That's something I'd also enjoy outside of Elementary education

I was recently approached by my Doctor. He told me that his office is putting in a sound system, and he suggested hiring me as a "music consultant". Basically I would be in charge of programming a week's worth of music to be played in the offices and waiting rooms.

...what's the odds that a rogue Smiley or Love You track hits the rotation?

The odds are exceedingly good, if I get the job.

Journalism student/ full time dreamer 

[hypehat]

English Student at large! Although given the major preoccupation I have with music, people assume I study that. Which is irritating, in a somewhat complimentary way 

Haha same here. Do you have no life either? Mine has been lost this semester

Just saw this, and it is unbelievably true. I'm thinking of moving into the library and saving on rent, it's not like i actually use my flat nowadays

Currently I'm unemployed as I'm backpacking around Australia  Worked in the same crappy job for four years up until 9 weeks ago and am so glad I quit. Outside of the Smiley Smile board I listen to The Beach Boys. A lot.

That is Cool!  When you mentioned not being home to get your ESQ's, I thought you were working elsewhere. Nice to know you're simply enjoying yourself.

That sounds amazing, get off this damn board and enjoy yourself!

Nice!
I greatly appreciate menus for dvds!
Can you tell me any designs that you're responsible for?

[onkster]

Oh gosh...a lot of second/third string Disney stuff! I think I did the Air Buddies 4 and 6, as well as some oldies (Greyfriars Bobby, Darby O'Gill and the Little People, Castaway Cowboy, Tonka [I think], Scandalous John, Ten Who Dared, stuff like that). Also animated the Toy Story 3 DVD menu, though there was a longer version I did that was much better. I also animated a lot of game stuff for Bambi and Peter Pan. Did a lot of other non-Disney kid stuff, like Bob the Builder,Thomas the Tank Engine, Angelina Ballerina. I did a rather complicated motion menu for Eloise at the Plaza.

Also did some motion comics that mostly got used as DVD bonus materials.

My memory is faulty this morning, so best check me out at:

It'll give you a much better idea of stuff I've done, and you can actually see it!

I'm a translator and editor of books mainly on architecture, a subject I know next to nothing about. But it pays well.

1st of all, thanks to punkinhead for making this topic, it's a great way of getting to know the other board people. 2nd:

I have come to the realisation that I have been acting in a show in some capacity since early September. Apparently, this would qualify me as a budding amateur actor. How on earth did this happen.

I had the same question after reading your story. BBs fan & acting seem like 2 polar opposites, so I bet you weren't good at acting. Though maybe you quit it by now.

2lance: didn't know you're from the Czech Republic, had no doubt you were an Englishman.

Sounds great! I can only imagine how many variety of artists you've listened to in your life (as reviewing CDs would require large music outlook?).

Jay (aka Diaphanous Moiety), how's your deal with the music consultant job? Are you still working in that regard?

Actors who have publicly mentioned their love for The Beach Boys:

Jeff Bridges
Zooey Deschanel
Drew Barrymore
Elijah Wood
Aaron Eckhart
more recently Paul Dano and John Cusack
And I'm sure there are a plethora of others.

How you came to the conclusion that acting and being a Beach Boys fan are polar opposites is beyond me.

Definitely a bizarre comment... Kinda rude too actually. 

[punkinhead]

I hadn't read this thread in a while, kinda forgot...I've been an ABA therapist for autistic kids for the past year...it's not exactly teaching in a school but it's still in the same area mostly.

Also, saw the post about the musical coordinator at a doctors office? My doctor has been known to love the beach boys, everytime I visit, I'm reading a different beach boys or related book and before we even talk about me, we discuss the book and what's going on in the BB universe.
The music there is usually oldies, some beach boys greatest hits play often.

Agreed, this same person called me a "bizarre granny" for liking the DW VoiceOver on the BBs Christmas album.

It's probably "just a language barrier thing". Surely, there's no-one here that would be that rude, intentionally, time and again
