Status Update

OK, so here's what has been happening in my world recently.

I've now delved head-first into the world of the "Paid Audience Member."  Game show fans across the country were not pleased when the new CBS version of Pyramid was turned down for the Julie Chen-helmed talk show, The Talk.  Since the show premieres on Monday (10/18), they have been doing test shows at CBS Radford in Studio City.  None of the f@nb0is are going to like me when I say...

The Talk is actually enjoyable.

Granted, we've received $10 for each day we've been to a taping, but the show is actually worth watching.  I even won a $5 Starbucks gift card yesterday.

Anyway, as for the job hunt.  I've now put in 90 applications, and have chalked up an additional interview, bringing that total up to FOUR (yes, a number so low, I can type it out in word form).  Yesterday's interview was with L.A. Sports Marketing.  They have contracts with all major sports teams in the area, and do promotions and giveaways at the home games.  I told the interviewer that was right up my street, and I would love to do it.  Here's hoping I get in for the next two interviews, then get the job.

Tomorrow, our production company, "Ineligible Productions", has our first serious business meeting.  Hopefully we can get the ball rolling on that end as well.  We have solid formats that we need to tinker, then get on tape and post online.  We just need everyone on the same page.

That's all for now, folks.  I'll check back in later!
