Apt? check

Furniture coming together? check

Car? supposed to come through on Monday (tentative check).

Now all I need is a JOB so I can pay for the apt, the furniture, and the gas for the car. Must. Make. Money. and Want. to. Make. Money. in MarCom. Still applying, still met with silence.

Today I went to WalMart to buy a bunch of essentials (plus found 2 furniture items that I needed and I like them). The nice people at WalMart helped me load the entire car. I chatted with them, with the nice guy cashier, etc. They actually helped me, willingly, at their own suggestion, and loaded all the small bags not just the 2 heavy furniture items.

What I spent at Walmart is actually close to what my rent is. Which means that I spent a lot at WalMart but also that I like my rent price. I went to the apt beforehand to see what all I might need and the place has a great layout and lots of space and tons of windows (I’m on 2nd floor) and light yellow walls. Plus, I can paint whatever I want so I will finally have a dark orange/terracotta wall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway . . . FOR HIRE.

In the meantime, I think tomorrow I’m headed to the beach. Gotta put that beach towel I bought to good use, after all. Plus, having carried super-heavy stuff up the very narrow outdoor metal stairs. . .I need to sit and look at water and read and not do anything else for a few hours.

So far. . . so good. Again, though: NEED JOB!

 

Videos? What videos? 2008, January 29

YouTube sucks major balls. I will be moving my vids to Vimeo. Not a single link on this blog to any of my vids will work because, as I may have mentioned, YouTube sucks major balls and they can go fuck themselves. They likde me when they could pimp out one of my vids to the news media, though. And then they screw me over. What major assholes. Fuck ‘em.

Heath Ledger died.
Looks like an overdose. He was only 28. His baby girl Matilda is only 2.

I gasped when I heard the news and felt immediately sad. He was found face-down and naked with pills strewn around. That is pure sadness. I feel horrible for Michelle and Matilda. Very, very sad. I liked him. I wish it wasn’t true.

Oscar noms 2008, January 22

Filed under: tv or movies — orangeconezone @ 11:13 am

Surprising. LOVE that Ellen Page got nominated and that Juno got attention. Diablo Cody absolutely needs to win that. And holy shit Casey Affleck got a nom, Angie was overlooked and she deserved a nom, and no nom for Sean Penn. Jolie and Penn were robbed.

My predictions:
Cate Blanchett - supporting actress (upset would be Amy Ryan; Cate was AMAZING)
Javier Bardem - supporting actor (if he would lose, i lose my faith in humanity)
Daniel Day Lewis - actor
Marion Cotillard -actress; possible Julie Christie
Picture - No Country for Old Men
Best Director: Coen Brothers OR Julian Schnabel
Orig Screenplay - Juno or Michael Clayton
Adapted - want Atonement; but’ll be No Country for Old Men or There Will Be Blood
Best Foreign - huh? haven’t heard of them. Wha happened to The Orphanage? (2008?)
Best Animated (yuck) -Persepolis or Ratatouille
Best Documentary - it better be SICKO
