UNION! UNION!

Wow, no updates for a month? I AM TERRIBLE. But I'm updating now, so it's okay. I just got home from the IATSE set etiquette course over the weekend. I am now a permit with IATSE Local 873! IATSE is the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, which means I can now (hopefully) start getting work on union film gigs doing work in wardrobe. Then eventually I can apply for membership. SO EXCITING. It makes me feel like I'm some sort of half-adult with some figments of responsibility.
Things have been pretty busy! I'm done with the Feature in Collingwood. This month I also helped Nina with some contract work for the Toronto International Film Festival. She really is the nicest lady and so incredibly helpful. It's great to meet people who are so passionate about helping out little underlings like myself. Then last week, I was on a shoot with a costume designer by the name of Nicole Nader, another awesome lady, for a Canadian band 'The Trews'. Right now I'm waiting for my part-time job to get back to me, because I got an offer for work on a feature in Hamilton, and I need to book that time off in order to go on location. With Megan, a fellow Ryerson grad! Who is great!
Me and Trevor are vigorourly continuing the apartment hunt.. And by me and Trevor, I mean me. Mainly because he works full-time, I'm more of a freelancer so I have a bit more spare time. Also, I'm incredibly thorough so I am good at this searching, detail-oriented stuff. We saw a beautiful apartment earlier this week so we're waiting on a call for that place. FINGERS CROSSED


In OTHER news, I want this so desperately. It's a new figure by Ashley Wood, sold at the Magic Pony in Toronto. (Go to the Magic Pony - Go amazing.) I keep wanting to go drop some of my dollars on it but I'm SO FRUGAL it hurts. But robots are so awesome. CONFLICT!
Anyway - I can't think of much to say. Probably because I'm exhausted? I've only gotten a few hours of sleep every night this week so.. That is bad.
