Where’s Jad?
Believe me, I’ve been asking myself that question a lot lately.
Sometimes it feels like the whirlpool of life is dragging me under. I’m glad to have recently found a good job in the environmental consulting arena, however my commute is brutal: 45 minutes to work, an hour home. My wife’s commute is not much better; 30 plus minutes each way. Admittedly, we’re still fairly new to the San Diego area and are getting our feet wet in the big city lifestyle. These drive times (including grocery shopping, going to church, etc.) are a world away from what we were used to back in good ol’ quaint Iowa City, IA. I truly wish I could update the blog while driving to work, but it wouldn’t do anybody any good to go crashing my car, now would it?
I am glad to report that my friend Bill Chirrick over at starwarslocations.com recently invited me to write up a story about my trip to Sevilla, Spain, and the Ep II filming location found there. Head on over to his excellent site to see my little contribution!
In other news, I recently spoke with Philip Wise of Rebelscum.com about my custom 12″ Jad action figure. He had me email him some headshots so the artists at Gentle Giant can paint the piece. Which means my very own custom 12″ action figure actually exists! Just a few coats of paint and he’ll be all mine! It is so very important to have something to look forward to.
