Erk, so I just had this dream that I was in my grandmother's backyard. My whole family was there for a cookout. She still had her apple tree. I was playing around on some kind of roll-y thing, like a scooter or skateboard or something. And then, as embarrassing as this is to admit, Derin Mcleod was there. I have no idea why he was there, and I kept ( Read more... )

So...I have finally entered what I call "Jess's Voice Training Phase 2," because I can finally sing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah!" I can hit all the notes but one, which I very cleverly avoid ( Read more... )

I've been in a very photo-shoot mood lately, wanting to experiment with different styles and character development type stuff ( Read more... )

So, I haven't even gotten to CA yet and I've got a gig set up for September, in San Francisco! Cactus Jack wants me involved in the production of his bondage performance art show. He wants me for the musical composition portion and performance, but also possibly one of the bondage models ( Read more... )

So I just got a Facebook message saying there's a 5-year Lab high school reunion this weekend. Of course, I am NOT going, haha, as I have other plans and little desire to bring up memories of high school, but I was highly amused by it. Perhaps for the 10-year reunion, I'll be ready.

I've been working on the bdsm book a lot lately. Margaret's visiting this weekend, but there's also a kink party this weekend, so I might drag her along. I told her it'd be free entertainment after all ( Read more... )

It's kinda unfair how some people are born with greater predisposition to anxiety and depression, and how other people just seem to be naturally happy. Now of course everyone deals with pain, stress, etc., but there are a ton of people that go through life generally content. It's really crazy and amazing ( Read more... )

So...there is a holdup in whether or not UCSF is going to hire me for this RA job. To make a long story (and believe me it is a long story) short, the prof/boss, Dr. Mackin, wants me. He thinks I am the best fit and he wants me for the job. However........there is a rule/law/whatever that says you have to give ex-UCSF employees-who-have-been-laid- ( Read more... )

I started taking St. John's wort from the local organic pharmacy. I'll see if mood stabilizes in a few weeks. I take 35 drops of the tincture mixed in some water, 3 times a day, which is what the bottle recommends. The only risk for me is that it may interact with the effects of the birth control pill, which doesn't matter much to me at this point ( Read more... )

Flew out to San Francisco Sunday night and had my final interview at UCSF Monday morning. Not much to say - I thought it went very well, but unfortunately I won't know for another week. I tried my best. Then, I wandered around Market St. for a bit, read a book, made phone calls ( Read more... )
