I Got A Job Finally!

Today has been one of the best days I've had in a while. I just got my first job as a ghostly tour guide at Ghosts of Marietta. This means I get paid to go galavanting around town in Victorian garb while telling ghost stories! I'm incredibly excited. I start when I get my script memorized...unfortunately that means I'll be starting late July. It's a very big script. Still, I have a dream job that also gives me enough time in the day to hold down another part time job. :)

A couple of hours from now, I'll be going to get my nose pierced. My best friend's going to be filming the experience. If everything works out as planned, I'll have the video and pictures of the piercing up by tomorrow. I also plan on getting a center labret piercing sometime soon, but I don't know when that will be. Anyhow, wish me luck!

Besides, some very good authors and artists came out of that era. Speaking of 20's artists and writers, If you have not seen Midnight in Paris, then you certainly should.

DIY Moon Patch

Sometimes, I get the inexplicable desire to paint patches. This time, I had an image of the moon phases in my head. The next thing I knew, I was pinning the patch on to the back of my jean vest. I was very pleased with how it turned out. What do you think? In progress The finished product

Why I Still Use CD's

Second Wave Compilation, Talking Heads, and SOM all purchased at a used book store Are CD's obsolete? With all of this digital downloading, most people don't even bother with them. Even vinyls (which are technically obsolete) have a vintage charm which CD's currently lack. I have a friend who jokes, "It's 2013. Who listens to CD's anymore?" while knowing full well that I still buy them. It might seem that I have luddite tendencies--I don't use an e reader either. However, I can make some very good arguments for purchasing CD's. Buying your music on compact disks nowadays is really cheap, especially if you know where to look. I tend to shop for them at Goodwill, thrift stores, and used book stores. I found Ministry's Psalm 69 (in very good condition) at my local Goodwill for only $1. Keep in mind, many people pay that much for a digital copy of one song. When I shop for them at my local used book store, the CD's are guaranteed to be i...
