Vancouver, 2001.11.23

Another week of 'looking for work' while the news talks about BC's gloomy future. This week marked 7 months of gainful unemployment. I have to say it's been good for my photographic knowledge/skill, I've seen a fair chunk of the country, and I've done some good work on the novel.

Also, etherlabs.net surpassed 300,000 'page requests' yesterday. That's about a whopping 300 hits a day.

For a long time I was very bitter that the people who controlled the means of anybody ever hearing my songs were never gonna play them. They only favored music that I specifically and particularly hated, and I wanted them dead. Suddenly, there was another avenue. I started hearing my stuff coming out of bars and then it started to happen little by little -- a movie song here or a TV ad there.
