I... am going crazy.
This last week or more has been really rough for me - I think I am having a reaction to the chemical at work that is used on the wood of the swing sets we make. I have small itchy welts on my forearms, and my neck, ears and underside of my chin is itching like hell. Add that to the fact that my legs are covered in bruises from this last week of work where I was farmed out to the hardest, hottest department of the company, and it all adds up to a giant "Kleio is not feeling sexy in the least" package. For the itching, the only thing that really seems to work at all is a sammich baggy of ice on the itchy areas - I've taken to sleeping on my arms so I don't itch myself as much while I sleep.
/sigh Definitely going to talk to my boss about this on Monday. The past week and a half has been unfuckingbearable thanks to this shit, and I need a remedy like you wouldn't believe. I even picked up a box of those Oatmeal Bath thingies, that are supposed to soothe itchy skin, but it's not having much of an effect.
Still no more Shootout pictures. I am also getting fucking anxious about this, but that's just a waiting game. I just really really want to show you guys and everything.
Went to see Transformers last night - it was kind of meh for me, though I was never really into the source material to begin with. Mainly I felt they could have made a lot better movie by making some different choices, particularly when it came to some of the characters. I won't really go any further, because it's sort of hard for me to articulate what I felt was really wrong, or what I would have done had it been my decision, but yeah. It really didn't do much for me (although car chases = hot imo).
Umumumum... yeah. Still no job interviews for Nick_Heretic, though he's still got a lot of applications out there. We're both starting to get fucking nervous about the future, and starting to really consider the fact that we'll be forced to stay in South Dakota for another six months or a year or so. If that's the case, however, I'm going to try to book a shoot with DanielK, who is an official SG Photog, and to save money for a trip to Denver for said shoot. Neither of us really want to stay here, but if there's no job for him, we can't afford to go anyplace, especially since I have a full-time job that gives me insurance here already. It's a major bummer, though, I'll tell ya.
Damn, what a downer journal. This just seems to be one of those rare times when I don't have a whole lot of super happy fun slide things to write about (though the Simpsons movie is less than a week away!!!!).
Heh, and speaking of that awesome movie, my awesome website designer pointed me to this little clip that I thought was particularly awesome:
*psst* It's awesome.
See? I can still end a downer-journal on a good note, right?
