Now what? Cyclical.

I need money so I need to get a job. I can't get a job since I have no "experience" so I have to resort to an internship. I can't get an internship because I need to receive academic credit. Which I don't have since I'm doing part time this semester.

This would mean paying for academic credits with the money I don't have from the inability to get another job due to the no experience because I can't get an internship because I don't have academic credits.

"boop boop boop" - Julia Child w/ her sister (aka me and Kermin)

I like photoshop way too much.

Saw Julie&Julia yesterday w/ Annie, Janice, and a whole ton of old people. It was so adorable. I mean I figured I'd like it because it's cute but it's actually quite positive. You can't leave it w/o feeling warm, fuzzy, and even somewhat inspired. Now I'm feeling the need to have a short term goal like that, something day by day. Or at least try and make some beef bourgignon of my own.

Tons of moving crap around the A/P/A office today. Now I not only have a cabinet but a full room for the media equipment. I know this is their attempt at forcing me to be organized... we'll see how long this keeps up.

Back to Art Direction with Lauren's film. This is going to be quite intense, small town America + scifi creatures. This is my life.

Also, I really want to see Ponyo because it just looks so goddamn cute!

Can I just say that I love Bill Clinton? Always have but due to the epic release mission to free journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee, who could not be proud of this achievement? Not to mention Al Gore's involvement from the beginning (granted he couldn't really do otherwise given his ties/responsibility to Currentv but still, he's got it going on). It's incredible to imagine what they must have felt throughout the ordeal and while four months is way short of the 12 years prescribed, it's a devastatingly long time to be away from family, as is any amount of time in captivity. So major props to Bill and his crew! Now to see what happens next with N. Korea. Here's the story.

Is it wrong that I want to get involved with news media and documentary even more after this story?

Saw Brüno last night w/ Jackie. Well done, though Borat still dominates in satirizing and getting middle America good. Two notes though. 1) poor camera crew, must've taken a huge beating. Who says filmmaking isn't physical? and 2) the stage parents made me cringe more than the animated weinerschnitzel.

And this is why the art director needs to know the camera angle before we dress the set.

And new camera position...

And I haven't been to therapy since coming back from China and have been off medication since leaving for the semester. And for now, I can't believe I'm saying this, I am ok. I think that's really what I needed.
