Lazy Monday, Wake Up In The Late Afternoon...

Hey kiddies! Not really much to report.

Sunday i acted in a film for Kelsey Navarro. It was about a guy and a girl who ride the elevator to work every day and he tries to talk to her but finds out shes deaf. So it shows their relationship as they make it through the few seconds each day that he tries to talk to her and all the while he practices sign language til the end where he starts a conversation in sign language cuz he knows it at the end....aww cute. I was the guy and Jeremy Navarro's cousin was the girl. After that the Navarro's made us dinner and then we played "LOST: The Board Game" ...it was actually pretty fun despite it taking like 4 hours to play. We literally played it til about 4am....hence the name of my entry today.

I woke up at like 2 pm and did laundry (which i have to pay for now! UGH!) Then i was like im gonna go work out and then swim. But apparently i have to have a card and close toed shoes to work out. They randomly have workers there at the gym to make life difficult...everything is peachy when there is no worker there. So i went and swam and now i don't know what to do.

I neeeeeeed to come up with a video idea tonight! AGGG! i need to do that right now!

JOHN WILLIAMS...

I saw John Williams tonight in concert at the Hollywood Bowl! It was awesome. He played Harry Potter, Star Wars, ET, all sorts of stuff. I was kinda upset cuz he didn't play Back To The Future or Jurassic Park. I kept yelling at JW to play back to the future but he never did. However, it was funny cuz after he was done he walked off stage 4 times and came back out just for more applause! We all thought he was coming out for an encore (cuz he had already like 3 times) but this last time he just would walk off then come back and wave as he walked back to his conductors stand and then walk back off. It was pretty funny but mean at the same time. I am gonna get some pics and videos that others took so you guys can see....Man i need a digital camera.

Work Hard...Play Hard...

Hey everyone. I just got done helping my roommate Brandon with his 3-5 min film. We started at 9 and went till 5. Like a real job! I also was up at 7 am to see my lovely girlfriend Kristi off. She was waking up at 9am to get over to school so in order to see her i had to wake up at 7. So i was dead on my feet seeing her. After that I started moving crap over to our filming location. We worked long and hard and finished! Here is a picture of our crew.



The blonde right below me was the girl thats married to the guy in the way back. She cheats on him with the black guy right in the middle. The guy who's poking his head into the middle is her underling at work and best friend of her husband. He sees them and struggles with telling his friend. Eventually he tells and gets him to forgive her and she gives him a raise. Good stuff.

Here is what i did during a scene.


Yep. I'm pretty much the glue that holds the filming together.

Haha. I really did do things. They were just rehearsing the scene here, so i was just sitting off to the side. Also the characters name in the film is Jeremy...so thats why they say "jeremy, you got the job."

Anyways now that thats over I get to star in Kelsey Navarro's film tomorrow! I'm excited!

But guess what i get to do tonight?! I am going to see John Williams in concert tonight! It's gonna be awesome! Jealous? You should be.

Most Uneventful Day Ever...


Yeah...it was a pretty lonely day too. Jeremy and Kelsey were at their college cuz they needed to get his car (their college is only like 45 min south.) When they got there they realized that they left their keys for that car here. So they had to drive here and back and and here again. Everyone else seemed busy. So i was pretty much just by my self all day! If you know me then you know that drives me crazy! So not the best day.

Also "playing around on the internet" means watching TV shows online. haha. I'm a dork.

Seriously if you have an idea for a short 3-5 minute video please shoot it my way. Thanks

Kristi is leaving for the orient tomorrow! Pray for her! I'll miss you girl!

New Friends...

While I have been here I have developed some new friends that I'm really excited about. They are all really cool and i like them a lot. So i wanted to show you guys all the people that replaced you. Just kidding, no one could ever replace you guys. Here are some of my friends here.

I know i promised this yesterday but the internet failed me so here it is this morning.

This is one of my four roommates. His name is Brandon. I thought he was gonna be a big meat head jock, but he's totally not. He is a really cool guy and kinda introverted but he's really a cool guy. I am his Assistant Director for his short film this weekend.

