I went to six flags. It was raining this morning so there was no one there, and the rain turned into a drizzle/no rain for the rest of the day so I got to ride all the rides except one with the maximum wait time being 15 minutes. The last one I didn’t ride cause people started showing up and it said the wait time was 30 min and my some unrelated crap happened to my friend so they were in a bad mood so I didn’t want to make them wait. I’m amy case I am super happy. I’m gonna go back probably next weekend right when they open so I can get that ride in.

I started working at a new pub this Tuesday, and today I finally felt like I'm starting to find my legs on how things are run. I've got more experience than most of my colleagues when it comes to the bar biz, so it feels really good to be able to show it.

I'm on this little island in a quiet fishing village, and so far this morning I've seen loons, kingfisher, a harbour seal, and a harbour porpoise, and I haven't even left my goddamn bedroom.

So today I went whale watching, and witnessed some newly discovered feeding behavior only known in this one particular sound and they only started doing it in the past 4 years. Some humpback whale figured out if you hold still with your mouth open, schools of fish will hide inside and then you can gulp them all up with no effort. It's been teaching others to do it too. We saw one do it today.

I found a $180 giftcard to a really nice restaurant nearby that I had forgotten about so me and my boyfriend had a surprise fancy dinner out before he has to leave for a while on Saturday. I got potato gnocchi with shaved corn, wax pepper & prosciutto soffritto, black truffle, and grana padano cheese. He got bucatini with smoked tuna, toasted garlic, capers, chili, roasted pepper & tomato passata, and nepitella. We split some burrata with prosciutto and focaccia bread on the side. It was a very nice surprise to ease off of what had been an on-and-off again frustrating and downright weird week

I'm trying not to get too worked up about it, but a publishing company I approached maybe six months ago about writing for them finally got back to me, saying they were interested in my ideas and exploring whether a partnership would work out. This is on top of the book I've already committed to myself to write, but if this project actually comes to fruition, I'll be over the moon. It was truly life-changing to get that email this morning.

I gave up art when I got my BFA. But recently, after having worked in a hostile work environment in a minimum wage job, I’ve really decided to work on my portfolio and get a REAL art job. I couldn’t remember much in Maya but then stuff came back to me so I was able to do SOME stuff, and I’m planning and working hard on a video I’m gonna make.

I recently left my retail job and started one in my career of choice coming with a 50% raise (which isn't actually that much considering what I was getting before, but whatever) and am in a new apartment and finally on my own. I have a car of my own for the first time in over 5 years, and today a blue apron box got dropped on my door for the previous resident; I did call blue apron and they told me to go ahead and keep it because they can't do a pickup / redrop because it's food so I got a free blue apron to top things off.

liz posted:This IS awesome. Congrats man, you give me hope! We need art in our lives. Sincerely - fellow BFA grad currently working in accounting... Thank you!! Work on it, there ARE art jobs out there. The worst thing you can do is get complacent or depressed and give up. Me and my friend are in the same boat as you, and we’re not working on our art stuff or portfolios so we’re trying to team up to work on resumes/websites to promote our work. She did have an art job but the company closed  so she’s a housewife and depressed so I want to work w her so we both succeed, and I hope you do too!!! You can do it man (or woman)!!!!(So technically yesterday and related to non-art job) Related: I made a somewhat crappy resume (based on my good resume) and got like 20 job offers that same day. Many/most companies were obviously lovely and scammy, but I have TWO INTERVIEWS already lined up. I know it’s call centers or whatever but it’s not my minimum wage job where they hate me so yay! Still working on the portfolio and stuff, I am super super excited and omg I found some files from my best project that I thought I had lost (the original video files); they were on my time machine drive that I had lost—it was in the basement under a pillow in my moms house, wtf. The videos themselves aren’t edited to final and those files are lost but I have the original videossssssss!!!!! I literally cried with happiness when I saw I had them.

Last winter, my husband's grandma developed shingles while in Mexico where she lives 5 months a year. She ended up being referred to a guy at the Saturday market who sold "happy cookies" which were just edibles. It really helped her with her pain. Today she posted a weed joke on Facebook. I think it's adorable.

My mum has been having some mild health issues the last few months. The symptoms she has could be due to something that needs treatment but is relatively benign, or something really really loving bad. Since of course I'm extremely anxious, I was super worried it would be the latter. Today she did a medical exam, and they confirmed it's the benign thing. To say I'm supremely relieved is an understatement.

After our landlord flipped and kicked us off a farm my fiance and I had invested money and time into for a year, my fiance's dad decided it's time to buy a family property and put us in charge of it. So if all goes well we'll have a homestead in a couple months!

I got selected for a deployment so I get to be miserable for a year, but I'm getting 70% extra pay so I'll finally be able to afford a house when I get back. I also got a cold call job offer on the same day from an organization I worked with a while ago. It's a crappy position with bad benefits, but it's nice to be wanted.
