Yes, I'm still alive!

Just ridiculously busy.

So recently, I joined a gym. A very expensive gym. Kind of by accident. (yeah right).

So I've been doing that  (this includes Zumba!)

Also, I've been putting in a lot of extra hours at work. You see, I'm directing this really big video project so I've been working days AND nights.

I really haven't had a lot of time for a life of any kind. At least my health is decent.

If you don't include all the junk food I've been eating. Ugh. At least it's balanced with this new found physical activity.

Peace out! ;)

Future Pondering

I sometimes wonder what is going to happen after my temporary job (insert sad face) is completed.
Of course-I wish it was permanent. I love what I'm doing. For the first time ever, I look forward to going to work. But, alas, it's not. Although, you never know what could change in the meantime...7 months is a long time.

But-what comes after? If there are no job openings in the station, I'm back to square one. But with no job. Do I pick up my stuff and move to another city? I think my experience working with clients, professional writing, etc. might boost my chances of getting hired in a larger market. So, is that what I do? Just pick up and go? Serve tables until the media decides to hire me? Live in a bachelor sized apartment in a grungy Toronto area? Do I live in a small town with the high hopes of getting hired by them? And what happens if no one hires me?

These are all questions that I will sit here and ponder until March.

I consider myself extremely lucky that I have this Creative Writer job. So lucky.

I'll take all the experience I can get.

Start All Over. Refreshed.

A couple of things...

I am so unbelievably busy at my new Creative job-and I am having an absolute blast with it! It's so nice to attend to a job that changes everyday...It really is a lot of fun. Although I am going to miss News when I am done in a week.

Secondly, life has really taken quite the turn for me in the last couple of weeks. I think it has something to do with my recent disposal of commiting to anything but myself.

All in all, I am enjoying the world right now. Something seems so hopeful about it.

You know, I used to have a scene with him.

Once upon a time there was a girl. She had a relatively good life with lots of friends and a loving family. Behind her, she had a college diploma, and a beginner's job in her industry. It was all relatively comforting and even motivating.

Still something in her life was missing.

...A big city where she could make all of her dreams come true! Unfortunately, she has to wait until she has about two years of experience in the industry to land a larger market job.

So for now, instead of having her face and voice recognized by all, she will remain unnoticed behind the camera.

That is all.

Proof that both of my scripts are written. AKA my radio demo script!

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the J-Talk radio show. Jessica Kutok hanging out with you today where I will provide you with the hottest hits, life facts the latest news updates and of course all things Hollywood! Coming up in just a few minutes we have some Taylor Swift for ya, Nickleback, and Lady Gaga. But first, I'm gonna let you know what's goin' on in right here in Canada.

A seventeen year old mother has been charged and arrested with manslaughter after her three week old baby was killed by a Syberian Husky. Police say that the baby had been strapped into a baby seat set on the floor-while her mother and grandmother had stepped outside to have a cigarette. While they were outside, the dog attacked and killed the infant. The teen has said to have been released but is required to follow very strict conditions-including being forbidden to take care of children under 12 years old.

It seems that the secretary general for Amnesty International Canada says that even though stun gun use has been improved here in Canada, there needs to be a strict set of national standards. Alex Neve stated that even though they have seen some very welcome restrictions, what they need is consistency and coherence regarding stun gun use across the country. He also stated that there is a time and place for the use of a taser and even though it can be necessary in criminal situations, it needs to be handled appropriately. That's all for news-entertainment is next.

It has been recently reported that Heidi and Spencer have filed for a legal seperation. According to reports, the seperation is due to "irreconciable differences". Heidi will be staying with a member from The Hills' earlier seasons, Jen Bunny. One thing us Hill's fans know for sure, is that Heidi and Spencer love publicity which leaves us asking, is this just another publicity stunt?

After only a few short weeks of wearing a SCRAM anklet because of more legal issues regarding drugs and alcohol, Lindsay Lohan's anklet had been set off. The judge must contact the SCRAM company to see if she had any alcohol in her system or if it was just a malfunction of the anklet. Lindsay Lohan denies the anklet had been set off in the first place.

And that's all for your entertainment news, I'm Jessica Kutok.

Taylor Swift begins and fades out quickly.

Welcome back. Jessica here with you...

