I've been trying to get a handle on this whole career switch thing. On the one hand, it's been pretty traumatic, because hey, NO JOB, but on the other hand, I get to spend most days waking up at 11am, trying new kinds of coffee, reading lots of books, and wandering around with my camera. In short, not too shabby. But as an instant gratification-type, I would sort of like to be making money NOW(ish), so I have the comfort of knowing that I can keep this up AFTER the money runs out.
Giving myself little goals seems to help. For example, I've been doing pretty well with my goal of taking at least one photo per day. I've actually sort of done quite a bit more than that - my camera informs me that it has taken 1562 photos since May 10th. So yeah...hooray! I've also made a promise to write one short story per week. So far: one page. Longhand. And it stinks. But hey, I'm gonna finish it.
That said, today was fairly productive. I took pictures of pelicans and sand. I also stopped by the record store and bought some sweet records (actual vinyl):
Parliament:
OsmiumOf Montreal:
Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?Johnny Cash:
American VSteeleye Span:
