June 9th

Nothing too exciting going on here, but I felt I should probably do an update anyway.

This weekend I went to Venice Beach with Greg. We just kinda walked around and caught up. I got a fun necklace, he bought this really cool little painting thing.

Sunday I went to a shoot for Half Day Today (my brothers sketch comedy/ production group). Filming went well, I think the sketch is gonna turn out all kinds of good.

Other then that nothing too exciting going on. At work I've really just been fileing things and doing talent research.

I did have an epic battle with a copy machine yesterday! (I won).

Also since I am off on Fridays I plan to look for extra work to do. I just don't like sitting around doing nothing for 3 days in a row. I tend to drive myself crazy when I do that. Or I just waste my life playing the sims.

Oh! Speaking of the sims! You can play the sims 3 on the iphone (and in about 2 weeks I am getting my brothers old iphone). This means that no one will ever see me again.

... back to doing research (and by research I am TMZ).

Beatles Rockband!!!

Rockband is apart on MTVN (in fact they are actually on our same floor) and today they had a special party promo thing for the Beatles Rockband game. So what it was was 3 rockband stations, 2 with the game that is out now and 1 that was on a main stage thing with Beatles. They only had about 10 Beatles songs to choose from at the thing (It's still being developed). But it was still really REALLY badass. There is 3 part Harmony yo!!!

So I did "Call Me" on the regular rockband and sounded like shit (turns out I actually only know the chorus of that song. I'm gonna work on fixing that). Then I did "I Wanna Hold You Hand" on the Beatles one and I rock the fuck out of that shit. No. Seriously. I got 100%. AND did some of the harmonies (the harmonies are optional/ extra points).

It was SO badass... when that comes out in September I strongly STRONGLY recommend getting it... so that I can come over and play it.

Other then that I just put headshot into alphabetical order and then filed them all day. I am maybe half way through it. It sucks.

Going out tonight.

Good times.

1 week of work

Started work at Vh1 this week. Here's a super exciting update from my week! 

Hurray!

I started work on Monday. It was before the main orientation for all the interns at MTVN and 2 of the girls from my department weren't there, so we didn't really go over anything within my specific department. I shadowed a girl for the first half of the day, then when she left (she was only there a half day) I took over the phones for her and just did "research" (which involved me on TMZ and Perez all day). Then me and another intern spent about an hour trying to figure out how to put together these magazine racks. 

... seriously. They were really confusing. 

The MTVN offices are really cool. They look all kinds of trendy- kinda real worldish... only with cubicals and no hot tub (so probably actually not very real wordly at all). But they still are cool... and trendy and whatnot.

It's also a really relaxed environment. People just kinda yell to each other in the offices and talk about celeb gossip. Not to say it's not professional. It is. It's just chill.

Tuesday was orientation. All of us were put into a conference room room and shown a video of all of the MTVN channels having a BIG party together. YAY!!! Then we drew pictures of what MTVN means to us. We used smelly markers. It was great.

Then or department had our own orientation. After that I was given my first job, which was to do some research on talent (this took all day).

Today I finished up the research from yesterday (it was ALOT). Covered phones again, and organized head shots that had been sitting in a box for a LONG ass time. No really... there were some from 2001. 

Last night I went to a meeting for my brothers new production group thing called "Half Day Today".

Other then that nothing has really been up. I've pretty much just been at the offices and then crashing after. But I have Fridays off- so I might see if I can find any extra work to (if I can find a good car rental place that is close). 

So... yeah. That's y update.

Back in LA

Got to LA yesterday morning. Flew in this time (which is far nicer than driving). Flew over the Grand Canyon, which was really cool.

The flight was uneventful... so was most of the day. Spent it shopping for stuff, setting up my room and whatnot.

Then I went to go see Up with Al and his friend. We saw it at the El Capitan theater (which is the Disney theater located across from the Kodak Theater on Hollywood Blv). They put on a little show before the movie. There was this guy playing a really cool organ, and he was great. The show thing was not so awesome. It was 2 people singing some high school musical songs/ other happy family friendly songs about summer (oh joy). 

The movie itself was fantastic. I loved it. Go see it if you haven't.

Today was pretty chill. Walked to the MTV building to kinda see how long the walk was... went to Ralph's to get coffee. Good times.

Went bowling tonight and had a B-list celebrity sighting! Schuyler Fisk from the movie Orange County was there. I was actually kinda excited because I saw her in Iowa when she was touring with Josh Radin. I have her cd and I really love it. I didn't say hi cause... you know... it's awkward.

It's good to be back.

First day of work tomorrow. 

internship

Ok scratch that... I just got a call saying I got the Vh1 internship.

huh. 

Summer plans?

I applied for an internship with VH1, but as I have yet to hear back (I was suppose to find out if I got it on Friday) I am gonna say I'll most likely be returning to extra work again this summer.

The plus side is that I can try for SAG vouchers this year again and I will get paid (VH1 would be unpaid). I will also get a lot of reading done so any suggestions for books would be appreciated. (NOT Twilight).

... Should be interesting this time around as I will be driving a "rent-a-reck". I am just hoping that the thing won't break down on the 101 or something like that. Good, good times.

I booked my flight today, so I am getting excited. I leave May 30th and come home August 1st. 

blah blah blah

I am done Done DONE with my Warhol paper for biopics class! 

I have also decided it would be a really great idea to make a blog about Andy Warhol and Oscar Wilde. They are friends... it's great.

...oh boredom. What you make me do. 

I am also currently waiting to hear back about a casting internship with VH1. I'm suppose to find out today... but so far nothing. 

Time for food!
