Happy Halloween!

Have you heard about Jonathan Ross getting suspended? Plus, the controller for BBC Radio 2 has resigned, and Russell Brand has backed out of his £200,000-a-year contract with the BBC--all thanks to a pretty insignificant phone prank that received 30,000 complaints from listeners.

It's reminiscent of the Janet Jackson Superbowl boob craze in the US, in terms of the press time that it received, plus the massive fine initially imposed by the FCC. I'm concerned that, jeez, if doofus comedians can't get away with saying whatever they want, no one can, which is a little scary.

Happy Halloween!

Daniel and I have the key components of our costumes ready for tonight, i.e. the aviators and moustaches. I may wear these sunglasses all the darned time after tonight; they're pretty amazing.

On the job front, I've started a longer-term temp job with a children's charity, which I really like, at least after the first day and a half. I'm helping out their fundraising team in getting things organised for new donations initiatives and events (like a toy appeal for Christmas, among other things). The fun part was that I unknowingly emailed the head honcho yesterday after she sent around an email all about rebranding the organisation and giving it more "celebrity." I offered any assistance as needed in creating promotional videos, and she said there could be some opportunities of that sort coming up.

So, see, there are always ways to link work back to your interests and strengths! We'll see what comes of it.

In unrelated news, I bought a film called Shark in Venice on a whim last night, and I couldn't be more excited about watching this sucker.

More soon.
