You're going to Finland to shoot adorable snow dogs?!?!

Then to toast them over fires made from wooly mammoth tusks before retiring the the yeti-hide huts, indeed.

Went for a job interview last week (for editing film), and when they explained what the actual job would be, I knew I didn't have the experience required to get it (and to be honest I didn't want it). But I knew one of my old classmates had done an interview that morning, had more experience than me and did want the job.

So when they asked me a question about editing, I basically told them that I was technically pretty good, but I wasn't sure if I had a real natural flair for it, like this classmate of mine, who edited one of our student films. I told them she was great, which wasn't an exaggeration.

And today, I got my rejection letter for that job, but I found out my friend got it instead. And they even mentioned to her what I had said, so it must have had some impact.

And, as i mentioned in my last post, I got a job offer since to do more camera related stuff, so it all worked out perfectly.

Happy days.

I was under the impression CA is a pretty arid place mostly to begin with? Most days o' sunshine annually in the country for LA, why it became the capital of cinema, yes?

That is why we need all the moisture we can get. Record droughts, governor declared an emergency. And King and Queen Creole over here are yukking it up, feasting on untold gallons of snowy crawdad stew or whatever.

They came with white hands and left with red hands.

Scrubs are ridiculously comfy.

As in, I may start wearing them full-time, Mon-Fri.

ALSO, I get to go grocery shopping and errand-running looking all medical and official and stuffs.

The poor other half is used to this routine by now, he'll spend the rest of the evening trying to get my attention only for me to respond "Sorry, did you say something? I can't hear you over all this gloriousness."

The knights of summer...

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

My new glasses work pretty well for me.

On the otherhand, I think I'm getting close to bifocals because my eyes are straight fucked. And that's depressing for someone in their mid 30's.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

My bf's silliness... as exemplified by this very recent conversation:

Blake: [comes up from behind couch and starts assembling a cabinet, accidentally placing a part on my bra lying on the couch next to me]
Me: Ack! Hey, wait, let me move that~
Blake: [old spice guy voice] Ladies - are you tired of your boyfriends building cabinets on your bras? ......Well, maybe you you should put pepper on his dick like Cosmo tells you to!
Me: [LMFAO]
Blake: Remember, pepper is for dick.

I'm quite happy at work. We did super-well over christmass, and all my colleagues are awesome!

Also redecorating the apartment which will give us not one, but two game/movie rooms(two projectors, two screens, two ps4s etc), so that I can play Dragon Age Inquisition uninterrupted, while Mr Awesome plays or watches something else. Can't fucking wait till we're done!

Things and stuffs...and other important objects.
