Fuck yes!

I'm going to NEW YORK!!! This will be my first time EVER. Last July, my bff moved there to teach for two years and I'm going to be staying with him at his place in the Bronx. I feel like my dream of reenacting The Warriors might finally come true!

Other than that I spent way too much money on some new bras today (a third of what I paid for my plane ticket). But it's really time I start investing in my looks. Seriously.

Temp

I'm temping at NBBJ. They're awesome and also where my dad works. I get to compile all of their software licenses and organize/update them throughout the firm. It'll only last about two weeks.
Still looking for longterm work. It's pretty lousy since most folks are only hiring contractors right now.

People are really annoying me right now. Luckily no one I actually know. Just people in passing. Annoying.

Art Walk was rescheduled to today, which I will be going to with Anna. An old college friend is showing some of his stuff at some studio downtown. Haven't seen him in a while.

This is so forced. I don't even know why I keep writing.

A New Year...

It's 2009. I've started it off by filing for unemployment, buying more camera gear, and updating my website.

Tobi made a good point yesterday; I need to get working on some different projects. I could've just left my website as is, but I decided to change the albums to flash and clean it up a bit. The html was really messy. Check it out: www.sachamaxim.com

I applied for a job recently at a local AIDS organization. I was narrowed down as one of their final two candidates, but I called it off. I'm tired of working jobs that aren't taking me in the direction I want to be headed. I'd really like to break into some design or photography related job, even if it's super low entry-level. Even an internship. I'm just through treading water at this moment.

I realize now is no time to be picky about work. But said position wanted a 2 year commitment, which I really couldn't get down with.

For now, I'm going to make some biz cards. Send my portfolio to some local magazines/newspapers. Hit up art walk this Thursday for inspiration. I feel good about not rushing into a job that I may not particularly like. Hopefully within a months time everything will get sorted out.

Oh, I also got everything I asked for xmas. Minus the ceramic crinkle cups. But seeing as how I won't be moving out anytime soon, that's not a huge deal for me.
