working, working all the time, but not being paid any money. i'm still helping my buddy dave to build lofts in a warehouse he's renting. it's coming along well, but there's still a hell of a lot to do. the structure for the rooms is nearly done. it's basically the wiring that we have to worry about. with luck, we will be able to finish that in the next couple of days. there's still a lot to do on his room, which we've been saving for last, and we also have to demolish and rebuild the bathrooms, which is going to be a big chore, particularly since our experience with plumbing is... minimal.
there's some excitement on the horizon, though. i once mentioned a guy who was such a schmuck that we called him boner mcgee. he called me the other day and told me that he knew a guy who was production manager for a touring theater production of porgy and bess, which would be on the road for three months this summer in europe. i'm conflicted about it, because i want to get moving on all the goals i came to california with three years ago, before i got sidetracked again and again. but it's europe and i should obviously just go for it.
the other consideration is that i was told today that i might be in a position to do some production design work for a friend of a friend, and it's just the sort of situation i'd been hoping for, because it seems like the expectations that he would have would be based on the work that he's seen me do, and not on something wishy washy, like a resume that i've had to bolster so that it wouldn't be thrown away without a second glance.
my friend kevin has been in town from seattle this past week. he's leaving tomorrow, and i feel like i haven't spent much time with him. i guess we hung out three nights, which isn't bad considering he was only here for seven days. still, i wish i had seen more of him. i hope i can make it up to him by sending some obey stuff his way.
my tiny apartment is coming along well, but i haven't brought any ladies here yet. i guess i could have, though, because i've gotten nothing but compliments on my new haircut. girls seem to love it. i went to a party the other day and my friends kept asking me if i was on the prowl...
fuck it. i'll write more later.
