I feel very happy and my self esteem points are at an all time high but I'm bummed nobody is there to share it with me. It is nice to be noticed and appreciated now and again. 

 It makes me miss my dog Snoopy. He loved all my stories and pretty much thought I walked on water. Maybe I should consider getting a dog...

It is officially a dark comedy about Gay assassins, Baby sellers, Denny's and much more. Usually the criticism that I get the most about my projects is that my films go in all different directions because my mind has all these ideas. I need to learn how to filter them so that the script is nice, clean, and organized. I have been studying Tarantino and the Coen brothers' films because they are the epitome of funny, dialogue heavy, and extremely well structured scripts.]]> http://jazmoore.webs.com/blog.htm?blogentryid=4431542#topBox http://jazmoore.webs.com/blog.htm?blogentryid=4431542 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 18:49:00 -0100 <![CDATA[Roomate is going crazy]]> http://jazmoore.webs.com/blog.htm?blogentryid=4425210 I am in the dining room right now. I just got back from seeing Benjamin Button (refer to movies section.) My roommate was wearing lingerie when I got home and blasting rihanna. She told me that she misses her boyfriend and proceeded to crack open another bruskey. I counted 6 beer caps on the counter. She went back into her room started playing the blues on her ipod and began talking and laughing to herself. Should I be worried? Just in case I will sleep with a knife next to my bed.

  1. Old Jewish people go to spend their remaining days
  2. Rich people go to live it up
  3. Cubans go to escape Fidel Castro
  4. Walt Disney World originated!
They also have great fast food like Checkers and Steak and Shake. Although Florida really needs to work on its recycling program. It sucks ass. I'll post some of my pics and fun stories tomorrow. G'night all!]]> http://jazmoore.webs.com/blog.htm?blogentryid=4415010#topBox http://jazmoore.webs.com/blog.htm?blogentryid=4415010 Mon, 22 Dec 2008 01:25:00 -0100 <![CDATA[PEEVES]]> http://jazmoore.webs.com/blog.htm?blogentryid=4374614 My roommate is currently blasting that new Taylor Swift song from her room yet again! She just plays it over and over and over. I tell ya if the dishwasher wasn't drowning it out I would be kicking some ass and taking names. Who am I kidding? Jess may be 3 inches shorter but she could take me down in about 2 seconds. She scares me almost as much as the BK guy!  He terrifies me! I'm completely serious. Both of these got me thinking of what I feared and what I had as pet peeves.

PET PEEVES
  • When my mom rocks/rubs her feet against each other while we're watching a movie. I can't concentrate!
  • People who bring babies to the freakin' movie theatre, especially when it's not a family film. For example: a pair of douche bags brought a little baby to the movies at 10:30pm to see Max Payne.
  • When people talk or write with text abbreviations.  Like "OMG" you couldn't sound stupider if you tried.
  • People who relate every topic in conversation to themselves.
  • When someone fails to say "Please" or "Thank you" to anyone else and treats them like a servant. Remember, nobody is forced to do anything for you, so treat everything like a favor.
  • Nay sayers
  • People who drink really loudly.
  • People who fake laugh to kiss ass!
FEARS
  • Outer space/space ships (it's like being in a submarine but worse because you can't merely surface.)
  • Submarines
  • Rollercoasters (Too fast for me thankyou)
  • Burger King Man (Your face is supposed to move! He has the expression of a pedophile getting his mugshot taken!)
  • Sharks and other large sea creatures (They're carnivores, they can swim faster than you and survive underwater!)
  • Mannequins ( I always bump into them or see 'em out of the corner of my eye and mistake them for people. I scare the shit out of myself in the process!)
  • Falling while I ice skate and getting my fingers run over by someone's skate blades
  • Water levels in video games
  • Translucent and/or weirdly colored spiders
  • Centipedes and Millipedes (most are really poisonous. Plus they move all weird)
  • Scorpions
  • Angler Fish
  • Throwing up
  • Fainting (it sucks, I've done it after giving blood.)
  • Riding my bike in heavily crowded areas

Operation "the Office" internship has commenced. 

During script class today we had an alumni speaker (Nate F) who works on the American version of The Office. He was really down to earth and humble. He explained how he managed getting to where he was today just 4 years out of college and the dos and don'ts of television life:

-Food is the major key to pleasing the folks above you
-Always know your place
-Get the job done and add something extra.

