happy wednesday.

Just in case you live under a rock, don't pay attention to music blogs, and have any interest in Wavves ...

DL: Wavves - Mickey Mouse

strike that. reverse it.

Strike what I said about axing AFS... after talking with some senior apprentices today, I think I may want to stick around. I find the idea of working in the film industry somewhat daunting; I was discouraged from ever seriously attempting it throughout my entire childhood. Your parents might indulge your fleeting fancies (i.e. Can I be a star, mommy? Of course you can!), but they'll keep you in check all the same. "Fun" careers are achieved only by a select and lucky few. I don't want to be an actress, nor do I particularly want to be famous. At the end of the day, I just want to feel validated by the work I'm doing and happy with myself. It seems like there are a gazillion parts and pieces of the film industry I could get my hands on, and maybe be successful at managing/working on someday down the road. Who knows? Life trajectory shifts yet again.

For kicks. To make reading this entry worth while, you know.

p.s. Stop by The Marq tomorrow night (Wednesday) anytime until close for $2 domestics and awesome dj sets by both Ozton and Davros. I'll probably be there at some point in the night, barring natural disasters and other things of the sort.

get your kicks.

Cool.

Tiger Baby - That Feeling
Tiger Baby - Shy

I listened to Lost In You by Tiger Baby time and time again while on the metro in Santiago. For some reason the breathy vocals, and the sometimes elevator-like background electro beeps and blips, seemed to suit the sense of disassociation and isolation I used to experience while on the trains. There's something beautiful about feeling one and alone when surrounded by a hundred other living, breathing, dysfunctional souls.

Once again, I'm on the hunt for another internship/job. I'm not sure yet if I'll stay on at AFS in the fall and become an apprentice. I love working at and around Austin Studios, but a paid gig would be nice ;) In terms of career development, I'm beginning to drift back toward Hispanic market research and Latino targeted advertising/marketing. That's kinda where I wanna end up, but how? I feel this irrepressible need to have everything ironed out now, but I realize how unreasonable that desire is. I'm soliciting tips/tricks for figuring it out.

I gotta be up ridiculously early tomorrow... to spend a full day at AFS. Normal morning shift + kids summer film making camp. Zero compensation. So it goes.

night~

I apologize for the prolonged lull in blogging. This, ironically enough, is my 100th post. Little did my blog realize how disappointing and anticlimactic this once deemed momentous occasion would turn out to be. I'll soon be posting pics from Saturday night - Ghostland Observatory after party with Autobody (not sure on the sp here as I couldn't uncover a Myspace; this was their first ever gig, & gotta say, it was spectacular).

For the moment, I leave you with the above photo recently highlighted over on File.

Indulge.

Andddd guess what? This is my 99th post. Looks like we're coming up on quite a momentous occasion ;)

If you're up for some top notch mingling and socializing, come out to The Marq downtown tonight. It's at 4th & Congress. Ozton and Davros will be throwing down some sick beats. $2 domestics all night. See y'all there.

Sade - Smooth Operator

I had my iPod on shuffle at the gym today, and guess who popped up? SADE. Smooth Operator is so reminiscent of my childhood. I nearly laughed out loud whilst cycling away. Needless to say, the track instantly brightened my afternoon.

Hoover's, on the other hand, made my evening. mmm the delights of home cooking! I ordered chicken fried chicken with jalapeño creamed spinach and mac 'n cheese as my two sides. So delicious, so fattening. The perfect workout follow up? I think yes. Check out some of Hoover's stellar reviews at Yelp.

happy monday night~
