Wow....


It's day 5 of my tension headache. While on the phone with my mother I said it might be my hair, rather thinking out loud. She then asked for a photo of how long it's gotten. I wasn't aware of the length. o_O It's easy to forget when it's always up. That would be to my thighs now. Classic, my goal since I started growing it out. I'll probably continue growing it. I've been growing it out for 9 years now (from a buzz cut), at this point it's just habit. It is annoying at this length though. Other people will sit on it if I'm not careful and that rather hurts. No wonder it's always up.

Now I see why I'm now being asked if I've ever even cut it (which I do, once every 6 months). It is in need of a trim.....

Jesus where did that length come from. It was tail bone last I remember.

Still no work. I had an interview but it turned out to be nonsense. Nothing says waste of time like the person starting off the interview by saying "your resume shows that you're clearly over qualified for this job" and finishing off the portfolio review by telling you in vivid detail how uncreative this job is and how bored I'll be working there. It basically amounted to an office job with occasional Photoshop duties that were nothing more than cutting and pasting. Being that I didn't hear back from them, I clearly didn't get the job. I've gotten a few calls from places in Boston but that's over an hour away without traffic. That's a bit to far for me. I'm ready to hunt down some TA work for art, or fashion design, sewing...... something. Anything to bring in money.

Due to this headache I can't spend much time on the computer so I've been keeping myself busy by starting a new sewing project. I'm starting a new corset. They require very little material and are detailed enough that I won't finish it in 1 day like I do most common fashion items. Typically I focus my energy on corsets and period costumes. I spent most of this week crunching numbers and altering the pattern to fit my corseted measurements. Now I just need to throw together a mock up to test the alterations. It keeps me busy which is needed right now.
