Classics

The rundown...

One week left of class - which means - edit my film - but first learn how to use my editing program on my computer - write a few papers - read a whole lot- and work my jobs every day and night - This is the big week of busy here, but come July 2nd - I will be on a real summer vacation - except for work- but no school until late August.

I had more visitors this weekend (Amy, Alan and the cat) - and even though I was working most of the time I was able to sing 9 songs at karaoke (Piano Man by Billy Joel and Die, Die, My Darling -Metallica version - just so you understand the scope of my set) and my solo trip to see Death Cab for Cutie became a group outing- as we miraculously came across three available tickets! Great show- it find it rare to see bands I've loved for a long time for a first time- most of my favorites I've seen over and over- but this was fresh and exhilirating - ah!

Also, you may be happy to hear, that the cat killed a cockroach. I'll find out this week if I will be able to move out earlier then my lease says- it'd be nice to have roommates, but not these monsters!

This weekend marked the 10th anniversary of me graduating high school... I had big plans to send out a mass text marking the occasion to those I graduated with, but I was way busy... A grand idea in my head, and there it will stay. Seriously, I had come up with so many blog entries disecting my memories and feelings of being 10 years removed, but (1) Didn't have the time to give it the effort it needed and (2) I'm trying to avoid falling into that chamber of nostalgia... Though, lately, as I sit in class, during screenings, I think about how me of 10 years ago would feel, being at a film grad school like this... but then I wish it was 10 years ago... not for any particular reason, I just like the open range of possibility that 18 sang. Which is strange, since I'm pretty much at a similar point now, but it just feels like there's less margin for error...

You're still dealing with those little black devils?! This is not unlike that Vietnam War you're always hearing so much about.
