REALITY
how's life? not too shabby. currently doing a 12 hour shift in an ICU. our band is playing our Conflict Resolution show on saturday night, we're having a meeting of the Why Group-- our abstract discussion salon-- on sunday afternoon, then on monday i'm doing a photo shoot with a model therapist friend in a hotel bar. we're all dressing in scrubs; they're trying to entice the after-work medical crowd. getting paid with two free drinks and an appetizer. wow. photo shoot for what? for the hotel how did you get that gig? she's a model? she sure is. send pictures i just had to wrestle a Nepalese wild man. that's your job i guess. occasionally.
