If i had the chance I'd ask the world to dance
At work, procrastinating. I've actually made good progress on the manuscript I'm reading... marking it up more than I have. I like this work, though I still think I'd rather be an editor than an agent. I just know something about reading and then--here's the important part--marking it up, helping to make it better, excites me like nothing else. As did the job of the "creative executive" from Scott Rudin Productions who came in on Tuesday--her job is literally to take ideas and bring them to Scott in the hopes that maybe one of them could be a movie. How much fun is that? I think it's hilarious that I--former miss I-just-want-a-high-paying-job, maybe-I-should-just-go-to-law-school--now want a creative job. I used to think of my life in such limited terms: high school --> college (a good one) --> law school --> job. Money is the prerequisitve for the kind of life I want, of course, and I saw only that linear path. But now... yeah, I still don't want to do the poor and struggling thing, but thanks to Steffan and all this... I see more.
UPDATE: They offered me a position for the fall. Wheee!! Probably injuidicously, I took it. But I don't care, even if it means I drop the Spectator (kind of looking for a way out of that, anyway). SCORE.
So... last night was fun. Hung out with Coop and Clint and watched 300. (All I can say is--how is that movie not more controversial? Gay black bad guys, white straight good guys... hello?!???!? I'm not even liberal or particularly pc, and I was offended!) I counseled Coop on his girl troubles. Good stuff.
As you can tell from my choice of icon, I'm feeling good right now. I don't want to say that b/c I don't want to jinx it, but... I do. I can't help it. Sue me.
