young cassavetes

Wow, its been more than a week since I’ve updated. My bad.

Tuesday was an exciting day. It was election day and I worked at PEG for about 11hrs. My first job was to go to all the polls in the city with my coworker and get some interviews. We got two interviews from politicians and they both ended up losing. And I voted for them too! The video we made came out pretty good. The election coverage that PEG did ran from 7pm-11:30 and they showed our 5min video at around 8pm. It was fun 11 hours. Definitely not like a 11hr Sewards shift. That would not be fun. My job during the election was to communicate via aim with the Burlington access station since they were providing an internet video stream to all of the access station across the state. I was also in communication with the hosts in the studio. Through out the night we had some politicians and the editor of the newspaper come in for an interview. During the shoot, Tom and I swore we saw some sort of weird disturbance on the tv screen. We have yet look at the footage. I’ll have to do that soon. We think it was a ghost.

Wednesday I had a Mill River school board meeting. And I acted my monologue. It came out a lot better than I thought it would. I think the class enjoyed it. At least I hope they did.

Thursday I brought my car to Honda because for the past week it was having trouble starting, but of course on that day it starts working properly and the service crew could not find any problems with it either. I talked to my advisor about my classes for next semester and about my senior project. I told him I want to do an improvisational narrative. First he looked at me weirdly but I explained how I plan on doing it and he called me a young cassavetes. Now I have to order that 8 disc John Cassavetes collection. I found it on Amazon for like $70, not bad compared to $120-original price. So now I’m really pumped for my project! Emily and I have been talking regularly and she’s been telling me about some troubles she’s been having with her BF. She seemed pretty sad so I found this little card thingy (as she called it) and gave it to her on Thursday. She said she liked it. Which was what I was hoping for. I went and saw a rehearsal of the CSC production of Can’t Take It With You. It was pretty good.

Friday, today, since I did not have a car on Thursday my dad brought me to school and I stayed overnight in Eric’s dorm room and my mum picked me up today at 10:30ish. I thought I didn’t have acting class because we had to go see a play rehearsal but Corey
(he chews, eww) told me we do. Oh well. He said he would tell the teacher what happened. Hopefully he remembered. When I came to work it started off not too good. First Tom told me I forgot to set up the kitchen for a the Thursday shoot, which was right. I completely blanked. Then Mike told me I shouldn’t have left him a note telling him I was taking days off with my extra time. I guess I though that was ok to do since that’s what we did at sewards but of course PEG is much different. The city library had a book sale today. Got some good books, a vinyl for dad and what look like a really bad movie. Cool. Emily asked me if I could help her with a video project. Something to do with her education class. Haven’t gotten any details yet.

NIN Sunday! 2 more days!
