hey everyone!
sorry for not posting last week, the end of the week got a little crazy over here! i had to be at work at 7am on friday, which means that i had to wake up at 5:30am in order to get here on time! geeeez.. no fun at all! anywho, after work i helped out the boys with their production of goatherder, which means that i left work and went directly to the shoot! my friday went from 5:30am to 6am sat morning. i never pulled an all nighter in college... and man oh man, this was tough! but all in all it wasn't too bad because i was helping with something i enjoy and i was actually doing something and not just sitting behind a computer! anywho, the shoot went great, everything looks good! saturday i woke up at about 4pm and had to get ready to do it all again on sat night.. we went from 6pm to about 7am on sunday... i was tired! sunday i slept until about 2pm and woke up and started cleaning and doing little things around the house that needed to get done. we had a busy weekend to say the least! i thought i was getting sick fri/sat night, so i've been drinking green tea like a crazy person! i can't get sick before NYC!!!
anywho, it was a good weekend, it was really nice to be helping the boys out and doing the film thing. so much better than sitting behind a desk all day, that's for sure! i like being able to help them out!
i received an e-mail today about a part-time position in berkeley for a post-production assistant sorta job! i was 1/12 out of 250 applicants that they have sifted through! we have a short little phone conversation and he told me that he would let me know later this week if i get an in-person interview, so i guess we will see what happens! i also got an e-mail from proactiv today saying that they still haven't filled the position that i applied for back in may... haha, oh lordy. anywho, i wrote them back telling them that i am temping at the moment, so hey, i guess we'll see what happens with them as well!
after working in the city these past five weeks i will have spent $175 ($35/week) on transportation alone... i don't like that one bit, especially since this company isn't helping me out in that area at all. ehh, i don't know. i like working in the city and all but it is so freaking expensive to get here and so time consuming! i don't think i would like a full time job here... in other news, my last day here is on friday! whoo hooooo! i'm so excited! i will be happy when this job is over with. it was nice to meet some new people, but geez, some of these girls are just ridiculous. it reminds me of why i hated high school so much. it's sad that some people never grow up! i don't think i would want a full time position here even if they offered me one. my supervisor today said something to me about how i say "i'm going to go pee" and she said that was unprofessional. i mean, i understand what she is saying, i guess maybe it's because i'm from ky or something.. but she went on about it for like 5 minutes and it's like, geez, i get it now i'm just embarrassed! i am very ready for this temp assignment to be over with :) it's just lame to be a temp b/c the people treat you like they are never going to see you again, which i understand, but i mean if i was at a company and a temp was here, i would go out of my way to help them feel welcome, no matter what! ehhh.. like i said earlier, some people never grow up.
i can't say it enough that i can't wait for this week to be over with! i am sooooooo excited for next monday!! this time next week tory, scott, joel and myself will be in New York!!!!!!! i cannot wait!!!!! i am so so so so so pumped!!! i'm so ready for a vacation!! we're going to have so much fun!!!! yaaaaayyyy! NYC here we come!!!!!
in other news, i'm going to be coming home oct 19-26! i'm really excited to be coming home! it will be nice to spend some time with my family and friends and just to relax at home for a bit! these next couple of months i feel good things happening!! :) let's hope i get a real job and no more temp jobs!!! we'll see what happens!! hope you all got a lot of rest this weekend!!!
love and miss you all,

2 more weeks!
hey everyone!
hope you all are doing great! i've been pretty busy with work going from 6:30am-6:30pm... it's a long day making it all the way over to san francisco by 8:30am! anywho, it's been good some days and not so good on others.. like with any job. i was just told yesterday that my temp position will be extended for two more weeks.. so that's good. at least i'll be making some more money!
i was looking forward to helping tory and the boys (scott and joel) out with joel's short film, goatherder. go to this website to check it out: http://www.indiegogo.com/Goatherder?i=fcbk sadly, you can't give any more money at this time. but anywho, with my job extension, i won't be able to help out as much as i would've liked... so that sucks :( hmph... i would've liked to get more hands on experience with doing the stuff that i like most... but i have to make some money.
everything is going good. i've been cooking about the same amount.. so that's good! i think this week we've eaten at home mon-fri! so that's good. last night we had eggs, bacon and toast for dinner. the night before that i got a jar of indian sauce that's like chicken tikka missala.. put some chicken in a skillet and threw it all together with some rice and naan! that was really good. sorry, i'm getting worse at taking pictures of the things that i make... but i don't really consider that something that i "made" even though i cooked it... haha. then the night before that i made homemade spaghetti sauce, homemade bread sticks with whole wheat pasta. tuesday we had a little snack since we went and saw a movie with the boys (scott and joel).
we have movie night every tuesday. it's fun! this week we went and saw a french film, Mesrine: Public Enemy #1. it was pretty intense! it came out a couple years ago in france and just now came out here! it was a pretty good movie, although there were a couple times that i couldn't look at the screen because it was yiiiiiiiiiiiikes! but it was an interesting film. also, it's split into two parts, so that's exciting! the 2nd part comes out in two weeks, so i will be excited to see the conclusion!
wednesday i went and hung out with my friend that worked in Haas Pavilion (the same building that sodexo was in), anna! it was so nice to have some girl time and just talk about what's going on in our lives, etc. she wanted to go dress shopping since she is going to a wedding in a couple weeks, so we went and i tried on some pretty dorky dresses, but it was a good time! i'm sure we'll do it again soon!
i'm glad it will be a long weekend! i'm ready to sleep in and catch up on some things that i need to do around the house! also, it will be nice to help out the boys for a day! whoo hoo! in other news, i told you guys about NYTV Festival.. well, guess whattttt!? i'm on IMDB! Jennifer McLaughlin (III) hahaha. here is the direct link: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4026406/ supposedly my popularity is down 32% this week... geez, what's up with that?! hahaha. i'm pretty excited about it!
tory and myself are getting pretty excited about going to new york in a couple of weeks! have i told you guys about that yet? well anywho, we are going to new york for the festival from the 20-27! scott and joel are going too! i think it will be a great time and i think we are going to be able to get tickets for all of us for the daily things. if they can't get me a ticket for everyday, that's fine... i'm sure it would be easy to occupy myself with some shopping... even though i really shouldn't buy anything. haha! tory also found this awesome house that we are going to be staying at in brooklyn with an older lady. tory, scott and i will share a room, so that will be interesting. i don't think it will be a problem at all. it won't bother me one bit since we will be staying there the whole time for a total of $750!!! that's such a steal!!! we are very excited about it and it's super safe and close to the subway! i think tory told me it was rated the number 1 neighborhood in nyc! so that's great news! on top of that, i don't think we're getting ripped off so that's even better! hotel rooms were going to be like $350-$400/night... so i think we are verrrrrry lucky!
well i hope i wrote enough for you guys! i hope you all have a wonderful long and relaxing weekend!
love and miss you all,
