Gag

I made a different blog. Though it doesn't have much, it is pretty since it is so clean to work with.

I just moved into my apartment in Seattle. Still getting things organized since is taking forever so I see pretty much no one. Hopefully I'll finish soon since I have school.
Not Seattle U but bartending school!
I just signed up so I hope I can get  a night job. I'd like to work at a place that still has burlesque/theater/shows/anything that I can work with my final project. (mostly so I don't have to pay/feed drinks to the performers so that we can be partners in crime of photography.) Making connections from a night drinking. I'm sure Claire will understand.

I'm completely terrified with this year.

Open email from Ukraine day 3

Hi dad from Mom and I (jackie)

Grandpa is sick. Been sick all day, we're in Kviv in the apartment and Bobby is taking care of sleeping grandpa.
Apparently a lot of throwing up and diarerra and all the weakness one can have at this time.
His temp is really high...but he says it might be from drinking milk in the heat...?
Mom doesn't seem too happy about this since...well, it is obviously slowing her down and we're most likely not able to go to Lvov tomorrow in the morning like planned.
The Ukraine people/Bobby don't want to take grandpa to the doctors because they are afraid they will say he has swine flu and they won't know when they will let him go.
Silly but somehow this is what is happening.
Bobby is badly sunburned and mom thinks the trip has gone what she thought: "the first two days will be great, and afterwards...." I don't really remember
but she just came over to me and said we should just go home.
I hear Tollick and Bobby carrying grandpa to the bathroom...doesn't sound like he has any control of himself right now.
Everyone in the apartment seems upset. I seem clueless since I'm on the computer/don't understand medical Russian words.
Mom seems sad that we might have done this trip too late.
An update should come soon.
Love,Jackie
PS the food here is really food! I gained 500 pounds already. Also, we saw fireworks sent fire to part of a beach house, jumped in a gross river, and got eaten alive by mosquitos.

What is the plan man

Managing to finish all my food.
What I've found:
most things go bad after a few months.
I guess that has solved my quest of finishing the food.
What I got left:
2 containers of sour cream
Frozen rice
Marshmellow cream
Kool Aid [ various colors ]
Raisins 

All sounded like a good idea when I got them.

Next plan:
Finish 3rd year
Pack up room
Fly to San Diego
Fly to Ukraine
Fly to San Diego
Drive to Las Vegas
Drive to San Diego
Fly to Chicago
Fly to San Diego
Drive to San Diego
Find new home

Throw in some LA & Mexico and you got yourself a summer.

[ note for excitement ]

DEPECHE MODE

[ note ended ]

I have business cards now.
I gave one to the lead singer of Gogol Bordello
with a picture of him on the card.
He asked for extra and then gave me wine.
APPARENTLY he will give it to a big up type.
Maybe I'll be back in LA...but shooting something more...

I'm the bitch photographer for the music prof at SU...
and he works me man! Every performance he does, I'm there.
Yesterday he picked me up and it was a blast to drive with him.
He is the crazy-drive to kill-honking-not looking-on cellphone-all windows down-stunna shades- blasting/singing/dancing to Beyonce type. 
Fun. 

Sasquatch - I shouldn't be so fucking shy. SO many people I could have networked with...fuck
Monotonix ruled. Many of the other bands blew. Yeah Yeah Yeahs fun. Crystal Castles were better than last year. Gogol Bordello is slowing down a lot. Of Montreal had potential but it lacked any soul and tried with costumes, theater, confetti, audience members, colors, video screens and breaking guitars...but there was something missing. Jane's Addiction was just hilarious, WTF, hah.

Out of here

Next Tuesday, I leave LA

I'm coming back to Seattle for good.

I just hate hate hate it here!

Maybe for various reasons but fuck it, it is just no good.
The school is just a name and I'm just a ###-###-###

My roommates are... the same all the rest of those around me.

I'm a sick one, been in bed for weeks. 
Just giving up really.
Less than a week until I'm moved out. 
In between that 6 days, I'll be going to Seattle Friday-Monday
Today I have to pretty much drop out of the school.
Thursday Final
Friday Final
Seattle
Tuesday Final
San Diego I go

No work this winter sadly. Boss just emailed everyone is getting cut.
Even him!

Now I'm in the search to find a home for us in Seattle
What is another site other than Craigslist?

I did some more LA Weekly things.
I just gmail chatted with the editor. 
Now she is waiting for my W9 Forms to get in before I get another assignment
Too bad I didn't tell her, by the time the forms come
I'll be gone!

Where the fuck am I going to work in Seattle? (photoing photo photootoo)
Shit.
Nothing that is studio work. Ahhh, impossible with my personality. 

