The Andrew Update: Summer Edition

| 6 Comments

It's come to my attention that I've been slacking on the website. Well, I've been busy, okay? Actually I've been letting a lot of things slide that I was supposed to get to a while back...oops. Mental note: do those things.

Aaaanyway, I'm still alive, still in Eugene, still working for a local network affiliated television station. I'm a full time "technical director"...like a director, but -- choke -- less than. Actually that might all change soon. More on that as news comes in. By the end of this week I'll have put in almost 30 overtime hours, which, yes, is excessive. My paycheck still won't be as big as it was in Atlanta. Go figure.

Julia is going to Seattle for the summer to intern with the Seattle Opera and Seattle Symphony, which means I'll be alone with the cat. I'll be busy, though, as I intend to, for only the secondish time, prepare a whole volley of applications to film schools. This time someone will totally accept me, I swear. And, if they don't, it looks likely that by the time Julia finishes her graduate program at the University of Oregon I'll be able to get a higher-paying TV job almost anywhere in the country.

If you're wondering why Julia and I still haven't tied the knot, it's because I have no interest patronizing an institution that discriminates against homosexuals, even if I would stand to benefit in some vague social or economical way. If you think that's stupid, I'm okay with that. If you feel offended because you think I'm judging you for participating in the aforementioned institution, you've got me all wrong. And if you're wondering why Julia stays with me anyway, it's because I have perfect legs.

Well, that's all for now...gotta go technically direct the 11 o'clock news. Less...than... ::sniff::

As a sequel to 10 Things I Hate About Commandments, here's a link Andrew passed along to another faux trailer. This one makes The Shining look like a family comedy.

Wow, these people are depressed

Here is a forum for people role-playing as characters from The Virgin Suicides in some kind of alternate universe where they didn't kill themselves in the end. (So, The Virgin Standing Aroundening.)

Your mission: infiltrate, but insist on playing the role of Donnie Darko. Go wherever you want with it. I suggest using your time travel powers to teach the Lisbon girls all about American history.
