Still sick

Wow this cold or flu going around is really kicking my butt. I've been rather cocky these past couple years, "oh I never get sick" blah blah blah. Now here I am humbled by a tiny virus. If I could stick a hand down my throat and scratch to my heart's content I would...oh it's so ITCHY!

Reminds me of an old Rap Replinger sketch on his Poi Dog CD.

You itchy?
Yes, very itchy
Well scratch 'em den.

Yeah, not a huge sound bite....but still hilarious in my current state of mind. You just have to hear the way he said it. I miss Rap.

Anyway, I'm still screening calls. Sorry folks, but my Jabba voice just isn't suited to answering a long phone conversation with a potential client at this point in time. Every so often I pick up the phone just for laughs and as luck would have it, it's always a pre-recorded sales pitch which bugs the shit out of me. So, please...just leave a message and I'll do everything possible to reach you back.

You know...I'm frustrated. Too clouded in my head to design, and not enough current pure design projects to stay fruitful. Oh I get the web stuff here and there, some coding, some business cards, etc. But they don't really get the juices flowing where I'm sunk hardcore into design. Haven't had much chance to bus' the camera out to take the shots either. It's been rainy all winter season.

I think in March I'll be helping a friend take action shots for his sport photography business. So at least I can take the camera out then. But it's been a slow winter.

Is business slow? Eh, still hard to say. I'm getting calls and potential projects but they're all still very manini ("small"). The I have some big juicy ones I'd like to finish but it seems like the people involved are in less hurry then I am to finish things so they're sort of in limbo right now. I think that adds to my frustrations a bit. But eh, what can you do? Just one day at a time and do what comes up in the meantime.

Still no lucky Kokua Festival tickets have landed on my head. I know it was sold out in minutes but somewhere in the back of my mind I'm hoping some miracle tickets will scooped up somewhere from the heavens, and dropped down miraculously on my doorstep by a giant vaporous hand. People are scalping those tickets for like $400 - $600 a pop now on Ebay. No thanks...I'm not that desperate.

Anybody out there want to donate some Kokua tickets to a sick local boy and his cute foreign wife who's NEVER seen a show at the Waikiki Shell before please do! hehehe. Yeah I'm not above desperate pathetic mercy begging. I think maybe I'm better off wishing on the giant hand eh?
