Life after SAE and Emperor.

I'm surviving. Its been great so far with finishing my course (grades mailed tomorrow :) yay) and Some film work (student films, Emperor, Shortland st and a Japanese TV commercial) But it's back to real life. Rolling in the mud, trying to grow the bacon :P

I have spent the last week looking for jobs and houses, and time is ticking. (at least the house is tidy :) haha) I have a week to find a house before our lease runs out. Calm and collected, but maybe the panic hasn't set in yet? I saw a house in Onehunga on Tuesday which was nice and reminded me of our old place in Avonhead back in the day, I applied there but I think getting the bond money to them a couple days late might have been a sticking point. (We can't get it till we move out of here as the bond moneys is tied up with unilodge) Back to the drawing board...

I did a job interview yesterday for a CSO in a parking building but I got a call today saying It wasn't to be. I had that feeling yesterday when I saw another 20 CV's before mine upside down on his desk. As well as the 3 belonging to the 3 who were already working there before the takeover reapplying for their jobs...Also a wooden elevator, creaking on its slow rise to the 3rd floor? *chills* I had bad signs from the get go but the interview went well in my opinion and he did ask me if he could keep my file for some casual work in the coming weeks. But my hearts still set on something officey that I can get time off for in the evenings for my training/film endeavors. Because,

"The ultimate cost of something is the amount of life you will exchange for it".

Just finished watching Chuck season 4. Love that show, looking forward to the last and final season coming out on DVD this year sometime I pray.... And I am also using this 'inbetween' time to work on my Chase script. I did a 5 page outline that i shared with Nazim, we're still deciding on duties and even if we will pick this film to do first. I know I can sell the shit out of it but maybe we want something more generic first up? I'm racking my brain for ideas right now.

Trained on Sunday. Just nunchaku. Looking forward to sparring again though, hungry. No more Mr Nice Guy ;)

Then later on Sunday Night I went to the wrap party for Emperor, one of only 5 extras who got to go!! special thanks to those higher up who fought for our invitation, I appreciate it and was great to work with you :) The free Heineken's and food was great and catching up with the other extras and crew while I was there was pitch perfect :) Will be one of my cherished memories as I haven't been shouting over club bass in a long time and so many jokes and reminiscences were shared, cheers to the future, I'm counting on a bright one :)

Blog next week from hopefully a new place. My Internet's cancelled in 2 days. Byebye facebook ;) which is a good thing, spent far too long on it this week, and looking up funny pictures :) Even if I'm a little down on the dollar right now, "The worst bankruptcy is the person who has lost all enthusiasm". Don't be slippin now ;)
