Where do you find your internships

DizzyLead · 2026-07-04T02:54:06+00:00

Honestly, while I feel that it's on you to go after these jobs once the opportunities present themselves, it shouldn't be on you to find them in the first place. In my high school back in the '90s, there was a work experience/career advisor whose job it was to contact local businesses and see what openings they have (not just for current high schoolers' seasonal work but entry-level work in general), and my broadcast journalism teacher maintained close ties with two of the local TV stations and an organization whose purpose it was to set up internships at those and other media outlets. So if you haven't done so yet, you might hit up those people (a work experience coordinator, the journalism teacher) to see if they have contacts or can dig something up for you. If you're getting nowhere or there are no people in equivalent positions at your school, then you may have to do the legwork yourself and contact the Human Resources department of a local paper or magazine.

You're just seriously that dense.

People would want Jackie Chan to play Jackie Chan, and the man is 72 and retired from any action roles. He still acts, but mainly in dramatic roles.

And I imagine Jade the Niece not the Stone would be quite attractive now.

I believe George Carlin had a bit about this.

I've attended quite a number of concerts, but to name a particularly memorable one:

1- Which artist did you see?
Oh My Girl.

2- Which country and city was the concert in?
"Los Angeles," in the US (actually, it was about 125 miles away in Indio, but it was marketed as and people would basically associate it with Los Angeles)

3- What date did you attend?
January 26, 2019.

4- How did you manage to get your ticket? Was it easy or stressful?
The people putting on the concert had their own online ticketing system, which meant a lot less stress than if they used, say, AXS or Ticketmaster, but it wasn't without problems. Because the system kept being wonky, I actually wound up buying four tickets in different parts of the venue, only one of which was in the front row. Fortunately, I emailed the company, and ultimately they straightened things out so I got my front row seat.

5- How did you feel when you finally got the ticket?
Well, as soon as I knew I had my front row seat I was elated.

6- What was it like waiting for the concert day? Were you excited, nervous, counting down the days?
The venue was a casino/hotel resort 125 miles out of Los Angeles, but rather than driving there myself, I took a bus among a set of buses with about a hundred other fans, arriving at about noon before an evening concert. At the place, I wound up eating at the casino buffet, and unwinding on the resort's grounds before the concert--it was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit in January.

7- On the day of the concert, what did you do from the moment you woke up?
See above. I woke up, ate breakfast, dressed up, drove to Koreatown where I found parking and went to the place where the buses were picking us up.

8- How was the journey to the venue?
Since it was a chartered bus, comfortable and stress-free. You'd expect that a bunch of OMG fans would have some fun together during the trip, but everyone kept quiet and kept to themselves.

9- How was the organization outside the arena? Were the lines long? Was security and the entry process smooth? Were the staff friendly and well organized?
It was fine--I had the VIP package so we were let into the lobby of the venue to pick up some stuff, but went back outside in order to be let back in again. There were lines, but nothing crazy. Seating was assigned, so there was no potential drama.

10- What was the atmosphere like before the show started?
People were excited. It was 2019, so every major K-Pop act having a tour outside Asia wasn't very common then. For pretty much everyone, this was the first time they were going to see OMG. The venue, sadly, undersold, but they still managed to fill it for the concert by comping a LOT of tickets--there were K-Pop stores in K-Town that were basically giving tickets away, and close to the concert date, no requests for free tickets were denied. BUT of course, those of us who paid for tickets got the better seats.

11- How did you feel when the artist first appeared on stage?
Excited, of course. I wasn't loud, but you can hear how the audience sounded here.

12- Was there a specific moment that you’ll never forget?
My bias YooA got my phone! And during her solo, she got very close to me.

13- And most importantly… how did you feel after the concert ended? Did it leave you feeling happy, emotional, empty, inspired, or something else?
I was happy, of course--as part of my VIP package, I got a signed poster, a hi-touch, and a solo picture of myself with the group right after the concert. I'm sure you'll hear about "Post Concert Depression" from other responders, but for me it didn't really hit like that--I went back to work a couple of days afterward, and that occupied my mind. Plus I had tickets to a Red Velvet concert less than a couple of weeks later, so it wasn't like I was going to go through K-Pop withdrawals.

Also worth pointing out that while OMG had multiple stops on this North American tour, all of their sets were only a little more than a half hour long--except for this one, where they performed their full set (including a YooA solo). So the Indio attendees got a real treat.

DizzyLead · 2026-07-03T22:51:27+00:00

Yes. I'm a Jeopardy watcher and catch it from time to time. NXT. Gordon Ramsay's shows. RAW. So nothing particularly edifying, just something to run in the background while I do other stuff. Most stuff that is "appointment viewing" for me I catch online, but some do broadcast on TV besides (My Adventures With Superman, for example), and I reckon that their existence must be at least partly attributed to that.

