blood in the face

these neo-nazis are pretty boring.
and i thought i'd seen every documentary at TLA, wrong again. awesome.

excellent start to the week. feeling especially good, much much better than the hot mess that last week was.
finished the first huge part of the project at the gallery and i can come in on whatever days i want now.
i am really stoked on this internship. it is all making sense to me, and i am going back tomorrow!
stef has the volvo for the week so we are taking the babies to the please touch museum on Wednesday, (yes)
nannying is so much better when its with bffs and when you get to do things that you're not allowed to do without children.
hopefully everyone will behave.
we made a late night trip to lowes for paint and studio supplies, as well as some new toys
home improvement is surprisingly kinky. my friends are so indulgent.

tomorrow i will copy the keys, dye my hair, and work forever

squash every week into a day

home again, back to real life
feeling refreshed, coordinated and prepped for the week
having 3, sometimes 4, calendars can get confusing but now they are all in sync
the kitty babies seem happy/healthy
the roommate is a sweetheart as usual. i'll have her around until the winter for sure now, which makes me feel better.

amazing weekend, i don't think i'll ever get used to all this love and so many good times
feeling very lucky

lots of work this week = big money = fun times
must get plenty of sleep and find a babysitter for the kittens this weekend
excited to pick up my boots and start packing for FW!!!!!

must throw things in the laundry and get to sleep.

i have a lot of questions

drinking beers and watching more of the state
trying to figure out the difference between intern and total slave bitch

having these interviews and interactions with all of these non-profits really begs the question
what the fuck are you going to do for me when i spend valuable hours of my time turning your garbage into useable stuff?
yeah i know how to do all of this, im a smart girl with plenty of useful skills no question
im perfectly happy to volunteer these skills as long as i get at least a letter of recommendation, a beefier resume, or maybe even help with grant writing (or even a professional support for a grant proposal which i guess i got today)
but we all know its rough times for money and jobs, (duh) i've applied for everything that looks slightly relevant and have gotten very few responses so i'm doing really everything that i can at this point.
i guess i'm in a unique situation where i can take advantage of all of these internships and the like but i still feel guilty which doesn't make sense.

hopefully i can cool it.
but the state is really fucking funny

and thats the way it turned out to be

long day, very hard to focus and get down to business.
got in to a million fights with packing tape and almost got crushed by giant photographs.
i'm really glad no one watches me handle some of these pieces.

i'll now be working another day during the week at the gallery which is pretty exciting.
i figure in 2 weeks i should have this whole collection logged and organized.
it will be a huge professional/personal accomplishment.
and then i move on to assisting in the selection process for the 2010 fellows.
that is going to be a lot more work in a much more stressful environment.
but i'm glad they like what i've been doing so far.

got a call to come in tomorrow for another non-profit arts organization to maybe work on a visual arts program for them.
if that happens, my resume is going to be out of control.
i have a full day with the child on thursday which will be nice for some extra dollars for the weekend.
a little nervous as usual.

very mellow evening with some ladies.
now its nearly 1:30 and i'm cleaning my room.
can't stop watching british tv.

unique new york

i need to work on my manners.
and learn to relax a little.
after getting over myself, i had a pretty good week.
and the weekend will be fantastic.

off to the city till saturday for adventures and to see all kinds of friends.
very excited to leave philly.

seeing this one, for the first time probably since high school.
we had so much fun.

hey baby lets make history tonight

today was a blur

i got so much done, it feels nice
everything is so fucking perfect i might have a panic attack
i might start working more, total bonus
plans and plans and plans
have a meeting with a new family on thursday or friday
lovely after work times with some of the favorites
but now i need to turn it off and go to sleep

hard at work...

like a boss

my eyes are crossing because of all these excel sheets.

some of this work is really terrible and the titles are worse.
excited to actually see some of this garbage up close tomorrow (and put it in alphabetical order)
had vietnamese with stefanie.
now i am having hello pandas in bed with mervin.
need to shower big time. i am so done with this humidity.
then off to sleep.
i am looking forward to an easy week.
i have lots of nice things to think about.
i am so lucky.

this hair is OOC

these are the moments

today i woke up, made food, fell back to sleep and slept till 4pm.

glorious excess.

now it is 4am and i cant sleep at all.

i love naps but they totally fuck me up.

tonight was fantastic.

checked the cats and met joey at the dive.

started to talk specifics for mz. south philly fab (this shit is going be so crazy!)

stef and cierra made an amazing dinner

went to some awkward club for a hot one.

ended the night at mom's with liz.

i love those ladies so much because they are both so fucking smart.

they are so real, everything gets put into perspective

i think if we all worked together in some kind of collective making our things

we could rule the world

but thats just what i think.

so much happening tomorrow i should sleep

but i cant, my mind is on FF

i should have taken pictures tonight but i didn't

so here are my fingers growing out of the ground
