Good day so far...
Aug. 1st, 2006 01:06 pmSo, last night, but really this morning, I got a letter from the folks in NYC asking me very nicely when I would like to screen in Staten Island. It will apparently be in a bar/restaraunt called Karl's Klipper on 40 Bay Street. Any of you NYC types heard of the place or familiar with the area? Any locals interested in coming down and saying 'Hi' when I go to introduce my film? Anyway, so that's exciting.
Point of interest #2: I won a prize this morning! Yesterday I went to the gym and they were having some sort of promotion. They had a drawing and so I filled out a slip and entered. And I won! I won a whole $5 gift certificate to the nearby cafe thingie, but hey! The important thing is that I won something. It may be a sandwich, but I don't have to pay for it, do I? :D
#3) I have a job. I will be working at a local fruit stand, outside in the killing heat. However, I'll be getting $1 more than minimum wage here (a whole $6!) and it looks like I can get a ton of hours, so that oughta pay for my trips to Vancouver and DC and NYC.
#4) We have people looking at the house! Right this very instant. I am typing at the computer and appearing to look busy so I stay out of the way. Hopefully, these nice people will buy the house and then I can move straight back to the northwest. Hurrah!
#5) Also, I am slowly and surely losing weight again. Still about 10-15 pounds up from where I would like to be, but I'm fairly confident I can be back to my Vancouver weight by the time of the wedding. Which is good, because when I came to visit Vancouver in April I actually cried in my kitchen the week before because I was so embarrassed of how I looked, and how none of my nice clothes fit. Now hopefully I will be back in the low 150s in September so I can look extra specially alluring to all those celebrities who I need to talk into giving me Canadian employment.
