The Comic Man Cometh or better yet Kirkman Comes to Town

Another two weeks at TWD has come and passed, and alas it's dawning on me that this internship wont last forever. It'll be a sad day for me when we wrap up the first season and close down the office; however, that is a long way off yet. So let's not think about it, instead let me dazzle you with delightful details about Robert Kirkman's visit and a teensy taste of living life in California. This last week was spent working in the writers' room with Robert Kirkman. If you've never met Robert, he is a terribly imposing figure, a beast of man who scares the dickens out of little kids; ha, actually Robert is one of the nicest people you will meet and extremely personable. He is super polite and sharp as a tack, watch out for his zingers, because he'll get ya. Robert, being one of the executive producers, gets to do basically whatever he wants, so we made him welcome as he aided in the writing process. That meant his week was spent in the room with the writers, adding his input to the episode they were working on. He has been running around being involved in all facets of the production process so we were lucky to have him. It was a pleasure to spend the entire week with him, and we look forward to him coming back. The production is in full swing now, and I'm beginning to take on more responsibility in the office, exciting I know. I am answering the phone a lot more, and earning a chance to spend more time in the writers room, so remember kids hard work does pay off. I feel that when this is all said and done, I will have the skills and training necessary to become an exceptional office P.A. and eventually keep climbing the ladder (yes that was a shameless plug of my skills as self promotion to anyone looking for an Writers' Office PA in the future). Kirkman's visit basically highlighted the last two weeks, but in other writing news, I have been using my spare time to do quite an overhaul on some of my personal work, and I hope to get some of it out into the world very soon. It's time for me to talk about California in a more general sense. The most exciting part so far, there was an earthquake! Needless to say, it was awesome. My walls rattled in my apartment for a bit, but that was the only indicator of the seismic activity. I actually thought my neighbors were stomping around particularly hard that day, but it turns out the earth was just twitching. Boo ya, experiencing an earthquake is now checked off my list of things to do. Thank you California. I would also like to thank all of the people who drive, for constantly making sure my life is interesting and relatively unsafe. I have now been honked at every single time I have gone through a fast-food restaurant drive through. Seriously, the drive-through; not on the road, not on the highway, in the fucking drive through. Im taking a moment to send out a special message, I want to let the impatient assholes honking behind me know that I'm not the one holding up the line, so honking at me doesnt do anything. I'm patiently waiting on my food to arrive, and if you're honking at them to hurry up inside, you're not going to help either one of us. If they think I'm honking, then I get spit in my food, and if they think you're honking their gonna spit in your food, and take even longer. So do us both a favor, dont honk, and the chill the fuck out. Other than the bonkers drive through honkers, California is a lovely place with a melting pot of cultures that never ceases to amaze and suprise me. It's fun, so I'm gonna go enjoy it. Seacrest Out.
