todays accounts

greetings from the far off place that is workland. there is a literal crows nest on the top of the palm tree outside one of the office windows (5th floor), it's pretty spectacular. today i've been stricken with some wicked allergies that are throwing off my equilibrium- making me dizzy and nauseous. it's good times. just now with an hour to go it occurs to me that the ginger pills would've helped- had i remembered them. i also casually asked the guy who hired me what i should do once i ran out of footage to search and he sort of flippantly but humorously said, well without footage there's no show so! but then he said, I can ask so n'so if he needs help... uh, okay. how has he not realized that i've been stringing out the footage search for 2 wks because i'm really good at killing time. but as far as i know he's planned to employ me for 4 months. coolio. just a few hours ago i overhead a guy talking on the phone about being in jail, having a suspended license and harassing some girl about a guy she liked who is also going to jail in the twin towers (downtown)... and then i thought, well if he could find a job! there's hope for everyone i know. of course there is no magic formula to getting all these jobs i keep getting and i'm not even a felon... but i figure usually forces align and the right person hires you for something you've actually applied for. later i was going to help count the homeless population in hollywood but i'm bailing due to feeling completely gross- that and they have enough people so i don't feel so bad. in light of this i may now go eat some chinese food and write... swimming and other altruistic things to come when i feel better. oh and i think my left foot 2nd toe is broken but from like a long time ago. or maybe it's just bruised. either way it's totally annoying.

my allergies are awful too... running seemed to help though. it makes my noes run a lot and then, you know, you're kind of cleared out or whatever. gross.

and shame on you for reverting to all lower-case.

; )

agreed! all lower-case! abominable!

how does one count the homeless population?

oh, and (random q) are you going to watch the real world: hollywood, or...

apparently you get an organization called PATH, a core group of volunteers, with a dash of hollywood community group, joined with the police who then coordinate a very specific route that should take all the groups around the entire boundary of hollywood from 11pm-2am.

RW: Hollywood? Um... i can only say that i hope i don't run into them unless it's at church. though watching the hood... that might be nice.

I hope your Chinese food had ginger in it.

Why do they count the homeless?
