Babysitting for the sis.
The sky is more dark here - the air more crisp.
By my apartment, the sky glows at night. The air is damp with the moisture from the river. The city beckons from my home. It's steady heartbeat drumming back and forth on the PATH train.
I'm watching television. "In Her Shoes" One of those typically girly movies I tend to get sucked into.

He stepped off the elevator on the 4th floor at Grand St, resume in hand, hoping to land a gig. His bravado made an impression and luckily we had an opening. Jesse worked with us thru three projects – two features and a tv show.I remember the first day I introduced myself to him.

It isn't for lack of material - God knows there's been plenty of drama going on between now and last November.

The series portion was just as insane as the pilot but spread out over about five months - more than five hours sleep was a rare thing during that time. We managed to crank out five episodes before various factors shut us down - about a week BEFORE the writer's strike.Rocky & Mugsy's Mollhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03638010023649792098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5221107.post-40598992333275253372007-04-27T20:17:00.000-04:002007-04-27T22:04:10.171-04:00Never say it can't get worse cause sure as shit it will certainly get worse - usually in ways you couldn't even imagine.I didn't do this fatal flaw on Tuesday but what I didn't know was that someone else had tempted fate for me......Couple weeks ago, the writer on one of the pilots I worked on emailed to ask me for a working draft of the script.

I have high hopes to finish not only the first spec but a second one as well. Boss man's new assistant and I get along great. I have no problem training him or responding to all his questions.

It was a long haul but in the end I was glad for the experience. I feel like I can handle almost anything after the marathon of torture we all endured on that set.The director turned out to be two faced.

Boss man has about four projects brewing at the moment. The Feature which starts filming in Jan. We are in the beginning stages of pre-production right now. I'm not sure of my exact function yet - although I was told to up my cellphone plan as I will be using it non-stop. The TV Show which starts pre-production in January - filming in February.

He's on the list of potential accountants for the feature. I left him a message to get his resume and check his availability.So why did he call back for my boss?And better yet, why can't I get my freaking mind to work better?

Luckily for me, my sunshine took pity on me and drove to my office to drop it off for me.My boss called in, his partner hollered out that he wanted to talk to him once I was done. I finished my conversation with him and told his partner he was on line two.

I have rejoined the ranks of the working class and most importantly the living.

Back at NYU, lots of things have changed, but that's nothing new I guess. A college in the heart of a city that can't stay the same has to keep up with the pace of the world around it.

Snow days were the best thing to wake up to any day of the school week.

This week seemed to be on an up note. I was scheduled for an interview at Oxygen Media - granted it was for the paid internship I was griping about - but a job interview is a job interview. I'd also applied for a writing gig on a cooking show and I was actually asked to submit a sample script. Unfortunately, the roof fell in right afterwards.

No matter how I try to craft my cover letters and regardless of my letters of recommendations, I still can't even land an interview.

I'm sitting here listening to my boyfriend snore in the bedroom. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there who thinks of this as an annoying habit. Poking, yelling, and elbowing don't seem to deter the noise he makes whilst sleeping.
