It's a 'new moon'. Maybe new beginnings, clean slate. Maybe a signal of new cycles and new tides. Maybe nothing more than a nearly black night when the shadows are their darkest and deepest. It's beautiful here. The sun is shining and it's not terribly hot. For some reason though, I feel an itchy sensation. It needs to storm. It needs to rain a lot to clear out this tangible tension and electricity that can be felt. I'm starting a new project. Well I drawing anyway. A series of celtic knots/abstract designs. I think I've been focusing on the specifics of everything when what I really want is to be nebulous and not so defined. I'll post some WIP's whenever I get enough of it done. Slow going though since I'm still looking for jobs. If anyone would like to give away 15,000.00. I would be eternally grateful!! LOL  I'm just kidding....not really. 

I decided not to stress about the job thing today. I figured when you stop looking for something you seem to stumble across it right away. (Doesn't work) But I had a very relaxing day. Enjoyed a Chai Latte and took pictures at the beach. Went to an antique shop and a Halloween store. Tried on tons of cheesy masks and hats. Went to a book store and flipped through books about local hauntings and UFO sightings. Purchased a book on Cayce. Got caught in the sprinklers, checked out The Tracy Fragments at Blockbuster. Cleaned up the kitchen, read about the missing years of Jesus and then had Chinese food for dinner. 

During the past couple of days I have noticed these little flying bugs that are constantly joined together. These bugs are EVERYWHERE here. I'm talking, it looks like black snow when you are driving down the road, sometimes. You stop at a red light and 6 of these insects land on your windshield. It's so gross and it's so invasive. They are always mating. I haven't seen one separated yet!! I'm told if you were to pull them apart that both parties would die. But they fly around AND walk around joined together. I know this shouldn't bother me this much but it really REALLY does! Apparently they only take flight twice a year, sort of a gross way for mother nature to signal the season's change. Adult females only live 2-3 days. But I have provided a link to the highly educational wikipedia article on these exhibitionist bugs along with a delightfully informative picture.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_bug Anyway, job search is still on. Apparently everyone is...

I woke up at 9am Wednesday morning, can you believe it? I can't either, but I truly did. I got some errands done, had lunch downtown which was really nice. Cleaned up a little bit, put away laundry, wrote some letters. I tried to find this blockbuster that I've been two at least half a dozen times but for some strange reason I couldn't find it. That's not like me at all, once I've been some place I can usually find my way back. Crazy! I'm convinced it's in some sort of weird Time/Space wormhole and just keeps moving around. That makes much more sense than me not remembering where it is.  That night started out pretty horrible. It was so absurd I just had to laugh about it. I got a table of 8 senior citizen women. We're talking oxygen tanks. I knew I was in trouble when they started off with "What's happened to the sweet potato's? We've been coming here for years and we always order sweet potato's." Then they wanted to know why w...

It's hard to have a 'case of the mondays when you can't even really remember what day it is. I don't think that's a bad thing at all either. I love it in fact. Not having a traditional job is where it's at. Today's fun fact of the day! I'm not struggling for money by any means. I do want to pay everything off really quickly though. I hate being in debt. This has caused my shoulder to tense again. I thought it was from lifting trays laden with heavy plates and food, but alas, it is my right shoulder that is spasming and I lift with my left. Friends are awesome. Especially friends with families who have the 'hook up' and that's all that I'll say about that. The long term cure is getting a great paying job with a minimal amount of work though. That would make my muscles relax! DREAM BIG! I had to break down and buy new pants. I went to ROSS because everyone knows you can 'dress for less' there! It's a crazy experience clothes sho...

So now that the summer season is 'officially' over, I've become obsessed with finding a job that pays A LOT. I'm still keeping the job at Jakes because it is still pretty good money for the amount of hours that I work but I've almost entirely been cut to weekends now.  I took some photos of the sky right before Gustav came rolling in. They didn't amount to much at all, but they were pretty to look at in the distance. The tide/surf is still high and I imagine it will stay that way since we have three more storms coming in. It rained all day yesterday, which was kind of nice in my opinion. It's very sunny today though. I hope to go out and enjoy it while I put in applications and drop my resume off. I think I'm going to teach myself how to sew. Some of my pants are almost unwearable because they are so long and baggy. I should be able to fix that..I would think. My thinking has gotten me nowhere fast before though. We'll see. I saw Tropic Thunder this...
