The big thing you should be aware of by now is also the primary reason for a lack of content on this site. I have been writing, and it’s available for you to see, it’s just not on this site at the moment. That’s because my friend Benn Hadland and I have created a new website, called Lock, Stock, and Two Film Geeks. It’s been going on for a good 3 months now, and we’ve got a ton of content up.  There’s podcasts, reviews, and feature articles.  We’re both really proud of the work we’ve been doing.  I’ve been pushing it pretty hard on my various social profiles, so you’re probably aware of it, but the fact that there was no mention of it here was bugging me.  Please check it out if you haven’t, read some of the reviews, and subscribe to the podcast on iTunes.

So now that I’ve graduated there are some changes in what I’ve been doing in terms of work.  I was laid off from Ritz Camera around the week that I graduated.  In June, I started a part time job with a company called Internet Brands, simply to pay the bills.  Basically I research what search engine keywords are valuable to the company and come up with titles for articles based on these keywords.  Other people have to write and edit these articles.  It’s pretty mindless work but it doesn’t exhaust me from doing some writing on the weekends.  I have been writing a bit more, most of it for Two Film Geeks, but also a bit of work on my novel in progress.  I also left my internship so that I could take on more hours at work without sacrificing the opportunity to write.  I’m still looking for film related work but it’s a tough job market right now.

As always, I’m watching a lot of movies.  A lot of these are for our website but I try and catch up on what’s in theaters and knock off some “list of shame” items as well.  My queue of over 200 movies on Blockbuster never seems to get smaller though, as I’m always adding to it.

And that’s really it for now, it wasn’t really my practice to do these sort of “journal posts,” but I figured some explanation was appropriate.
