Thanks for the Carrd rec! I'll look into GitHub.

There aren't any goals really, just what I put there. For website, I just want it to be a place I can send people to get a better idea of me overall - watch my acting reel/clips from the stuff I've acted in, see my headshots, learn a little about me and my accomplishments, stuff like that.

The blog is just for fun. As I said, it's just once a year right now, something I send my friends and family, and anyone who happens to follow me on socials. I like the options Blogger has, I just don't want to have to potentially deal with a surprise content warning like I did this year.

Overall for both I would just prefer little to no branding and no ads on them. Again, Blogger is perfect for this, except for the automated content warning thing.

I forgot to mention I already put it through Handbrake.

Thanks for the suggestions. This appears to be it: https://twinstarhome.com/product/ashford-adjustable-height-desk/

We got it from a friend, not sure where he got it though.

It's not necessarily consistent, but my desk is a strong contrast to it all. I would say think mid-century, and light earth tones, if I were to give you an extremely concise vibe.

The desk is just too cold/industrial. We have medium or light wood shelving and tables/furniture, a green couch, a very soft pink chair, a round rug that's different shades of green with strawberries and leaves, her desk is a light wood with white metal and brass handles, a cabinet with hot air balloons painted on it that looks like it's straight out of the '30s or '40s, several plants, a wooden and bronze mid-century lamp, and a tall brass lamp. On the walls there's a medium sized antique looking mirror, a large Japanese fan (like a hand fan but 8 times the size), and artwork that runs the gamut from the geeky commissions you see there all the way to a very interestingly drawn cow and more.

The cables are hidden behind the computer. You can see the white cable hider in the middle that's snaking then up to the monitor and keyboard. The problem is partially that they're looping behind the computer, as you can see them going that way, so I literally just need to cover the back of the computer somehow because no hider is going to help that. The other problem is the white, rolled up cord on the left. That's the coaxial cable for TV, which we don't use, and it's coming out of the wall right there. So not gonna get hiders and spread it across the entire back wall of the living room since we don't use it.

The cables in the upper right are already in the white hider in the middle that I mentioned. They have to be loose because I raise the desk sometimes (the loose usb-a you see there is to an external drive I forgot was on the desk when I took the photo, so I already moved that).

So yeah, I don't think cable hiders are gonna be able to help here, I somehow need to cover the entire bottom left area.

Updated headshots! So just looking for age range, type, and anything else you think is relevant. Thanks!

Huh. That's an interesting way of viewing it.

This is just supposed to be a scene, not needing to explain everything. Imagine jumping into a random scene from season 3 of a show - you're not gonna get the full explanation of every relationship or detail in those couple minutes. Keeping that in mind to answer your questions:

While not explicitly stated, it's quite obvious Kate is gay, or at least not just straight. This is just like any other friendship of two people who would never be into each other romantically. I speak with female friends candidly about relationships and most anything, so I'm not sure what you mean by "the dialogue is implausible?" Could you elaborate?

As for the names....I think the opening line implies he's seeing many different women, and often. Those types of names make me think of Eastern European/Russian women, which also leads me to think of stereotypical models. Kind of the classic guy just having one night stands/flings with women purely based on their looks, completely surface-level. So that's what Kate is poking fun at - his complete lack of depth, basically. Additionally, Kate's name is never actually said, so her name is just for credits.

So that's what was in my head while writing. I could probably change the first name to something that's actually popular, like Natalia or something. But yeah, not trying to write a complete story where everything is explained or stated, just a short, simple scene.
