image dump and boring life stuff
Dec. 21st, 2018 12:32 amThis was another pretty interview-heavy week, though I'm pretty sure I won't know anything about any of these jobs until after the holidays. It's always a bit awkward trying to tell people how my interviews go because I am just one of those lucky bastards who naturally interview well. So, even if I don't think I'm super into, the interview tends to go well and I miss out on jobs more from lack of experience than from lack of charisma. So, the interviews all went well! But that just doesn't guarantee a hire for me!
I had a job interview today on Capitol Hill and since it was a nasty, windy, intermittently rainy day, I sat myself down post-interview and did ( some drawing ). The place where I interviewed was also DANGEROUSLY near the Blick art supply store in Capitol Hill and, well, I restrained myself as best I could. I'm going to call my mom on Saturday and, when I do, I'm going to thank her for buying me all those art supplies when I was in high school. Shit's expensive!! I played with the Faber-Castell alcohol-based brush pen markers and... Dang... They were nice. But, like, I have never colored with markers! So it's not like I need them! I need to stop spending money on art supplies that I play with once or twice and then never use! (I'm looking at you, oil pastels.) I just want to learn how to do/use all the things!
Then, I came home and did ( some more drawing ).
In between, I decided to document my real experience with the wind and put my phone up against my face and took some pictures of what my hair was doing. It has not been easy to see all week! Only ( one shot ) really fully expressed what my vantage has been like, so here it is.
J and I watched the Great British Bake Off holiday special and it was very nice, since GBBO is always very nice. J and I also decided not to put our tree up this year. We had our tree up for a REALLY long time last year and, well, it just hasn't been down long enough? We both were really carefully not talking about it as we were each hoping the other wouldn't bring it up. Once we finally breached the subject with one another we were both really relieved to know we were on the same page! We've only been together for, like, ten years so it's not like we know one another or anything. ;) So we have a pile of Amazon boxes that I've been referring to as our tree. At least it's less annoying if the cats knock it over than it would be if we had an actual tree up.
I'm hoping that J will feel up to seeing Mary Poppins this weekend. Fingers crossed! It seems like it's pretty charming and I'm kind of feeling like I'd like Emily Blunt if she did pretty much anything ever?
