Coming to live again

The other day I've accidentally run into and old egyptologist friend of mine. We have not seen each other for about 2-3 years and even now we had only a few minutes until we both continued our way to our works. So I took the opportunity and asked him about Egyptian hermeticism. He said it was a difficult issue as the original texts are very difficult to translate and percept even for experienced egyptologists, and those philosophical teachings that run under the name "hermeticism" nowadays are very different to the original texts and ideologies, they are rather the products of the New-Age craziness. So he could not recommend me any authentic sources. Hmm... well, yeah, way too reserved things these are. Nomen est omen. Anyway, I keep looking...

This afternoon an alumnus of the theatre where I graduated called me and asked if I wanted to take a role in a short movie he is shooting next week. I was a bit confused as the phonecall woke me up from my sweetest dream (I dreamt that I was in Japan and met some friends from training :-D ), but I told him that of course I accept it. The shooting will be on Wednesday, with a rehearsal before on Tuesday afternoon. So I'll have to take a day off fomr work for Wednesday and leave earlier on Tuesday. Which means I will not be able to go to training on Tuesday :-(. Well, everything has a price, and it's only one day anyway.
I do not know what kind of role is the one he offers, also dunno anything about the movie either, but I accepted it kind of "blank" - you can not afford the luxury nowadays to reject a role. In fact, it's very rare that you are actually "offered" a role in a movie. So I took the chance and we'll see what will be the outcome. --- Just to reassure you - this pic was taken about 2 years ago in the theatre :-D (although I still have this wild side of my personality, so don't try to mess with me! :-D )

This weekend is very slow. I am hunting for cheaper airplane tickets to Japan, hoping that I'll have some luck. Also, trying hard to find a flat to rent - I am slowly going crazy here with the "family" around me. I hardly can feel that they are my family anymore - in the past few years and especially in the past one year I realized that I have not any kind of connection to them, it's pure shakedown and I have nothing to do with them. Sad but true. I am drowning here - I need to take my own life into my own hands. This trip to Japan makes the whole thing rather difficult financially. If I rented a flat for an average fee it would increase my expenses so much that I would not be able to go to Japan. And I must go to Japan this year. So now I mobilized all my friends and put out posters at the uni about that I am seeking for a flat to rent for a nominal rental fee. Who knows, maybe I will have some luck. And after I have returned from Japan and returned all the bank loan I will have to take now, my first big financial endeavor will be buying a flat and live my life at last the way I want.
