I'm sorry for not answering any of your notes/comments/replies lately, but I will get to it I promise! These last few weeks have been intense and pretty out of it in many ways. The internship went real good and turned into a full-time contract yesterday. It feels kind of big because it's not only my first ever creative job, but I'm a cartoon animator. Pretty mean title, aye? I did not see that one coming just a couple of months ago when I was struggling hard with my life and I'm going to remember this next time I feel like giving up. But life doesn't just turn that good without a little, or a lot, of compensation in the other direction. My aching hand, arm, back and neck is now a confirmed RSI and I work with a wrist support and spend the worst days with the arm in a sling and my belly full of painkillers. The real pain is the constraint it puts on my creative output. It's a suffering I do not wish on anybody. Well, maybe the heads of Monsanto but they are probably demons or emotionless robots with no creativity to suffocate anyway.
I've also lived in New Zealand for the longest period I've lived anywhere since I graduated from high school which is ages ago. Getting so attached in such a distant place fills my days with this surreal undertone that I can't decide what I think of.
It is an interesting time in my life.
Hope you're all doing great.
Cheers!
