A little glimpse,
Hey Blogworld… I know, its been a while, but I’m a lazy, lazy man – yet still so very busy. Here’s the quick down-low of Dirk’s existence.
Another job interview. Yep, finally a potential job came up that I had an inkling of interest in and still paid the bills. I had my first interview on Wednesday, and should find out about the next step next week. I think I did really well, and have a good shot. I am very qualified, and as usual, work really hard on preparing. I just need better pay, and to get out of the department I am in now. We’ll see what happens soon enough.
My show. It’s still moving forward. Slowly. I have one more call to my specialist, a meeting to finalize the episodes, and we are set to sign a contract. We should be ready by the end of January to pitch it to the networks. My production company is planning on pitching to markets in Canada, the U.S. and A, U.K., and Western Europe. That makes up about 100 million possible viewers (that’s how many subscribe), so it’s all getting pretty serious and just a little frightening.
I did manage to squeeze in a little fun as of late, and that’s always good. I had a boys night a few weeks ago and got very nicely baked. Good times. I also managed to come away with a few extra joints so I went and saw Borat. I gotta say that movie is brilliant. It was funny, thoroughly offensive, and a disturbing view into far too many people’s reality. Simply awesome and very highly recommended. Of course, I was high when I saw it, but I think it would still hold up for those who like to see movies sober. I’m just not one of those people.
What am I listening to? Let’s just see. In no particular order:
1) Thunder Road – Bruce Springsteen (a rare demo version, poor recording but amazing)
2) I Don’t Like Mondays – Bob Geldof (solo, piano only from Secret Policeman’s Ball)
3) Sympathy For The Devil – Jane’s Addiction (live acoustic, from album XXX)
4) Castles Made of Sand – Amanda Marshal (live @ MuchMusic, 1996)
5) Medley – Led Zeppelin (bootleg live medley of “For What it’s Worth/Saw Her Standing There)
These are the highlights anyway.
All else is chugging along. Family is good, children are great, life continues.
Another update to follow, at some time, probably.
You stay classy Blogworld.
Until next time,
Dirk
