Well I never really left. Well I did, but not really. Ok wait. I'm already confused. Let's start this again...
I made it to New Orleans! Believe me, there were many times where it did not seem like this was ever going to happen. I'm still not completely convinced that it did. I'm afraid I'm going to wake up on my futon in my tiny studio back in Van Nuys any second now. I better enjoy this while it last. If this is a dream, that means I can do what I want. Quick, send me Scarlett Johansson!
....Dammit. It didn't work.......I mean....Yay! It didn't work!
Quick recap. For those who don't already know, and I can't imagine that there's anyone who doesn't at this point, back in July I accepted an Associate Producer position at Bellum Entertainment for their brand new show, It Takes A Killer. The catch was that accepting the position required me to relocate to New Orleans. So here I am!
The move was a bitch. Made my move to LA seem like shooting fish in a barrel with a rocket launcher. 4 weeks of moving prep, 1 week of packing, 41 hour drive from LA to STL, 3 more days of packing, 12 drive from STL to NOLA, and countless trips to Walmart just to finally be able to say I'm a NOLA resident.
And I'm fucking tired.
In case anyone was wondering, I stopped posting a couple months ago because I no longer had anything to say. There was nothing left in my head. All I could do was go through the motions everyday and hope that things would start looking up soon. Then one day during a power outage, an email came through on my phone from the website Staff Me Up. This site is notorious for sending junk mail on a weekly basis, so I almost deleted it. For whatever reason, I opened the email, and saw that a job I had applied for months earlier still hadn't been filled. I was asked if I was still interested, even though it would mean having to relocate. Needless to say, I was still interested, and after several more emails, phone calls, and a writing audition, I found myself accepting the biggest job of my life.
I'm still not sure any of this is real, and I'm terrified of the idea that this might all fall through. But I guess, until it does, I will just have to enjoy it while it lasts, and wait for Scarlett Johansson to arrive.
