Wow, September? That's kinda crazy.
Anyways, I've been getting some heat to update this thing (thank you little cousins and friends alike! ) So for your reading pleasure,
*drumroll*
WHAT'S JON BEEN UP TO RECENTLY!!!!!!
-Worked on couple of movies. One was a monster film called "Monster Mountain" (SO original) and was filmed up at Big Bear for a couple of weeks during a nasty storm, while the other was a thriller called "Marcus" for a couple of days at a creepy house with the REAL address # of 666). I worked for free on both and overall they were okay and I met a lot of cool people and gained a lot of valuable experience, although Big Bear was frickin freezing and the film is probably never ever gonna be shown, and I almost would feel insulted if it did (yeah, THAT bad, although the monster was pretty cool, both costume and actor). But at least I did get a nice 2 hour drive to myself going through the mountains to return the van, and some amazing views I cannot hope to describe. The other film looked really good though and I can't wait to see it some time. Both were low budget/independent films, so it may be awhile for either to be seen by the public.
-Halloween, and we had Trick or Treaters for the first time ever! It was so exciting giving candy to little kids dressed up! I suggest you try it if you haven't yet!
-Election Day, had a party that became very depressing as the election went on, for some would say "obvious" reasons, but let's not get into that.
-Went to Paris for Thanksgiving and ate some REALLY expensive food that honestly I could have done without. I don't regret eating the food, but when a dinner costs $650 for 3 people for ONE meal, it makes a person go , doncha think? At least I FINALLY got to go up the Eiffel Tower and the Arc De Trium, and even took a nice walk throught he Louvre and Paris while listening to my Ipod (Nothing like looking at fine art and listening to "Back in Black" to make an awesome day). The Louvre also had the added creepiness of having a robotic boy playing drums on the balcony of one of the side buildings outside, which many people at first mistook for a REAL boy and momentarily freaked out. I would've taken a picture, but ran out of film through the Louvre. Also did a nice sketch of the Winged Victory sculpture, which momentarily reminded me why I majored in Fine Arts...but only momentarily.
-Went home for Xmas and New Year's. The usual stuff.
-My twin sister Janelle won 2nd Princess status in the "Queen Narcissus" Pageant in Hawaii (which supposedly is just this Western thing with a Chinese persona). The awesome thing is that she gets to go to China for a 3 week trip with the rest of the court (4 princesses and 1 queen), and family members are allowed to go with! So if any of you happen to be going to China in June...good for you!
-Finally getting out of the apt. and doing 3 internships! (2 twice a week, 1 once). All require full days from me (9-7) and none are paying. Kinda sucks, but once again valuable experience and cool friends keep me level headed. Also it was starting to become eerily quiet around the apt. with only me around while my other roommates went to work. As a bonus I've been reading some pretty interesting scripts, and you would be amazed at how many scripts there really are in the business, either waiting to be read or waiting to be shred (hey, that rhymed!). Now if I could only get that "Batman Begins" script...
So those are the main things that have gone on in my life since September, with ofcourse little things going on inbetween that are hardly worth mentioning. But SEE? Isn't that nice to have so much to read? It's like being in traffic, then suddenly having a huge gap to drive super fast through!
Well, that should last you guys for awhile. Now stop bugging me! See ya in half a year (if even THAT soon).  |
