tonight i went to an open-mic at a new home. it had been at a nearby venue, which closed in November. i liked seeing a familiar crew there, although it was a small lineup, i was one of six. this is another venue that i finally saw since stage time is available. i liked seeing 'quarter candy vending machines' there, and a full-sized snack food vending machine, but i didn't use either one. it was nice how one of the show runners was willing to buy a round of drinks for the performers.
it was a tough day for me, as it was harder to find a way to stay active when there was no interviews to be at. eventually i took a walk, after we reached midday. in the morning i decided to turn in some change at the bank, even though i usually wait a little longer. it had been just over a month. i also decided to use some survey money for airline miles, and i took a look at my activity. in the past year i dumped 19,000 miles into the account! helpful that most months i dumped at least a thousand miles there. i got a response to an email, and i have already called it 'good news-bad news'. good news, i am still in the running for a job i applied for. bad news, i am being asked to interview again, and i hate doing job interviews. it is next week, so this should be more than enough time to be well-prepared for the interview. i am telling myself to be hungry and enthusiastic, instead of nervous and desperate. i have already found out the results from an interview from the previous day, 'not interested'. this still leaves three of the nine 'in play'.
i actually performed at two different venues tonight, the other was the karaoke venue. i did 'run around' by blues traveler. it was inspired by seeing somebody perform 'hook', by the same band, at the first venue. i said 'run around' reminds me of what i deal with in job searches, and dating. also liked hearing somebody perform 'say it ain't so' by weezer. i thought about different things when at the karaoke venue. one was about being 'chill' and self-medicated. another was how i am a mid-westerner, and another was how sometimes being stubborn is a good thing. it is not too often where i know i experience a good 'philosophical night' like this one. and i know how valuable it is to me.
