A Place to Procrastinate

Sorry for the Delinquency... 
I have completely neglected my weblog and I feel terrible. I have a few excuses, but I won’t list them. Instead, I will list what has been going on:

-I went to NYC for a week. I saw so much art that I actually go tired of looking at it- any of it. I have to say that my favorite was Kirsten Hassenfeld at Bellwether.
-I was hungover almost every morning and I smoked cigarettes almost every night. BAD!!!
-I made a good contact while I was there. I actually made the trip to make this contact.
-Don’t ask me how or why, but I had a very difficult time coordinating my trip to New York and I started to get scared. Like maybe fate was trying to tell me something, and maybe my plane was going to crash.
-I almost didn’t even get to meet my contact but everything fell into place and made all of the hassle worth it.
-I definitely had more energy to run around the city and dance all night when I visited 4 years ago. I only danced one night and it took a lot of effort. I could have been because the tech-house music was a bit too on the techy side.
-I got food poisoning right before I left for NYC and it took me days to recover. Then it took me days to recover from my trip when I came back.
-4 other people got food poisoning too.
-I know that I am better now because yesterday I consumed half a bag of pork rinds. Gosh, I am almost embarrassed to admit that I eat the stuff!
-When my plane landed in NY, I checked my cell phone messages and found out that I no longer have my job. That put a damper on my trip.
-I lost my job due to Mr. H’s daughter wanting to save money and also because she sought revenge on me because I dared to say no to her. Nope, she wouldn’t negotiate with me. I just got a message from her assistant.
-I am on sabbatical from the suicide hotline. I have too much to do and now that I lost my job, I have to focus more on my needs.
-I’m quite upset to have my financial stability pulled out from under me and I have to now rethink a lot of what is going on in my life. In the meantime, it is back to the “jobbettes”
-I have 3 pieces in a show next month titled “Jubilation! Art in our library”.
-I FINALLY sent my headshots to the printer and bought a monthly publication called The Agencies. So here is a bit of online reality show…Can Amparo find an agent and land a commercial?? Stay tuned!!
