In good news, I have job. Yay! It starts the middle of next month on a new show... and that's all I can say right now. Obviously, once it's underway and I know what the sitch is, I'll pass along the info to you all. It could be the worst show in the history of reality television (which would be saying something) but honestly, I don't care. It's a job, it's employment, and that's all I care about. So, keep your fingers crossed. I won't exhale really until my first paycheck clears. And this honestly comes at a great time. Apparently, the unemployment rate in California is now 10.1%. Yikes. That is scary stuff. That's not good news. The state finally got around to getting a budget signed, trying to close up a $42 billion shortfall. Couple massive cuts with lots of unemployment in the Golden State equals a not terribly pleasant situation. So, again, very, very happy I have a job.
In the surreal portion of living here, at Trader Joe's in Eagle Rock today, I saw Colin Ferguson, the lead on SciFi's Eureka. Like most TV actors, he's shorter than I figured (which means, shorter than me), but still very handsome in person. I kept a very respectful distance, and geeked out quietly to myself. I've lived here for almost 10 years now, and seeing celebrities are still neat for me. I keep my distance, I don't say anything, I am respectful, but I can't help looking. It reminds me that I hope to be that person that one day, in someone's blog, they can write "Hey, I saw that funny Jon guy at the Trader Joe's. He's a bit shorter in person, but it was cool seeing him nonetheless." Now, like the rest of us out here in La-La Land, I just have to weather through this financial crapstorm first. Yikes.
So, what you're saying is... Colin "Dreamboat" Ferguson's not the 6'2" his IMDb profile states? What, IMDb is INACCURATE?!?! Impossible!
Congrats on the gig, can't wait to hear about it.
