk at a time. It would help if there weren't so many multi-disk series on there. It never occurred to me it would increase so exponentially. That's exactly what they want you to do; realize you don't want to wait three years and step it up to 2 movies...then three. "It only costs a few dollars more." |

Well, you know... The president's approval ratings are about 33%. Congress's are about 29%. Seems to me it's time for a whole new government. The president does not act in accordance with what the most of the American public wants. And the Democratic Congress acts like a bunch of castrated ninnies. I emphasize "acts" because A. Section 8 of the Constitution grants the Congress power to control military funding without presidential approval. And B. no one wants to fil-i-bus-ter the important issues that people support. Yet Congress acts like any "partisan" issue that can't get a 2/3 override is just utterly hopeless and all you can do is throw your hands in the air and pout. It suddenly occured to me why they do this. On the Children's Healthcare issue (which is part of the reason I write this), a newspaper article on the issue said something along the lines of, "But at least when Bush vetoes it the Democrats will get a 2008 campaign issue." That is terrible. True, but terrible. Terrible mostly because the Children's Health issue is one that should have been dealt with several years ago and not conviniently put off till the next election. The Democrats want to hold on to their seats for as long as possible. So if they just use the lame "We don't have the 2/3 override" excuse, enough newspapers reprint it, enough Americans read it and accept it on the whole. Plus if they don't filibuster, they don't come off too radical, or too partisan, or whatever. And besides, who wants to stay up all night reading out of a phone book with no bathroom breaks? That sucks! Re-election/Presidential Election time comes, they can say we tried really hard last time and maybe if we had a president on our side we really shake things up! Everyone is happy! Democrats get something to get them reelected and fix things next time (which is really what it's all about; do what you can to stay in power; aka Iron Law of Institutions). People keep dying in a war. And poor kids stay sick. Oh, well. We'll get 'em next time, Tiger! |

OMG! I am so tired!
They pulled me through the ringer at work today. I was silly to think I would do a damn thing tonight other than make myself horizontal. And then I feel really guilty that all i've done after an exceptionally hard day of work, where I force myself to smile because concentrating on smiling distracts me from that overwhelming urge to kill them all, is sit on my ass. |
