getting laid (off)

i really wanted a new job...obviously on my own terms and not because the museum is going under. 60% of the staff gone. i'm gutted. we all are.

sigh. time to start over again (again).

the fireworks

Since Quebec I've been so v. disappointed in myself - my job hunt & my get in shape plan. I've had a brilliant lack of oomph. I think I'm in a post-grad school existential haze. At least i got to see sweet Ashley this week when we went to the midnight Eclipse premiere (ridiculously silly & fun). To redeem my(fangirl)self I will be working at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival in a couple weeks. Always immensely impressive & inspiring. Other goodness - new IT Crowd episodes started too!!!

All-in-all I made some great outreach connections for the museum this week...but, it's hard to stay positive when I'm not there full-time. Oh well. Grrrr!

Since I have a (rare) day off with my man tomorrow, I will leave my worries at the door and do the following:

Sleep in!
Go to the movies!
Indulge in sweet summer fruit & other delights!
& catch up on my film blog
Sundaycinema

the truth.

this weekend i re-watched movies by lubitsch, kubrick, meadows & lynch. i am so lucky to know these artist's work and to have made them integral to my life. i am NOT an artist...and i sometimes fancy that i am all about music or craft or academia...but the truth is, i am a film lover. it is NOT a cool thing to be. most of my friends have a talent or a profession, but i...i watch moving images. and honestly, those two words probably summarize me better than any other 2 words can ♥

san francisco treat - picture post!!

Ah...happiness. A De Young afternoon...just what I needed.

(museums that allow photography are my cuddle!)

how can they be tired of england.....

OMG! A real possibility of interning at the Design Museum in London?!?!! Maybe....possibly...a chance (slight or otherwise)...


fingers-crossed! fingers-crossed! fingers-crossed! fingers-crossed!
