So I've gotten experimental

Surprise, eh? I've realized how much I miss my weird indy flicks all the time and have gone on a massive internet binge for crazy media. And I've decided that although I want to study photography, I want to minor in film. I found a college down here that has a Photography/Film/Video course, but I can't start until next school year in February. So I'm going to go ahead and apply there and see how it goes. It's far cooler than MDS where my only photo option is in the graphic design program. I'm basically going to apply for heaps of universities for next school year in the coming weeks and figure it out like that.

But in the meantime, here's a video you all might enjoy. It's called Egg and it's an animated short by Benh Zeitlin. I saw it at the St Louis International Film Fest a couple years back and I remember thinking 'Holy shit! That's amazing!' and then I found out they put it on MySpace. But it doesn't have many views so here's me doing my part. Check it out.

Employment, Round 2

So I've spent the past couple weeks sending out heaps of applications and fun things like that and tomorrow it sounds like I'm actually getting a job. Not only does the company have a cool name, not only is it located 10 minutes up the road, but it's still in advertising. Yay! I'll post more about that tomorrow after the interview when I've figured out exactly what's included in that job.

I've also made a strict budget I have to follow. It's gonna be weird. I suck at keeping track of money so it's a good thing, though. I also sent my application into Media Design School this morning so I should hear back soon and start sorting all that out. I need 2 people to write letters of recommendation. Not quite sure who I'm gonna have write them up. I know I'm going to get one from someone at Poz but I don't know about the other one. Maybe I'll get em both from there.

I also have some saving goals, including concerts, iPod speakers, actually having a savings account, and a break dancing midget for my birthday party. Because all of that sounds pretty sweet instead of living off not much. So hopefully this job works out and I'll be all squared away. I dunno why but today seemed like a good day to organize and get my life started. Weird.
