Oh, woe is me.
Yaytown. Population: me.
Tomorrow, I start my first real job in LA. I mean, I’ve done some freelancing and temping, and this job I’m doing tomorrow isn’t exactly promising to keep me long term. But it’s a step in the right direction for once.
I’m going to be a production assistant on an Emmy-winning sitcom that—get this—I actually really like. Television has proven to be a hard career nut to crack, and I’m honestly surprised I was able to land work on a show like this in under four months of being in LA. From here, it’s only like 10 years of back-breaking labor until I have a shot at bein’ a real life teevee writer!
And so, to celebrate, here’s a video!
YAY! PUPPIES!
In a way, this mystery bathroom writer has a point.

The real spaghetti cat has been found!
But seriously, I want to drink with this woman.
Best part of the video: “She would like to meet Tiger Woods, David Duvall. She would love to have a meal with Oprah.”
This movie is intriguing to me. On one hand, it looks kind of heavy handed and, uh, ridiculous. On the other, Samuel L. Jackson is usually pretty good in whatever role he chooses. And who knows, maybe it will make a good point about interracial marriage in American society. Ha ha, just kidding we know it won’t.
On a sidenote, my downstairs neighbor stars in the movie as Jackson’s daugther. For real. Bonus points: She’s from Philly and grew up close to where I did.
