My So-Called Subjective Reality

I'm able to see things for what they are. Some call me a pessimist or Little Miss Bad Attitude- I prefer to introduce myself as a realist. I knew the job search would be tough, would take awhile, but expected to land a job within a couple weeks. Hmm. Maybe the correct statement would be: I see things the way I want to see them. I see myself as employable. I am a delightful person everyone wants to spend time with but I'm always too busy to make time... See where I'm going with this? Get the idea what type of day I'm having? Grrrr.

Yes, unemployment has become a burden. Love the idea of all this "extra" time on my hands to tackle my writing projects. Got to get a jump-start on some projects we've been trying to develop for some time now. Played housewife- that was fun for awhile, too. But reality always pulls the trump card. Money talks. That and a little structure goes a long way.

Here's what's been going on the past two months in no particular order: Still working on the script adaptation, still working on the web series although I'm in a little bit of a holding pattern. Brett and I've grown our stock photography library by too many files to count. Go figure the moment we really focus on this our downloads almost come to a complete stop along with the cash-flow. We've got our next project figured out and have been chipping away on the story all summer. Three of Brett's films aired on OPB (Oregon Public Broadcasting) last night. Included were "The Leeward Tide", "The Cowboy Way", and "Mood:Reflective". We had friends over for a little party- can't get too wild on a Monday night. (Actually, I don't have a job to get up for so I guess I can.) There's always discussion about picking up and moving away, staying here, traveling here and there. These plans are always TBD. Went to McKee's Story Seminar in July, almost caught on fire 4th of July and the AC went out in my Cabrio when the temps hit 107 here in Portland.

That's the recap. Here are links to watch "The Cowboy Way" and "Mood:Reflective" and "The Leeward Tide."

What would I like to figure out before the end of summer? Learn Flash, figure out whether or not I'm going back to school, finish what I've started. Sounds easy. We'll see.
