Monday Monday

For some reason Mondays are when all the crazies come out to craigslist to entertain the unemployed masses. Here are 2 fun ones:

Yes, just draw a line. I put a Banksy stencil on my wall and I need to connect the two parts of it with a line that wanders all over a wall that will cover around an area of about 10 feet wide by 7 feet tall. I would like it to have it look like a fun urban tangle on the wall. Just need you to do it with a pencil and I will paint it. Guessing that it will take about an hour or so including a quick sketch of what it might look like before you come over.

Please send me some samples.

I woke up this morning thinking about strawberry pancakes with whipped cream but settled for strawberry yogurt with cereal instead. I was starving less than 3 hours later, I really don't like having to eat so often.

Today's stress is computer induced. What to do what to do. It seems stupid to spend $550 to fix a 4 year old computer when i can buy a new one for 1100, basically twice as much. But I hate falling in to the capitalist trap. And since i can't seem to land a job using final cut or any other programs i slaved over at school and all i really do these days is surf the web and send out coverletters maybe it's stupid to buy a powerful machine, and yet what if some kick ass editing job is right around the corner but they need someone with their own operating system? Who knows what's behind door number 2.

Last time i bought a computer i felt like they were nickle and diming me so much that i decided to save $200 and not have the capacity to burn DVD's, one of the dumber computer decisions i made. I feel myself again getting defensive in light of all they are trying to get me to buy but i don't want to get screwed.

I don't understand how people think of shopping as fun. . .
