all begins with L

the ex boss hinted that i might be flown over to the bosphorus for a collaborative effort,

status in progress, so hold thy horses.

remind to self (again.and.again): portfolio - compile, refine, check deadlines.

People are not as unique, I’m not as unique, she’s not as unique. I’m in this pfff-ed mode where banality is more interesting than being interesting itself. Call it the mid-month syndrome.

it’s three forty in the morning and i’m three quarter way watching the case of benjamin button. not sure if i should pull through it because the streaming is taking it’s time. sitting here on the couch in the kitchen of a house share. there’s a total of eight of us. two from france, one from slovakia, one australian, one’s a kiwi, and another one from france. did i say eight, another two, oh one is me, another one is.

we come and go, all of us, it’s called house share. being here makes me feel normal. alone but not the only one. now i get back to benjamin button. while kyle tries to get back to sleep.

lost interest. this art bullshit is getting on the nerves.

weekend feels more like a weekend when you were being productive the entire week before, and hell i deserve this. darwin exhibition, orhan pamuk’s short stories, perhaps coffee in a nondescript cafe tuck somewhere in the southern bank.

no, no more coffee.

we all need that one frivalous reason to escape and smile silly
never mind the grumpy faces and hour long train rides

on a side note
tamping, steaming, watch the dripping

on what i do now for a living.

yea, i’d like to keep this one

as a friend

so i’m a bit hesitant this time around

with the ego

and the libido.

being here earns me the same amount of money as i would back home, and if you think i’m losing out on building a portfolio for the ‘job market’ you’re wrong. every one here is doing the same thing. post graduate, earning and traveling and free falling.

i think it’s called the global market.

you keep completing my sentences in snippets of half seconds
and when we talk the world becomes a background
they make a mockery of us
and we run around on the streets like the world is our playground
just for that moment
with you it’s all swings and slides again
with all its cliché

who are you

noted that this space has been abandoned temporarily. only because i’ve been totally unproductive for the past month.
finally got myself a job and half a room to rent. met a few people that i can spend weekends feeding on floaty art pieces, with half a pint in hand.

two hours and thirty one minutes, and it’ll be exactly one month.

“she said take on me, and i heard take me home.”

:)

punch wall.

note: create a toilet board, for ideas pop up while relieving.

dear God, no really Dear GOD..

is a broken fm radio tuning songs from the bosphorus.

Am rather amused at this beta morphing murketing (yes with a ‘u’) industry. There are designations called Junior Trends Researcher, Creative Planner, Planning Strategeist, and then there is Strategic Planner,

down to Account Executive which does not differ much from Portfolio Manager. In certain agencies you have Studio Managers that doubles up as Personal Assistant (??). Well that is when the (old and married but rather suave) Creative Director starts hitting on you.

What is the difference between New Business Development Executive and a Junior Business Strategist again?

And when they just can’t decide what you are capable of,
you are the PROJECT MANAGER.

Oh wait, on the creative side, here’s the best: User Experience Designer.

it’s five in the morning and i’m deciding whether to put ‘party face’ or ‘geeky face’ for an application for a pr role in a creative digital agency.

i don’t have a suit-face pic.

i don’t know about you but i’m looking forward to (people) getting back to work!
