Hey there, buckaroos! What's happening in your neck of the West?

Gray day up here in the Dena that has been completely thrown off from the midnight showing of Harry Potter last night. Some updates:

• Internship: First day went well. Nerve-racking but successful. It looks like phone duties will be a primary responsibility and my anxiety level could not be higher. I hate phones but I have to remind myself that I am able to manipulate far more complicated machinery in other fields. Phones are easy. I also got to throw in some creative input and listen in on a writer’s pitch. Phones are easy. Phones are easy….
• Improv: Wrapped up Basic at The Groundlings on Monday. At the end of class I met with our teacher and was moved onto Intermediate. Whoot! The next level focuses almost exclusively on character development which I am quite found of. Yay improv!
• Job: Still at the Fruit Company. My feelings of anxiety have subsided and I have settled into a nice groove over there. Can’t get too comfortable though…
• Writing: Mixed results. My blog writing has exploded this month due to a promise to write everyday (I’ve failed but been much better) After two attempts, my Community spec script has been tabled for at least a month now. I wrote notes and character descriptions for a TV pilot but have yet to turn it into anything. I’ve got some sketch and standup ideas. I think I need to make another writing promise…
• Acting: Stalled. I’m taking a commercial class which is actually quite helpful. Trouble is I’m not in the right mentality for it. I know I need fresh headshots but I’m tentative to get more after the subtle failures of my first round. Another thing: most actors I’ve met in non-improv classes are really douchey. Is this normal?
• Movies/TV: Overwhelmed. So many things to watch, so little time. Thank God Les likes this stuff as much as I do.
• Cowboys & Aliens: Fuck. Yes.

That’s all I got for today, dudes.
