| Waiting for ..... feb 9, 2004 Hello folks. Yes it's been reeeal quiet here in Notanywhereland. Too quiet. This update has been a long time comin'. So why the wait? Lack of motivation I guess. I'm getting a little stale. I think that everyday that goes by that I'm working at Needs i get less and less artistic. It's kind of sucking my will to live. And having to deal with freakin punks who've got no respect for anyone least of all themselves is really starting to get to me. I'm a grown man. I shouldn't let juevenille name calling get to me, but it does. bleh. I've got some news from the theatre front...the show I was going to direct is on hold. The producer said something came up and it needs to go on the backburner for a little while. Still haven't heard back from my RCA audition. We're supposed to hear sometime this week. So...fingers crossed. I finally got my Education faculty application together today...whew! i also put together my Arts and Letters Competition Entries today as well. I decided against entering a play and decided on a poem instead. I entered one of my newer songs into the musical composition section. Who knows? maybe I'll get lucky! To be honest there's not really a whole lot to say about the last 11 days. "SSDD" as the phrase goes. I picked up Knights of the Old Republic for PC yesturday, so between that and Morrowind I've got lots of hours of games to play. I also managed to track down a Tai Chi DVD at Wal-mart. These are suprisingly hard to find (in Newfoundland anyway). Lots of Yoga and pilates DVDs, but very few Tai Chi ones. I haven't tried it out yet, but I'll let you know when I do. I'm tempted to try some yoga (in fact there is a section on yoga on the Tai Chi DVD), but i think I just want to try it so I can buy the mat. Of course all of this is just more ammunition for the guys to use on me..heehee. I put up a little gif self-portrait in the extras section if you want to check it out...it's not too bad. I guess these days I'm in a perpetual state of waiting. It's a constant wait and see. Waiting to hear about the summer. Waiting on the auditions. Killing time before going back to school. Waiting to hear about this, that and the other thing. it was really nice at first, not having a whole lot of worries, but now it sucks. There is so much out of my control. I don't like it. I wish I had a universal fast forward button. gah! Well, I'd best be off to bed. Take advantage of having the night off and sleep when it's dark outside. Take care everybody. Keep an eye on this space, I'll be putting up my DVD wish list in the Dice and Cup section pretty soon....maybe I'll redesign the whole website for something to do...hmmm..... |
| ...blah... feb 16, 2004 Hello and hello. Welcome to Kev's house of winter blahs. Step right up. Don't worry, you won't need your sun glasses, but be sure to wear your touque! Man oh man...I have to say that winter is starting to get to me. Everytime I'm watching tv or see a movie with summer on it, or spring, or people just outside with a light coat on and sunlight I get the itch to be OUTDOORS!!! I think I'm getting a combined tan from the flourescents at work and the computer screen at home. that can't be healthy. Someone warn me if I start twitching and talking to myself...my precioussss.... Not much happening this week, I didn't get the part with "The Atom Station," but oh well..what are ya gonna do. This time last week I was pretty bummed out about it, but I'm much better now. Just waiting to here about the Cow Head job at the moment. People are starting to get hired, so hopefully I'll get an email soon...a good email! I checked out some of the ECMA action this weekend. It was okay. I really wish that i could have understood what the songs were about that we were listening to. The music was good though. I guess with live rock music it's just hard to get a mix where you can hear the words being sung. Last night i geeked out and played Champions of Norrath at my bud's house until 4 in the morning. Awesome game (or else we wouldn't have been playing it for that long...) Tonight I'm back to work after a few great days off. Oh right...I hope every body had a good Valentine's Day. Me and the guys got together and played...are you ready for it?....drum roll...Dungeons and Dragons!!! It was a nice little game. We determined in the car on the way out to play that we are definetly losers. But I'm pretty sure there were other guys out there that night, somewhere, partaking in similar heights of geekiness on the (*ahem) most romantic day of the year. :) So what are ya going to do? ( i have withheld the guys names...for their own protection..) well...the novelty of writing this up is wearing off....I'll add to it again soon...maybe in a few minutes...maybe tomorrow. You just never know. Cause I'm crazy. Oh yeah. |
| someone stick a pencil in my eye feb 19 i bet you're wondering what's with the cheerful header? well, i am officially 3 for 3. My last three theatre gigs have been rejections. I didn't get re-hired for the summer in Cow Head. I was really disapointed a few days ago, but I'm feeling a bit better now. I've contacted both Rising Tide and Rebel Island Theatre, so who knows? Maybe I'll end up in Trinity or Carbonear for the summer? It actually would be pretty neat to live in Carbonear again. I worked for that festival 5 years ago and i really love the community. It would be cool. Trinity would be awesome as well because they have a very long summer season (as well as an extended fall season), so that would be an oppurtunity for more work, which would be nice. Anyway, hopefully I'll hear from those guys soon. I need at least a little good news. Today there's a big snowstorm outside. Of course there would be a snowstorm on my day off/payday. Spending money makes me feel better and i was going to hop on the bus and go to the geek store...oh well. No much else happening lately, especially since my last update was only 3 days ago...bleh. I sill hate winter. I still hate my job. I still miss my sweetie. ok, ok...enough with the complaining. I have friends to do that to. :) take it easy folks, in addition feb 22 This is just a short little addition to the last update. Things are looking a lot brighter. I got an email from Rising Tide and it's looking REAL good. I won't say anything else, cause I don't want to jinx it, but it looks like come the summer I won't be slicing bologna for disgruntled and drunk customers anymore. Yah! I put up some new comics last week and one today in the soon-to-be-moving Geek section. There's a little link there to vote for the comic on an online comic directory. So if you like what you read, gimme a vote! Wednesday night I'm heading to The Ship with my bro to play some open mic, so come on down! ummmm...that's it, stay coooool. |
| Woah...what's with the updating man? Feb 23 yes...i'm on an updating frenzy..you'd think this was a daily journal or something. but it is not. I'm feeling extremely energized this morning. I don't know why. The sounds of Miles Davis are bouncing around my room and the excitment of Holmes hot on the cobblestoned trail of a fiendish villian is running through my veins.....i think it's the weather. At the moment, 7:22 am, if you were in the St. John's region and looked out your window, you would see a dreary, dismal and wet morning. But I've been out in it. And I didn't want to come in. I've been such a hermit the last few months. But this morning the air was so mild and the fog so refreshing that I walked up the street with my surplus army "I can defeat any cold weather" jacket WIDE OPEN! and no mitts on. If it were not for the huge snow banks on each side, I would have swore it was spring. But this is February of course...still, it was like a dream of spring. A taste. I strolled up the road, when normally I trot up it as fast as I can to get into my warm bed. I actually pondered a walk around the block...but I knew Mom would be worried if she didn't see me walking in the door before she left for work. Other contributions to my mood: a nice and quiet evening at work, where I absorbed the first of Doyles' Holmes novels and half of a second , the fact that I'm now off for three days (yah) and i had a good paycheck on Thursday, which hasn't been touched since I had to work all weekend. I've been eating books the last few days. I mangled a Star Trek book on friday night (i know..i know..the heights of nerd..), last night I devoured Equal Rites by Terry Prachett (wonderful read..gonna have to buy another in the series) and the aforementioned first Holmes Novel "A study in Scarlett (which to be fair is actually fairly short, but I did mange half of the next novel the same night.) This burst of energy may actually cause a problem if I can't get to sleep this morning...especially if I plan on doing anything tonight...arghhh...ah well. life is good, jazz is good and while there may not be any truely original ideas anymore, there are some facinating variations. cheers, |
