The Andrew Update

Don't blame me; I voted for Luthor. (Thanks to RM, who for some reason feels the need to encrypt his emails these days, so I'll be absolutely sure it's him sending me humorous links.)

To clarify a James statement, yes, I do indeed have a promotional notepad from the show Night Stalker, which probably failed because of Stuart Townsend's unsexy American accent. I got said notepad because I've been working at KEZI, the local ABC affiliate in Eugene (privately owned, as James points out, by Charleston Kezi of the Eugene Kezis).

I'm a "technical director", or in broadcast news parlance a "switcher." On the morning news, at approximately the buttcrack of dawn, I switch between cameras, video tape decks, chyrons, and still stores, determining what gets sent out live. A fellow Andrew at the station describes us as "D.J.s who don't get laid," and who don't have any say in what they put on the air, and whose primary audience is probably over forty.

In other news, I got rejected from USC film school again -- but only after being on the wait list, which is a step in the right direction. I plan to apply again for the fall 2007 semester.

And that's...the Andrew update.
