08.09.2002 || 20:50 Vid�otron's a bunch of MOngoloids, I tell you... And now for some lists pertaining to female actors, as per the conversation while Hudson Girl and I ran all over town before acting class to-day: List 1: Trailer-trash chicks (there's a gun-rack *somewhere* in the family) List 2: Suburban Useless List 3: The ones we kinda like ********** Well, the weather seems to have finally let up somewhat. That's cool; it means I won't be driven to kicking small animals to vent my utter pissitude. ********** Dude, class last night was about as much fun as getting a root canal without any drugs. Honest. We we blocking our scenes. I hate blocking with a passion. Bright side: blocking with the society was waaaaay worse. Anyway, blocking's almost over, thank the gods. I should really be memorising, though. I've got lines for my four scenes in class, lines or the film, *and* I've finally received the script for the play I'm in on the 24th. Man, I wish I was being paid for some of this... ********** 01h10 7th August Speaking of films, later on to-day (like 19h00), we're meeting up with Producer and the Origamist to work out a few dialogue glitches by reading the script aloud and marking down anything that doesn't ring true. I hope this works... ********** 8h38 ********** 01h15 8th August Oh yeah, still no access, of course. Everytime Vid�otron repairs a fricking cable, the disgruntled 5-year-olds who work there cut another. Um, I finally got some hours at work. I'm working to-day and Friday. I'm not working on tables, though: the pub has just taken delivery of some kitchen equipment and stuff, and they want it cleaned up and the upstairs storage area organised. I think I'll be getting pretty messy to-day... ********** 09h17 9th August The thing is, I believe in the union movement, or at least in theory I do. Unions grew out of a need to protect workers from corrupt and unfair bosses. The bosses haven't changedm but nowadays the workers have become corrupt and unfair as well. So now what? Union-busting? I hope not. But sometimes strikes just don't make sense. The ER doctors and nurses strike that happened a few moons ago, for instance. Bad idea to put lives at risk over money. Sometimes, even though a strike seems warranted, actions by the strikers make me want them to go to hell. Enter the current Vid�otron strike. If the lost business doesn't lead to layoffs, I'll be surprised, especially since CBC says that this has cost Vid�otron about 15 million bucks. Some pressure tactics are disasterously poorly thought-out... ********** Oh, first case of Mad Cow disease in Canada: A man in Saskatchewan died last week, apparently from beef he ate in England about 10 years ago. The beef industry is going hog-wild trying to tell us that Canadian beef is safe, but I don't agree: factory farming means that it's only a matter of time before we have an epidemic here as well. ********** 20h45 9th August Ugh. Anyway, Luv and I are supposed to go out for supper, but she's sitting and eating bread and cheese with the Origamist, Scottish Legs, and a couple of other friends. Oh well, so much for that. Anyway, more later... |
