i climb out of the hole and back to earth

yeah i've kinda been really busy and really not busy all at once. I just realised its been 3 weeks since I was on here, that's really bad.

What's been happening in my world ...? I went to Foo Fighters last week!!! They were awesome! Although I'd like to be taller so I can see properly, but oh well.

Aside from that, a lot has happened on the job front ...
I'm no longer at first mobile selling mobile phones, I finished there the other day, so now I have to pay my own phone bills, haha. I'm now working for Rubicon Films and the Disney Channel on a new disney channel movie that's filming here in January. My job is Producers Assist, which means I liase directly with the producer, the director, and the american exec producer when he comes over. Its an awesome opportunity!!! Nice to have a feature film that pays me, unlike the last two that I did for experience, and these guys even apologised heaps for the low pay, low budget etc, but I'm getting almost twice what I was getting in my 4 day a week job at first mobile, so I'm happy :-) Low budget crap pay for Disney is rather nice in my books, can't wait for a film that pays "normal rates" !
The film is called "Wendy Wu : Homecoming Warrior" ... its a wierd title ay, but the script looks pretty good.

I'm working on the film til mid march, the driving of at least an hour to work in the morning isn't fun, but no point moving house when its only a few months. Plus its kinda fun listening to cds, and even starting to learn Afrikaans (south african native language) by listening to cds on the way. Its only part of it, cos I've got to learn the basics before that cd makes sense, but listening to it helps me pick up things. So at least I'm using my time constructively :-)

I'll still be doing the odd bits and pieces of promo work in between, and trying to get some music video experience on my weekends.

I'm going away for Christmas, to Ashburton (in the south island for you foreigners). Mum and my brother Dave are driving and catching the ferry, and I'm flying down (cos i finish work too late to go with them). So I'll be down there from a couple of days before christmas, til a few days after probably. Need to book flights soon!

Time for bed. I'm a bit of a nana as far as bedtime goes at the moment, my new job hours are really taking it out of me! Plus I have a work party for Screentime (the company I do police ten 7 for) tomorrow ... gonna be a good nite!
