Update

Hello, again everyone! It’s been a little while since I’ve last updated my blog, but, as many of you know, I have a ‘thing’ against updating my Hollywood blog when I’m....not in Hollywood.

This past week that I was able to spend back home in Milwaukee, WI was a lot of fun. As many of you know, I had the chance to film my film thesis project and potential ‘pitchable pilot’, if I get lucky. I think the shoot was an outstanding sucess and I cannot thank my cast and crew enough for all their help and support. I’ll be uploading pictures in the near future that were taken on set....some are pretty awesome!

Outside of filming, I had a chance when I was back in the dairy land to do some other gigs (thank you craigslist), while also having a chance to hang out with some of my good friends that I still miss like crazy. As usual, it was nice to see everyone again.

My flight home was quite an interesting one. It seems as if every positive action was equally balanced with a negative re-action. Example:

Positive: Our flight from Milwaukee to Minneapolis was shorter than expected!

Negative: We ended up going to a different gate (A-1) because of it. (why is that a negative? see below.)

Positive: We had a much longer layover than expected....a nice chance to relax, use the bathroom, get a snack, shop in their massive mall-thing, and get to the gate.

Negative: The flight going to LAX was going out of gate G-13. FYI: That’s on the other flipping side of the airport.

Positive: We have much longer than expected to get there! And with the trains and such, this will be nothing!

Negative: The trains aren’t working.

Positive: I get to the gate with some time to spare, while still managing to fit in all my layover plans.

Negative: Our flight is having mechanical issues and is delayed.

Negative: The stores all closed so nobody could get things to eat or drink during the delay

Positive: Our flight was changed to a new aircraft! We are able to take off right away! Well....almost.....

Negative: The plane we were switched to was departing from gate A-1.

Story of my freckin’ life...
