Hello humanoids.
Obviously it has been a minute since I've bombarded you with my life, so here we are. Did ya miss me?
I haven't written in awhile because I have nothing to say. Recently, I have come to realize that that is not true. I always have something to say. I have been cooped up in BG since the end of March and have done many things with my time. Besides having anxiety attacks, I've been trying to do things to make me look like I haven't been lazy. So that employers can say, "hey ya know what? let's hire this cool chick because she didn't just sit on her ass during quarantine".
By that statement you know that I am still unemployed. I am very optimistic that the job will come when the time is right and I am setting myself up for success. For example, I began writing for an online magazine in May. I do not get paid to do this but, I get to write articles about film and TV.

Additionally, I am the Director of Film & TV for another online magazine. That involves me leading the team of film writers and giving them feedback on their articles. This magazine is all over the place and the communication is terrible so I might be quitting this position. I've enjoyed reading the articles that the writers have sent me though.
Recently I have started writing TV news for an entertainment news website. I write five articles a week about breaking news in the television industry. I am now a wiz at Wordpress and I love the feeling of seeing my article getting viewed on the site.

Pay no attention to my bio on that website. For once, I had no idea what to write.
SoO I've been keeping myself busy. I like writing TV news because I like to read TV news. I think I'd be a great entertainment reporter and interviewer because I am genuinely interested in the topics. Anyway, I'm enjoying myself and slapping more things on my resume.
I addition to the writing, I am a certified COVID-19 Compliance Officer. I took a training on line and then passed my test so it's official. What does this mean? Well, in order to start production shows, films, commercials, and music videos need one of these Compliance Officers on set. We monitor symptoms, check everyone's temperature at the entry point, wipe things down, put blue tape on the floor to signify six feet apart, and so on. Basically, we're making sure everybody stays safe and the production doesn't have a coronavirus outbreak. Since every set and production is requiring at least one of these, I felt it was in my best interest to get certified. I care about safety, and I want to be in the industry. It's an ideal situation for me. So, I'm Lindsey Rabinowitz and I'm a certified COVID-19 Compliance Officer. Let me help you keep your set safe.
Something I've been enjoying a lot is going through my grandparents house. My Nana and Papa haven't gone through anything in over 50 years. We started with clothes, then knick knacks, and now anything my Nana wants to look at. Of course she almost has a heart attack every time we open a drawer because she cannot believe the amount of stuff she's accumulated over the years. Besides the fact that I have a whole new wardrobe, I love hearing the stories. Every item comes with a story and I love to listen to my Nana and Papa tell it. What's really awesome is that I now have items of my great grandma's in my possession. I have an old clock of hers that I hear ticking every time my room gets silent and I just think of her and my great grandpa having conversations in their living room as the clock ticks behind them. I also have one of her coats and some of her old costume jewelry. She was very into beads, and so am I, so I love that I can now wear these necklaces and think of her. It gives me a drive to dress better too... Anyway, we're going through more stuff this week and I'm pumped. We've also been donating whatever things they don't want which has been great!
My sister Syd was in town for three months and it felt like 6 hours. I never saw her during the day because she was busy working but we all had dinner together every night. On weekends we'd play Game Cube, and every morning we went to workout together. Oh. That's another thing I've been doing...exercising. I guess you know I'm bored because I am voluntarily waking up at 6:00am every weekday morning to sweat for an hour. I still go and Sydney's not even here. BUT LIKE I'M NOT REALLY DOING ANYTHING ELSE. And my endocrinologist is proud of me so...
My girl Rachel has made herself at home in Israel and that makes me sad but excited for her. She's been my only friend home for the past 5 months and now she's off to bigger and better things. The holy land. So pumped for her.
In other news, my other friend Rachel and I have been looking at apartments in LA. It's been rough and frustrating but we are nearly at the finish line of finding a place and moving out West. We're both eager to start our lives and get this show on the road. Even if we can't do all the exciting things we want to, and neither of us are employed, we're excited to journey into adulthood and see what it brings. We'll work a bunch of part-time jobs until something comes up for us. Nannying, UberEats, WHATEVER IT TAKES. The two of us want to be amongst the palm trees and by the serenity of the ocean. Also I want to be with the glitz and the glamour. We're so clooseeee.
What am I watching?
Supernatural
One of the best and worst decisions I've ever made was starting Supernatural. The show's last episodes premiere in October. There are 15 seasons, 23(ish) episodes each, AND 45 minutes per episode. BUT, its wonderful. It's terrible because now I can't watch anything else. I'm surviving though. I take a break between seasons and binge watch some other show that doesn't have a lot of episodes.
Umbrella Academy
The second season ROCKED. Read my article on Unpublished if you want to see more about what I thought of it.
Lovecraft Country
I read this book a couple months ago because I knew it was going to be a HBO Max show. The episodes come out once a week and so far its AWESOME. The story itself is twisted and intriguing and to see it come to life is wonderful. The cinematography and the design of the pace of the show pulls you in.
Watchmen
I almost forgot about Watchmen. I finished this show so fast because I just couldn't stop. Just an FYI...HBO Max is making some pretty amazing originals so if you don't subscribe...maybe ya should. I knew nothing about Watchmen before watching the show and I hardly knew what was happening throughout the entire series but it didn't matter. There were so many twists and turns that I could not take my eyes off the screen. REGINA KING DESERVES ALL THE AWARDS. She should be cast in every single film or TV forever. This is truly incredible and they were nominated for like 26 Emmy's or something.
That's all for now folks! I'm just gonna keep on applying for jobs, keep checking on my applications for paid internships at HBO...if you can't tell I'm a big fan...so if anyone wants to make a call...and help me get one of these internships...I know I'd fucking kill it...but no pressure.
Keep on keeping on my friends. We're all in this together and I can already see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's kinda far away but its there. ;)
OH! Make sure to watch Bill and Ted Face The Music. My family and I might be in it for a second. We sent in a video for a contest and I got an email back saying 'hey! you may or may not be in the movie so make sure you watch it!'. So...go watch it and maybe you'll see us playing fake instruments in our backyard. HEHEHE.
Peace mah dudez,
Lindsey Rose
