U2 Tour Dates - Now Official! — Page 206

Wow, it took 5 months for the world to see that I am a big dork. Not too bad.

That CD Collection thread sealed it.

Elph, did your DVD of 11/21 finish downloading? How does it look? I think I read somewhere on interference that its pretty good quality! Eeeee!!!

It's already Sunday, and I did not get nearly as much accomplished yesterday and Friday as I should have. Tsk, tsk!

WOOHOO! It's for City Lights Media Group. They're involved in TV (AMC's Movies 101...aka, Inside the Actors Studio w/ a far less obnoxious host!) and film (their first feature with Rosario Dawson is going to be coming out soon). I'll post more about my extremely bizarre interview later! I've got to chow down and do a quick revision of my film final paper before 6! Eeee!!!

Bono-Adam Lip Lock from 11/21!!

FFFFUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKK!!!!! I just got back from class and I had a message from Queer Eye saying that I got the Production Internship there! SH*T! Now what do I do? I'd prefer Queer Eye (because City Lights has produced some really SH*Tty stuff...Their three movies look terrible) BUT City Lights said that they have the potential for hiring after the internship. I've got to call Queer Eye back and see if there's any potential for a job (either there or at Bravo/NBC) after the internship. I don't want to just get dumped after the semester is over and have to muddle through trying to find a job, you know?!? AAAAHHHHH!!! What to do, what to do?!?! And then, I got the Production internship at QE, which even though it sounds like it might be more fun (getting to go on set for filmings), the other Casting one would probably have been more practical, right?! *headdesk*


ETA: I just got off the phone with the guy from Queer Eye and he said that they have great potential for hire after the internship, so Queer Eye it is!!! WHOOOOO!!! He said something about positions that past interns are in now, and that interns that make a good impression have a great shot at being hired, and that the Queer Eye name goes surprisingly far, since everyone has heard of it, blah, blah, blah! Considering potential for hire is fairly even, Carson, Kyan, Thom, Ted, and Jai seem like a much better option than an Inside the Actors Studio knockoff (even if the host is less annoying than Lipton...but really, who isn't?!) and trashy teen horror/sex romps! I've got to think that potential for future employment must be better at Bravo/NBC than the other place that's got 3 TV shows I've never heard of and another that was cancelled shortly after its initial airing (FilmFakers).

*deep sigh*

I'm off. I've actually got another interview in an hour that I didn't nix, because I figured it would be rude to just call up with such short notice to cancel.

YAY! I'm so happy for you! Queer Eye sounds great, especially because there's job potential! It must be such a relief to have an internship that you think you'll enjoy.

I'm off to tutor a 9th grade boy in English. His mom hired me, and the only thing she told me was, "He can't read." I really couldn't draw anything more specific out of her (not even the book he's supposed to be reading now in his English class). Should be interesting! I really have no idea what I'm going to do with him.

Awww, sorry you're sick, Pat! I have a feeling I'm just going to wipe out and get really sick after this semester's done and I'm finally able to wind down. I'm fully prepared for the ickiness of it all!

Nothing much else here, aside from the fun internship news. I got no sleep last night, thanks to Crazy and her Oaf. She came in after midnight to take a 40+ minute shower, than the two of them returned at 3am (and weren't particularly quiet about it) to go to bed. Snoring ensued, which meant very little sleep for me...again! I had a dream that they got up and left in the middle of the night and I woke up all giddy after 4am, leaned over the bunk and shined my cell phone...no dice, they were still there! Didn't fall back asleep until after 5, then the alarm went off at 7:30. Booooo!!!

Oh, and she's still being a psychopath and opening the windows every now and then. It's 25 F*CKING DEGREES OUT!!! She needs to go!

I'm so excited about my little vindictive act of bitchiness that I'm going to do when I leave on Sunday. She always gets bent out of shape when I pull up the venician blinds a couple of inches (so I don't kill myself in the dark climbing onto the top bunk) and she'll spend five minutes getting it back down, bit by little bit. I think it's broken, and it will only go down about 1/2 inch at a time. So, before I leave, I'm putting both blinds all the way up, so she has to put all 6+ feet of it back down 1/2 inch at a time!!!

