Wow, I haven't updated in a little while. Here's some updates.
1. I saw Hugh Laurie at the Gas Station the other day when I was filling up. (He's the star of House, for those of you that don't know). We talked for a few minutes while we pumped our gas, and I got an autograph from him for myself and one for my friend Laura who is a die hard Hugh Laurie fan.
2. My new part time gig working at the Flower Shop as a delivery driver is going well so far. I have had some very interesting deliveries that include (but are not limited to) FOX Studios and numerous funeral homes.... I think I am going to have alot of script ideas for TV shows come up while working this job.
Not a whole lot going on beisdes that, really. I've just been swamped latley searching for new jobs and starting new jobs...but it looks like things are finally turning around in a nice direction. Fingers crossed, things will continue to work well :) More to come soon!

Cooking
You would think that after 2 years I would catch on and figure out how to cook some simple foods. Sadly, I'm Kyle Olson and that dosen't happen so easily.
Tonight I was cooking mac and cheese.
Problem: Upon draining the noodles in the sink, I realized I didn't have any milk.
Reaction: "SHIT!"
Logical Thought: "Well, butter is made of part milk....I'll just triple the amount of butter!"
Final Result: Horrible tasting mac and cheese

Time for Connections
Greetings, Everyone.
So, in case you haven't heard latley...the California economy is in the dump. The entertainment industry is in a freeze, more/less, and nobody is quite sure where things are heading. Milk is upwards to $7.00/gallon. Gas is $3.00/gallon. The timing couldn't be worse to be in California OR to find a way into the entertainment industry.
Earlier this week I lost a job that I was pretty excited about and was planning on using to save up some serious money for the next two weeks. (It was a job teaching film to forgein exchange students that I told alot of you about when I was home). Basically, I arrived to work one morning to find the entire place shutdown. They declared bankruptcy.
So, once again I am out and searching for a job. To be honest, it is getting a little old and tiring. Who knows? Everything does happen for a reason and perhaps I will be thrilled later on when I find out some positive news, but for right now...I need to find a job, and I need to find a new plan.
As much as I love California, and as much as I don't want to leave, I am looking at expanding my horizons and exploring other places right now. Since the industry is frozen right now, and the economy in this state is worse than anywhere else in the world...I want to explore other places, gain more experience, and come back when the state, industry, and maybe even my school are back to normal.
This is where I need your help. I know I have tons of people reading my blog.
--If you have any thoughts or ideas of where I should look for jobs (anywhere nationwide!), please let me know.
--If you HAVE a job for me...slideshows, VHS to DVD transfers, you name it....please let me know! I could use the business!
--If you have any connections in the entertainment world...whether in WI, CA, or throughout the country, please let me know!
I am looking at Omaha, Nebraska as a possible area of work for my future. While many of you may laugh, there is a lot of room for growth there. More importantly, there is a huge NEED for people in the entertainment world there. Why? Because nobody wants to work in the 'middle of nowhere' on movies, tv shows, etc. Everyone would rather be in California or New York. Furthermore, Omaha's cost of living is CHEAPPPPP compared to California (and even compared to many other places!).
If you have any thoughts, any bits of help, any connections you may know about....PLEASE let me know. I am tired of California and I am ready to move on. I am looking at the entire nation and seeing where I would be benefit most from moving to. If you have anything, I'd love to hear from you.

Obama visits NBC
Sorry for the lack of updates. I was home for about a week (as most of you know) helping with GREASE at South Milwaukee High School. Since arriving back home, things have been busy to say the least. Here's an exciting update, though!
President Barack Obama made history today becoming the fist sitting President to visit a late night talk show. Later this evening, his appearance on "The Tonight Show" will air for the entire nation to see. I happened to make my way down near NBC today to grab some pictures. Needless to say, I got lucky.
In case you couldn't see in the one picture; here's the same thing blown up...
