Just got back from seeing some excellent live jazz with Tamara. We had a nice long talk in a Chinese restaurant afterwards about plans for the future, possible jobs, etc. Tamara's big problem is finding a job that will allow her to audition for shows at the same time, which is why I was so amused to see this line in the weblog of that porn store clerk, where she talks about her job's advantages:

"It's helped me plow through some difficult financial times, they're terrific about letting me take off for an audition, and they have twice let me take a full month off to go do a show."

I immediately pictured Tamara as the porn store clerk in question for the rest of the weblog, which certainly made for a more amusing read. Haven't brought it up as a possible job with her yet, but I'll probably see her again soon....
