beefing up = good times

hooooly smokes (to quote my friend Mark Cheel,) life is foolish for university students in November. and my life is no exception!

my group finished its final genre production this past thursday, THANK GOOOODDDD. here are two pics from the production to give you an idea of how hard we worked.

Dinner scene: Christmas With the Cooks set.

Talk show scene: The Shannon Derby Show set.

so THAT is a huge relief to have that over with - it was our final project, aka the equivalent of an exam, so SWEET.

this weekend I got super-drunk on thursday and pretty drunk on friday as a result of being finished with this project. it was greeeatt! I worked saturday, pretty slack as usual, and yet crappy. every shift I have, the title of "model" loses more and more glamour, and the less and less I want to work at abercrombie. I just to sign a damn contract already and get to real modelling, but I still have more open calls to do, two more this week! B&M and Velocci, hope it's good. I hope someone wants to sign me on the spot, though that never ever happens.

P.S. this girl I know from Hong Kong, her sister is a model for EliteHK, and she is submitting my pictures to them - apparantly my 'kind of look' is really big over there, so we'll see how that pans out, man am I excited (yet somewhat doubtful) about this opportunity.

and yes, I am indeed going home this weekend. I am leaving very early friday morning, and coming back very early Monday morning, (I'll be up at 4:30AM probably.) why, you ask? airfare was cheap, I've not seen my family since August 24 and I miss them very very much, what else is there to say? I am so damn excited!!!

late friday five, just for you.

1) If you had to move 100 miles or more to the north, east, west, or south, which would you choose, where would you end up, and what's so great about there?

I would go to Paris, just because it's Paris. And because I'm French, but mainly because it's Paris.

2) Do you have a favorite stretch of highway or byway for driving, touring, or wandering?

Yes - I discovered it over the summer - it's on the road between Crystal Beach in Grand Bay and Kingston. I think it's called the Kingston Road, but it's fucking amazing - there's one point, right after you pass a church, it looks it's straight out of a postcard, Katie and I drove there in her convertible this summer, pretty foolish. and there's lots of other roads, but hey, that's too much to write.

3) Are you happier to start a trip or return home?

Always happier to start a trip, because coming back I'm always tuckered out. Usually, anyway - there are exceptions.

4) Plane, train, automobile, bicycle, or foot?

By plane or foot!

5) Do you overplan or underplan your travels?

I overplan my travels, for sure. But hey, it's better to be safe than sorry, right?

done, friday five.

allright, so that's cool for now - I have already written quite enough. I need to do some actual work... sigh, story of my life. (it really is... I'm a real university student! and yes, Ryerson is a real university.)

yours
