Still no luck with the job market. I feel like a student again living off of the bare minimum, buying the special deals of cheap Shampoo and Conditioner packs and avoiding my car so I don't have to pay for gas. Oh, it's not that bad, really. I get to take public transportation again. I forgot how entertaining that was. I was on the bus today and some girl sat next to me and started complimenting my rings... product of Vernisage, of course. Last week, I was sitting at the bus stop and a model scout asked me to go in for a modelling audition. But I felt a little silly taking a modelling offer after all these years of bashing the entire industry. Hypocrisy doesn't suit me. But I wont say I wasn't flattered. :)
Anyway, through all the glum hoplessness of the American economy, I'm finding sanity outlets. I'm now listening to the Hover CD I designed with Pomegranate Music and I'm so pleased with the outcome. I just got recommended by a friend to design Datevik Hovannesian's CD. I'm also getting started on the next Pomegranate CD, of which I will be working with Garo Lachinian, a photographer, to design the cover. It's definitely inspiring working with so many talents. So it's hard not to smile through all this when I still consider myself lucky. Hell, I even have my own office with a fancy computer and nicely painted light blue walls... the AYF office. I may not be getting paid much, but it's a place to hang my hat where there's high speed internet and privacy. Yipee!
I will confess I'm a little concerned for my parents. For those of you in Armenia who may not be up on the latest news in America... I know how you all avoid watching CNN. The "sniper" shootings in the Washington area have now killed what, 9 people? It is all happening in my parents' back yard. Can't say I'm not scared. I was talking to my father the other day and told him to walk zig zag everywhere and to pump gas with his back to the station (tips they've been giving on the news to avoid getting shot). I suppose my parents are grown up, they know how to handle themselves. They are so cute, though.
