Wow, so it's been over a month since my last post.  I've worked on a few movies and whatnot since.  Worked on a music video with the band Velvet Revolver for their new song, "Dirty Little Thing."  I also worked on my first horror feature out in the middle of nowhere, otherwise known as Palmdale.  The footage was cool and all but man, I definitely don't want to go back there again.

However, my biggest news (and some of you know this already) is that I have a girlfriend now (Yay!).  Her name is Reena, and she's actually the girl I mentioned earlier at the dance.  We started out as "Just Friends" for a while and it wasn't until a few weeks ago that we started dating.  I just recently found out that, had I had the courage to ask her out after that dance, we could've been dating much longer now.  Oh well.  Things are going so great now that I feel it was worth the wait.  Well, I've gotta go now, but here are some pictures of her/us to leave you with (assuming I did this thing right.  I've never posted a picture in a blog before).

Ice skating for the first time together.


New Year's Eve party

More to come once I get my photos developed (that's right, I'm old school like that) and scanned.

Okay, so big news today.  I got a paying job!  It's for a TV movie called "Nadine in Date Land" for the Oxygen Network.  Now, before you break out the champagne bottles, it's only for 5 days this week (for the moment...it could change).  BUT, I got the chance to work with Janeane Garofalo!  Okay, maybe not directly with her, since I'm in the Art and Props Departments, but hey.  It's the first time I've worked on something with a celebrity in it, so cut me some slack.

Also, I worked on another movie on Sunday which also happens to have Helena Bonham Carter in it!  However, I didn't see her until I went to pick up my paycheck on Monday, so it wasn't much more than a celebrity sighting since I wasn't actually working on the movie that day, but hey.  Whatever.

God, I probably sound like a spazz to all the film people out there reading this.  Hopefully this whole "ooo...a celebrity!" thing wears off.  Anyways, I gotta get some sleep.  Early call time tomorrow.

I just went dancing for the first time in a long time last night.  I had a blast dancing with this one girl I met recently.  Probably the first person I've met here in LA on my own outside of work friends.  (Sad, isn't it?  After four months...)

On a side note, I'm long overdue for a haircut.  (Earth-shattering news, I know.)  It's been like, two months, so I'll probably get around to it sometime this week.

In other news, I got a 4-day gig last week.  Got $200 out of the deal between my day rate, gas, and equipment rental.  Not wonderful, but hey.  It's something.  Also scored a 1-day gig that will hopefully expand to more days this week.  Waiting on the producer to let me know if he can afford to bring me on.  Cross your fingers.
