So Thursday night things went more or less as planned. First we played Upwords while I made dinner, then ate and watched The Graduate. She thought Benjamin Braddock was annoying and disliked the ending because she was already married. I guess that kind of defines the differences in the ways we see the world. She also didn't like how they repeated the same songs. She claims to have liked it okay though.. We slept in separate beds and in the morning she hurried out. There's probably some stuff I should write about in my paper journal.
I went off to work on Pushing Daises. It was only 2nd unit of a car explosion and a Pacer on fire upside down on a big turn table. Luckily it was a short day so I was able to go meet my French relatives at their hotel when they arrived on their free trip to L.A. to see the Eagles. Julie was tired and went to bed, but Denis and I drove around a bit and went to Canter's he was so pleased by the place that he asked if we could come back with Julie.
On Saturday I went to USC for a Cinema school career seminar thing, and spoke with one of the panelists whose student film I had helped out on. He remembered my name and I gave him my card. There is a good chance he might call me to be a camera intern at some point. Then I got a bit lost trying to find the new location for my book group. We had so many people at the book group that split the group, and I ended up on the other end of the table from the new girl I'd been looking forward to seeing again. I still feel like I'm new even though I've been going for two years.
In the evening eD came over and we watched Powaqqatsi. We both agree that Baraka is better. **.
Sunday I picked up Denis and Julie, we walked down Hollywood Blvd, drove down Sunset, walked down Rodeo Dr. walked through 3rd St. Promenade, and down to Venice. Then we went to the Glendale Galleria cause they (Julie) wanted to do some more American shopping. Quite the whirlwind L.A. tour, but when you're only in town for a weekend, not too bad.
This morning I had an interview for a transcribing job. They offered and I reluctantly took it. The pay is lower than I've gotten in the past and it's a bit far away in Manhattan Beach, but I'm really in no position to pass up work. To make matters worse though a certain someone is thinking I'm an idiot for taking jobs that don't seem to take me anywhere. There is only so much reminding her and myself that every new job is meeting new people who might hire me in the future. she's got me thinking that I might just have to set a definite out point and back up career plans in case this whole working in the industry thing doesn't work out.
So anyway I'm feeling a bit lonely.
Tomorrow I have to go to Manhattan Beach to do start paperwork and stuff. They want me to start tomorrow, but I already have a 2 day background gig. So I'm probably gonna have to do some weekend make-up days, but that'll mean extra money for me to get caught back up.
