I know I could certainly use a bit of a boost in sales, and what better way to promote one's business than with product placement? I've an appointment with the producer later this week, and I'm expecting it t go very well.

I do hope that no one's still shaken up by the event at the park this past weekend. One would think that we've risen above that sort of pointless bloodshed. I suppose some people will never learn.

Business continues to go well. So well, in fact, that I think I may just have a few openings available. A rarity for these times, but I suppose that's ( Read more... )

Cirucci, it was good to spend time with you the other night. We should do it again. Soon. Especially since it doesn't seem I'll be taking up my day job anytime soon.

Oddly enough, formerly reliable creditors have decided not to be quite so reliable anymore. I suppose friendship isn't thicker than business transactions after all, eh?

It's only a ( Read more... )

I suppose my wakefulness is a result of anticipation upon settling into an apartment not unlike my old one and receiving word that my business may once again be up and running before the year is out. I thank those who made such a thing possible.

The play has finally been cast, thankfully. My involvement will be limited, though I still need to appear in weekly production meetings to discuss finances. I should really go about hiring a personal assistant to take my place at such events, especially since Kagura and Kanna have both taken an indefinite leave of absence ( Read more... )

Hippies are good for some things, such as leaving behind a fairly large theatre space that simply needed a little remodelling and extra seating. Unfortunately for them, they have poor business sense. With the theatre nearing completion, I suppose I should start looking for talent at least in the directorial sense. I've attainted the performance ( Read more... )

A) List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
