Crew List

It’s been…oh lord…almost a month since I last worked. To be honest at first not working was kind of nice because I was burnt out and I thought well I’ve probably only got a week before I find a job so I’ll get tons of things accomplished. Three weeks later I’m soo bored and quickly going broke. For most they could survive a month or two on unemployment but I have a huge rent payment and cobra insurance payment which takes more than unemployment gives me. Plus I’m trying to save to pay for school so the money is quickly dwindling. This is my first week that I’m starting to fee panic’d. I tried to avoid sending out the “I need a job emails” but resorted to that last week. Most ppl I know didn’t even bother to reply. Bastards. Next we move to facebook and try individual emails to those I sort of keep in contact w/ and mass email to those I never speak to until unemployed. Nice, I know.

But it’s about who you know out here and honestly everyone is too busy to keep up w/ everyone so we all do this shameless act of begging for work. I hate it but I need to work and I need to work NOW. My sanity and rent payment rely on my working. And I’m applying to jobs online but we all know that almost never works but I’m still trying and I”m not being picky either. I’ll take anything that pays. Shameless.

But since I have all this time on my hands I get to post blogs! yeah for the 2.5 readers of this thing. Today’s fun activity was to clean out my dresser drawers and I did donate more to Goodwill plus decided to take 4 address books and make them into one. While doing so I found some pretty funny items. First a crew list from college in which I’m listed as the director and the two heavy hitters from school are my camera assists? Um WTF? I have no idea who made such a list and if it was ever actually carried out. WAIT. ohh it just hit me. This was for my long lost thesis film before it crashed and burned. Thank you D. for pulling out and fucking that all up. Oh well saved me $4k. Second funny item is a list of “clubs” we were going to visit while interns in 2001. Oh man. All but 2 places are gone now and it’s an awful list. All tourist trap places I wouldn’t be caught dead in now. Here we go:
1. Key Club – only exsisting spot left.
2. Tiki Lounge – Wait, this place might still be there.
3. Deep – Nope. Turned into something then burned down
4. Frolic Room – :/
5. The Opium Den – WTF?
6. The Mix – I think this might be The Ivar now
7. Blue – ????
8. Space 6507 – Um…it was on sunset….
9. The Century Club
10. Florentine Gardens – Ok this place we went and can we say GHETTO? Metal detectors. ‘Nuff said.
