It looks like I finally have the internet at home, so hello again! By "internet" I mean whatever you would call browsing on a computer that's probably more than 10 years old, opening websites with very few pictures, and viewing fonts I haven't seen in ages. It absolutely cannot handle facebook, but ol' LJ is PamComputer Compatible! (If you try to log on to Facebook, you are likely to be eaten by a grue, unless you type "use sword on friends" in three turns or less).

I've BASICALLY finished moving, meaning I just have those last few things I forgot to get(oh, and a lot of cleaning to do at the old place). It's my first night here at the new Pamhole. I've been working on setting up furniture, organizing the room, and assembling stuff since 7AM this morning, but I don't feel tired at all. In fact I wish I were partying all night. Then again, I haven't tried laying down because I predict instant Zs.

A hugely energizing task was color-coding everything. Why not hang up all my clothes according to color? Soon I became a bit obsessed with it and made two gradients- color and grayscale. These gradients are accurate. This was about 3pm-ish on very little food. There was too much black stuff, so there is a black pile. Black objects go there too. If I stay here for years there will probably be assigned locations for each color -- not just clothes but books and pens and cups-- if I decide to be that crazy.

 Borrowing computer. Must be brief!

Moved. Friends helped. Super gratitude*. I have become friends with Ikea's $7.99 table. Got mattress. After hours of Ikea and assembly, one finds ones' self hungry. I still have so much to do. Not in that "I need to sweep" way but in a "I need to make this look like it could be inhabited by a human" way.

Saw Avatar. Other things that come to mind:
Disney's Pocahontas
Jurassic Park
Lawrence of Arabia, with no desert nor grace
Burning Man vs ROTC (thx Jesse for that gem)

I think it will inspire a generation as far as technology and beauty and animation in movies is concerned. It was lots of fun wearing cool 3D glasses over my glasses in a giant Hop On Pop style glasses heap. Some of those lines though were such groaners... such effing groaners. 

So are you all coming over or what? (sure ill take pictures!)



*I could, at this point, start a whole blog about how grateful I am for the people I know. My most overwhelming emotion is gratitude. But I have no time to write about it right now. Have to just let it be all cray-cray in my brain.

If I wasn't so stressed about money, I'd be really happy with my life. I've spent a good part of the day sobbing, looking at my
(as I was typing my boss gave me a gift for christmas-- a little bonus that will go a long way. Sobbing has stopped.)

I freaking love my morning job. No students came today. I watched a movie with the advanced class and had a danish. I also got a gift subscription to the New Yorker from a fabulous reader who may step forward if he wishes. God, how do I always somehow manage to step back from the brink, just in time?

More evidence of serendipity: I picked up my keys and dropped off my deposit yesterday, and got asked if I could fill in for a model who called in sick last minute for a shoot. The photographer was big-time. I was nervous-time. I have no idea if they'll use my image or not, but if so, it's for a multicultural social networking/dating site. Lord knows my white-trash ancestors would be rollin' in their bluegrass-covered graves twere they to here of my face promoting such intermingling! They had me in pigtails and lively, natural smiles, which was probably a good choice.

Exhale. I'm not going to die poor and freezing on the steps of the church in St Petersburg begging for bread crumbs. I'm going to be alright. In fact, rumor has it that sometimes people eventually thrive. I see it somewhere in the horizon. But for at least 2 years, I see adventure, adventure, adventure. My contribution will be endurance, bravery, and a healthy dose of "whatever."

Wishlist!

Things I want for 2010: A New Literary History of America , edited by Griel Marcus and Werner Sollars. This is the most PAM CASH book that has ever been dreamed up! If I could think of a title, a subject, an editor (Griel Marcus is a rock critic and was a close friend to Lester Bangs, the greatest American essay writer that ever lived), everything I wanted in a book, this is totally what I would conjure. And with writers like Sarah Vowel and TJ Clark, it's sure not to disappoint. Vibrant cultural topics by vibrant writers and fun editors! It makes being academic sound more fun than going to Disneyland. A subscription to the New Yorker I've given up on finding a mainstream magazine of equal depth and fun based on the West Coast. I think a Californian-er magazine exists, but I can't find it. So it seems the obvious choice for left-leaning news, biting columns and fun movie critiques that are oh so snarky. That little sarcastic bitch in me hasn't died yet. Convenient, Inexpensive furnishing solutions Anders Woodwind Bradshaw Chelsea ALL OF THOSE PHOTOS ARE OF APARTMENTS HUGER THAN MINE... yet they're from Apartment Therapy's 2008 "small but cool apartment" contest. This new place is going to require some real creativity. Especially considering my limited "organization skills." Perhaps one of you brilliant, beautiful people know a trick or two? Really, my IQ is zero when it comes to nesting. Please help. Money. Who would have known that a week of overdue videos from video hut would result in such a hearty fine? Seriously, it's like that parking ticket I had to pay. And those credit card bills, oy! Methinks I'm getting an ulcer.

