The weather in Toronto is brutal today - It's cold and rainy, and I would rather it snowed. It also plays havoc with my migraines, as pressure is one of my big triggers. I'm doing acupuncture again to try to be rid of them - it helps with a lot of different issues I have, so I hope that it will continue to do so.
I have a weird weekend coming up - I have to finish and assemble a project for the SO; I have a show and a big gathering on Sunday; I have a commercial audition (!?!?!) on Saturday morning for a 'real people' sorta campaign - and it don't get realer than me, baby. Wish me luck - though I am not interested in acting and stuff these days, I am interested in the cash infusion a spot in a campaign could give me - so I am going to go on with my charming self and knock their socks off.
Also, I haven't heard ANYTHING about Pop Culture Show, despite emails and IMs. Maybe going off to try to see my brother's kid be born was a bad decision, but if so? Oh well. My family is important to me, and if people can't understand that these things happen, fuck 'em. I am getting that attitude more often lately - if you won't work with me based on my fashion, or my political beliefs, or occasional familial obligations, well. Whatever. I still hope to hear from the Producer Guy though, as it's a neat show idea.
And thanks to caroline for the note about The Nine - my interest in the show waned when I was sick and when I realized that the events during the hostage taking were more compelling than those afterward. Maybe it's another one of those shows that would have been well-served by a limited run - like 1 show per hour of the negotiation, half in the past, half in the present. I guess, in the end, I didn't see enough of what happened to keep my interest up... however, it was a great cast and an interesting idea - so raise a glass to The Nine tonight or tomorrow. Or take a hit from the bong. Whatever works for you.
ETA: Also, I am now taking a course on Canadian Cultural Policy. Oooh! So, soon, I should be the Queen of CanCon Info, and I thus welcome everyone to ask me questions, as it will make me do my readings.

well done - see that was easy
hey girlie, hope the migraines didn't hit you too hard
holy frac is it cold tonight ... i know, will, not regina cold but for her, pretty damn cold
sorry about the producer guy ... maybe try calling him and just explain that you obviously crossed wires, it was a very large deal for your family and that you are otherwise normally quite reliable ... also reiterate how very excited and passionate you are about the project and that you really look forward to working with him ... sometimes electronic communication doesn't convey that what you really need it to ... sincerity, likeability and gumption all fine examples
if the phone appeal doesn't work, then cut your losses ... if he calls later, it will be a great bonus but otherwise don't waste energy where it isn't wanted or needed
as for the judgementalness of this business, it's rough, i won't lie, and often i think worse on women ... really, if someone's that shallow, probably the situation is not a good fit for you, anyway, because you seem like a feisty, dare i say, strong-willed, young lady ... best look for someone who doesn't mind a little spirit and would rather be disagreed with than butt-kissed
that's all i got today, sunshine ... have a good week, everyone
ps what is the deal with your hair that it could make you unemployable? enquiring minds wanna know!
