I got a quick job, so my blogging took a backseat for a while. Not that I wasn't dealing with the demons of having the same job I started production with ten years ago (same producer, same position: assistant/Office PA. It was humbling, to say the least.) or with the HELL that is Beverly Hills. Thank God, I'm unemployed again and back to my damned friends. Like CYNASSA.
Fabulous doesn't do him justice. His nature is described as quicksilver. I love that adjective! Cynassa is shining and malleable like Kevin Bacon. He manifests himself medium-tall and the color of a shining star. Whuut?! He incites love and lust in mortals, and increases a human's sense of pleasure- again, much like bacon. (Umm, I wanna meet this "demon"...) Bonus: Cynassa has the power to provide luxurious gifts like spendy perfume and fabrics. He is a minister of the demon Sarabocres and connected to the planet Venus. Three angels, Hanahel, Raquyel, and Salguyel, have power over him.
Why did I choose Cynassa? How could I not? After a week of feeling less than quicksilver doing PA runs in traffic all over the city, I needed a little awesome to feel like myself again. Don't get me wrong- this job saved my life and I love my bosses. But it gave me a new appreciation for how hard the entertainment business is on people. Not because I was doing an entry level job with entry level bagel responsibilities that I thought was long behind me, but because I was doing it with the gift of perspective.
Eighteen months away from a production office is a sizable chunk of time. It's enough time to realize entertainment is what it is. We're telling stories and trying to make people happy. And if you take yourself or the business too seriously, you won't succeed at either for very long. So you enjoy the little things like the word "quicksilver", getting taken to lunch by your boss, and Kevin Bacon.
