100 Days.

First, to answer your burning question, did I write 100 pages of script in the month of April? No, as you could expect. I think I wrote 2 pages. Bummer.

Last week, President Obama and I celebrated 100 days at our new jobs. I remember fondly on January 20th as I hurried around Philadelphia's Chinatown to find a television screen and at about 11:55 am, ran into the Greyhound station to see Aretha Franklin's hat and the end of Biden being sworn in. I cheered with everyone else in the station as Barack Hussein Obama was sworn in as the countries first good president in 40 years. I listened to his Inaugural address for a few minutes and then bolted to the Chinatown bus to arrive in New York for my first day at BBC...

So, after 100 days, how am I doing? I miss Philly a lot. Probably not as much now as when I first moved here. But I do miss my friends and a lot of things in Philly. If I were to win the lottery, I'd move back to Philly in a heartbeat and be content with visiting NYC once a month or so. Other then job oppertunities and shows at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, I really don't see anything that New York offers that Philly doesn't, except in Philly it's more convienient and cheaper. But, I'm here to stay as long as I want to keep following this dream of making a stupid TV show one day.

I'm almost ready to say that I would be pretty happy if I never had to ride the New York City subway system ever again in my life. I wouldn't mind doing it maybe twice a week, but every day can be annoying and it takes sooo long from to get to Manhattan from lower Brooklyn. I probably spend a good hour and a half every day on the subway. Plus, they want to raise the month pass from $81 to $104. Ridiculous. And then their ad campaign for this is "For $104 a month, you'd think they'd have a pool and a sauna down there." No. Shut the hell the up. For an extra 23 bucks a month there should be a pool down there. I also heard they are planning on cutting some services because they can't afford them. Ughhh. I wish I could bike to work.

On the other hand, there have been a lot of good and cool things about moving here. I see Jordan at least once a week, which is awesome. We've only gone to the UCB theatre once, but I'm sure we'll be going more often before he leaves. There definitely tons of job oppertunities here for me. I've been pretty swamped lately with work, but if anything ever happened, there are lots of other production companies I could try to work at, where in Philly there wasn't much, and when someone would have a show, there's lots of competition for it.

There are a few people from Bloomsburg here. I've been trying to meet up with them. I haven't seen them in years. But it's hard with my schedule and stuff, I kinda gave up. I should try again. There are so many things to see and do here and I've barely started.
