I have a photo shoot for my acting/modeling portfolio tomorrow. The photographer just called, and he seems nice. I was originally supposed to go in at 4:30, but now it's been changed to 2:30, which works better. I won't get home quite so late, hopefully, and I'll be plenty rested for class on Friday. I'm both excited and nervous about this shoot. I hope I...

Exactly... what Teh Ferretguy said.

To him you will listen. Wise Jedi, is he.
As some of you may know, I'm a huge fan of the opera. Imagine my dismay when reading the headline that Luciano Pavarotti died this morning. I know that he had cancer and was probably suffering, but I'm still sad. Pavarotti was a truly distinctive tenor and a kind of ambassador from the world of the opera to the world of pop culture. He will...

He had a good run. At least the suffering is over.

I know, I saw it on the news last night and it was completely 
I lack the knowledge, I know I heard someone say that he was not technically the best tenor but that his contributions were priceless to take it to the masses, and that much, I can't help but agree with.

Today, instead of being a lazy piece of shit and taking a nap, I did some yoga. I found a great website that updates with a new, hour-long yoga instruction video every day. For free! For real! Yoga Today. I'm going to try to do yoga more often, because it makes me feel good.

Good for you.

I'll miss you too, love. But as someone once said:
I'll never leave. Not even if you kill me.

Dear readers, your good luck wishes were highly effective! I now have an agent and, earlier today, I went to my first audition. It was loads of fun and involved stomping on a man pretending to be a giant grape, then stalking him with a toy rifle as he pretended to be a deer in the forest. Whether I get the job or not, I...

Congrats on your fun audition
A giant Grape, eh? Where you trying out for a new version of "Attack of the Killer Tomatos?"

I love that in the one week since I last read what you posted, you decided to be an actress, got an acting gig, AND an agent. You move quick.

I randomly submitted an application to a talent agency, and they actually got in touch with me. I was surprised. Anyway, all I really wanted was to possibly pick up some acting work as an extra for a little bit of cash. I have an interview on Thursday. What do I wear? Do I cover up my tats for fear of pre-judgment, or do I...

Errr... tough call.
Good luck, though... whichever way you play it.

It's amazing the power our brains hold to convince us that the obvious is untrue. All we really have to do is want something to be true or untrue, and our brains muster beliefs and faulty observations and interpretations to construct "truth." Think how different our lives would be without our self-deceptions, large and small. Would things be better? Worse? What do you think?

Much (MUCH) worse. My whole life has been me convincing myself the untrue is true -- that I'm awesome, that there's space aliens, that there is such thing as the Easter Bunny (but not Santa), that Elvis isn't dead, etc.
My world would fall apart!

I'm gonig with worse. The mind will block out some things that you might wish that it didn't... but it also blocks out a whole hell of a lot that you'll be happiest not knowing about.
I won't speculate whether or not my roadtrip will be a good thing or bad thing if we end up stumbling around drunk... it is what it is.

It's the one year anniversary of emergency contraception being available here in the U.S. without a prescription. Hooray for reproductive freedoms! Hooray, too, for Planned Parenthood, which released the following whimsical video to mark the day:

To be honest I'd probably buy both, but then again, I'm an idiot unable to control my impulse to buy stuff. Considering the last sentence, my advice would be that you wait, but if you absolutely must get one, go for the cheaper option.
If the difference is less than $5, then go for the coat, it's prettier & you'll get more juice out of it.

I just wrote a nonsense poem. It isn't especially good, but it's the most I've done, writing-wise, all summer. I'm both proud of my modest accomplishment and saddened by it.
Today as I was about to walk into a building on campus, a man was about to walk out of the same building, at the same moment. I was ready to hold the door for him, because it's polite, but he surprised me. He held the door for me and said, "There are a few left." Presumably he meant a few gentlemen, or a few...

A fine gesture, but he meant there are a few decent people left, for a true gentleman will never point himself out as one.
DISCLAIMER: Ferretbite is upset, so don't take his comment too seriously, he truly thinks there should be more kindness like that.
