I give up on this whole tumblr challenge crap. Who has time to update everyday? And for crying out loud if I can't even update everyday about something I'm excited about than I think it's time to throw in the towel. Consider the towel thrown into the laundry bin and on its way to the washer. I'm done.
Anywho, I was inspired to update because my friend Liz, who is making Thailand her home for the next year, has started a blog and I just read it. Therefore I'm updating. And while I consider myself somewhat timid, there is no way in hell, even if I were the bravest person in the world, that I would ever be brave enough to move to Thailand for a year. If you give me a country where I can't even attempt to figure out letters/words/anything, I guarantee I will spend a majority of the time in my hotel room; and have done so on many occasions (see Paris trip when I was 11). Props to her, but I think I'll stick with English.
You know where they speak English? Well, supposedly? Los Angeles, where I've decided to move before the year is out. I am still having a very hard time spitting it out and be forewarned I've discovered that talking about it on a regular basis helps to convince me that I'm really going to be able to do it. Last time I was there I met with the EVP of Post-Production for CBS Films, who has given me the go-ahead to move out there and he claims he will easily be able to get me PA work. Keep your fingers crossed, they're doing the remake of My Fair Lady which is filming on location in London. See now, London for 6 months I can do very easily. My mom and I are heading out at the end of the month to go apartment/living hunting and meet with some contacts. It's amazing, I told my parents that I wanted to move to LA and all these contacts start popping out of the woodwork. For instance, my mother's co-worker's son lives out there, went to TCU, had my favorite professor in the world, and currently works for FOX. I've also heard rumors that a TCU alum owns a bar out there where he airs all of the games. It looks like I might survive after all.
The maid comes tomorrow so I spent most of today, other than working and saying goodbye to Robin who's moving to the armpit (Houston, TX), cleaning. That is one of the biggest mysteries to me. Why does one have to clean for the maid? I say pay them a little extra so that you can leave the house in shambles. It's a win-win for everyone.
And on my last point, I never realized how accustomed I was to winning until TCU lost last weekend. It put a foul taste in my mouth for the upcoming football season. I guess that's what happens when you lost 12 players to the NFL, huh? Oh well, we won yesterday and at least we're not being sued for trying to better ourselves by leaving a conference that's about to self-destruct. Way to overshadow beating us by whining your way to keep A&M around, Baylor. We win. Cowboys lost, in epic form mind you. I still firmly believe that they should have fired Romo and signed Dalton. The Bengals managed to win their game today and the Cowboys have another 0-1 start. Poor Jason Garret. Oh football, how I've missed you.
Go Frogs beat the...whoever Louisiana-Monroe's mascot is. Ah...the Warhawks.
What is it with us playing birds?
Go Frogs beat the Warhawks/Birdies/What have you.
Hop a long little froggy.
