I just realized that the email address that I use for sending resumes has been down for 5 days. I was expecting an email/phone call from a company I interviewed with at the end of this last week. Here’s hoping they sent it friday and responding tomorrow evening when the problem is fixed isnt too big of a deal

The other day I spit out a painting in less than an hour. Although it isnt entirely done it does have 90% of the detailing i want on it.

I still need to detail the hand facing us, and then figure out where the other is in relation. As well as smooth some of the stickier points where the paint pulled away.

Tonight I get to wine and dine it with some of Halifax’s most important people. This is where Greg laughs at me and asks if Halifax actually has important people. However it is true, I am going to The Coast awards to schmooze with people who might be able to point me in the direction of awesomeness. Also to eat wonderful food.

Off to update my website and get shit done.

“You cant fake cool. Some people have it and some people try, the triers fail. You, Amanda, are cool. You dont care. You wear what you want, you do what you want. You treat everyone like a person. That is what defines cool. Some people just dont have it”

When drunk you look at your copy of Pride & Prejudice the BBC movie release for tv and think “Boy that would be the best thing to watch right now”

It is with great sadness that I mention, I did *not* get the awesome job in Lunenburg. Of course I got wind of it after I mentioned the interview to my boss at the cafe. How degrading.

Prior to the news though I had a pretty effing awesome day. I went out and handed in my notice for this claptrap shit hole I live in. 3 mos til I am out of here. I posted a cheque, and bought myself a new recovered journal. This one is titled “The man who got even with God”. I already have the next 3 mos put in there. I did find however that the same company has day planners and I may get one next time. I am also thinking of raiding my parents basement and sending some to them. Greg always seems unamused when I getone of these books. I am sure they could be seen as a waste of income or a frivolous purchase. I suppose those are the same thing though.

Off to get dressed and serve tea… again.

Yesterday I did an interview in Lunenburg for a company I really want to work for. There are those places that you apply to because they are hiring and then there are the places you spam to death hoping they dont get sick of your letterhead. This would be the latter. They are a ’small’ company, local, creative, and I would probably give my left leg to work for them… but it would then be hard to use their in house gym. Im sure we could work something out.

On the way there I got lost twice. And on the way out I got lost twice and then almost died because I ran a stop sign I didnt even see. Effing lame ass intersections nearly killing me. Driving stick was so not a good plan.

My friend Kate hooked me up with the UGLIEST knitting basket on the face of the planet. It is so awesome I love it so much. It has a sort of 70’s floral pattern on it. Pictures to come later. When I dye my hair again.

Off to teach greg to make quiche

In the last month I have done several of the things on my 101 list.

- Paint a large scale oil
- Have an Art Show
- Buy a fancy Dress (its being shipped right now YAY)
- Network

If I sell even just one of my paintings, I am going to use the money to transfer all of my film to disk, and print some large scale photo’s. Since I am having another artshow in October with photography I figure I should actually get some of it ready. Whoops.
