Hey Dear Reader. Not a whole heck of a lot to talk about this time, but I missed you, so I thought I’d come say hello. Here are some scatterbrained things that are going on, skip through them as you please:
1. We are moving. Soon. Got the new place and everything. Despite my slightly comedic comments earlier, I do actually think this is for the best. I love this apartment, it’s a wonderful place and I’ll miss it, but there are many reasons it’s time to move on. I get screwed on the transit to USC, but that was always gonna happen. As Corelyn observed, “USC is in a terrible area. It’s not like we were ever going to move closer.”
2. 24 is on the ball this season. I could do without Jon Voight’s ridiculous acting, but excepting that this latest season has been pretty good: low on torture, high on melodrama. It’s not first season, but it’s exciting and well put together. “24″ is one of those shows it must be a blast to work on, because you’re always going at 110 percent, and you have a niche you know how to fill. I have an instructor who was a 2nd unit DP there for awhile, and he has lots of positive things to say.
3. It is hot as crap here. I mean it’s seriously disgusting how hot it is. Now we have a massive AC, so we’re chilling, but I have friends living in what are essentially dorm rooms with nothing for cooling down. I don’t know how it’s possible to survive like that. I invited them to come sleep on our couch, but I guess everyone feels weird doing that with a married couple.
4. I have cautious optimism about “Terminator: Salvation.” The trailers look interesting, I’m willing to see how it plays out. Unless the reviews are awful, you’ve got my ten bucks.
5. School is winding down. Ah, the first semester comes to a close. The next one is, allegedly, the busiest and most intense of the entire program. I’m excited for that, honestly. I’m still young and hungry, the idea of diving in headfirst is very appealing.
The tradeoff, of course, being my marriage. My hat goes off to Brady and Holly, I know they struggled with seeing each other rarely to a more extreme extent (plus they had kids), and I’m developing a vast appreciation for how strong a marriage has to be to weather that. I tend to have 12-14 hour days almost every day, and Corelyn tires out by midnight, so there’s like an hour in there where we can see each other. Plus I shoot on weekends. Sheesh.
6. Batman is still awesome. In case you were wondering (and if you were, shame on you), he is still better than all the Marvel superheroes combined. Suck on that, Marvel fans. Boo-yah.
6. You’re a Jerk- Hey! Just because Batman is the MAN does not mean you have to hate on Marvel…especially since you should be making fun of Superman.
