I’m apparently being targetted by Scientologists.

I wrote this email this morning to Senator Murray, who represents my state. I’m posting it here for posterity’s sake.

So they pulled my application for film school. At the 11th hour, an unpaid medical bill from 2002 was reported on my credit report (funny how they waited 5 years to report it, as I would have paid it earlier had I known of it), which dropped my credit score below the threshold needed to qualify for a student loan by myself. Without any means of paying tuition, my attempt to go to the Vancouver Film School has ultimately failed.

But I’m not giving up on my dream. I’m just having to rethink how I’m going to accomplish it. Increasingly, it’s looking like next year I’ll move down to Los Angeles to try to break in there. In the meantime, I’ll have to work on the skills I’d have learned in school and build a demo reel on my own. This is a somewhat daunting task, as I was looking forward to not having budget be as much of an issue, since equipment and expertise would be provided by the school. But I am determined, and while I may not be able to go to film school, I will nevertheless complete my career transition into film.

It is a long road, but one which I am determined to walk.

Has ‘Fight Club’ ever played on TV? I can’t even imagine how cut up it would be.

@Vocino it was actually watching that video last month which made me a firm supporter of his. He really just "gets it".

Just saw a TV ad for feeding starving children in Africa pre-empted by a La-Z-Boy commercial. Irony? Yes, please!

The most curious artistic representations of God are the ones where he’s depicted with male pattern baldness.

Who the hell builds a pirate ship that makes you do platform jumping just to get from one end of the room to the other?

I am subtly disturbed by a spontaneous desire for Kraft dinner.

Obama won Iowa! This year is off to a great start!
