(no subject)
We did a table read of the rewrite I've done 4 times in yesterday's class.
The entire class- about 70 people (Or 1/4 of the school) was there to witness my name on a super pipe-y 7 page script about strippers.
It was painful. But the two jokes I snuck in got laughs. I'd be happier about this if it wasn't so painful to hear the rest of the script. It was really, really bad.
I'm off the project though now. I was trying to get fired, but it worked out to be a pretty amicable break up. It would have been nice to have written a director proof script that would make Veronica look like a genius. I want to be a super hero like that, but after this much, I know I lack the skills to do that, and fail at writing. I'm not a super hero, but i can't be too bummed about it. Maybe I'll file it away and drink think about it later.
I'm in a happy mood because 1) I got off the project, and my wonderful advisers even said I didn't have to put my name on it. 2) I talked to my counselor who told me that YES, I was all set to graduate on June 26th. and 3) I got asked to be the script supervisor for a film I actually WANT to be on! (this is the big deal)
I always end up getting jobs on sets that suck, but I really WANT to be on this guys set- it's a really cool short about a mortician, and I'm fucking stoked as hell.
It means I'll be scrambling to get the rest of my work done for this quarter, but it's worth it, because It means I get to finally work on a set that I'll be psyched to be a part of. (that being said, I've had some fun times on set before, but this is the first time I've been so excited to be on set for a Senior Thesis Film)
I feel a little bad, because the excuse I used to get out of writing more drafts was that I had to concentrate on my stuff, and then Chris's Scripty dropped out and he asked me. (I don't care if I'm not first choice, it's that cool of a project that even my huge ego isn't hurt.) I think I'll just worry about that drama, IF it happens, WHEN it happens.
In other news, Seth MacFarlane's doing a show next month. I'm trying to decide If I want to go. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, but I've already seen MacF perform live, he's not high on my list of priorities to see (with out the rest of his writing team) again. That being said, I haven't been to a concert for a while, and seeing an orchestra perform is fun. We'll see.
In Other Other news, if I'm gonna be up, I should really be writing for class. But I'm lazy lol. that's pretty terrible :( Oh well. Last Night's "Office" won't watch itself!
