I was missing VFS and my old homies up there (okay, I'm not cool enough to say "homies." shut up), so I called Kat last night. And she gave me some good advice that was exactly what I needed to hear about my leaving LA. Simple but not what I had been thinking ( Read more... )

Hello, folks. This will not be the final part of my "TV Reviews" series, for two reasons: 1) the last section of the document somehow erased itself from my computer, despite the fact that Word makes regular backups when the computer crashes. 2) I have far more important and dire (at least from my perpective) news ( Read more... )

Before we begin, a personal note: I’ve got a tentative job offer (tentative as the manager likes me, but she has to go through the Regional Manager). Don’t get excited, it’s nothing cool, just a seasonal job at See’s Candies. But, as my grandfather used to say, it’s better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick (really, how many things can you ( Read more... )

Okay. Here we go, with seemingly the hundredth time I've said "I'm really going to start using my LJ." Again, probably not really, but it's been a while since I posted--or, really, talked with almost anyone likely to read this.

As per usual (well, so far as a practice that has occurred twice in four years can define “usual”), I will focus on the new shows, but I will also make mention of a couple returning shows that seem to have undergone a relatively large change. So here we are, in ( Read more... )

Hey, all. Remember that story editing internship I applied for, that I was all excited about? I didn't get it. Disappointing, but not surprising, because I figured they would have let me know about two weeks ago if I had gotten it, so I'd been setting myself up for it. Besides, much worse things have happened recently.

So. My future. So up in the air, great possibilities but terrifying possible downfalls frightening the hell out of me. Kat, my Story Editing teacher, just gave a big speech about our futures, years at "joe jobs" and how to balance that with writing, and how to get jobs like story editing, Script Supervisors, etc. I feel like I good be big, but I ( Read more... )

Hail all (but especially me ( Read more... )
