i can't get no-oh...sat...is...fac...shun
so the last couple months i've been all over the map. an example:
me: hey
friend: yo
me: what do you call those things that you wrap around your neck to keep warm??
me: i REALLY can't remember, i don't know why
me: SCARF!!!
me: nevermind
friend: are you doing drugs?
a short but sweet IM conversation detailing my inability to grab a toehold onto basic vocabulary. at least not right away. the film has kept me preoccupied and so have the long hours i've been throwing at everything on my plate. so the question you have to ask yourself is "so, like, seriously....who cares?"
well i guess i care. there's been a lot of ice-cream eating at work, lots of making sandwiches at work. lots of coming home and emailing and calling and gazing into eyes and falling asleep. lots of sleeping without sleeping. lots of dreaming without closing my eyes. the only suggestion i have for those of you missing out on such things is this: you're totally missing out.
new folks at work, old faces at work. the weekly grind in filming but that's coming along nicely. the finished product will be quite the finished product, i think. very much worth...well worth everything.
i have two more films to write. i want to shoot more, obviously, but in terms of acting and investing i'm only going to stick with my stuff right now, thank you. it's been cold outside, which is nice though badly timed. we have an outdoor shoot in a bar alley that will not be nice for actors if it's colder than cold outside. so that is something to be considered.
beyond that, well things are just a matter of time. i have ten minutes to breathe today, so i write. some people seem to think that is impressive or some other malarky; more like it's what i do and that bears no semblance to intentional or ambititious paths. it's more just something that must be done, like bathing or taxes.
i want to help other people some more. family and friends, those that are more than family or friends. help people get through school, help people get out of school. help people take chances, help them learn to rein it in some. help people laugh. help people do what they want. help them just be important in the ways they would like to be important.
so all in all, there's a lot on my plate. but it's a massive plate, reader. massive and tough as granite...no way i'm cleaning my plate right now.
