Escaping the Post-Grad Limbo
shall we take it slowly then?

i seriously am so donzo with applying for jobs. i mean it’s getting to the point where i get pissed off at my craigslist and journalismjobs.com tabs on my bookmarks bar. not to mention the fact that my father sends me mass emails a day reccomending me to apply to jobs in statin island and kew gardens (aka nowhere near me). and it seems no matter what i do, news 12 will not higher me. okay, that’s cool. whatever. but these rejection emails are a bit of a bummer yeah know? well, tomorrow i have that ems outdoor open house and then hopefully i’ll hear back from the rubenstein media assistant position.

since when is instagram considered art?
i mean seriously, someone explain this concept to me.

that moment i’m handed a survey before my interview requesting i change all the spelling mistakes on it. did i mention that i’m probably (sadly) one of the worst spellers despite being a journalist. yes, you are correct. it is quite sad/depressing/pathetic/embarrassing/didn’t even spell embarrassing right.

SONG OF THE DAY: cat people (putting out the fire) by david bowie
yeah, deal with it. it’s from inglorious bastards. but that’s beside the point right now. i thought that today’s (been) and is going pretty swell so far. the interview was decent and now just chillin and thrillin. probs just gonna relax the rest of the night…despite my roomie wanting me to get drunk with her. we’ll see eh?
Colder than the moon
Well, it’s been so long -
so tomorrow i’m leaving my apartment (before 2 pm mind you) and making my way to rockafeller center for a job interview. and no, for the first time, it’s not with nbc. i will not be entering 30 rock and will not be getting the white silly name tag… actually, i will be walking down the street. my interview…well… it’s with a pr company. life’s strange isn’t it? i’m excited for a job aspirations, but i’m still longing for a way to enter a newsroom.

SONG OF THE DAY: imaginary girl by the silver seas
this song has always been special for me. it represents that despite (at times) life can be low, there’s a way to escape it. four years ago today…i did. in college, i had the worst first semester of my freshman year. it was probably the worst i’ve felt in my whole life. however, as second semester rolled around i was determined to change it. so (instead of studying) i surfed fb (shocker) and found this roadtrip political science thing to dc. so on such a whim, i contacted the guy in charge and 24 hours later, i was on the turnpike to washington dc. and, 24 hours after that, i met the very people who took me out of the darkness i was stuck in. the last three and a half months of my freshman year truly lifted me up. i don’t know if it was fate (i.e. the fact i stayed on the exact same floor my mom did at american university when she went forty years prior) or karma, but whatever it was, i am thankful for it. and four years later, these friends i made are no longer in my literal life, but they will always be in my memories. so, here’s to you my imaginary girls.
I was stranded in the middle of the night
I was washed out to sea
Out of the water,
you appear like a dream to me
And I wanna thank you… -
that moment i see my utilities bill and it’s $87. excuse my con-edison. are you trying to be a pain in my rear? not to mention that i don’t have cable or a working microwave or toaster. oh and my head isn’t included in the bill. excuse me?

i know that convo tonight about staying in ny happened, but i’m even more shocked about how blanche i was about it.
why wasn’t i crying? why wasn’t i googling secretarial jobs? why wasn’t i yelling back? am i simply becoming numb or do i whole heartily believe i can get a career here?

officially on a tarantino one-track mindset. been kinda being way to obsessed with him and his movies (thanks a lot django/oscars). rewatched inglorious a ton this week and just downloaded kill bill. and i know i need to stop being so obsessed because i see these weird girls online and it’s kinda freaky how much they’re obsessed with and have the hots for christoph waltz. i mean i think he’s an awesome actor and totally funny (djesus uncrossed anyone?) but it needs to kinda end (at least for me).

SONG OF THE DAY: who did this to you by john legend
okay, it’s time to get back into action! wow, did that sound pretty cheezy. any ways, due to paragonian difficulty, i’m back to the application grind. hopefully this won’t last too long, but we’ll see where everything leads shall we? so far i’ve been rewording resumes and have interviews with american apparel (hipster status i know). but i’m confident that things will work out.
Who did that to you,
Gotta find that fool who did that to you. -
i need to have some sort of 10 step program
because i keep on leaving my tumblr. i’m like an internet-alcohalic. i need to stay on the program. got. get it. good.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: christoph waltz
all crush related jokes and obsesseions aside, christoph waltz really made django unchained for me. waltz definitely delivered in the role. a part where you have to constantly say the “n” word and somehow make slavery comical at the same time takes quite the actor if you ask me (and by tumblr rules you do). king shultz is a complex character and there for you need someone substantial behind him.
quentin tarantino has definitely opened the door for this european actor. i’m excited to see what other works are in store for waltz.

hello everyone, my name is melissa and i’m a film addict
hello, my name is melissa gerson and i am a film addict. i admit, i’ve been dealing with it all of my life. it’s a problem and has truly affected my life- relationships, family, friends, nights, and even my day to day routine. sometimes, i feel like nothing else exist. it’s hooking me in and i cannot escape it. so, as this weekend is the end all for every movie junkie, i’m gonna start doing a daily homage to my favorite actors/movies.

so i’m officially obsessed with yet another movie. it happens when i can’t afford cable. i latch on to a movie. whether it’s good (aka django) or not so good (stick it) i just can’t stop watching it. oh and yes, i did illegally download it (sorry fcc).
yesterday, my life was headed in one direction. today it is headed in another.
