So, I've never really been one to look in the mirror and think, "Oh, yes! You are so sexy! I'd do you in a New York minute!" However, I got the weirdest offer EVER! Someone from a modeling agency contacted me yesterday. Now, let me back up a few paces. This mail was sent to an email address that I seldom use, but a public profile that I have fairly recent pics on (though I'm not sure I've got the same ones here, but whatever, doesnt matter....). I just so happened to have the itch to check this said account this morning. Said I had mail from my public profile from an address I'd NEVER seen before. OK, well, whatever, I check it. This chick says she saw my profile and wants to know If I would be interested in modeling. Probably not. But whatever. Nice to know someone out there thinks I've got what it takes. Nice compliment, I suppose. But far too a pretentious and demanding and plastic industry that is. The funny thing is, I don't even think that it's alternative modeling (checked 'em out on the web) and in my pics, ya can't see the tats. Oh! How I'm sure they'd shit a brink once they layed their eyes on these puppies!

In other news, I won't be going to philly. That's right folks. Money tree went bare with a swift gust of the good Ol' mechanical repair wind on wednesday. I have to say, I am pretty bummed about it. This was an event that I'd been prepairing for since march of this year. My situation goes as follows:

-June- Boss tells lil Ruca that she's getting a HUGE bonus the last pay check in July. Ok, cool, don't need to save for the trip 'cause there will be loads of cash to take to the tattoo convention that weekend! Yay, right? well...

-One and a half weeks ago- Boss tells Ol' Rucs that the Bonus isn't being paid out until the first pay check in August. Apparently the Big boss had a change of heart. So, the Rude_Ruca just about shits herself. Then, she has a novel idea to be thrifty with the pay check she just recieved and just use that for the show...

-Two days ago- Driving home, Ruca's lil hot rod decides to shimmy and shake everytime the accelorator is pressed down upon. Having some mechanical knowledge, there is an assumed diagonosis, but Ruca thinks it'd be better to take the lil engine that could to a shop to get a professional opinion. 315 bones later, Ruca's got great brakes and bearings on her wheels, but now, no trip to philly....

So...I could bitch and moan about this, but the bright side of this is that I did the right thing and didn't ignore the problem (like usual) leaving two people in harm's way, or at least stranded on the road some where, one possibly dodging traffic to retrieve a tire that came flying off of said lil hot rod...

Also, as of saturday, I will have officially worked 12 days with not a single day off. Could someone please drop a brick on my head? I need a break for a few days.... Ain't life grand???

Also, I am sincerely sorry that I have missed some of the best music festivals this summer: The Blues festival, Reggae Festival and The Bluegrass festival each held every year at the local vineyard, Linganore Wine Cellars
