OMG OMG OMG!!!! I've been hijackd on m way 2 LA
BF is an excellent " cat man " 
. He takes care of everything when I'm in Florida too ( including the plumbing which is no joke with nearly twenty below winter temperatures on Long Island )
regarding my " career " I guess I'm the ultimate " independent contractor " which sux regarding pension , corporate sponsorship , n financial help getting higher degrees ... but I work in artistic fields and am glad to get paid at all realistically .
Unfortunately the design and entertainment industries really take advantage of recent graduates ( and their families ) via unpaid " internships " etc .
We actually set a tentative wedding date about 2 months from now . LA work sit is so far O****ep thinking about Oprah's personal chef Rosie something who she gave a chance to publish a ( great ) cookbook ... I'd love to shoot out there this winter and of course publish with a real advance .
You need to have friends and supporters in this difficult business to succeed particularly if you weren't born into it and aren't rich lol .
Dont know how long this arrangement will last ( God forbid I step away from the phone ) . Things on the East Coast are predictably behind schedule and/ or falling apart but all this is a valuable learning experience right ? 
I'll dare make a joke : they're practically handing out Medical Marijuana Licenses on the street corners of LA .... 
nah ... I'm not tempted ( we'll slightly tempted I'd have to be a machine not to b ) ... but that stuff is WAY too strong 4 m 2 handle .... not Ur granny's backyard grown skunk-weed trust me .
