L.A. (now with photo)
had a good flight down, shannen was great as usual to skip class to drop me off, hard partings. owen was there right on time at the airport, it's good to finally get down here to visit. he's been thinking for a while that if i ever moved down here, he and i would single handedly kick ass and do well in hollywood. part of me misses editing and production a lot, but my other love is spanish, and if i could somehow fuse the two, i'd be into it, but for now for some reason i feel like sticking with the spanish. who knows though.
so i'm sitting in owen's office on the 9th story of some building in hollywood. he's working on a reality show, and is calling companies trying to do product placement. in a way it's neat to see the creation of this stuff, but i was always more interested in the post production, the editing as opposed to the preproduction. plus the whole injecting of advertising into the program is a new concept, more insidious, as if commercials weren't bad enough.
so now that my trip is underway, it has a smoother feeling, my state of mind, better then waiting for it to begin, the time flows around you and you can sorta effect it but you really have to just watch everything real close and try to enjoy.
damn it's smoggy here.
So Owen and i were driving the 30 minute commute to his work from the valley, as everyone calls the san fernando valley, and right as we neared this building, we passed a culver city meat co. truck. check it out!
