LivingTodayInThePresent

I died last night after 10 hours of work in HCCA and spending the rest of the night shooting a video and doing voiceover work for GAME magazine’s TMS.

A bowl of noodles, a bar of Cadbury and two mugs of brewed coffee later this morning and I was resurrected. So now I’m typing like crazy to finish the Pulse newsletter deadline.

While I love Michiko to pieces for being so supportive last night, the whole shoot was not my idea of a good time. I’ve never had any complaints as a courtside reporter (I’ve even been tapped to do all-star games) and I’ve always been praised for my good memory but last night– bar none, was the worst moment of my life. Even technicians and crew members were making fun of me as I flubbed and stuttered my way around the script. While I was a gamer, it was tough to wrap my mind around games I didn’t even play and memorize a script I didn’t make after 10 hours of work earlier. It was utterly demoralizing and the only one to blame for last night’s uber late wrap up was myself.

*sighs* I don’t think I even want to see what I look like when they upload the video. Here’s a recall of the script– I finally memorized it around 12 midnight.

Agh! I hate mediocre work and last night’s memory will be etched in the Hallways of Shame. But whatever, I love the magazine, I love Michiko (in a strictly non-lesbian way) and I did get good news about getting some last pay so what the hell! It’s not like this is going to be a smear on my career! Ever heard of a gaming lawyer? A gamer’s lawyer? Eeekk!!!
