It’s all new to me

It’s been a long time coming but here’s another blog post. First of all I’m alive. That’s a good thing. It was a long tough winter with the movie biz in Vancouver being slow after the writers strike and the looming fears of a SAG strike as well. I mostly kept hidden in my office playing my World of Warcraft toon obsessively to level 70, growing my hair and generally feeling pretty disconnected from the real world wondering if things would eve pick up again.

Well they have but not in the way I had expected. I just started a new job with a company called MovieSet™ (Yes, the same company I blogged about below). My title is Film Industry Community Ambassador. I’ll be liaising with producers and eventually studio officials espousing the benefits of the MovieSet™. Hopefully I’ll get to travel and meet some mucky mucks. As well I’ll be assisting with creative marketing ideas and doing some blogging. Cool huh? I think so.

As well, it’s time to buy a new computer as my laptop is near death and my desktop is getting long in the tooth. Seeing as the government of BC saw fit to send $100 for some wacky, I’m sure pre-election, ‘environmental’ benefit I can think of no better time to do it. I’ve order myself this ASUS M51SN-B1 from NCIX. Here’s a recent in depth review of the machine. Looks pretty decent to me.

I even got a haircut and am feeling like a new man.

New beginnings rock.
