So my firstweek of paid digi pics was pretty cool. The people are nice to work withand im finallystarting to get the hang of how everything works even though theyres so mcuh shit i dont get. Ah well. I did however have to sacrifice one day of work because it was my aunties wedding in wagga and i was in the bridal party.

Everyone knows how much i dislike weddings and all the associated crap involed int he damnned thigs but this one wasnt that bad. Apart from the fact it was 39 degrees and we were all decked out in barongs it wasnt that bad. We went to collins park which ive thought is the best park in wagga aestheically and best presented and looked after. The wedding was there uder some big tree and didn't take very long. The photos dragged on for a bit and a 2 hr wait before the reception started meant more waiting around but once we got to the commercial club it was great.

I was drinking with joey, joey tampas, poli and rhea and lady. I was on extra dry for a while until we left and then got on the smirnoff blacks, old faithfuls once we got to the capital. Now im not a fan of the capital but i do have to admit i had a good time this night, which i usually do when im with all my cousins. Dont have to worry about anything when im out with them.

I spent most of sunday hungover and crashed out in front of the altar at mums, the most obscure place for me to sleep. but cofy nevertheless. The after lunch i got up and we headed out and saw rhea and poli then were going to see a movie but decided chicken was more important. Went and played pool at the home and then visited Gen and Lady at lampi and talked and caught up all night. I had to catch a bus at 7 in the morning so i was pretty tired by the time i got to sydney.

Great weekend but now im tired as and have to wake up at 4 in the morning for work. And now the art director job might be starting so well see what happens with that. I might have to go part time art director, or just assist with art dept on my off days.

joy!

decisions

After talking things through with several people who i thank for their help, ive decided o go with the digi pics job. I waited and once i got more information i found out that its very unlikely that the film job will go through anytime soon. So ive started work at digi pics and have already finished my week of training. Next week i start as a freelance which is what everyone there is and ill be doing tapes in the tape room. The good thing is that i dont work a full week every week and ill be able to get some time to myself while earning some cash.

Went out a few times and gotten myself well and truly drunk, headed to the towny last friday and headed to the metropolitan last night and am still hung over from that. Got Jenious's wedding tomoz but i start work at 6 which means i have to wake at 4am so sleep at 10pm at the latest and leave the reception at 8. Hmm thats gunna be fun. oh well no piss for me.

ah, back inthe work force. so tired. Will wait and see on how the art director thing goes. But atm digi pics is fing cool. Three out of the four days of training ive done weve gotten pissed at lunch time. alchos for sure in this industry.

post newies

been bumming around since newies, had a barbie and been playing halo.

So on the 2nd i get called by digital pictures and they offer me a job as a runner and tape op. so a full time jnr position. Stable and secure and lasting a long time

Then i get called yesterday by vic and get offered a job as a art director on the stone chronicles, which is for three months and more of a chance postion, more of a chase of the dream.

So now i have to choose between a stable secure job with a fruitfull fullfilling company thats a great opportunity and id be stupid to turn down compared to a art director job which is fruitfull and also fullfilling but short term. I could take the secure office job or take the not secure later art director job.

Damn life choices.

newies

Hmmmmm. so now what do i do.

post xmas saw me come back to sydney and move my shit out of my last place and into my new. It started with me and trent got stef from her place, picked up bec from the station and then got a case of extra dry and headed to westies place. Matt who also lives there also got pissed and john kj and susan also made themselves available for drunken disordely conduct.

Then headed to circ quay and saw the fireworks after loosing john matt kj and susan soemwhere around the toilets. Mobile phone traffic meant no chance of catching up again. met up with megan and pina infront of macca. Saw the fireworks and then headed back. Was pretty good this year and i saw no signs of people spewing or passed out in bushes.

The survivors headed off into town to look for a cool place to party on. Some pub on bridge street had turned its speakers out into the street and people were dancing and partying in the street. After that we found ourselves above another maccas at a place called metropolitan hotel i think. It had three levels and we started on the second but after a while they came over and said "were closing this level you can either go to the bottom floor or up to the roof". We didn't even know there was a roof but once we were up there it was mad. this rooftop overlooked a cross intersection as heap of party goers headed back to the city after seeing the fireworks. We drank danced yelled and threw things at people as they walked past. immature but fun anyways. We partied on till late and crashed around daylight.

was a great night considering that no one planned anything.
