i talked with one matthew deppe this evening. how nice. i will go to his wedding to that girl named brielle. i will stand up for him.
i spent some more time with henderson today. it's going well. closer and closer to finishing. it's good stuff.
i got two responses from resume' sending offs--no thanks. it's no big deal really, i didn't expect much yet.
i did some imdb reading, found this:
"Nineteen female musicians who played on the Mona Lisa Smile movie score have won $3,500 each in a legal settlement, after proving they were paid less than their male counterparts. The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced on Tuesday that producers of the Julia Roberts-starring movie - Revolution Studios and Smile Productions LLC - settled the lawsuit but failed to admit they had unfairly paid their male musicians more than women for the same work. EEOC trial lawyer Stella Yamada says, 'Musicians have a hard time knowing where to go. We're happy for the females who came forward.' "
i laughed. out loud.
jasmine's parents are coming this weekend. it will be our second meeting. it shall be interesting i'm sure. a little less of their turf. it didn't feel territorial before, but you know how it is sometimes--being at someone elses house in their home town, they are comfortable, they can talk about people that you don't know. they can show you things that they see every day.
random thought:
"a gift is something that you purchase for someone else that they would not purchase for themselves--something they want or even need, but can't justify buying it for themselves."
that's my working definition of "gift".
that reminds me of riding in a van to a wedding....

Because the snooze button was asking for a beating.
Mona Lisa: BOO TO FEMALE ACTIVIST/MUSICIANS. "We deserve equal treatment based on personality rather than work/talent/merit." Boo friggin' hoo. The studio caved because they fear bad PR.
Gifts: I prefer buying inappropriate cards for things like weddings. I got Jon Kurzer a Hanuakah card for his ceremony. He wrote back and said he enjoyed it immensely! And gifts... Functional is best if you KNOW FOR SURE what they need. Otherwise, eccentric bits of THINGS THEY ARE INTERESTED IN are my personal favorite in things to buy.

Why do you assume that the women did inferior work, or that they were without talent or merit? Sheesh. If they did the same work, then they should be paid the same. Sorry Chris, I don't know whether to take your seriously or not sometimes. Jackm, I'm glad you still write on here.
