in case you didn't know [29 Apr 2008|02:37pm]
hi, i am a sitcom.

i'm not sure if it was when i found myself standing on a ladder underneath a flight of stairs, with my head resting on a step, or when hot wax got spilled on my head and ear, or when i woke to find my cat eating my hair again, or the supreme amount of tragically hilarious dumb that has befallen me this weekend.

all i can say is this:

i should have a camera crew, a daily montage, and a monologue.

dood, put me on showtime.

have i mentioned that i do not enjoy HTML?

i can't quite explain why i dislike it so much, but beyond the occasional HTML for LJ purposes, i just don't dig it.

perhaps i just don't like writing code... that may be it.

with that said, Dreamweaver rules.

success [06 Mar 2008|08:52pm]
the photoshoot was a success.

it was a marathon.

approx. 4 hours of hair and make-up on three models, including one full upper torso make-up job.

i did it without an assistant.

i think i did a good job, though i'm still learning and have room for improvement on my technique and speed.

i'll keep at it, and keep getting better.

my portfolio is coming together.

i met some fantastic models, and there is talk of working on future shoots.

thank you so much [info]miss_elysium for the opportunity to do this. really, i can't thank you enough.

now i have to get myself dolled up and race over to the gallery show at the DNA.

help me, i'm in hell [01 Mar 2008|09:23pm]
someone bring me a beer.

someone bring me a beer and sit across the table from me while i drink it.

someone bring me a beer and tell me something interesting while you sit across the table from me while i drink that beer.

someone bring me a beer, and bring one for yourself and listen to me tell you a story about something ridiculous or sad.

someone bring me a beer and just be here for a while.

damn i could use a beer.

there's no reason the theme song for "sealab 2021" should be stuck in my head.

"seeeeeeeeaaaaa laaaaaaaab underneath the waaaaaaateeeerrr..."

BY EXISTING!!!

seems i have a lot on my mind.

somehow i managed to ramble a lot in this entry )

fetish [29 Feb 2008|09:40pm]

who's going to the fetish ball?

i'm considering going for the first time.

who's gone before? is it worth it?

a question [29 Feb 2008|11:36am]
when applying for make-up jobs, and submitting examples of your work, does it look bad to have the vast majority be pictures of yourself?

also, i imagine it would appear unprofessional to send snapshots such as this one:



along with trying to compose a cover letter, and getting good examples of my work together, i'm having what is rapidly becoming a bitch of a time.

still, i'm having fun.

***EDIT***

snapshots were out of the question.

i wrangled up some pics, wrote the cover letter and sent it away to the prospective employer.

now, we wait.

what began as a crap ass day is ending with pizza, a sweet man, a back rub before bed, and new and exciting projects on the horizon.

maybe finding that $10 bart ticket on the platform yesterday was a sign that things might just turn around.

make-up and photos [28 Feb 2008|10:47am]
speaking of finding more fulfilling part-time work...

i want to expand on my make-up artist work, and put together a portfolio, so i can apply for some jobs.

i've done zombie make-up a million times, and have done some glamor make-up for zivity shoots, and i've always loved the experience.

as such, i'd like to get more experience, and want to arrange some shoots with open-minded models, and any photographers that might be willing to throw together some shoots on the fly.

i'd do the shooting myself, but i'd rather have someone with more skills and a digital camera take the reigns with the shooting.

i'm looking to do more nudes and fetish type work, as well as more fashion and glamor shoots.

so, if anyone wants to model or shoot pictures, or know someone who does, please let me know.

damn clarity [28 Feb 2008|08:38am]
i promised myself i'd never work a job where i'd have to wear a unoform again.

this morning as i ironed my tuxedo shirt, it hit me with the kind of dull thump you'd get from a dumb stick.

i slammed the iron down on the board, my mind clear and sparking.

"wait a minute. didn't i say i'd never work a job where i had to wear a uniform again?"

chris walked over, his face kind and knowing, "yes, you did."

i stood there staring down at the evil tuxedo shirt on the board, and thought about the fact that i didn't even agree to taking this job today. that i was scheduled without being asked first (i work on-call as a caterer, and am only scheduled for shifts that i accept before being scheduled).

this job that i'm working today, and begrudgingly missing my beloved multimedia class for. this job that i'm working today that i'm not really available for.

and why, why did it never dawn on me that catering fell into the same category as, "jobs i have to wear a uniform for"?

i suppose my love for dress shirts and ties, picking my own shifts, and being able to make a few bucks so i can eat clouded my vision, but now, oh now i see clearly.

i feel like dante in clerks. "i'm not even supposed to be here today." the problem with dante was he let himself get walked on, and he constantly made mistakes instead of making choices for himself, and knowing what was right for him. dante was an idiot, and spineless at that. to hell with being spineless.

this. is. not. going. to. be. my. life.

part of me is inclined to say, "fuck it." go to class like i'm supposed to, and find a job that isn't going to interfere with what my actual goals are... which are many, and don't involve food or tuxedo shirts and "work shoes" from payless.

if i go to masonic center today for this shift, i will give my best fuck-you service, get the hell outta there, and make a goddamned plan to FIX THIS SHIT.
