*hangs head in shame for not updating for 3 months...* Hi all. Since it's been so long since I've updated this thing, I'll just give you the quasi-headline news: L.A. = the best time I've had in my entire life ever. We lived down the street from Universal Studios, worked at CBS studio every day, recorded our cues (for 30-piece orchestra) at Capitol Records (THE Capitol-A studio), and worked with/met some A-list Hollywood folks in the film and video game music industry. Oh, and partied. And partied. And partied. And partied some more. And then we partied again. Did I mention we partied our a$$e$ off?? September 5--Woke up with a lump in my neck, and after an anxiety-ridden month finally found out that I don't have anything malignant. I have a birth defect called a branchial cleft cyst. Whoopee. I'm having neck surgery on November 17th to have it removed. Whoopee. At least I got some Tylenol 3 out of the deal (codeine, baby!). A couple months back we had this massive flood that I'm sure all of you know about by now, and my room (in the basement...) was destroyed. My film scores from L.A., my record collection, my comic book collection, and some expensive music textbooks (that I actually still use) were among some of my possessions that were destroyed, and most of my things are still in boxes in the garage or out in my car. I've since moved in with Bobbo in Danville and am actually enjoying myself down here. It's nice to finally not be in school and be able to just work and take care of the house and Bobbo. Jereme moved out so we have a guest room now, and the place is really starting to look nice...so if you want to party or whatever...hint hint.... I have a "job" at GameStop now. I only have a few hours a week right now because they're considering me temp help at first, but after 3 months I will be a normal employee. Oh, and did I mention I get a discount? Did I also mention that that's the main reason I chose to work there? Yeah. Eat it. Speaking of video games, either today or tomorrow I'm sending my demo to the head audio guy at Volition, a video game company in Champaign, IL. I already sent him my resume and they're interested, so hopefully something comes of this in the next 5-6 months. They just finished up a project, so he said that it may be that long before I hear something, but I should at least get an internship or desk job or something out of it. "I hope I get the jobby--I've got my fingers crossed...I've got my fiiiiiinnnngers croooossssssed...." Threw a much needed massive sexy Halloween party this past Saturday in Lincoln at the old party apartment. Let me tell you, we had 6 bands play (4 of which were my good friends' bands) and I think at one point there were at least 60 people there (most of which I knew at least a little bit). Quite a night full of smoking, drinking, and debauchery ;). Makes me want to have another one this weekend.... Hopefully I'll get back to updating this thing more regularly. This is what you get for now. Later doods. |
