Fantastic Mr. Fox / Gotta Have It

A Current Biography of Karina Daum

Wed, 21 Nov 2012 13:42:00 -0800

Hi, my name is Karina.

I am twenty-one years old, for one more month. One more month of childhood [?] [Is that still relevant?] [Is that still “a thing?” ]

I enjoy making fun of myself for things like: lacking in technology, specifically communication technology. I major in media communication, actually, so that is somewhat ironic. My life is soooo ironic like Alanis Morissette. Also, I make fun of myself in the area of transportation technology. I like to ride my bike everywhere, but LA does not allow that for me. Instead I’ve had to try to navigate the buses of Los Angeles; a flawed system indeed.

I get a bad rap for having a nut allergy.

I am dependent upon Jesus and coffee, I am really hoping that I depend on Jesus far more than coffee. I love comedy- watching it, listening to it, writing it, and performing it. I have a long way to go, but don’t we all.

Wes Anderson’s auteur-style of film and art direction is a huge inspiration for me.

An “updated” bio- I figured I needed this, because, people get “updated” headshots.

I def enjoyed Maroon 5 on SNL. Is that weird of me?

Two 'fer Tuesday

Tue, 20 Nov 2012 23:30:00 -0800

There are so many points where I have to smack, pinch, or look around me questioning, “Is this really happening?”

On Tuesdays I go to work from 9-2, but then have to be at the recording school for my audio engineering program from 2-10:30 at night. So, if you know me, you know that it is difficult for me to sit inside- in the same room mind you, for a good 8 and a half hours.

I got a little break from 6-6:30 this evening, so, what better option than to “grab dinner”. This particular studio is located in a random part of town. Can I please emphasize random? My options: an unwelcoming-forest green restaurant-bar with a strange awning or a place called “Chili John’s” which I looked up and the only thing on the menu seems to be Chili dogs….so, I chose the restaurant-bar.

I walked in and immediately felt like I was in maybe Iowa-maybe South Jersey- maybe Maine? I don’t know somewhere freaking weird- not LA- and also the year was 1993.

I was so thrown off. All of the tables were empty and about 6 people were sitting at the table all dressed and looking like they were in one of the three places which I have earlier referred and present in the year 1993.

The waiter looked at me and it took me a minute to realize he was there. I was disoriented.

He handed me a menu that reflected meals in the late 1800s in London. I wanted to leave, but there were so few people that I couldn’t doooo it.

FAST FORWARD

I come into the words, ” Everybody sounds like Nickelback”, says a chain smoking, pony-tailed, forty-something-year-old classmate; and I am sorrrrry but what! Who are you listening to? Two minutes later a heavy black male with unfortunate speech stumbles into the room. I couldn’t help but ask, “Rough night? Rough daaay?” He claimed he had the flu. The instructor came in and asked him if he was hungover.

What was my Tuesday…?

Runaway / Moonrise Kingdom

PERFECT

From the time I woke up- to the time I got to work-an hour late, mind you-

Fri, 26 Oct 2012 17:09:29 -0700

Hello.

Of course I woke up an hour late today, I mean, it seems as though it was overdue-

So, I woke up knowing that I was already in a pickle.

I assured myself that everything would be fine, because eventually it is-

I grabbed a skin colored dress- because everyone wants to blend in with what they are wearing, of course, and headed out the door.

I got on my bike, and then, I realized that my dress was def not going to work for the ride over.

I changed.

I started to ride a few blocks and then realized that it was actually 67 times more difficult than usual- oh, I had a flat tire- perfect.

I got off my bike and locked it to a gate by a church.

I walked away from it and realized my zipper on my pants was completely broken. My favorite green pants.

I then had about 4 people tell me that I should get a car.

Why

Sat, 20 Oct 2012 20:23:41 -0700

Wow.

Everyone can pinpoint the current craziest person in his or her life.

Let me try to pinpoint mine.

Let me just-

You know what, this might be rude-

Ugh, hey it’s the internet-

Alright, so you know those people who learn something happened to you and then quickly feel the need that they have to one-up it? Or pretend that even though you had a convo with them about something important or memorable, and then they choose not to remeber / pretend that they don’t remember?

Yeah, for example I have a sever nut allergy. Things like verbal explanations and two written reminders were issued. Why is there a Snickers out and about?

Also, recently I just acquired a new job in which this person has observed me working. The very next day she appears with a Bed Bath and Beyond application- ….why?

