Hmm, weird week... I've experienced enough work, so I kinda quit today. I really couldn't be fucked sitting around while people go outside and have a smoke. I had to sit around reading the paper for an hour today waiting for someone to show me around The Examiner (Tasmanian newspaper). So I left in my lunch break, and I'm home now with my new dvds, FLCL 2 and Pirates of the Hard-To-Spell-Place: The Curse of the Black Pearl. You may call that kinda slack (I do), but I have so much to do in the next two weeks, like the Swimming Carnival, homework for EVERY subject, survival camp, AND I have to study and take my learners driver test. So I really couldn't be fucked wasting my life watching computer screens for another 8 hours. Which I guess I'm doing now, but at least I get to actually do stuff. So anyway, onto the experience. I got my story and a photo of me on the front page of the local newspaper (damn). That just sucks. I'm standing next to the principal like we're best friends. The editor edited my story (Funnily enough, that's what editors do), so it sucks now. He made it sound crap. Kinda. So after that I went to the state's major TV station, Southern Cross. It was good and shit, shit because it was boring in some places and good because the hottest news presenter in the world said hello to me. And I got in a commercial for a computer store - this ad producer said he needed someone else and I got the role, I even had a close up. It's better being on tv than being in a local newspaper :D. I nearly lost it filming the ad though, it was pretty damn funny. We had to pretend we were working in an office, and I had to carry stuff around, it looked like we were trying to hide our crop. Heheh. They're gonna send me a tape when it's all edited together. Other funny stuff: I came back from filming the ad, and the weekend weatherman/voice-over guy had just come back from perving on the previously mentioned hot tv presenter chick, cos she was outside in bike shorts (all the office guys had run to the window to check her out, heh). He was saying all this stuff about her, like 'If that wasn't for free you'd pay for it', 'She had her jumper tied around her waist, damn, you couldn't see her ass!' and my all-time favourite, 'I love skanky girls, hell yeah - I wish she'd dress more skankily, I'd like to skank her up a bit'. I nearly fell over, because on TV they're all happy-happy joy-joy at eachother. But he was a real prick, it was the weirdest thing ever. So yeah, that's about it. At the end of the day I was walking out and she walked past me, and she smiled and said hello. Oh yeah. Uh, ahem. So that's the work that I experienced. OK in some places, horrible in others. But at least I got to act in an ad. Cya. |
