Very good, but exhausting weekend.

On Saturday I participated in a filmmaking master class led by David Burton Morris.  I would've liked to be a sound operator, but I was shanghaied into gaffing.  For all of you non-movieish people, "gaffing" entails setting up lights; a complex and time-consuming aspect of motion picture production.

This was the ( Read more... )

A very old, very obscure acquaintance just sent me a Facebook invite to become a fan of

"iPad Testers Wanted - Test It and Keep It"

Yeah, okay.  I checked the page out, it has zero credentials.  All it says is "we are a marketing research company and we need 10,000 testers to try out the new Apple iPad!  Once we're done with the research project, you ( Read more... )

Pssst!  Hey, Livejournal!

Stop messing up the font, size and layout of the text in my entries!!

THANKS.

The Facts:
1.) In order to be a happy, productive member of society after graduation, I need to have purchasing power.
2.) To have purchasing power, I need a good credit score.
3.) For that, I need to get a credit card, so I can start establishing a credit history.
4.) Last September, I applied for a CitiBank card.
5.) I was immediately denied, the ( Read more... )

In true Valentines Day Singles Awareness Day Chinese New Year fashion, I've come up with a silly emo analogy, one that I actually kind of like.

Loneliness = Black Hole in my chest
Love = Supernova in my chest

I hope to use the latter in something written.  Don't steal it!

In a hilarious conversation over dinner, Matt, Mac and I finalized the tracklist ( Read more... )

Weekend number two of the semester has been beautiful.

Friday Night: Five Guys burgers, videogame music, and telephone/pictionary.

Tonight: Field of Greens (wraps/soup/etc.), watching the Houston Symphony perform Holst's "The Planets," and Peter Pan Diner afterward.

And then after coming back, I took a forty-minute walk around campus, listening to ( Read more... )

While walking to class, I keep running into people that look familiar.  We make eye contact for just a second, and then they're gone.  And I'm left thinking who the hell was that?

And then I remember why they're familiar; they showed up to auditions, and I'd rejected them.

Then I feel bad.

This kind of thing shouldn't bother me, but it does.

Blaalaaauuugh.

I did not sleep well last night.  My neighbors were loud, and even after I got my ceiling fan revving hard enough to provide some white noise I just tossed and turned.  I don't think I conked out until 5.

Of course, now I'm sleepy.

At the moment, I'm sitting in the computer lab, getting paid to write this (yessssss).  I don't have a set ( Read more... )

Mmm.

As it turns out, Wednesday was my last day out for my last Winter Break.

I had a meeting with the head of MGM's film production department (who informed me that MGM is a dead end for future employment- the company's up for sale.)

Then I grabbed lunch, almost got in a car crash, and hung around Michael's house for a few hours.

Then Jirard and I had ( Read more... )

Uhhh-HUUUU-aaaaaarrrrrgh.

Finally, an honest-to-god, no-strings-attached good night.

At Jafari's, of all places.

Telephone-Pictionary (new favorite party game) and then some Texas Hold 'em.

No booze, no music.  Just friends, and some excellent times.

And excellent jokes too (Retarded Jesus, Reservoir Dickpunch, etc.)

My parents aren't even pissed that ( Read more... )