Yeah, I remember in high school I was supposed to tutor some kid in French, and he totally didn't want to be there. I just wasn't patient enough (or really prepared) to coax a response out of him. It's one thing if a kid is willing to seek out help in a subject, but when they're being forced to have a tutor (by a parent or teacher) I think it takes a hell of a lot of patience and work to get them going. Hopefully he'll come around. How often are you supposed to work with him?

Doesn't appear to be snowing here yet. I was just out getting dinner and it wasn't. I've been scrounging for food all week, because I've decided that I've had enough cooking for the semester. There's not really all that much to eat down here though, so it's been slim pickings! Oh, and I finally killed off the Cadbury bar last night, so I don't know what I'm going to do tonight! I still have Tim Tams, but I'm saving those so my mom can bask in the glory that is the Tim Tam! Hmm...I think I have 4 or so...she only needs one!

Sounds like a pain with that kid. At least it's only 3 more visits. What did his mother say? Does she expect you to miraculously motivate this kid, or is she trying to jump start him too. Hopefully you'll be able to get through to him a bit over the next few weeks.

Hey, congrats to your brother! It's always a reief to have that all sorted out. It's nice that he's got it all set so early. I was still waiting for replys into the spring. Damn Fordham took forever, only to come back and bite me in the ass. Yeah, I'm not bitter.

I'm so excited about food from home. I actually don't have a problem with my own cooking. For the most part it's a lot of the same stuff I have at home (though making due without an oven). I cook a lot at home too...It's more the fact that 4 months in (with only the week reprieve for Thanksgiving) I get awfully sick of eating the same thing for a week. This week is chicken with carrots, rice, and broccoli. This week is spagetti with ground turkey and zuchini...ALL WEEK! By day 4, I'm usually ready to just chuck whatever's left. It's tough cooking for one!...So yeah, I'm beyond excited for some variety! And beef! Mmmm...steak! I eat an awful lot of white meat here, and I'm ready for some steak! Christmas dinner-ROAST BEEF! Mmmm! (We're not big on doing turkey again less than a month after having it for Thanksgiving...though this past year's Thanksgiving dinner was fabu! We just got turkey breasts, rather than the whole bird (it's only the 3 of us, so why bother) and we browned it on the stove top first for a while, then finished it off baking it with carrots and shallots...OMG! I need that interference drool-smiley!)

Anyway, enough food talk. I don't have any food in the apt, so it's just going to get me hungry for nothing.

Talk to you later, and I'll keep you posted about tomorrow.

Awww, I'm so sorry! Sounds like a raw deal...maybe they won't be so horrible though. Or if there are 2 or 3 of them that you get along with you can band together against the Crazies!!!

I got home last night. I stopped off Sunday night to stay at a friend's house and we did our Christmas exchanging. I got a pair of Coldplay tix for Uniondale!!! The not so great part is that the concert's on Monday, and I have a Monday night class w/ a prof who's really picky about people missing class (since we only meet once a week). Hmmm...I wonder if it's during my spring break? I'll have to look into that!

Thanks for the link, Elph. I saw a little blurb on the news Sunday about him being named co-person of the year. Very cool. He was also A&E's Biography of the Year!

Last night was the last show of the Vertigo Tour in the US. I heard they aren't going to be coming back for a stadium leg. They have all the dates booked at the stadiums, but they're going to just cancel them all. Oh, guess there will be one more US show. They're ending the tour with a date in Hawaii.

What's you sub job? What grade/subject. Sounds nice to have something steady for a few weeks!

5th page?! Come on, folks! I'm off to Oklahoma today and I don't think my family there has Internet, so make sure this thread doesn't get lost while I'm gone! Happy Holidays, everyone!

I'm home.

*collapse*

I think I need a vacation from my vacation. Does that make any sense? I'm so exhausted.
