Busy Month
December is a hectic month in the entertainment industry. I've been putting in 40-80 hour weeks between a few different gigs and that leaves time for food and sleep and little else.

(Well there was santacon. I love bringing saturnalia back into christmas.)

Life is good. I don't know how I'll be doing this time next month but I'm doing pretty well right now. I'm saving as much money as I can and keeping an eye out for a stable job. I'm doing new things each day, like building walls of cardboard boxes twenty feet tall and installing snow chains for the first time. For the record, I hate snow chains only a little less than fishtailing.

I've also obtained a copy of How To Cook Everything. It has become my breakfast reading material. I'm cooking something new and interesting every week. I will subject my family to this process on christmas. I'm feeling pretty optimistic about it.

Speaking of christmas, we have snow on the ground in Portland and it may stick around until the 25th. This is unusual. Our news outlets have been blaring out ARCTIC BLAST '08 updates for the past week to the amusement of anyone who looks outside and sees a thin layer of melting snow on the road. Still, it would be nice to have a white christmas for once. This being Portland, there's a loose plan to get a whole bunch of people downtown in a giant bay-to-breakers style snow parade/race/party if only we can get a whole four to six inches on the ground. I hope it happens on the rare day I'm not working.

An that brings me to today. I've got the whole day off to relax and clean and prepare for christmas. It's a good month.
