Well, I'm done with my internship, and it... well, it wasn't always a whirlwind, but when it was crazy, it was CRAZY.
I feel like that's actually a fair summary of the film industry in general.
When I first got to Stillking, there was nothing to do. But everyone had just gotten back from holiday, there were jobs on the table -- it wa…
Hi, I'm Melanie, and I'll be living in Cape Town, South Africa, for the next three months completing an internship with a local film production company. I expect to face at least a few challenges while I'm here: my apparently broken foot, for one, and the need to do dollar-to-Rand conversions in my head. Plus, I'm missing fall TV season, and you all know how I feel about that. But Cape Town is beautiful, and I'm enormously excited for the experience ahead!

Do enjoy my blog -- having to recount the best adventures when jetlagged is never any fun. You can always email me at [email protected] (I know, I'm sorry -- I created that username when I was 16), and I'll eventually have a cell phone that I may be able to use for cheap texting and pricey calls.
In the meantime, please, enjoy your brisk autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. I'll be back for Christmas!

Pretty quickly, we've learned to roll with the punches here. We lost power the other night; just lit up some candles and tried not to think about the screams we heard a couple houses down. Had…
Well, nothing gets me used to the idea of returning to Oregon in the dead of winter than a storm in Cape Town! The Cape Doctor blew through with 40 mph winds and sideways rain this week. Knoc…
Haven't updated in some time -- shame on me. But not a lot has been going on, to be honest! I'm at work right now and, having just eaten the remains of my super-burrito from Pancho's (YUM!), a…

Hi,
I finally got to your exploring and information on what's going on. So glad to see the pictures, Honey. Makes it so real to me. Glad the foot is better and you can do a lot more. Just love this--so keep it up. Love you--

Hi,
I love the pictures! Don't blink!! You might miss something. I stole the picture of the cross for my desktop at work. Hey, I work in the Life insurance business. It's our motto. Keep posting...

Hi,
Wow, sounds like quite a trip. I think we know now why you got the bad plane if they tear it apart on a regular basis. Aren't you glad that you didn't have to deal with the long layover in South Africa. Sounds like they don't mess around when it comes airplane travelers.
I'm looking forward to hearing more. We're all living vicariously though you right now. I may even give up my soaps, your life is much more interesting.
Love, Mom
Dad
You're there! Glad to hear the journey to Cape Town wasn't anything but long and tiring, unless you spared us the sorst details in your email. ;-) Have a great first week before your internship begins! And don't forget to blog! :)

Hi, Melanie, just got word of your trip today. So good luck and God Bless you as you have all the fun you can there in Cape Town. I'll be looking forward to all those exciting weeks ahead. Hope that the foot is better by now.

Well right now you are probably on a plane and getting really pissed off at the fat guy snoring next to you. I was sad today when I remembered that I wouldn't be getting random texts from you about whatever show you would be watching. In other words, I miss you already

Today... Sept 22, 2008, the first day of Autumn and the big day you head out. I very much like that you have this blog and promise to Tivo and set to green every 30 Rock episode between now and when you return. Hope you have a safe trip.
