animeartistjoJust realized that the Holmes/Watson modern adaptation pops up in Psych and omg, if Shawn is Sherlock, the Lassiter must be Lestrade.
I, essentially, ship Sherlock Holmes and Lestrade.
Nooo~~~!!!
And yet, I can't handle Gus!Watson because to me, he's the asexual straight man in both meanings!
On an irl note, went to the Spring Internship and Career Fair and out of the 50 people I talked to, only 3 had job openings for an English/Graphic Design major. One of the jobs was a secretarial-type position anyone with a brain could do. All they want are economists, scientists, and engineers!
The only redeeming factor were a few neat freebies I got. XD
Later tonight I saw a free screening of The Cove. It was after an hour's performance by Ernie Haltar (who sounds a lot better than his myspace live songs), who I drew from my spot halfway up the lecture hall while he strummed his guitar and sang. I think I'll scan it in and e-mail it to him as a thank you for showing up at my uni. He gave us a rundown of his near future plans and that man's racking up a TON Of frequent-flyer miles.
The Cove... I can't really describe it. It's a heart-rending documentary that had me in tears, fuming in rage, squeeing at the cuteness, gasping at the horror, and crying again in sheer happiness because the making of this documentary has already made a difference. I recommend it immensely! It was violent, but hugely eye-opening. It's not a movie for children who just want to see the pretty dolphins, okay?

Also, don't knock the secretary type job...sure it is not an art position, but you will be at a place where you can meet and talk to a lot of people. In many ways a successful arts career depends on good networking. Give it a shot!

Date: 2010-04-23 09:02 pm (UTC)I've been bookmarking studios with post-grad internships but I was hoping to find that lucky egg in the Fair, y'know? Since most of my fellow design majors never bother going. First come first serve. ;)
The secretarial position does pay pretty well, but it's in a neighboring town, which means a half hour bus ride and I think they want someone in the summer, for which I've already have commitments. *sigh* One of the downs of living in a college town.
Heeee~~ I got to dust off my pretty business wear though! And realized I dropped from a 12 to a 10 when my previous black slacks bagged horrendously on me. ^_______________^
Now, to format, refine, and put online somehow my portfolio. XD
