I have absolutely nothing interesting to say, but I feel like I need to get into the routine of updating daily. I have lost all motivation to do anything... and if I want to be a writer I need to fucking write

I fear that I am becoming borderline agorophobic. I thought it was just laziness that prevented me from leaving the house, but then...

I didn't get the fucking job. I can't believe it. I was up for writer's assistant for "Penn & Teller's Bullshit" and they went with someone they had worked with before. I am so fucking upset. I feel like I am going to vomit. I don't know what the hell I'm going to do now

Edited to add:

Well, I did get sick... I ate...

Life is so boring when unemployed. I think that I developed Stockholm Syndrome with regard to the Bahamas. On the one hand, I resented it for holding me hostage, but now that I am home I miss the employment... the reason to get out of bed in the morning.

I am script supervisor on a short 35mm film this weekend. It sucks. It is SO...

I'm home, I'm home, I'm home! It feels so good to be back in the city... the traffic, the pollution, the commerce....

Some things that I learned about myself on this trip:

1. It won't kill me to be away from home and my fiance for 3 weeks. Sometimes it comes close, but it won't kill me. It helps when you forge a friendship with...

Sitting around waiting for my 7.50 am flight tomorrow. My "crew" is gone (my mom loves that I refer to the P&T Vegas crew as my crew... but don't tell them about that ok?)... there are some people still left to hang out with... but I am just back to being grouchy and depressed. I really wanna go home, though as soon as I leave...

Another day, another update.

Today was a down day - no filming,a nd supposed to be no work at all (but when you are working production, you NEVER have a truly off day).

I had made vague plans to hang out with Penn & co. today, but nothing solid. i went into the production office early to check email and take care of our Fedex...

Hmmm... SG is slowly becoming my production journal.

I totally missed the boat today. Literally. we shot underwater in the middle of the ocean (ok, not the middle - a few hundred yards off from the dock) and I missed the boat. They rought me out on a shuttle, so no biggie. I spent the whole day on the water and did NOT get seasick!...

Another mind-melting day... seriously, I got back after dinner and I couldn't remember what we shot today.

We shot on the dock, in the sun... I was remarkably unburned... just lightly toasted. Lots of boring shit shot.

Wrapped early, went back to the hotel. went for a swim in the ocean, first time on this trip. I got in up to my calves before I...

Ah yes... another good day. Well it ended well, at least.

The shoot was long, and hot. I got a touch of sunburn at the top of my forehead. As usual, I had nothing to do for most of the day. We finally got to shooting our big trick of the day... that went over by 2 hours. There was problems with the props, with...

So yesterday was a pretty awesome day, our down day. I slept in, then planned to go for a swim in the ocean... but the beach was closed (some crap about the tide coming in... yeah, 2 foot swells are scary...). This was my second attempt to go for a swim, and the second time I was thrwarted... so I'm giving up for now.

Instead...
