Yahoo Buys Tumblr :(
Why does this feel like the beginning of the end. I love Tumblr so much! It’s great, no ads, no pressure, no bullshit, very consistent. This sale can only mean trouble.
The sale is interesting though. I’ve often wondered just what was the plan for Tumblr, in terms of monetization. I guess the plan was just to sit tight and wait for an offer. 1 billion, wow. Great plan!
I...
Great Lesson!
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness! I just realized that I DID get paid for the last job I did. I actually got paid MORE than we agreed (by $37)! What an idiot I am! I forgot that some of the costumes were paid with the director’s credit card! Oh my goodness! I am so glad that my intuition told me to keep my BIG FAT mouth shut! Oh my goodness! That would have been so embarrassing! Thank...
No Escape
Amazing! I came to my mother’s house yesterday and immediately upon entering, I smelled a subtle toxic odor. Like an idiot, I didn’t ask her about it, thinking it was from a neighbor.
Finally, after witnessing my symptoms increase overnight, I asked her about it. Turns out, she had the dining room painted 10 days ago! Great! Two hours in the toxic art studio Friday, 15 hours here...

Creeps and Idols
Still trying to get my stubborn mind to forget about that ridiculous interview yesterday, which was like watching a squirrel and an elephant masturbate each other—grueling and wasteful. I got such a nasty vibe from the studio owner, who thought she was the Queen of MOMA. Her side kick was straight up creepy—Farmer Jed meets Jamie Diamond. YUCK!
Anyhoo, watching and loving Prison...
“Your daily Horoscope
Just a day after Mercury brought the last opposition...”
– This horoscope from yesterday is interesting and on point. I finished the one day job but only got paid 1/2 the promised $100. Actually, I just got to keep the remainder of the costume budget. Plus, the director kept all the purchases.
Normally, I keep the purchases on a low paying job…...
Back at the weirdo school. Sigh. Happy to be working though. Tomorrow, I’ve devoted the day to my small one day project. Really psyched.

Why I Need To Move →
Amazing! I had a dream that I was walking barefoot (a lot of trepidation about cutting my foot).
Then I saw this article about the importance of “grounding.” More reason to move to LA?
The School With No Air
Still here, at the same school. The people are nice. The kids are nice too. I still feel extremely claustrophobic! And there’s no air here. Seriously, and the classrooms are super small. Lunch is free though. I’ve been doing the ghetto thing and bringing a Tupperware container to take lunch home for dinner. ;)
Okay, I’m writing this 4 days later. I figured it out. Because I have...

Bizarro!
Subbing at a school where everyone, students and teachers alike, does everything together. I asked to leave the building for lunch. I was told that no one leaves and all the teachers eat TOGETHER. Whaaaatttt! I’m the consummate loner.
Also, the teachers don’t have classrooms. They all have desks in a common area where students also congregate. Whaaaatttt!!! No privacy. Geez Louise! The...

Working It Out
Wow. Been substitute teaching for ultra low rate ($100 a day). What’s weird is seeing the amount of food that the kids throw out. The first day, Wednesday, I seriously almost dug into the garbage after their lunch!
Anyhoo, because of the intervention by my family regarding my assholiness and rent arrears (that my mom had to, yet again, rescue me from by giving me a short term loan),...
So Many Assholes. So Little Time
So many assholes in film/theater! Hey, maybe I’m one of them. Nonetheless, I’m thinking that maybe I should get out of the field…
Broken Heart... But Can You Do This?
I gave myself a test today. I realized that me “loving” myself was going to take more than a few minutes of meditation each day.
I stood in front of my clothing rack and tried to make myself wear my best outfit. Every time I picked out something, all I could think about was how much it was going to cost to launder and how I might not have the money. A poverty thought! No more...
1st Step
Wow! I tried doing a heart meditation, one that I’ve done every couple of years since I was 19, and I couldn’t even feel ny heart.
I think it’s so “broken” that I can’t feel it. I really need to add this to my list of rehabilitation areas.
I’m figuring its because I don’t love myself? 1st step, what’s one thing I love about myself? My...

Whatever Bitches!
Just got finished watching 3 of 4 episodes of “The Great British Sewing Bee.” Fantastic reality contest show. It’s on Youtube. Very short and to the point without a lot of frills, pomp, and crazy prizes. I’m curious as to whether some ambitious American will try to do a U.S. version. It’ll be over the top, I’m sure.
Anyhoo, up late… It’s almost...
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly and The Artistic
Just got off the phone w/ my dad. He’s really disgusted with me and my state of finances. The word got back that I almost faced eviction.
There’s nothing worse than your parents and other family members being disgusted with you. I am asking, wishing, praying to be on the other side of needy. I want to give to my family, especially my parents.
Anyway, my dad’s behavior is...

PB&J
Latest discovery. Eating a wide range of foods is better than eating a limited range. Yep. For three years, I’ve tried to eat the best diet for me and my issues. Which, by the way, has a name: MCS, multiple chemical sensitivities. However, I am still lacking some vitamins and minerals. Part of the reason might be that I’ve been on so many different types of diets, each with a...