the hollywood mystery

I think, the first time I was in hollywood way back before Korea, I thought Hollywood was just cool. Now I think it's pretty okay. Most people here are of above average intelligence-- but nothing spectacular. Like that funny guy in high school who will probably end up being a lawyer. Most people here live comfortable lives, but not spectacular or interesting lives. They are pleasant and nice and kind lives, but they are not shimmering or screeching or sparkling lives. A few people sparkle. A few lives are interesting. Most people are happy and most will not achieve greatness. For that, the world envies them. Happiness is a comfort and greatness is a burden, and these days it seems like most people are only capable of one or the other.

Safetylusions

Unfortunately, it takes forever for statistics to surface. However, we have 2004 here ready and willing to be our friend:

3,727 fatal car accidents (NOT fatalities themselves, could be more but can't find stats)

average people murdered per year is 515

Statistically I am hugely increasing my survival by getting off the road. So take that all you nay-sayers. NAY in KOREAN means YES!! (true).

(As I say this, I look at the crime map and see that there was a murder at city hall last night.)

the best of times...

I could imagine it being a bit Dickensian downtown, if the weather weren't so nice all the time. The truth is I'm way too excited about applying for the Rosslyn Lofts and might cry if I get rejected. I've got a good feeling about all this though; I think I'll be allowed into it's ancient, renovated arms. Buildings don't have arms. Maybe I WILL have a secret party for Livejournal Readers Only. And those with furniture that they hate and want to give me.

accuracy and precision

On Theater

My experience with acting has been limited to the stage. I did theater in high school and univeresity, usually getting funny roles. I also wrote a play and directed it in high school. In University, much to my surprise, I landed one of the bigger roles in a huge, sold-out production.

The theater allows for huge mistakes. In fact, the bigger the major biff, the more valuable the experience becomes; the performance is rare. Limited edition. Perhaps some brilliant improvisation will come of it, funnier than the script itself. The actors, in the meantime, have to stay as automated as possible... allowing flexibility if something extreme does indeed happen.

I did a brief stint in dance. Dance was lots of fun but was nervewracking depending on the costume I had to wear. And I'll never be good enough at it to make it past a certain point, and I'm pretty much too old now anyway, but I love it.

Then came a shift to puppetry. My dance teacher used to say, "To be a dancer, you must be an actor, an athlete, and a musician." A puppeteer would say, "Triple that, and you got me," as she accidentally glued her eyelids together. Puppetry is acting, dancing, visual artistry, craftsmanship, and engineering. Puppetry is for that gal or guy you know who would have been best friends with Da Vinci, equally scientifically and artistically minded. Mystery Bird is a team where everyone has something artistic and scientific to add. It's a refuge for those of us who never really wanted to be specialized in the first place, who's interestests are a bit too broad.

It seems to be important to us, as humans, to do things that make us happy.

I felt a lot of shame for being a visual artist during most of 2008 and 2009. It wasn't saving lives or curing HIV. It doesn't put me at risk; indeed, many Americans seem to hold artists in some special high regard, including me when they're really really good. I hated these things. I wanted to be a doctor. Still do many times.

Rather than trying to feel unashamed, I've taken comfort in knowing that many of my favorite artists had similar thoughts about their profound unimportance. Rather than solve the issue, I can live with it and carry on. My new approach to so many internal dillemas.

I want to paint again. Painting, drawing, and taking a comedy class. Just because I think they'd make me happy, and I'm not 30 yet, and I'm so tired of feeling guilty for doing things I like. I spent so much time in 2008 in sheer misery. Whether it's wise or utterly stupid, I'd like to indulge myself -- by going public.







___________________________________________________________________________________________

I did a bit of drawing last night.

I have to admit, having a half-day yesterday made me a bit giddy. Sure, I won't be so giddy when I look at my paycheck, but I really relaxed yesterday with nothing-to-do. Today I plan on putting in my application to the Rosslyn Lofts. I'm a bit nervous. A rejection seems possible; my bank statements don't exactly show that I'm rollin' in it, but I've always paid my rent and I'm certain that my credit is good, or at least okey dokey...
