A really quick recovery

I'd never think I'd be able to recover from a flu in only a day... Stuffy nose and sore throats are gone.

Anyways, all I have left are pressurized inner ear areas. (like when you descend on a commercial jet liner, but it lasts much longer.)

Also, the SFU Surrey open house is today and it's mandatory that I go to that to see if it's right for me. If it isn't, It's gonna be a month's wait for a collective decision on my fate. (or, If I win a lottery, go to VFS or Art Institutes)

And NO to BCIT. Period. (especially with the news of a prison right by the campus.)

Sick.

The Flu or something has got me, and I'm not feeling 100%.

All the stress probably made my body vulnerable, and here I am, with a painful throat and stuffy nose.

All this worry of post-secondary is enough to crumble down the immune system...

Wish me the best.

A drawing more than one year in the making

The Burnaby South admins picture is finally done:

Started work on this in January 08, and was on and off for a whole year until finally finishing it today.

Genevieve Ip does it again!

This time the video is "OVER 9000!" times better than Domo Arigato, Mr. Scotto.


This is what I aspire to be, but I need to find a good post-secondary place first to get my foot in the door for this industry of Video Editing.

I did however, stumble upon the CV/Resume of someone actually working at Greedy: Amir Aghelnejad

I hope things start moving forward soon about finding the right school.

Going ahead with my Greedy Productions plans

My plan for my immediate future:

1. Get my Dogwood

2. Get into a Post-Secondary place with a Film & Video program (I prefer the Art Institutes)

3. Get into Greedy Productions as an intern

4a. Possibly apply for Job at Greedy

5. Graduate the Post-Secondary Program

4b. Apply at Greedy for a camera or editing position

5. Send a Resume every 6 months to IG while at Greedy

6. Start with Q&A at IG.

7. Be hired from within to the dedicated Video Editor position (Paul F.'s current position)

Again, if you don't know what Greedy's like, here's what it was like back in 07 before the now canceled "The Lab with Leo Laporte" set was done:

A full simsub by CTV for the Super Bowl 2009...

Due to a CRTC Complaint here. No Canadians in the two major cities of Vancouver and Toronto can see any Super Bowl Ads this year, just local ads or CTV program reminders.

That's right, the capitalistic CTV has simsubbed ALL (HD and SD, East and West) signals of NBC for the Super Bowl.

I'd like to quote a forum post from Digitalhome.ca:

"I understand that the CRTC rules the media world in Canada, but the least CTV could do is work with their advertisers do what they do in the US and make commercials entertaining! There should be no reason why we should see the same commercials as we do when you are watching any other crappy CTV show. Most of the commercials are CTV commercials for upcoming garbage. What I am going to do, and I encourage more people to do, is boycott any show or company ad that repeats and that looks like $10000.00 was spent putting it together."

Forget boycotting the Canadian Advertisers, boycott CTV for even trying to restrict the accessibility of US signals.

But, what can we really do? Nothing...

Edit (Feb 26th): Looking through the Wiki history of the talk page for simsubs, I happened upon a person who copy and pasted a bunch of forum messages. Obviously, they were removed but I found one stood out:

"If we pay for US networks, we should have the ability to watch their commercials. Or at least show at least half of the commercials from US. That's part of the super bowl experience."

Couldn't agree more. The cost of your premium US channel subscription should at least cover the losses for Canadian Advertising.
