Trying to Level Off...

So I wanted to report when I had some good news, or things were at least stable. Doesn't seem like that's happening any time soon, so I'll just go ahead and give a quick update.

I'm living in an apartment with Chris, and it's an awesome apartment. I really like it. So that's a good thing.

I've had two jobs, but don't have them anymore for various reasons, which is upsetting. So now I'm looking for work again, which I completely deplore. So if anybody's got any job leads, please let me know.

Aside from job concerns, I've had trouble sleeping. I'm always exhausted and never sleep a good, consistent amount and it's really caused trouble. I just can't sleep. I guess I should look into getting some sleep-aid or something.

Ryan Adams played Houston on Thursday night and it was awesome. At times there were extended jams, and there was a lot of joking around between Ryan, the band, and the audience (though for the most part the crowd were assholes). He even played a couple of minutes of "Freebird" which was hilarious. It was a fantastic show, and if anybody gets the chance to see him, I highly recommend it. Sober Ryan puts on a great, consistent performance now.

Yesterday I went to a film meet-up where I was the only one there other than the person that organized it (well, aside from a crazy old lady carrying a little dog who stopped in for a while). But that was ok, she was a really awesome, driven person and we've committed to trying to pull together a short film by the end of the year, which is exciting. Besides, one incredibly driven, determined person is worth 5 people with a vague, "yeah, let's do something."

Last night I went on a blind date from that website crazyblindate.com, and that was pretty cool/interesting. I'm all up for trying new things and meeting new people. Afterwards I went and saw Man Man, who were simply incredible. The amount of energy they put into each and every show is astounding. It was so much fun and I danced my ass off, leaving the place wringing with sweat. But that's how a good concert should be.

It's finally getting slightly cooler (AKA not sweat-pouring heat), so I'm going to take advantage of it and go to the park. If it's a nice day where you are, try to enjoy it and have fun.

Maybe next time I'll have some better news and some pictures. Until then...
