so it's been a month since i last posted and that's cuz i've been super busy...working the coolest job ever, but unfortunately for me, it's a temp gig. i work 2 blocks from the beach (of course, i've only been to the beach the first day) in a cool building with creative people... the company creates movie posters, DVD artwork (on the disc and the cover), and ads for tv, cable, film... and not only have i done the normal office manager stuff, i've actually gotten to write copy!!! i can't explain how exciting it is to see something i've written mocked up on a DVD cover or movie poster. whether anything i've written will actually make it to press, well i don't know yet. but it's still neat-o (ha) to see the back of the DVD (30th anniversary of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, for example) and know that i wrote that synopsis. (that example is even more WHOO-HOO b/c Mr. Spielberg is looking at something i wrote. yup, i'm name dropping again, but ya gotta realize that i am just fucking excited as hell, and i'm congratulating myself. hahaha). I would love love love to be hired full time there (at a reasonable pay too), but i don't think they have room for me. i was just temping for a girl on her honeymoon. it's my new goal though, to make a living doing that kind of writing. it's creative and sparks my juices and it's something i can be excited about, rather than just being OK b/c i'm writing SOMETHING. (which of course, anything is better than nothing, but...)
so anyway, that place rocks and i need to work there....
OK, so mr. mcghee and i are heading to alaska tonight for 12 days to absorb some fresh crisp air and surround ourselves with nature instead of concrap. so bloody psyched to go, can't believe the day is finally here. Doing the RV thing, which will make the adventure even more of one... neither of us has ever done an RV trip, nor have we been to Alaska...
Might post from there, might not...
Cheers and I'll have more to say in a couple of weeks...
Thanks for your patience!
Your post will be answered in the order received. It's very important to me, so please don't leave...
ahhh too many customer service things to deal with today...sorry!

Posh Spice

check out this hilarious gossip site : http://thesuperficial.com/
and omg, what happened to Dakota Fanning? she needs to stop growing up, she was sooo adorable, and a damn great little actress. she's looking lanky and awkward as hell at 13...
and lessee...i've decided that i'm completely in love with Suri Cruise. and i fucking HATE that! TC is a fucking crackhead wingnut and katie's become a drone, but damn, that child is ridiculously beautiful. ridiculously. i knew she'd be good looking but damn.i feel like she needs rescuing. ha... brangelina's kid ain't as adorable as she should be... sorry, i read these damn gossip and entertainment mags/sites and constantly see these kids, so it's rather on the top of my mind...thank goodness i have friends out here with tiny little childrens that are super eeeeeeeeeeeee cute and i can play with them...and return them when i'm finished. ha...rent-a-kid... actually, someone mentioned that recently, kind of joking, but kind of not... neither of us has kids, but love them and that we can give them back after babysitting and such. so she said, hey, someone should start a rent-a-kid biz...but i spose parents might not think it's as cool of an idea... and seriously, if any of y'all have kids, this isn't some weird thing and don't be getting all offended and shit.

The Piv
just wanted to let everyone know i came up with a new nickname for Jeremy "the Piv" Piven. there ya go...you heard it here first, so spread it on...thick.
a Hollywood Bowl
eww, this shit looks brownish green but it sure does wack me... went to the fantabulous Hollywood Bowl this week to see, we thought Christian Mc Bride - a jazz stand-up bassist. Turns out it was Jazz at the Movies and McBride was just playing among a whole heap of musicians. actually pretty cool. The Bowl is awesome for myriad reasons, including the gorgeous location (set into a hill, surrounded by trees or something), the sound is pretty kick ass anywhere you sit, AND you can bring whatever you want inside. well, no guns or such, but if you want a whole bottle of Jack and a small bottle of Coke, go right ahead! If you want to bring a 7 course dinner, bust it out. people picnic and drink and boogie to the tunes...or sit and listen peacefully, as the case may be....just watch out for the PeachFuzz who will insist that you not smoke your cigs or whatnot beneath the non-smoking sign, and instead, go "against the concrete wall down there by the bathrooms"... where does that small child get off telling me such things? ha
so i interviewed for a kick ass job this week, researching for a new/old game show...was offered the job and was so fucking excited, yet nerve-wracked b/c i had a pretty major schedule conflict- going out of town for 12 days to Alaska (to be fair to me !! it was only 7 actual working days) - that i hadn't told them about... so when i mentioned this tiny tidbit - and offered to work nights, weekends, and rent a laptop to work up there - they un-offered me the job... can you BELIEVE that they wouldn't let me take 7 days off from a 7 week gig? how fucking DARE they? seriously joking there...i'm completely crushed about the sitch, as i haven't had a decent job in ages and i certainly am NOT in the position to turn work down, but i was pretty sure they wouldn't go for it, b/c really, why would they? that's asking a LOT, and i know that. they were super nice about it, but i'm concerned that they'll remember that in the future and think negatively about me...and yeah, the other thing? well, i had a recommendation from a very highly placed individual at the Fox Reality network, and i'm freaking out hoping that said person isn't pissed about it, well, this person wouldn't be pissed, per se, but to burn that rope bridge wouldn't be a good thing. so now i'm back to hoping the stupid ass temp agencies would get me work, and doing a few hours at a product placement agency (getting her receipts organized, doing expenses and quickbooks. yiipppeeee)... alaska better be worth it (haha of course it will be, but right now, i'm thinking about that).

