things are definitely better than last year. last year i went without any work for some two and a half months. sounds great i bet BUT then had to worry about all those pesky things like "rent" and "groceries". so it wasn't all that awesome.
this year looked like it was going to be the same-maybe a little easier, but still kinda shitty. i bit the bullet and asked my dad for some dough. he obliged wonderfully without even a sideward glance, and gave us about 1.5 months of living expense money. so it was looking we were just gonna squeak by.
the day after i deposit the check, my boss calls and tells me we got these three extra movies. that's a glorious revelation. we're doing really well then.
and then, today, he tells me that not only is that happening, but we also have about three more side projects that are happening at the exact same time. he then called later to tell me that he'd be driving my past due checks over, and that he had ordered an HD system.
also awesome-
about a month ago, i found a praying mantis on my steps. I put it in a glass and ran out to the first people I saw. they said "hey neat" and then one lady said "OMFG my son has a praying mantis! he loves it! can he have it?" and calls him on a cell phone.
and this 12 year old kid comes haulassing barefoot down the street. he grabs his mantis bucket, and we drop the little bugger in. well, turns out that that was a pregnant female. she laid her eggsack of 300-500 babies! i guess only a few will survive but :D:D:D
i feel really blessed and lucky
and i'm on a major david lynch kick. i watched all of twin peaks last week, and dune last night.

love how you connect finding a cute creepy crawly with 'big things' like work and income
there are no little things

I had a similar year really: quitting shit jobs for work i like, having to borrow money from the parents as a result. I#m living on fuck all but at least i'm not a gibbering anxious wreck like i was almost this time last year.
Also, re: twin peaks.
Shelly? what? Audrey Horne is all you need.
I tend to watch twin peaks all the way through about once a year now. It's shit divx copies with swedish subtitles, but somehow that makes it even better.
Favourites are Leo's awful acting, the wierd magic kid on the meals on wheels route, and Bob is scary as fuck throughout.
