Annnnnnd....time!

Stop the clock. Where are we? Two days shy of a month? (I can't believe it's only been a month since I moved here, it feels like a friggin' eternity, and an eternity is no amount of time to be crashing in your friends guest room). So 28 days, it took me the same amount of time for a zombie virus to clear out London to...get a job. Wahoo! Well, I'll be pulling a regular paycheck for two months, and then in January it's back to the fretting. The point is, I haven't fallen flat on my face, which many were predicting...well, I was predicting. Not that that possibility's not still there. If you want to work in the industry, you're going to have to wonder where your next job is coming from...alot. But super-extra-special thanks to Matt Lenhart for hooking me up with this gig. Two months is a lot of time to tell all the other people I've met here that I'm free to work in January. Right now I'm not completely aware of what I'm working on, but I will be a "Logger." Loggers watch the raw footage and write down the timecode of the in-points and out-points of each shot, and write down a description of the shot. This is all to help the proper editor, who I will endear myself to so that I get rehired as an assistant at $50 an hour.

Short-Haired Hiatus
I'm getting yelled at by Don Hall about the Short-Haired Chick Friday hiatus. Apologies. I will get one up this week and try to stay on track. Nobody has yelled at me about the hiatus in your Daily Moon Knight, which I'm a little upset with. It's Moon Knight, he's cool, almost as cool as Man-Thing, get a little outraged. Oh, and I'm aware I have some new readers I've been meeting here, so: Short-Haired Chick Friday is a tradition long-held on this weblog, every Friday i celebrate a new chick with short haIr with lots of pictures and lecherous text. I've actually received very warm praise from women with short hair who felt I vindicated their choice by celebrating it. I've also received warm praise from Don Hall, who wants to fuck everything.

Yesh-Menaish, My Name-A Borat
I laughed my ass off at Borat, it could easily be one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. The hype on it is damn close to correct. Can you belive they did an entire movie that just candid stunts? I love stunts, I wish they had worked on UCB's tv show. The whole movie is just stunts, I love it.

BUT THE BEST THING about Borat is the appearance by Todd Voorhies! Oh my god, the guys traveling in the trailer are such Todd's'. As soon as they came on the screen Bart and I looked at each other and say "Todd Voorhies." And then the son of a bitch turns around and he's WEARING A COCKS HAT!!!

Okay, I gotta get going, I'm signing up with another temp agency (an appointment I made before I was gainfully employed...for two months) and meeting with a VIP, a very important Pasadenian. Who is my mystery meeting? You'll have to tune in tomorrow.

You know on the outside. You appear shy and a loner type.. but then when I went here for the first time and saw your website.. boy it'a a whole different world that you got here. There are these questionairs that tv/ game shows want you to fill out.. to get to know you better. And one of the questions is:
What is the thing that you are hiding that others cant tell when they se you. (something like that) dont be nasty now...haha
