Getting sidetracked

My apologies for not posting in the past two to three weeks, but I have been assisting New York State Electric & Gas, working at their Vestal, Kirkwood and Owego locations.  We had a major flood take place immediately after Labor Day, and it has devastated the Southern Tier of New York.  Though I did not directly clean up flooded areas—it was housekeeping duties at the NYSEG facilities—it kept me busy, and it did provide aid for the utility.

That said, I should be returning to my job hunt, which I hope will land me professional employment in the Capital District or possibly New York City.  Whatever the case, it has been a very memorable month!

Happy (Belated) Birthday to actress Jill St. John!

Because my full-time job was winding down, I did not write about the birthday of actress Jill St. John, who turned 71 on Friday, 19 August 2011.  I have had a fondness for her ever since I saw her perform in the premiere episode of Batman, on 12-13 January 1966.


On that note, here are some images of her.  Enjoy!

Stalled at the moment …

Thank God that I got Batman 1969 out when I did.  Sorry for not posting all this earlier, but this summer has been a busy time.  And I worked like mad on getting the film out.  It was difficult releasing it, and I had to keep tweaking it throughout July.  But it is now out, and the reviews have mostly (and I mean mostly) have been positive.


I had planned on filming a standalone production, Batman: Saratoga Dreamin', this month, since I had planned a vacation for 17-25 September.  That and my Web series, Carrie's World, are on hold for the moment, because my job situation has changed.  I am part-time at the moment, because my company lost a contract, and I chose to remain with it, and not stay at the work site.  I had reasons for doing so, and now I have a chance to make a break and get relocated to the Capital District.


I know that the change is necessary from a long-term perspective (or purr-spective, if you're a Catfan like me!), but for the moment, things are a little challenging.  I would be up to the Capital District this weekend, but rain has been in the forecast.  Indeed, there was a tornado watch.


No matter.  There is a chance my next major job will likely be located in the region, which suits me fine.  But in the meantime, this has been a weekend that has been too quiet for my liking.  Oh well …
