Apr. 11th, 2005 07:39 amI have the sudden urge to take a train to a Farmer's Market and then buy hot food from a shop that is no more than a window in a brick wall. Must be spring. Boston's calling me.
*searches Boston for theatre jobs.*
We have none of these things (train, farmer's market, window-in-wall shops) in St. Nowhere. I'm feeling that old familiar hate for a place -- it's a hate that is not actually a hate, but feels like it because I'm just too restless to get out of here. I had the same thing in Oregon right around February of my senior year. It's one-part "about to be free of school WHEE" and two parts finally knowing this city well enough to go "ahyup. Nice enough place to spend three years, but I'm ready to move on."
Nobody's hiring dramaturges -- and I don't just mean in Boston. I've looked at major employers and jobsearch engines in every English-speaking country. Nobody's hiring anything I'm actually trained for, in fact. Rock on, I'm completely unemployable! My lib arts education is kicking in at last!
*sighs*
In other news, Juni, if you aren't reading Shortpacked, you should at least have a look at today's.

Commentary post-hack: Still totally funny, three years later.
ETA: For those who have asked. Yes, I will be selling masks in the next week or two. At the moment I have several Commedia-style masks, two skulls, a handful of "scrap" masks (two sunbursts, a poinsetta, and an abstract; these will start very cheap) and three separate versions of the Death Eater mask. Right now I'm waiting on trim to finish them with.
The way it will work is that I will post a list of masks for auction behind fake LJ-cuts in this journal. Each mask will have its own independent post in samsthesis which those cuts will link to. The auctions will run for three days. Depending on which Death Eater mask is the most popular, I'll probably make another set and sell them off after graduation. So, watch this space, and if you don't mind mask-spam you're welcome to FRIEND samsthesis, but please don't try to join, the membership is closed (this was my journal for keeping thesisy research in, but now all that's visible are quotes).
