Memory is a funny thing.

Flashes of the mysterious, unreachable, keep coming to me.

Perhaps a sign of early-onset Alzheimers?

Anyhow, I saw a tall tanned dark eyed girl in a red spaghetti top and dark acid skinny jeans today.


And just like that, I've been tripping, all day long.

Not just one trip.

Several.

I am breaking loose.


Hello, Haruki Murakami.


In other news, my intern is great. My boss made her cry today, but she refused to tell me what Boss said, plus soldiered on like a real veteran.

She had tears rolling down a bit while I was telling her how to fix it. But a straight face nonetheless. And she cried for maybe another half hour... Sniffed anyway. I know she only wants to write. She told me in her first week that she didn't know what she wanted to do with her life. That's why she ended up in MCM.

Sounds like me, only I dropped out and she stayed on.

Am terribly fond of her.


If I had known someone like her this way while I was in Mass Comm so many years ago, I might not have dropped out. But those days were so different ...

Even back in 1993, media was shallow, and even more so MCM students. I mean c'mon... it was the 90's. Everyone was tripping over each other to get into the industry. Radio TV and publishing was hot and the bubble hadn't burst yet. PR didnt' even exist on the career map.

Well, where are all my ex-classmates now?


So when one day in life I meet people in media who aren't, why, I just have to hang on to them. These are the people who are in it for the real thing. And I know enough people who have been into anything for the right reasons...


In other other news,

I am looking for a permanent writer, on retainer-basis. Pays 1k a month and writes 10 articles or so. Stable income. Learn as you go. Medical students who are brilliant enough to cope with schoolwork and freelance magazine writing, please apply.


Send me letters.


Okay, okay. This is the Film Lab. You want a pic don't you? What's in it for you?



Froot Loops. It ain't all gravy, but you do get a sugar rush.

A rush of some kind, shape or form anyway.

Or at least fortified fibre. Lots of fibre. Not necessarily fibre you enjoy, and definitely not blue-coloured Froot Loop fibre (least not in the box I have), but yea, fibre of some kind. Maybe even moral.


:)

Parse the code, because I can't be arsed to.

Damn, I am mean to this guy. But seriously, what he has spent in his life, compared to mine -- how can you even begin to compare???

His wedding alone was more than what I've spent in my life since I graduated.

What the fuck can.

So if he is lonely today, whose fault is that?


Resources, check.

Opportunities, check.

Self-pity, uh, that's one thing he doesn't get to enjoy.


He is now moving in circles beyond me.


He needs to solve his problems on a level above mine.


I am unforgiving until I am in the same situation.


I am exactly as shallow as I want to be.


How would it change my life if you walked away?

Same difference.
