sorry, placement testing

Wow, Johnny, congrats!

I just broke up with my boyfriend of nearly 3 years. All you guys can have marriage, I'm just gonna hold on to a destructive lifestyle for a little longer. So who wants to party?

Rad: Awesome. Good luck dude.

I want to get back to school really bad, but I can't get my portfolio together and find the time to do all the apps. I did lose my momentum after I went through the whole process in 2007 and then freaked out and fled the country, but I'm thinking Fall of 2011 would be a great time to start back. So I'll hopefully be applying this time next year. I need to do more research, I want options outside my state and my country with this go - round.

By the way I'm back in the states. I'm in ragin cajun swampassland louisiana.

So does that mean I 'popped into your brain' because you asked yourself 'geez, now that i'm single, what sexy young bachelor foreigners do I know?' I'm thinking that's what happened.

where are you living in Louisiana, liss? a friend of mine has been living down there since he moved away from Canada ~10 years ago. i think he's in Shreveport now (or maybe.. Bossier City, more specifically..? i think it was Bossier).

Does Canadian count as foreign, Neil? Well, NOW you're in my brain. Let's go to Cuba, you can actually get a flight for us.

Man, I should have told you earlier, Johnny...I was just in Bossier City/Shreveport for 6 weeks. It. Was. So. Freaking. Boring. Now I've been relocated to Baton Rouge for filming. It's much better, and closer to home (a good thing because my new nephew was due 5 days ago and we are waiting on the phone call).

what filming? you talking about your dad?

some good news and some bad news in here i guess. glad to see everyone is alive and well. congrats a ton johnny!

as for me i'd just like to pay off my student loans asap. working sucks.

oh and just now i made a beer do a flip and it spilled on my carpet.

I'm working in his department, yes. I am working as a special effects production assistant, which basically means I'm doing purchasing. It's pretty interesting...I mean, obviously I never knew completely what went into my dad's job, and now I know every element of various stunts, what product and proportion is necessary to, say, blow up a gas station. I doubt this would ever become a lifetime career, but it's been nice to be paid for a few months, and I'll be here in Baton Rouge until Christmas.

Louisiana offers huge tax incentives to production companies, so the movie industry is booming here (and in New Mexico, too, and a very few others) since California really offers no motivation to stay in Hollywood. This story is actually set in Los Angeles, but nearly 100% of the filming has been done in Shreveport and Baton Rouge.

Michigan has been working on getting the movie industry to come out here, but this state is such a shithole, who knows. Anyway, that's awesome, maybe we'll work together one day ;p
