It's Spring Again. . .
So much has happened!
1. I quit my job! That's right, threw the hat right in the ring and said "Enough!" Since I was having many delusional scenes right out of "9 to 5" and making metaphors comaring the situation to "Grey Gardens," "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "Network" you can imagine what it had become. Of course, being a true Taurean "I hate change," I made sure to have a new job lined up. So, good-bye arts, hello hi-tech PR!
2. I went to the writer's conference in a very balmy climate. I can't say it was much different from this as I was the youngest person there by about 25 years, but it was fairly informative and I got some good feedback. We had many of the expected personalities including, people trying to write thinly guised stories about their own lives featuring: incest, the decrepit state of the aging female body mixed in with images of monkeys running around temples, horrifying forays into the female psyche and kind of boring prose about divorce. Overall, it was an experience with a capital "E" and I think I now officially have enough material to write endlessly, without pause. Oh, and the first night in our French B&B I had to call 9-1-1 on our neighbors. On a brighter note several of the ladies were still rockin' a sassy attitude and gave me an interesting insight: women are more like they were in their 20s (depending on friends, loving independence, sassy about men) when they are in their 60s. Now that was refreshing and gives me something to look forward to.
3. I quit my job! What an experience. It was like breaking up with someone--long, drawn out, exhausting and like carrying around a dead weight. And I only gave 2 weeks notice!
4. "The Hills" has returned and I am going to watch it without guilt.
5. It's spring!