Also, I still haven’t even begun my audio engineering program… and because I haven’t, everyday I am asked if “I have to go back to New Jersey”…

Hi.

In Philadelphia, about two years ago, I was enjoying a First Friday. I was with two good friends, Duncan and Steph. It was a lovely evening. There was an abundance of art of the streets, fine dining, giveaways… and, of course, plenty of people in need.

Duncan, Steph, and I were leaving a fun shop with pin ball, dranks, and beaaautiful threads.

We were laughing, joking, and walking down the narrow one way streets of Philly.

The most desperate homeless man with a stroller was walking down the street. He was skinnier than most and looks very unhappy. We were sort of in a hurry to catch a train though- I reached into my pocket and luckily I had 2 dollars- oh, and an orange…

It wasn’t much but I gave it to him. THEN I realized I also had an apple, how could I forget?

I ran after him shouting, “Oh!! - And, man?

“…I also have an apple”

I felt like by that point he must have thought I was craaayzay. He had nothing to say.

We were cracking up because I acted as though that apple was the deal breaker.

For a while, I just spoke like that, “oh, and-____ [fill in the blank]

But, now that I think about it, it is a good/easy concept.

Most of us have a extra…something.

Oh! and, a dollar.

Oh!- and, a piece of gum.

Oh! —and, a coffee…

see.

There’s always something.

So , I am proposing we pass it on.

We carry something extra, and we’re ready to pass it on when we need to.

Oh!- & Man

I just saw the most beautiful thing in a while.

Fri, 19 Oct 2012 16:23:30 -0700

I went to the Starbucks that I have most frequently been a patron and sat down next to a young- maybe ten year old- very quaint and classy looking boy [it’s starting to sound strangely of course.] [It’s not going anywhere weird, I promise.]

Anyway, this boy is kindly and quietly working on math homework- alone[WHY].

So there’s this agent guy who is constantly in Starbucks- I swear he’s been in here every single time I’ve been here. He talks up pretty ladies like, “You know, you would photograph well, you just have the exactly look I am trying to capture.”

He came in with a Panera sandwich and just dropped it off at Victor [I am just learning that is the boy’s name]’s table. He said you should eat this now so you don’t have to eat later.

And now, he is carrying on a convo with this older man who -I sweeeear lives here. ANyway, I LOVE seeing stuff like that.

Your art

is ugly

It cannot

be referred to-

or named-

or called-

ART.

If you could just listen instead of

yelling

jumping to conclusions

making assumptions.

This solution

is a ~~resolution~~

it only causes confusion.

You are

in the wrong,

but maybe so am I.

Also, I finally got my new biiiike, yo.

The question is: why am I so inconsistent with writing?

Sun, 14 Oct 2012 22:13:55 -0700

Hi.

I have entered into a life that does not require me to write approximately…5 ish months ago.

This is a very bizarre realm for me. Because it is bizarre, you might think- “Oh, geeee willikers! Now this girl must have all kinds of free time to write whatever the #$%^& she desires.”

Yeah, well you’re wrong. Even if you enjoy something, you might not do it.

I haven’t been making assignments for myself.

My audio assignments will finally begin next week, but let me repeat myself, these are not writing assignments.

This sort of newness introduces me to a world of oblivion. I am introduced to patterns that I am not entirely used to:

“fending for myself”

not attending academic classes

taking steps into some kind of direction of career [?!?! whaaaat.]

Then, big picture questions start forming:

WHooooo am I? WHat is my purpose? Whaaaat am I doing here? Where is my community? Where is my built in community—- wow, this is just getting dramatic [SHAAAADDDAAP KREEEENA]

Ok, I’ll shut up.

I got into The Groundlings shcool for improv and comedy, so I’m pretty pumped, because I kind of want to be on SNL. But, so do a lot of people.

Anyway, California is really hot, and the state enjoys brain teasers like, “Ohhhh let me just send you a nice 65 degree day-hahahah FOOLED YOU IT’S 98 DEGREES ERRRY OTHER DAY.

I miss autumn, but that’s not all I miss. I have not experienced this feeling of “missing” so strongly in my life before this “chapter” - this literal book chapter-

A Day in the Life of Karina By: Karina Jane Daum- I have not written that book, but maaaaaybe I will- who am I kidding- that’s a lot of writing [something that I do inconsistently hence the purpose of this post.]

Bye.
