I haven’t seen Molly in a while so it was pretty exciting to hang out with her for a while. We basically ran to hug each other, it was pretty cute. Today I also went to my EXPRESS interview, as you may know by my name tag. It went well, I nailed the first interview and they called me for a second one, but apparently I didn’t do so well in that one and they let me go, even though they said they will call me during the next two weeks; but we all know what that means. Either way it’s been an amazing day.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.derekleegonzalez.com/post/438092278</link><guid>http://blog.derekleegonzalez.com/post/438092278</guid><pubDate>Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:47:00 -0500</pubDate><category>blog</category><category>express</category><category>friends</category><category>happy</category><category>job</category><category>life</category><category>love</category><category>photo</category></item><item><title>Today I purchased the most anticipating game of the year, Final...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kz1osm9A5p1qzvksdo1_500.png"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today I purchased the most anticipating game of the year, Final Fantasy XIII. I’ve been playing for two hours straight and I’m hooked. I’ve certainly missed this series for far too long. It’s incredible how much easier and smoother the battle system is now, the graphics are simply stunning and the music just gives me goosebumps. If you have a PS3 and love the Final Fantasy series, get this game. Duh. Check out &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJPbozRomX4" target="_blank"&gt;the trailer&lt;/a&gt;. Now, I’m off to keep playing!

&lt;p&gt;A group of students from the University of Rochester (New York) made a gay version of Taylor Swift’s music video “You Belong With Me.” The video is starring Matt Francis (the jock) and Michael Pittman.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;You might want to watch the &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuNIsY6JdUw" target="_blank"&gt;original video&lt;/a&gt; first, if you haven’t seen it. Wouldn’t it be great if there were move same-sex couples in in mainstream &lt;a title="Equalitopia: LGBT Media News" href="http://blog.equalitopia.com/tagged/media" target="_blank"&gt;media&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I spent the last two days with them working on this project and it’s been quite the experience, editing something so captivating and emotional. The documentary itself is in spanish/english but the visuals alone are pretty impressive. It might take me a week or two to release this film and yes this is my first feature length film. It’s very exciting. We’re still trying to find festivals and events on where to showcase it as well. I hope you all enjoy it once you see it. Coming soon.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://blog.derekleegonzalez.com/post/431184614</link><guid>http://blog.derekleegonzalez.com/post/431184614</guid><pubDate>Sat, 06 Mar 2010 19:26:00 -0500</pubDate><category>haiti</category><category>tent cities</category><category>film</category><category>edit</category><category>life</category><category>blog</category><category>friends</category></item><item><title>“NOOO, GOD!
