Pushing Along...

A lot has gone on in the past couple of weeks. From organizing the Halloween Videoblog Festival, to a speaking on a panel at Harvardwood, to the start of my mentorship at IFP/Film Independent, to the Vloggies (we won one for JETSET), to meetings all over the place, to going to NYC because of a death in the family, to editing day and night for various projects, to trying to keep it together... :)

It's about 8:46am and I haven't been to bed yet. Life is a little unbalanced right now. Okay, more than a little. Currently, there is a pile of laundry that needs to be done. The fridge has been emtpy for longer than I care to admit. I haven't had time to exercise in months. And Steve and I are looking like the walking dead - not the greatest look for sunny California.

I don't even have time to make links for the text above. Why can't that just magically happen? Why isn't technology that far advanced yet? I should be able to snap my fingers... or better yet, just blink.

I've also had to get a new laptop. The logic board on the old one got fried. The fans kept on blowing at the oddest times and then finally one day it decided not to turn on. Fucker. I was on deadline too. It wasn't a fun day.

Steve and I are also in the midst of organizing everything at our production company - Smashface Productions. There is a lot to organize and even more to figure out. Did you know you can't get checks at a bank? You have to order them online or on the phone. The bank wouldn't even order them for us. What the hell?

One of my top five most HATED things in the world are automated phone tellers. I'll leave you with that... as I watch the JETSET videos compress.

Talk later. Promise.

*Steve reminded me of the following:

"You forgot to include our server getting hacked and the JETSET website relaunch, among other tidbits...

Oh, yeah, and that little full-time job situation..."

Yeah - so we do need a vacation. We haven't even gone on our honeymoon yet... :(

Is there a sponsor for that? :)
