MAY
- I produced a book trailer for one of my professors. Check it out here: http://www.crickettrumley.com/?page_id=171
- As a side note, at the time this was supposed to shoot, I got ridiculously sick, the permits and locations were a nightmare and I basically had a mini-breakdown, but...we got it done and both I and the director/author were very pleased.
- I got my first paid industry work in L.A. as an Additional Assistant Director on a TV web series, but I'm not sure when or where it will be aired.
- I got my second paid gig as a script analysis for the International Film Distribution Consultants.
- I flew to Tennessee and surprised my (now Tennessee Vol) cousin for his high school graduation. It was lots of fun with the family and his new puppy.
JUNE
- I took a much needed mini vacation to Florida.
- I applied to the Disney/ABC TV writing program
- (which I literally got into the mail on the deadline with just 10 minutes before the Post Office closed...and I'm really praying that acceptance into this program is the reason why I can't find a full time job. This program is a fully (and well) paid, wonderful opportunity, and VERY competitive; they won't make decisions till November/December and it won't start until January 2012...this is one I'd like MUCH prayer for!)
- I returned to L.A.
- A short thriller/suspense film shot in my house...The production took over my apartment for four days and it looked a hot mess, but I had fun working on it and made some new friends and connections.
- Delaware graduated!
- I went to the golf range for the first time ever...and wasn't as bad as I thought I'd be.
- I celebrated another birthday which fell on Father's Day, and was bitter sweet. But, I treated myself to a two hour hot-stone massage and had a lovely dinner with a dear friend.
- I got invited to an exclusive open house and met and had a conversation with Neicy Nash (former host of Style Network's 'Clean House' show...she was really nice and down to earth.)

JULY
- I saw the first showing of IRIS, Cirque Du Soliel's new show at the Kodak Theater on Hollywood Blvd.
- I produced my last student short
- It's not completely finished yet, but hopefully I'll be able to post a link soon...
- Pretty sure I saw lots of movies...this month's a bit of a blur.
AUGUST
- Mom and the Godparent's visited and we had a great time!
- I got an internship with a local 3D Graphics company in the graphic design department. It's fun, it's close, and I'm learning alot. It's only two days a week but gives me something to do and get out of the house.
- I left the church I'd been attending since coming to L.A. It's a long story, but I feel it was what was best for me, and I pray for the continuance of that ministry.
- I started going to a new church that's about 10 minutes away from my house...still figuring out if its the one for me, but I do like it.
- One of the few friends I've made out here, got a new job in DC and moved away.
SEPTEMBER
- I went to watch an old movie (Rebel Without a Cause) with Delaware and friends in the famed Hollywood Park Cemetery. It's sounds weird and creepy, but it was actually alot of fun! (They do screenings there of all sorts during the summer until the end of September I believe...its on the 'must dos' of Hollywood.)
- I went to a taping of the ELLEN show, and saw a pre screening of the movie 50/50, which was good and the main cast were the guests. I sat by a woman who got to play the game and won $1000.00 gift card from Target! Also saw Maroon 5 perform and received a free CD and Snapple...it was a really fun day, which...if I had a job, I would not have got the chance to attend...(free time is one of the few perks of being unemployed.)
Anywho, stay tuned...it can only get better from here...well, that's what I'm praying for and banking on! Let the new adventures begin.
this is a test
