I'm Kelly and I'm not in LA anymore, which is exciting. But probably only for me and the husband, because now I don't really have much craziness to talk about. I'm still checking up on you all from time to time though.
I'm almost finally allowed to say it
I haven’t been posting partially because I had crazy big news that I wasn’t allowed to share, but I got the official word and am just declaring it sharing time.
I’m leaving the beautiful, silly place I work and Los Angeles and the west coast altogether to take a job at another beautiful, though maybe slightly-less-silly place: the National Audiovisual Conservation Center, home to the Library of Congress’s motion picture department. Kris and I are overjoyed to be headed back to the east coast, more homey-feeling territory closer to our family and with a more reasonable cost of living.
But I’ve been in LA six years, and I admit that I will miss it. The tacos. The not having to look at the weather because it’s always the same. But mostly I’m going to miss my job and all the crazy people I work with, to the point that I can’t type this sentence without crying. It’s pretty much the only real job I’ve ever had, and I know more than anyone how lucky I’ve been to have had this experience.
God, I can’t believe we’re going to have to pay for movies from now on.
I start a month from tomorrow. If you find yourself near Culpeper, VA and want to check out the awesomest place ever built for a film collection, let me know.
