Dispatches from Asteroid Hopkins

while you slept

At work, the season has not even—officially—started, and people are tired. Can't blame them, thinking about my schedule for the rest of October, makes me ask, what i'm doing with my life. It's interesting, 20 years ago, when i started working in "showbiz" it helped thinking about all the money i'll earn, and now i'll rather buy less stuff and sleep more.
The crew from today's production was a nice couple of people.

Kirby had another meltdown, this time due to breakfast. It's getting harder to stay calm and not resort to my parents way to solve such situations: telling the kid, if it won't comply, you're getting rid of it while it sleeps.

A colleague from rehab sent me photos of her selfmade bird bath. She made it out of soapstone, which she polished, and "sealed" with oil. Looks great. I imagine the birds sliding over the surface, due to the oil and polish. What i also like, is the structure of the stone, it almost looks like marble.
