I realized something today. Technically, I have a paying job. Today was the first day of shooting for that film I'm PAing on, and things went pretty smoothly. I got the hang of things pretty quick and I was moderately helpful. I learned a lot of things about the actual filming process and equipment (because I've never used anything beyond a consumer grade digital camcorder). Despite a sore back, all in all it was a great day for me.
It feels kind of good to have this job because it's exactly that. It may only be on Sundays and I'll probably never see any money from it (I get 2% after the film grosses $400, which is unlikely and even if it does it'll barely be anything), but it's still a job. It really gives me a sense of satisfaction that I'm actually doing something, and it's something I really want to do with my life. I'm really glad I'm doing it.
If you want to be really technical I'm also in "landscaping " as Julie calls it. But I do that mostly to get a tan.

Now go back to the previous entry and look at how silly you sound. I'm happy for you.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's 2am. I know.
Good on ya darlin! Ive been a bit blog/internet incommunicado lately, but good to come here and see things are looking up!~
ReplyDeleteha ha, YES landscaping!!
ReplyDeleteHe's burying dead bodies for you, is he?
ReplyDeletenot the whole body... just the pieces that I couldn't fit anywhere else
ReplyDeleteRich was sitting on the bed reading comments, with the mouse right in front of him. He looked at me, flailed his arms wildly and said, "Click, click!" Little did he know that mice do not click themselves.
ReplyDeleteI saw you pick up something that was the same color as the mouse so I thought you had it! It's not like I was looking at the mouse or anything. Geez.
ReplyDeleteOh, that? I was just scratching my balls.
ReplyDeleteYour balls are the same color as the mouse?
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should see a doctor about that.
Well, I think that depends very much so on the color of the mouse
ReplyDeleteOr was it just that Rich had himself some special ball colored mouse?
ReplyDeleteperhaps...
ReplyDeleteNope. Metallic silver.
ReplyDeleteOoh, Jason. You really gotta see a doctor. Or an engineer?
ReplyDeleteAs an engineer, I'd say see a doctor... I don't want your metallic silver balls near me
ReplyDeleteI wonder it they're Transformer metallic silver balls?
ReplyDeleteIf so, I wonder what they transform into?
one turns into a laser beam and the other shoots out nuclear missiles
ReplyDeleteDang, it would be alot more fun if they'd turn into Katamari.
ReplyDeleteYou play Katamari? That officially makes you awesome!
ReplyDeleteShe plays GTA too. I wish my mom would play video games with me. Well, not my mom, but if I had a cool mom.
ReplyDeleteI've got the cool mom, neener neener neener
ReplyDeleteI'll trade you.
ReplyDeletewhy the hell would I want to trade with you?!?!?!? I'll share if you just want to let yours go, but there is no way you are convincing me that I should take your mom!
ReplyDeleteFair enough. Yay to my new mom!
ReplyDeleteyay to now having 9 siblings
ReplyDeleteI have so many children I'm thinking of living in a shoe.
ReplyDeleteI totally call the left side of the shoe lace as my own personal slide?
ReplyDelete^ Something is serious wrong with me

Well yeah, but we like you for being different.
ReplyDeleteI meant, that it wasn't my account that wrote that, if you notice it says 'julie' instead of 'julies' and it doesn't have my picture
ReplyDeleteChicken Monkey shoes???
ReplyDeleteyou want a pair
ReplyDeleteOnly if they're Orange Ninha Elephant Style!
ReplyDeleteI'm not exactly sure what a NinHa is, but I want one.
You'll have to ask Rich about that, but I think it's kick ass!!!
ReplyDeleteGo Ninha Go Ninha GO
So, do you want a a pair too?
ReplyDeleteI could settle for one :)
ReplyDeleteOne shoe, or one pair?
ReplyDeletewell it depends, one Ninha or one pair of chicken monkey shoes... I can't tell what we are talking about anymore so I can't really give a definative answer. I don't need two Ninhas or just one shoe.
ReplyDelete39 comments? That must be a record.
ReplyDeleteor that I have nothing better to do than respond to everything everyone says
ReplyDeleteWell, someone else will have to get you a Ninha, because I don't know what it is. If I ever see a pair of Chicken Monkey shoes I'll get some for you.
ReplyDeleteI found all sorts of crazy things at work today, including but not limited to:
ReplyDelete* Fire Truck Rain Boots
* A Yellow Submarine floatable radio for the bathtub (might become a christmas present for Jimmy)
* A whaling hat for the rainforest
* Knitted baked goods
Were you on some kind of crazy treasure hunt?
ReplyDeleteMethinks she was playing Katamari.
ReplyDeleteOh, all of those things would be so fun to roll up. They would belong to the collection of crazy things found in Julie's office.
ReplyDeleteI was playing 'What can I look up on the internet that isn't blocked and won't look like I'm completely slacking off when my boss's boss comes by, even though it's well known by everyone in our group that I, at most, get 5 minutes of work a week' It's quite a delightful game and I highly recommend it for anyone who sits in a cubicle for 9 hrs a day doing absolutely nothing.
ReplyDeleteWould you rather be a migrant farm worker? There would be plenty to do.
ReplyDeleteI've actually started to get A LOT done... none of it for Cummins, but hey, I still feel accomplished anyway
ReplyDeleteYou don't know what a ninha is? Have you been living under a rock (in the least offensive way possible)? I see what happens when I lose Internet for a month (and counting) and leave you guys commenting on my blog. It's okay though because I make Jason read me my comments every night before I go to bed.
ReplyDeleteI haven't quite been living under a rock, I do have internet after all.
ReplyDeleteBut Rich, PLEASE tell me what a ninha is, I NEED to know. Does it have any special dietary restrictions?
I can't believe that you are SOO out of the loop! Didn't you learn anything from your mother?!?!? She's in the loop, for life!
ReplyDeleteIn da LOOP, Baby!
ReplyDeleteAnd a Ninha isn't very exciting. It's the sound you make when you blow into a Nintendo cartridge and it actually works. Ha! Nintendo! Ha! I won the battle this time!
Well, I have already given many, many blow jobs to Nintendo cartridges, so I guess I don't need a new Ninha.
ReplyDeleteI love how hardly any of this has anything to do with the original post, it's like a chat forum and the post was just a prompt
ReplyDelete
