[001] First Day Bliss. Only not.
((ooc:This is take 2 on this, since Scribbld ATE my first one, the bitch.))

While I doubt many people will read this, I suppose I should comply with company policy and update it. I'm really not too certain what to say, honestly. I've kept a paper journal since I was a kid, but it's kinda different when other people are supposed to read what you write, I guess. Ah well, introductions should work well enough for now.

I'm Minato Namikaze and I've just started in the Setting and Props department. I'll be working hard to make sure your scenes aren't the generic crap you usually see in porn, but something to add to the...visual experience, I suppose. If you have anything constructive to add about previous sets I'm all ears. Actors, directors, camerapeople, and editors alike, really. Do some props just get in the way? Are some angles made difficult to capture because of the setup but it can't be moved around without disrupting the scene? Extra or less lighting needed? Poorly placed reflective surfaces that either reflect the wrong thing(such as...the crew) or cause glare on the actors, either of which would need to be edited out? Drop me a line and I'll see what I can do to not repeat past mistakes.


Right, so, I'd love to say I had a wonderful first day and my coworkers are such lovely people. However, I hate liars and I'm rather fond of myself, so I'd hate to have any conflict there. Let's just say Murphy's Law had a field day with me today when it came to directions and props. I am so glad to be home and not afraid of getting hit with a used condom anymore you have no idea. And really, checking my ID that many times was far from necessary. I know for a fact that I no longer look like frickin' jailbait. I've come to terms with the fact that I will likely never look my age, but honestly guys. I'm almost certain it was an attempt to simply annoy me. I at least look as old as the rest of you, though I recall being far more mature at your age than you are being. Alas, I will still have my revenge.

Have fun with eye-blinding yellow. ♥ And my apologies to those who were not involved...though I think I rather like this color.


There was one upside to my day, though. Saw this one guy in a business suit walking down the hall near the end of lunch. Didn't get a chance to see the front of him since he walked by so quickly, but I was quite content to continue looking at the back of him as he walked away. Well, until I fell off the wall and onto someone else. Sorry again, miss, if you're reading. I was going to try chasing him down to have a chat, but sadly he was gone by the time I got back up. While I guess most people would look to the actors for eye-candy, but I guess I'm a little more old-fashioned. Plus, the fact that he was wearing a nice suit means he's likely closer to my age than the majority of the people I've met while working on the second floor, which is a definite plus. So thank you, Mr. Business Suit, for being a bright moment in my day.


Hmm. Being rather new in town I'd normally ask what restaurants around here are good, but anybody who's kept reading to this point would probably recommend me poison in revenge for the death of their retinas. Luckily I have a strong stomach. ♥

No sign of Naruto today. ...Though that could be a good thing, given how my day was. I've heard a few stories, though. Not sure how much to believe or not just yet, but I'll keep it stored anyway. Maybe I'll see him at some point tomorrow.

...I still have no idea what I'm going to do. Which terrifies me.

I can give you a list of restaurants. I eat at local shops and not chains, so if you're picky I won't bother.

...I'd be very grateful for that, really. While I won't say I'm a bad cook, I do get sick of my own cooking on occasion.

And I'm not picky in the slightest when it comes to food. I do have my preferences and I don't just choke it all down indiscriminately, but anything edible is fine enough.

If you get tired of your own cooking, you should turn to cook books. It is a old method for discovering new recipes when yours are insufficient. If you prefer a modern method, try the internet.

I will send a list to your phone.

Doesn't care if coworkers have it, but not the rabid fans!

Yeah, about that. But there's also the fact that I get tired of cooking and if I don't care enough about it it doesn't always turn out amazing.

That would be great. E-mail's usually easier, but I'll give you both.

Then that is an issue for self discipline.

I will email you as soon as I finish writing it.

That would suck to have to change his number. D:

Haha, possibly. I don't mind the change of pace going out to eat brings anyway. And it's nice to simply be out around people, whether you're eating with others or by yourself.

Thank you. :)

I don't particularly have a preference. Eating out too much is unhealthy for your body, and your wallet. If you require something today, I recommend the greek restaurant at the corner of *bingo* and *namo* a block away from Feel Good. Or the gyro stand on *spridoinkle*. It looks shady, but is exceptional.
