Hey ever'body. I am still alive and managing to slog through this spasmodic morass that is my life. That may seem like a contradictory phrase, but believe me, it's appropriate. I hurt my knee on that last job out in Calipatria, and I have been told by the doctor that I can't do any survey work for at least 5-6 weeks. Due to the complications of not having a real permanent job and switching between companies project to project, I may not be able to collect worker's compensation benefits for the time I can't work. If not, I'm hoping that unemployment can help. We shall see.
I have told my roommate that I want out, and he's terribly upset, but that can't be helped. I love this apartment complex, and I will miss the friends that I have made among my neighbors, but I just can't handle living with anyone else right now. It's making my emotional distress that much more acute. I am dreading moving, but I am looking forward to having a new space of my own with much eagerness.
At the apex of my mood parabola, I had a great time this past Memorial Day weekend. I spent the entire time at an SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism--you know, Medieval reenactment geeks) event. The best part was that I worked for my friend Liz at her Turkish Coffee booth and I made a decent amount of money. Certainly enough to pay for the weekend and leave a little bit for boosting my bill-paying ability. And I had a lot of fun, which I desperately needed. Kiki works there, too, now, and it's just wonderful. Actually, the five of us who work there all know each other pretty well and get along famously. And working at Kiva Han is like no other job: I get to wear really outlandish and beautiful ethnic costumes and jewelry, I'm encouraged to flirt outrageously with the clientele, and people feed me and bring me fun things to drink while I'm working. I enjoyed this war event more than I had any other in years.
Photos will be posted as soon as I can get them from the other people who remembered to bring their cameras with them. My personal favorite is the one of me drinking rum and coke from a ceramic half-skull. Watch this space for new and improved blog posts...

Kiva Kan sounds like a very fun job. Sometimes I work as a caterer, and it can be fun when some of the other people working are my friends, but never as much fun as Kiva Kan, it seems.
Kiva Han is the funnest job I've had in a while. Where else do I get customers kissing my hand and pirates offering me drinks out of severed heads? Yarrr! It was a very very realistic severed head, I might add. The flask opening was under the protruding vertebra of the neck. Quite ghastly, but tasty.
