Go Ahead. Make My Blog.

Yeesh. I don't even have a job to hide behind anymore.

Oh, yeah. So let's see what all you've been missing out on... For starters, I was laid off from my job at Mojo the first day of June. Then Nickelodeon called looking for help shooting iCarly, and then Nate moved to LA and has been crashing in my room ever since. But don't worry. He's Gaston.

We ended up on a shoot as art department PAs, which was cool because it put us in direct involvement with crew from BATTLESHIP, HANCOCK, and SPIDER-MAN. It was paid, too, so everyone walked away a little wealthier -AND- a little richer. ;)

A buncha apartment situations fell through, leaving Nate stranded even longer at my place, and leaving life in something of a disarray. Thankfully, we're back to our old tricks and actually just began pre-prod on a new short musical. And it's video game-based! Just like old times! I'm feeling really good about it, too: it's got a strong script, some great music, insane costuming, and even some legit set-design and prop construction! All this for a tiny musical number? Yeah, Yoshi Stadium this isn't. Welcome to the real world of competitive filmmaking. :/

Now that you're up to speed, may I just take a brief moment to complain? The 4th of July is this coming weekend, and I'm in despair about a lack of exciting activities to do in celebration. Back when I had a job, I was all for making plans and maxing out the fun factor of my two bonus days off. Now, though, I'm pretty much solely focused on when we're shooting which scene and how long I have left to put these costumes together. It's almost like I'd rather not have the holiday yet, because I know I'm going to be brain-slaving after this film and not wanting to break away to embrace the time off. FUGAH!
