I got a new hat, scarf, and jacket.
Also, I managed to score a gig writing over at CollegeNews.com, which is a welcome change of pace. I was just approached via email by one of the owners of the site. They said they felt like I’d bring something to the table. Little did they know I suck at everything I set my mind to. Heh.
I decided to get more active in the industry and started contacting PR firms for review copies. Thanks to my effort I’ve been put on a couple dozen lists for upcoming review copies and codes for upcoming releases. Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta.
The web-series Kelsey and I came up with has reentered the early planning stages. I really hope we don’t give up on this. It has so much potential. Right now the working title is “Trip Life”. Personally, I hate it. So that will get changed at some point, but we have more important things to brainstorm right now than names. The basic idea for the series is this:
“Trip Life” is a comical retelling of the way Kelsey and Dustin Triplett met. The series will be shot using various filming techniques such as the internet standard “vlogging” style transitioned together with flashbacks, live action segments, and machinima.
Not sure if it sounds lame or awesome when I explain it to people…
Might revive my ill-fated “TripCast” podcast project with Kelsey as my co-host. If it gets revived I’ll put some actual effort into it this time. You know, topics and guests. I’m not sure what the official state of the CyberSecks podcast is. I guess it’s safe to assume it’s on indefinite hiatus until the other cohosts learn how to handle criticism like the adults they are. Seriously, I’ll never understand how someone quits something that meant something to them over something as stupid as a personal bickering match on Facebook. I feel sorry for their children.
Fuck that noise.
There’s talk that I might be going to Hawaii with the Watkins family for Christmas. Given the fact they just took me to Orlando, I doubt they will be happy to take me somewhere else so soon, but I can’t help get excited over the thought of me and Kelsey in mother-fucking Hawaii! Woo! I might even get over my manly fear of swimming without a shirt on. Nah, I doubt it. My love handles must be contained or the world will fall out of orbit.
All and all life is good right now, and it’s just going to keep getting better.