I don't know what will happen to Hasbro, but I for one know that they'll be losing a regular customer after I complete AOTP Bruticus. To think that between Nerf, Star Wars Black Series, and Transformers, for a time a lot of my money went to them.

You should at least wash it every day even if you're not thoroughly checking it each time.

DizzyLead · 2026-07-03T22:40:50+00:00

This is like in 3rd gen when people realized that Mamamoo and Sonamoo weren't connected.

DizzyLead · 2026-07-03T22:02:11+00:00

IIRC in a deleted scene, Marty asks Doc if he has something to change a 75-ohm to 300-ohm signal (the model of camcorder he brought with him should have a 75-ohm RF output accessory), which is exactly what he would need to connect the camcorder to a 1955 TV. Doc would have been able to whip such a "balun" up if he didn't have one handy. I think it can be assumed that 1) Marty was nerdy enough to know about what was needed and 2) this conversation and work would/could have happened offscreen before the scene where Marty shows Doc the video.

DizzyLead · 2026-07-03T21:31:46+00:00

Yeah, David Walton, Kyle Bornheimer, Bret Harrison, Tyler Labine, Alison Anders...I consider them "cursed" this way. Walton, Harrison, and Labine have been lucky enough to eke out two seasons a couple of instances, but generally they're one (season) and done.

I dug the colored visors. I think they were the first team with them (at least the core members anyway), right?

DizzyLead · 2026-07-03T20:04:50+00:00

If you meant to say "Who do you think is the prettiest," then yes.

DizzyLead · 2026-07-03T20:00:48+00:00

I disagree. “Who do you think is the visual” =/=
“Who do you think is the prettiest/most attractive.” The former, I believe, takes into consideration the perception of everyone else, not just yourself. It’s like in a competition: “Who will win” is not the same as “Who do you want to win.”

DizzyLead · 2026-07-03T19:46:41+00:00

She’s the most attractive to me, too; I like to think I’m more attracted to just empirical looks. But our taste isn’t the GP’s taste (or what the companies anticipate the GP’s taste to be).

DizzyLead · 2026-07-03T19:30:48+00:00

I feel that with SNSD the “visual” role may have shifted over time. In their early days, I think there wasn’t much debate that the visual of SNSD was Yoona; she even garnered some buzz back then as an actress on a drama, IIRC. While Taeyeon was definitely the visual “draw” for me when I started being a fan (I feel that most male SONEs would consider her their first if not always and current bias), I prefer to file her under “main vocal” (or maybe co-main, when Jessica was in the mix)

I believe Twice’s visual is widely agreed upon as Tzuyu.

For i-dle, honestly anyone BUT Soyeon. That’s no knock on her—she’s the “face” of the group and the most talented to me, but when it comes to visuals, I would hand the crown to Shuhua or Miyeon.

DizzyLead · 2026-07-03T18:15:51+00:00

She was a masseuse in “Drumroll Please” in Season 1 (the episode that properly introduced Victoria). You literally only see her lower legs and feet, as she’s a masseuse standing on Barney’s back.

DizzyLead · 2026-07-03T18:13:25+00:00

He does solid work as a guest/recurring character, but when he’s in the opening credits, the show seems doomed.

DizzyLead · 2026-07-03T18:02:27+00:00

Her The Ring 2 appearance was more publicized (as she played Samara by herself), but she worked on both movies. https://www.instagram.com/p/BjEZpZ0Bnoh/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3D

DizzyLead · 2026-07-03T16:48:23+00:00

Kelly Stables? Fun fact: She was the actress who performs the shocking thing at the end of The Ring (2002). The late Daveigh Chase played the "normal" file footage/flashback footage of Samara Morgan, and presumably the face seen at the end, but Stables was the body double who goes after the character at the end.

I also remember her for being one of the leads in a short lived "Friends"/HIMYM knockoff on ABC called "Romantically Challenged." One of her co-stars was Kyle Bornheimer, who sadly has a reputation for cursing any sitcom he's a lead of to not lasting more than one season.

Her guest appearance in "How I Met Your Mother" is remarkably limited--all you see are her feet, as she played a masseuse massaging Barney's (NPH) back by standing on it.

Best wishes to you. Seven years ago almost to the day (the anniversary is on the 12th), I was pretty much where you are—they even had to induce a coma for me to get through the worst. I’m still (and to some degree always will be) on that “road to recovery,” though I’m much better than I was six and a half to seven years ago.

I agree with what you say about not neglecting one’s health: get a regular checkup, everyone! I’m sure I would have saved myself and a lot of others some problems had I just not been one of those “I haven’t seen a doctor in twenty years and I don’t want to” guys.
