what happened to the ashtray?
big news on the americorps front:
i've been really indifferent towards everything lately, exemplified in the writing of my monthly report to my americorps 'bosses' in d.c. haha... i told them everything: how we have no funding, i have no boss in san francisco and soon no co-worker, and am basically running the show over here. my americorps boss totally freaked out. called me the next morning at 8 am and talked about it with me. she had no idea things here were so 'bad' - so they may pull me from the project, which oddly enough, im really torn about now. i still feel like this project is helping out the kids here and if i leave, this non-profit dies. period. - but the fact is i came out here to learn about non-profits from people running one, not run one myself.
the conversation was relieving in a sense - the situation i have been in has been extreme - it isnt just me blowing things out of proportion. she said she 'had no idea how i had handled everything so well.' jesus.
so i dont know whats going to happen. im staying in san francisco through the summer still (because 1)i am proud/stubborn and 2)i like it here) - but i dont know if im staying with the program, moving to another project entirely or quitting americorps. if they force me to leave this program, i'm honestly really not up for a transition into another job that makes such a pittance. i dont know whats going on. but i will update you soon, por supuesto.
oh, and bush has just pulled the funding for the majority of domestic social-work based programs, including americorps. man, he's smart.

i saw dancer in the dark finally - and my girl-crush on bjork is enormous now. she's brilliant and crazy and freaking awesome. although the film was enormously depressing and i had to shake myself out of it after it ended, it was super pretty. see it, but wait until your tests/papers over over. watching this film would maim your learning capacity for at least 16 hours.

OH. rudy pulled my lame ass out last night, beckoning to see 'single frame' with him, et al. i had forgotten all about those kids. it was really surreal as the set continued and i recognized a few of the songs. still have the imagery in the background, but have graduated from slides to video. not sure if that was the wisest move but i still danced. a lot. if you're near/in austin - find these kids as soon as you can.
town hall laaahvaahs: werent they called 'single frame ashtray' at some point? did i miss a dramatic sequence of events?
and it seems like 98% of you out there are going through serious school/work related learning-time. i know things will work out for all of you kids - you are all smart and you know it. miss you a lot, am thinking of you and good luck with everything.
