Wed, Jul 06:28:14 9 GMT 30 http://greasy.com/hawkwoman/arrrrg.html I'm sooooo tired of being unemployed! I hate wishy-washy producers & networks that don't know what they're doing!! Now everyone seems to be at a standstill with an impending actors strike. WTF!!! REALITY shows are freaking out over an actors strike!?! The word STUPID does not describe this business accurately enough..... Tue, 24 Jun 2008 00:50:14 GMT http://greasy.com/hawkwoman/cancel_eeep.html I know I have been away from the blog for far too long and I really have no excuse. Especially when taking into account the fact I am currently unemployed and have PLENTY of time these days to be blogging. However, I may have lots of time, but little of anything to report. I have been looking for work (Ah! Showbiz!). I was in Washington, DC last month talking to some people up there for a position they had open. I spent a couple of days getting a feel for the city and if I wanted to move t ... Fri, 13 Jun 2008 18:36:29 GMT http://greasy.com/hawkwoman/cha-cha-cha-changes.html I know it’s been a good while since I’ve blogged last. Several of you have chastised me over my absence. What can I say? I’ve been busy being a total slug the last 2 weeks. My job officially ended 2 weeks ago and as mentioned, I’ve been a total slug since. However, after 2 weeks of unemployment, chilling with the dog and cleaning my house obsessively – although you wouldn’t know it from looking, I am officially B-O-R-E-D. I've been spreading the word all over town that I am bac ... Fri, 9 May 2008 20:14:14 GMT http://greasy.com/hawkwoman/gestation.html So much in flux and possible changes swimming around my head the last several weeks. I know I’ve been a very quite mouse in her little corner. Believe me it’s been a very frustrating quiet…. If I’m lucky I’ll be able to spill all soon. Mon, 21 Apr 2008 19:21:06 GMT http://greasy.com/hawkwoman/charlies_trauma.html Alas, my life is very dull at the moment. My mind is also in a weird place and I'm trying to figure a few things out. In the meantime, here is another installment from my writing class. This assignment had us write about our characters most traumatic event.... Charlie sat in the back of the bus, hoping the last seat would delay what was to come just a little longer. Uncertainty and trepidation was shred amongst most of the draftees, but they did not share Charlie’s terror. All were worri ... Tue, 8 Apr 2008 00:40:06 GMT http://greasy.com/hawkwoman/charlies_mirror.html It's that time of year again - Writing Class Time! This session of classes is focusing on character development and we had to create a new character very unlike us and who has a phobia that we reveal over time. My Character this time around is named Charlie Darden. I'll have more on his background & phobia as we advance in class. This week's assignment was to put our character in front of a mirror and describe what they see and how they see themselves.... Sitting down to his usual seat at ... Mon, 17 Mar 2008 19:26:21 GMT http://greasy.com/hawkwoman/evil_boss.html Last week our entire office was informed of a “very important potential client” that was scheduled to meet with my boss today. EVERYONE was required to be here today by 8:30am – NO EXCEPTIONS!! So this morning about 20 of the responsible few were actually here EARLY and at work AS ORDERED! As I’m sitting down to my desk and powering up my computer I could here, “WHAT!?” “IS THIS A JOKE?!” “NO FUCKING WAY!” Irritated exasperation made it’s way to everyone’s desk as w ... Thu, 13 Mar 2008 18:29:04 GMT http://greasy.com/hawkwoman/fear_not.html Fear not my fellow Greasers - I have not abandon thee! I have simply been on the busy side of life the last few days and on top of that things have been a tad dull, so there hasn't been much to write about. Although there was the Mr. Cranky-Pants parking dude who almost towed my car the other day… Anyway, my writing class has started back up, so I’m sure I will have a nice bit of work here & there to post in the coming weeks. At least that's the plan. Wed, 5 Mar 2008 19:31:28 GMT http://greasy.com/hawkwoman/hungry.html Alas, I cannot eat. The sandwich I had for lunch, although very yummy, decided to sit in my stomach about as well as George W. Bush would at a gay commitment ceremony. So I am now sitting at home in my squishy-squishy new bed…I love my new bed…starving. Well, I am trying to drop 15lbs. Might as well make the most of it… Wed, 20 Feb 2008 03:26:02 GMT http://greasy.com/hawkwoman/love_thyself.html Valentine’s Day is upon us once again. And as this day approached I heard the usual laments of my fellow “Singletons.” Laments of how unfair it is they are alone as they are bombarded with images of loving couples that seem to shout, “THIS DAY IS FOR US AND YOU SINGLE LOSERS CAN GO SUCK LEMONS!!” Interviews on the morning news today talked about how difficult a day this is for singles. And perhaps this can be a good time to “take stock” in their lives and what they want to ch ... Thu, 14 Feb 2008 20:59:45 GMT http://greasy.com/hawkwoman/jjoohhnn_.html This post is an oldie, but a goodie that I wrote a year ago today on that old site we won't mention here. Anyway, jjoohhnn was so taken by this post that he apparently has never forgotten it and even made a small reference to it in his recent post "Valentine's Day is Fast Approaching." Jjoohhnn, this one's for you my friend! Steak and a...WHAT?! Originally posted 2/13/07 Ok ladies! As you all know, tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. For those of you who have a very special some one poised to l ... Wed, 13 Feb 2008 20:15:14 GMT http://greasy.com/hawkwoman/men_chess_pieces.html This blog is actually a “Voter’s Choice” winner from that “other” site many of us fled in droves. However, I never got around to posting this. So, here it is, in its somewhat finished glory! I still think it needs some work, but I’ve always been my worst critic…. Chess is a game I’ve been trying to teach myself for many years now. My main problem in grasping it fully is that I don’t know many people who play and so I fall out of practice frequently. The pieces in their va ... Wed, 13 Feb 2008 02:36:42 GMT http://greasy.com/hawkwoman/step_time.html Holy crap I walked to work! Alllllll 1.92 miles of it! On a Monday! A normally 5 minute drive turned into a 45 minute walk, with a small detour into a local coffee house for a latte. I needed the extra fuel. And I have to admit, I rather liked it. Cleared my head before I got to the office, had more energy and in a great mood when I got here. Foolishly, however, I called my mother to boast of my accomplishment and she promptly freaked out, “WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO GET HOME!? IT’LL ... Mon, 11 Feb 2008 20:22:30 GMT http://greasy.com/hawkwoman/mouthwash.html Because I love Kate Nash! This is my face Covered in freckles With the occasional spot and some veins This is my body Covered in skin and not all of it you can see And this is my mind It goes over and over the same lies And this is my brain Its torturous and a little Make me go insane And I use mouthwash Sometimes I floss I’ve got a family and I drink cups of tea I’ve got nostalgic pavements I’ve got familiar faces I’ve got mixed up memories And I’ve got favourite places And I’ ...