Fuck, Yes!
First of all.... I see I'm getting gripes for not posting enough. Ha... i said that it might be a while between posts, just til i get into the habit of posting... i have zero discipline for the writing on my own (i.e. without someone paying me/having a deadline), which is part of the reason i haven't written the Great American Comedic Screenplay....
but that's not what this is about...this is about how freakin GIDDY (what a word) I am at the news i just heard...The Verve is back! they're back in the studio recording and i can't fucking believe it... if yer not sure who that is or why it matters...get a fucking clue! ha... yes, it's the band that did Bittersweet Symphony, but they are so very very much more. one of my all-time favorite bands and they broke up shortly after Urban Hymns (CD containing Bittersweet), which was devastating. their singer, richard ashcroft, has released solo cds, which - for the most part- are fine, but new Verve music????? i am grinning like the cheshire cat.... wooooooooo-hooooooooooooo!
coincidentally, the title of this post, Fuck, Yes!, also happens to be the title of one of my favorite books. it's out of print and written by an author using a pseudonym. "Reverend Wing F. Fing MD, PhD, DDS, LLD, DVD, and much, much more" is the listed author...if you can find yourself a copy, by all means - BUY it! or borrow it or whatnot...just read the thing. it's hilarious, but has some enlightening truths as well...also, sex with veggies...i love the book so much that i did a shitpot full of research to find out exactly who the real author is - there are plenty of rumors that Tom Robbins wrote it, but that's incorrect... i managed to locate the guy and contacted him. he was quite impressed by my researching skills and i was ecstatic to actually TALK to this author!!!...now i'm trying to get it made as a movie...too bad i don't know enough peeps in the film biz, but i'm gonna keep trying, just as soon as i get a job...stupid jobs... that is the worst thing about freelance tv production - always looking for new employment... have i already bitched about this?
hmmm...not sure about "proper" blog protocol - am i supposed to post a new post every time i have a new post, er topic?
fuck it...
know what else i hate about the production industry? the absolute FACT (me saying it's a fact makes it so) that the higher up you get, the crazier you must be...OK, i've actually met some higher ups who are cool, intelligent, and sane....but holy crap - some of my bosses have been 8 pins short of a strike...hmm, does that even make sense?... complete nutters...asspods...douche nozzles (although you don't have to be insane to be a douche nozzle).
in about 90 minutes, i am heading off to the house of blues (i got dem spendy ticket blues) on the gorgeous (!!@) Sunset Strip to see another of my top bands - the band from Philthy, PA - the Disco Biscuits! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY... they don't come out here nearly enough...then again, i see way more music here (often with Special Guests) than i would most places, like say, the middle of the country, which btw, should *not* be called the midwest, as it's no where near the west. mid-east is better, but the connotations suck. how about the great cornfield in the middle of the country... hahahah...i'm really not trying to offend anyone who lives there, seriously. whenever i tell peeps i grew up in the Nati, i usually get the -did you grow up on a farm- question. wtf? cincy is an actual city people, not a field of crops and animal crap.... OK, well, people are filing in over here to enjoy a delicious Newcastle before the show. mmmmmm
