Nannying and Such

foreverdawningFirstly, I've finished Orange is the New Black and after bawling my eyes out I donated to their Poussey Washington Fund. It was inspired by one of the most beloved fictional characters on the show. There were so many ups and downs when it came to the storylines both in this season and the previous ones, but it was cathartic to get a concrete(ish) end to all of them.
I've been meaning to get to the third season of Glow but I want to be able to devote my whole attention to it since I know I'll be sucked into it completely.
Nannying has been going well. I took the kids to the science museum and looked at all the dinosaurs and even got to dig around for 'fossils.' I'm really starting to bond with them! I'm really excited about that since they both had a nanny previously who was really great and who the youngest one had known her entire life. I still get compared to her....constantly....but the kids do like me so far. Now when school starts that might change a bit.
I've also been an assistant/manager for an up and coming rapper in Dallas. We had a long conversation today about his timeline for the year and the release of his new album. I've been pushing him to complete it for awhile but not as much as I should've. He told me it takes about three hours for him to get a song done so we should be getting ready for photographs and promos by the end of this month. Without the music, there's really not a lot for me to do. I could work on concept work myself if I had some sort of idea about how the rest of his tracks are going to go but creative freedom is really important. Not only that, but I suspect he wants to keep it a secret until it's perfect. He'll have to break out of that habit.

I just realized I forgot to mention: I went to the second hand store and bought a Twilight shirt with a picture of Robert Pattinson as Edward and the phrase "You don't scare me." I've never been happier.
