So, I was just ripped to shreds on my mock interview. Have you ever done one of those? Holy Moley!!

I interviewed with a self-proclaimed "Simon from American Idol". Confirmed.

We spent 30 minutes on the phone. Here's how the call went:

• He asked me one question.
• I answered.
  
• He offered constructive criticism.
  
• He asked the same question AGAIN.
  
• I answered AGAIN.
  
• He said, "better".

Nice.

That was scary. I called my manager to let him know how it went.

Rob: (very excited to receive a phone call) "How'd it go, Alex?"
Me: (trying to mask the nervous laughter) "Jeff Smith kicked my butt."
Rob: (not able to mask the nervous laughter quite as well) "Oh. Okay. Maybe we can run through a few more questions together?"

FAIL.

There's a cookie on my bathroom sink

...and that's what you get when you live alone. Cookies on bathroom sinks, dinner at the coffee table, the guest bathroom lacking a shower rod, and Shopping lists on the kitchen dry erase board with intimates like "tampons". Eh, well...what do you expect?
As you already know, it was nearly 5 months before I had couches or even a real bed in my apartment. So, needless to say...I spent most of my time in the 14x14 bedroom and rarely ventured out into the other 900 sq feet of the apartment. I've recently made a conscious effort to "explore/utilize" the rest of the space in the apartment. I finally put toilet paper and soap in the second bathroom...(I still haven't told the apt complex about needing a shower rod)..., I started sitting on the couch and enjoying my 19" TV, and I finally set my second bedroom up to be a "working" art studio and office space. WORKING is the key word...it functioned more as a storage space than anything for the longest. I even bought storage tupperware things to organize my office/art stuff.

More importantly, I've been able to hang art on my walls! Nice! (pictures to come!)
