i have a job interview in the morning. it's for the kind of job that i once loved and thought would really get my foot in the door and make me what i want to be. that never happened. i just worked crazy hours, made connections that i never really used, and missed out on sleep. maybe i'm just lazy- but i'm not as psyched about my interview as i should be. but it is a job- and it is somewhat close to what i want to do. i'm just totally ambivalent about the whole thing. i guess i'll hear the details and go from there. what choice to do i have really. i could always be unemployed another time. a crazy uncle is in town from england and i am entertaining him tomorrow afternoon. he is such an interesting guy. he is not rich but he acts like he's a millionaire and is constantly telling you how much things are worth and how much "quid" he brought in last year. "see that hi-fi, cost me 500 quid" and so on. he's also an iranian guy who moved to england something like 45 years ago and married an irish lady and had a daughter. yet he thinks everyone else (meaning his daughter and me) should be in a rush to get to iran and marry a man. "they'd be lined up for you, you could take your pick." his daughter married an english guy and he's still mad. i live with a jewish guy- and he still doesn't know. i don't know how i would break that one to him. i fear he'd put me on the next flight to tehran. but he's a nice guy. the last time he was in town we went to the world trade center and even had our picture taken. the time before that his wife had just died and he would just start crying right out of the blue. we'll see what tragedy comes with this visit. tomorrow i will go broke on cab fare and be home late, smelling of smoke. tomorrow will be the first time since living in new york that i could pass as a cast member on "sex in the city." gotta try harder!