J-Talk Entertainment Script


(Intro:)

This week on J-Talk:

Heidi and Spencer have filed for a legal seperation-but is it just another publicity stunt?

and

Sandra Bullock wins the Generational Award at the MTV Movie Awards.

Don't go away, we have all this and more hot headlines here on J-Talk.


(Live Show:)

Hello everyone! Welcome to today's exciting edition of J-Talk. I'm your host, Jessica Kutok. Now today, I have a fascinating show for you viewers out there... We have some scandalous stuff for you guys as well as some heartfelt news and don't forget about our always exciting "Celebrity Seconds" section of the show-where I will give you short pieces of information on all things Hollywood!!

Now to start off, I'd really like to talk about the always exciting-always scandalous--Heidi and Spencer Pratt. Now for all you "Hills" fans out there, you probably noticed that Heidi and Spencer seem to have disappeared from the show for the past few episodes. More on that in just a minute but first-according to US Magazine, Heidi has actually filed for a legal seperation from Spencer and will alledgely be moving in with a member from the show's earlier seasons- Jen Bunny. Although, you have to wonder-is this just another publicity stunt to get their faces back on the Hills after being isolated from the show's infamous cast and back into the limelight? Unfortunately, there is no real way of knowing...but I guess time will be the one to answer that question for us.

Moving onto the MTV Movie Awards-Sandra Bullock took home this year's Generational Award-for her amazing movies, great role model status, and her overall courage and strength she must face in her everyday life. Having recently found out that her husband was having an affair, Sandra Bullock remains stable and grateful for the good things that have happened in her life-including her adopted child that was recently brought out into the public for the first time as well as her successful movie career. I think it's safe to say that Sandra Bullock definitely deserved the Generational Award along with great role model status for anyone facing difficult times in their lives.

And that's all for today's major headlines and now we're going to look at Celebrity Seconds.

According to Us Magazine, Glee's Lea Michele apparently acts like she is better than the rest of the cast-much like her character on the Fox hit show. Given her former Broadway background-an insider says, "But the thing is-she legitimately is."

It seems that Kelly Preston and John Travolta are more than happy about their recent pregnancy news-admitting that ever since their late son, Jett, died of a seizure. It was revealed that the celebrity couple was surprised even though they had been trying for a baby.

After only a few short weeks of wearing a "SCRAM" anklet after more legal issues involving drugs and alcohol, Lindsay Lohan's anklet alledgely shut off. The judge will need to contact the SCRAM company to check in on her blood alcohol level during this time or if it was just a simple malfunction of the bracelet.


And that is all the time I have for you today on J-Talk. Join me next time for more hot headlines.

New Job

So, I've been at my new job as a camera-"wom"an for 2 weeks now.
I work about 5 days a week until midnight each night. It's not too fun.
Good thing I love the job otherwise I would probably hate my life.
Regardless, I am really lucky to have gotten this job because it is going to look so good on my resume and hopefully will make me more qualified to work in Toronto <3.

Other than that my life is not very exciting lately. I work every night and lay in my bed everyday. The most exciting part of my life is the Vampire Diaries Finale. So intense.

Quote of the day: "Like one time i was so lazy after work that i literally just slept in my work uniform"

Wasting 7 Minutes of Time.

In one more day, I will no longer be working 8:30-5:00 pm. Although, I will be working two part time jobs: One at the legendary Shoppers Drug Mart and second at DOUGALL MEDIA in TV Production!! I'm extremely excited because a) I have a job in the industry b) I'll get to learn more about what it takes to be behind the scenes.

On another note, last night I was finally able to see the group of friends I have been neglecting. I told myself I would leave the house party at 11 pm but I ended up staying until about 12. It was fun. I missed all of their smiling faces... I also promised them that when my placement is done, I will definitely be redeeming myself with Mojito's (something that tastes surprisingly like Lebanese salad), laughs and absolutely NO yawns :).

Thirdly, this weekend is going to be eventful yet again. Friday (if the plan follows through) I think me and some of the girls are going to be having an old-fashioned sleepover with NO alcohol permitted. And then Saturday I work until ten but then after a friend is coming into town, so I believe we're going to the bar (which I have decided I will not be drinking...unless of course my mind changes, but who knows?), and then Sunday is the Kids Help Phone walk with my family. But, on the bright side, I will not be waking up at 7:30 any of these days. So that is a definite plus.

And now for the most exciting news of all, Vampire Diaries. Tonight. 8pm. Be there.