How do I tell my little roommates I'm moving out?
I'm going to start packing...maybe they'll get the picture.

A new chapter... gagger

Can't help but love this photo.
Pretty cute and very happy.
Today was a big day for us.


Otherwise, to note in Los Angeles, 
just doing some LA Weekly gigs.
Emailed Seattle Weekly today to ask to work with them in the summer.
I hope it is a HUGE yeah

One roommate plays with boys
the other said, " If I didn't get into UCLA, 
I would have gone to beauty school."
Yes, I live in a triple again.
Yes, I feel like I'm a freshman.
Yes, I'm as lame as one too.

I photograph some burlesque this weekend.
Mmmhm, sexy butt flossing with panty hoes in my camera lens.
Otherwise, I've  been hoping to get off campus as much as possible.
I ask people I hardly know from high school years/few times I met in Seattle
to sleep on their couches.
I sleep on the top bunk.
I'm going to fall off it again.

I eat a lot of pizza/quesadillas/pad thai/boba/veggie burgers
but I have to walk at least 30mins to class a day.
30 mins to walk back.
Plenty of stairs and hills
and it is fucking hot still
This week it was about 80 degrees
There was also a huge fire near by in Santa Barbara.
The sky was orange.

But the best drink so far=
Sailor Jerry's with cherry cola.
I had it with some greasers when they were showing off their hot rods
mmm
Thanks a ton Venice Devil's Car Club
but once Jose tried to be kissy, 
that was the end of that fun.
Damn

FOOTBALL WEEKEND




Just got done playing football with my floor team. 
It was the last game and we really needed to win for the playoffs...
we killed those bitches!
There was only 6 of us vs 11 of them!
They had to finish the game since we were winning by too much (25+ over a team ends a game)

We're in the playoffs and I'm stoked.
Why? 
Because it feels like the only thing I am part of here and that I'm able to be myself.

I'm trying to be part of things though!
I applied to the newspaper..didn't get hired.
Got a job with LA Weekly... haven't really got any work
Applied to the library... haven't gotten word back about a job
Walked into the radiostation...they said sure I can have a spot without even applying but I didn't get an email yet of when to come in
Sent in some Icecreamman.com requests for shows...haven't gotten any yet
I even sent them photos/a review of the Stan Rigdway show and no response! Only response I got was from Lucas! Which is all good but daaaamn.

I got a B on my midterm in Art History and a B on the paper. Good. I'm reading and Bs are always great with me. If I could get Bs my whole time here, I'd be soooo happy!
A's are nice and a C anywhere just kinda sucks.

My schedule next quarter might make me good nuts: Ceramics, Advanced Photography, Study of Language, and Art History B.....doesn't seem bad but those art class are twice a week for 4 hours each class! That means each week, 16 hours of studio art classes! 4 hours of art history and 5 of life science. EWWWWW
And this is pretty much my schedule until I graduate! GAG

Currently, this is my favorite song 
Did the link go through?
Madness- My Girl

Maybe I'll get into older ska? Nah but it is a good song/their other songs are damn good too.

Last week was Halloween. Sad how different everything is just 7 days ago. I had Lucas here, Daniela, Danielle, Matt, Beniah, and Karina ...all of us getting ready to go to HARD fest. Drinking, having a good time. We attempted to sneak in through a construction site. Lots of jumping and getting lost all night. I was a Christmas tree with lights and al. Lucas was the boy from Where the Wild Things Are. Daniela was a dragon, Matt an egyption, Karina a Star Wars Ewok, Beniah dressed as a girl in my clothes, and Danielle my roommate as Bubbles from the Powerful Girls (she meant to be Alice but she was Bubbles ...easy)
Beniah and Danielle tried to get in, got kicked out and made out for the rest of the night on the streets.
Karina and I ran through doors to get in and left Lucas. :( I texted him with someones phone and met up. We danced to BOYZ NOIZE (sp?) and almost got kicked out for shadow kissing on the upstairs. HARD ended at 4am and thats ...Halloween.
Oh, before we go there, we were walking to Matt's car next to frat row...Lucas jumped on a car that came too far in the cross walk we were walking in...so he jumped on the hood of the car. 5 frat boys ran out of their car and chased him down. I blocked one with my football skills. Scary because we were drunk (but Lucas) and didn't know what was happening. I wanted to steal the car but instead, I ran with my fists after the guy chasing Lucas. I was much slower when I was wrapped in Christmas lights and tipsy. Oh well. Lucas was fine. Frats suck.

We went to San Diego and went disc golfing in Balboa Park :)

Anyway, time to get ready for comedy tonight and Simone's deceased grandma's house for an abandon get together. Hmm..
