The Blessings

This is the short dramatic scene I made for my Image and Sound Production class. I wrote the script and two generous and talented actor friends from high school agreed to star. It was a collabo project, I shot and edited the first half and the credits and my partner from class, Deb, did the rest.

Celebrate With Me

This week has been a good one for the weasel. I got a good grade on the mid-term I was nervous about and this morning I got into all the classes I wanted for next semester. Hell Yeah. Never thought I would celebrate about taking copy editing but that's what old age will do to you. Can't wait to become a grammar nerd! I intend to celebrate my triumph today by doing my homework, walking the dog, doing the dishes, cleaning my room, and other activities I find rewarding (OLD). I invite you to do the same.

Solid as Barack!

Rasta in the Quad

I love Andy Samberg, he is truly the voice of our generation.

Dog Snores

The giant beast snores so loud I often think he is suffocating in his sleep. But no, he just sounds like a very old man.

Elusive Patience

Registration for classes is going on this week and I got up early to beat the rush only to discover that I can't sign up until 1pm tomorrow. As a first year, my pool gets last choice. Of course they sent me many emails with date and time information on it, but I was confused after talking to the head of my department, so I got up early for no reason. Boo. Everyone is jockeying for the same classes so it feels like the pressure is on. I am trying to remember to breathe and surrender and all that good stuff, but it's hard.

Also, I have decided that I really want to work as an intern at the Ptown Fine Arts Center this summer but they don't start accepting applications until December. To quote the Princess Bride, "I hate wait."

Back in the Saddle

Yesterday I spent four hours editing the short dramatic scene I shot last weekend. It's not done yet, but I had fun cutting it and am confident that I can finish it by class on Tuesday. It's nice to know that after six years away from the editing suite, I haven't lost my magic Avid touch. Look for the finished product up here later this week. Once I turn that bad boy in, my mid-terms will be officially over--hurray!

In other news, I got to talk to my beloved former housemate, Foolie McFoolerton, today. It was a rare treat. There is a possibility that fair Foolie will be coming east this winter in time to celebrate New Years and the 31st bday of the weasel. Oh, I can barely stand to think of how much fun we will have!

Last night I slept for 10.5 hours which felt just right. Since moving, my body now requires about two more hours of sleep than it used to in California. Hopefully this condition will not be permanent, although I kind of like the idea of hibernating for the winter.

Tonight I am having family dinner with my mom, bros and bff Torrance. Tory was a regular fixture in my house during high school, but she hasn't seen my bros in a decade. I expect a joyous reunion with much good natured Campagna-style ribbing. My mom is making my brother's favorite dinner: roast beef, mashed potatoes and broccoli cheese casserole. Tory and I will have boca burgers, it's gonna be totally awesome.
