Stay employed when unemployed.

Its been hard to keep busy and feel productive while unemployed. I was doing better the first few weeks ... but now I have slowly lapsed into complacency. If I even make the slightest effort to find work, I consider myself done for the day and ready to relax.

I've been trying to make "to do" lists for myself and that seems to help. The positive element of this struggle is that it provides an insight into the artists life. I have been writing daily and consider that a triumph. On the other hand, I'm spreading myself thin with multiple hobby projects that have been started but not completed.

Its such a fine line to walk - I am constantly wishing I would get a call for work and also constantly in fear that I will get a job and be too busy to do all the things I have planned!! The problem is that each day I lose steam after 3pm and can't get anything done! So, starting tomorrow I am going to try and regroup and really make some progress. One of my problems is that my mind is never a rest... I am constantly thinking of new things that I want to try.

This entry is a bit of a ramble. I was trying to figure out how to tie in some more interesting element or bit of information... but I think I better just end it in the interest of moving forward to bigger and better things. Or, perhaps I should say, just wait until the next Post! I will have something exciting to say! I promise!

Our Annual Visit from Oscar.

Okay... so I know I'm a little late...

Were the Oscars boring this year? Or rather, did YOU think they were boring? I've really developed a liking for Adam Shankman and was very excited to hear that he was producing the Oscars this year, but I have to say that I was VERY disappointed. I thought they were totally wooden and ordinary.

Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin's opening Monologue wasn't funny

We didn't' get to hear Lauren Bacall speak

Seemed to move slow for the first hour - which was supposed to be the most exciting. Didn't have a theme. Remember when there was the whole Cirque du Soleil theme?

Also, didn't like all the poofy skirts on the dresses. and messy hair (Jennifer Lopez and Sarah Jessica Parker.

High Points - Hot Elizabeth Smart and the dance crew. Sandra Bullock's speech. Amazing the a woman won best director.
