What I Accomplished Today

It was a better day than many of the last few days, so hurrah for that. I got up at 7am to the morning news like always, but actually got moving. It's amazing the inspiration that comes from having a meeting with someone that actually hasn't been rescheduled in the last three weeks.  I also got my passport sent out to get renewed (it's SO painful not having a valid passport) which meant dealing with the lines of people at the good old US of A post office, recently renovated in 1947. I also followed through with organizing Sunset Cocktails for several of my former co-workers from the music industry LGBT group I humbly started (and am trying to keep active from a pole-vaulter's distance). I even managed to invite some TV biz people and an Icelandic pop princess. There should be somewhere between 2 and 20 people there. Now to figure out some tasty petit fours for the gang that won't break the bank. Luckily there were a few extra bottles of Skyy vodka left over after the Pier Dance that will help those on a liquid diet. On top of that, secured "drinks after work" next week with a pivotal contact at MTV Networks and another two meetings. Now to see what positions are actually open out there - always the hardest part. Quickly went on connexion.org and replied to a few messages and even confirmed a date (and found out two potential suitors know each other when one checked me out on Facebook and saw I was friended with the other - how sticky that could be). Now headed to Brooklyn to see the Cyclones as a fundraiser for the Ali Forney Center. And some networking if all goes well. A friend just happens to have a friend coming who works at Bravo! in NYC. Bravo. More soon, oh faithful reader.  (Composed and transmitted electronically through the wonders of iPhone technology that only crashed twice while writing - typos WILL occur.)
