its a reagan crazy world

i had this great, moderately intelligent, rant about politics and the reagan comments made by the candidates and then the damn web browser 'unexpectedly quit'

crap.

oh well, the gist is i am amazed at the media. the way they take a story that they say themselves is a non-story and are writing about the non-story that it is. its incredible to me. its also a bloody shame that the nature of politics is taking a comprehensive statement and turning it into bits and bites, mcnuggets that can be used for anyones use. i dont know, its pretty irritating. what happened to raising the level of debate? what happened to making this election an election of ideas, of concepts, of things that truly matter. its sad.

so yesterday i was the production assistant on a casting session for a music video. it was unpaid but fun. i mean i sat around doing nothing, giving people sheets to sign in, telling the folks in the big room when people were there, making everything run a little smoother, but i felt useful and wonderful.

[even though it was freezing cold and i forgot to eat...oops...]

and it led to a maybe working on the video itself.

[this time paid!]

so thats exciting. and if i dont work on the video, i am working on a promo

[for free]

but that is exciting as well. and im going to KOKO on monday night to see like 4 bands or so with Stayaways folk. exciting exciting. life is looking up.

im hoping for more, always more.