This is roommate number two. His name is Josh. He is a screenwriter and it kinda quiet and reserved but he's a fun guy. We have had a lot of fun in our room. Him and Brandon are actual roommates in the same room. My roommate is an elusive character and i didn't get a picture of him in time.

These are probably my bestest friends here. This is Jeremy and Kelsey Navarro. They are a married couple movie making team. Jeremy is a screenwriter and Kelsey is in Motion Picture Production. They are super geeks, like me, so we instantly liked each other. I spend a lot of my time in their room. We play smash bros, games, and talk about geeky things. It's pretty much awesome. Also thats Joe in the background reading a book he found called Alien Sex....weird ill get to him in a second.

This is Joe. You can add him to the long list of people who hated me when they 1st met me. He has joined the ranks of Keith, Matt, Becka, ect. ect. Joe didn't like me...number one reason he told me why he didn't like me...my Ripstik. haha! Go figure. He thought i was a show off or something but now we are buddies.

This is Ellen. Her and the girls below I met when they were assigned to my car when we drove up to a tour of the kodak theater. And i am SO glad that they were. Ellen is a graphic designer and she is really cool. She is nice and played hangman with me while I was in a super boring class through text messaging.

This is Maggie (the blonde) and Danielle. I met them along with Ellen. These are the coolest girls here. Maggie likes jack's mannequin and Brand New and stuff and she told me about all these concerts and I am going to go too. Shes pretty crazy and goofy. Danielle i liked immediately when i talked to her. She is not at ALL afraid to tell you how she feels and what she is thinking. She told me i can make any kind of joke and never have to apologize about it if it's a bit dirty or edgy or something. She's really funny too and we have a lot of fun.

This is Mitch. He is married. Sorry ladies. His wife, however, is not here. He drove down with Joe. He's a cool guy and seems to be really goofy. However, I don't know Mitch as well but we will get there. :-)

This is Mike. He is a long time friend of Jeremy And Kelsey. Jeremy used to room with mike back at their school. So they have a funny relationship. Mike is a geek too but more like a nerd. which is funny. I don't know him too well, but i have been spending sometime with him with the Navarro's.



This is a picture that Ellen drew of me. As you can see when we played hangman she gave me the word Faux hawk. Then she drew that on top of it. I even have a little ripstik! haha.

So there you have it. Those are some of my closer friends. I hope you guys are all doing great back home! I miss you all SO much. I can't wait to see you guys at Tay's wedding. Also I am going to go to Vegas with Jeremy and Kelsey thanksgiving break i think. It will be fun!

lata!

Bible mobsters...

well guys. I made my 1st video today. It was terrible because we got to use no postproduction editing. We had to shoot our video in order and then that was it. Just what we shot was our video. We only had 3 hours to come up with an idea about "forgiveness" and then shoot it. So we did the story of the man who owed the king a lot of money but was forgiven and then that guy went and hustled this other dude who owed him like $10. Lifted straight from the bible. Except we used mobsters instead of kings and stuff. It was fun. If i can get it i will post it. Its pretty ridiculous.

Now i have just been working on my script all day. I have to create an about 10 page script about whatever i want. I am writing a dark comedy about 3 morticians who have lost the body of a billionaire who's body has to be on display for a funeral in a matter of hours. So that idea is going pretty well. I have about 4 pages right now and its due tomorrow.

Also for those i just told about this for my blogging purposes....Just ignore the stuff at the beginning... i had to post stuff about a website i was making last semester.

Tomorrow i will post pictures of all my new friends and roommates so that you can see what i am dealing with.

Saturday i get to meet John Williams and Friday i get to be in the audience of a sitcom. Cool stuff is happening. Also friggin Michele Gondry was here the other day and i totally friggin missed it! I was pissed.

Until tomorrow...

So so far i have met Doug Jones (who is the guy who is the faun in Pan's Labyrinth,--look him up on imdb) i have toured the kodak theater, gone to the beach, and met many peoples. Doug Jones told me if I ever changed he would hunt me down and spank me....he was a funny guy. Here is one of his most famous characters...





I miss EVERYONE back home and i cant wait to return to you. I don't really have much today cuz nothing really happened. Ill write day to day to recall the events of the day. Hope you all have a great day!
