So I tried to see Zero Dark Thirty this afternoon but it was sold out. This hasn't happened to me in a while. I usually prepare by doing things like getting to the theatre early, not going during peak hours, avoiding opening weekend, etc. Today I broke all those rules - opening weekend, arrived at fifteen minutes before the start, seeing it right after it got nominated for some awards, etc. So I'm going to try again tomorrow.
Otherwise, this winter cold is kicking my ass and I can't seem to shake it. I wouldn't care too much except it's also affecting my hearing. Due to spending my teens and early twenties playing in a rock n' roll band, I have lost a lot of my hearing. I have to accept it but this cold has made it worst. That worries me a bit. Stupid throat being connected to the ears.
I work for a non-profit. Things are difficult these days, with funding being cut left, right, and center. While I haven't lost my job, my hours have been cut back temporarily. There's little I can do fix this. Why I'm sharing this information is to alleviate my frustration. I thought I was "on my path to success" but now I realize that I can't think of my jobs like that. I doing something I feel good about and that should be enough. Making a sustainable wage would also be nice as well.
Wow, this post went negative quickly. I originally intended to say, "Man, I didn't get to see Zero Dark Thirty today." Yes, I've had a cold and Yes, not having good hearing sucks but it isn't that big a deal. Sounds worse than it is. And the job thing... well, probably should have left that for my diary. So let me end this on a positive note: I built a computer last week to act as my personal home server.