This information is priceless! They don't teach real life stuff like this in film school. I'm so lucky to have been able to attend this! Hopefully I will be able to use my new found connections (and old ones I hadn't known I had) to secure myself an internship for the show. Nate seemed very excited when I told him I would take any internship I could get, paid or not. If I need to work as well as intern I can transfer to a Target in CA for a few months. I am gonna start saving my money now! Wish me luck!
RAWRRRR <----  for good measure

I worked the front lanes at Target today. I loathe working as cashier during the holidays. People think you're their slaves. They won't even talk to you or look you in the eyes. It makes me sick to know all the plastic bags these douches are wasting too! Example: A lady once bought a re-usable bag and asked me to put that in a bag!

I'm off to watch Diggle and Hannah play Simpsons chess. I love these guys!

It was about 20 degrees outside, snow was on the ground, and there were blue skies as far as the eye could see. For some odd reason I feel the most beautiful when it is cold out. I think it brings out the non-existent color in my cheeks and makes the fairness of my complexion glow. I can honestly say that in the summer I am not at my best. I do not tan! When the sun bounces off my skin it can cause eye damage, and I'm pretty sure it's visible from space.

On a sad note on my way driving to class I saw a lump in the middle of the road and then an animal running away from it. It was freezing and I was already late for class so I avoided it and went my merry way. My script went well in script class. I drove back home and got out of the car to see if the lump was still there. It was and get this: It was a kitty! The poor thing had a mushed head and crooked neck. S/he was most definitely dead. I was hit with a jolt of guilt. Was I perhaps the one that had crushed the little guy? Or if not, if I had stopped before class and took a look might I have been able to save it? I thought that the most respectful thing I could do at the moment was get it out of the road and put it somewhere safe, possibly bury it. I grabbed my roomie Jess from the house and we scooped up the cat with a shovel. Out of respect S/he was named Spunky. We placed Spunky by our compost and covered him with snow. Unfortunately we couldn't bury old Spunky because the ground is frozen, so Spunky will have to wait for a little grave

This Blog entry is dedicated to Spunky:

 We barely knew ye. You seemed quite fluffy, soft, and  you were probably an excellent companion for whomever you spent your days with. You will be missed!

In fact I am a little disheartened. It is common if not obvious knowledge that I am a gigantic Heroes fan. I had emailed my fellow fan girl Brea Grant (who works on the show) to see if there were available internships.  She was newer and unfamiliar with the process so she just gave a few suggestions and cheered me on. I was pretty thrilled. It felt like this dream was actually possible. 

Well I am a twitter friend with another actor on the show (aptly named Grunny.) I asked him the same question and he told me that there were interns lined up for years. How the hell can they do that?! I do not understand in the least. When the show came out I was a freshman in college. The people who signed up then must have already been established in school as upperclassmen (you cannot be an intern unless you are a junior or above usually.) Does that not mean that they will already be graduates when they get their turn? It's not fair. Heroes should choose their interns seasonally like everybody else. Because of this bogus choice of theirs other people will not get an opportunity to work on such a phenomenal and I bet educational show. 

As per usual I will not let some "rules" hinder my determination. I will call Universal Media studios until either they change their number or I get an internship on Heroes. I hope they're ready!

 So this  weekend and the following week is going to be super busy for me. We are doing the re-shoot for our Eyes wide Shut scene and there are so many more aspects to consider this time around. Multiple shoots on different days. It's difficult being a 2 person crew. We do everything. we schedule, do costumes, set decoration, lights, cinematography,  sound engineering, direct, storyboard, edit, sound edit... I always wonder how professionals do it and then I remember that the average crew is at least 200 people. I think that this is both a good and bad thing. On one hand you have more time to focus on directing (or whatever your specialty is.) On the other you aren't very self-reliant and have way way way less creative control. No thanks. I would rather do it all myself or with a small group of trusted comrades. I am such a Robert Rodriguez groupie it ain't even funny. The man knows how to do it the right way! He has complete creative control, gets to direct his own screenplays, and chooses who he works with. Someday I hope that's me. As R.R wrote in my autograph "Keep At It!" Oh I will sir, I will!

p.s Danny Elfman and Robert Rodriguez and crew are the best composers. they could definitely do the soundtrack to my life if I ever needed one!
