I feel...
tired
joyless
unloved
unappreciated
not too trapped
miserly
unfulfilled

Is this what happens when you get just six hours of sleep to stay up late and read and surf the Web? I found out today that my five-year-old eyeglass prescription is too strong. This may explain the eye strain and headaches I get while at work.

I didn't think that I poisoned myself with negative thoughts today, but I just have that super low-motivation feel. Why not blog about it? I wonder what other people write in their "real" journals. How much do you self-censor your blog if you know you'll have an audience? Does anyone have a secret blog.

I think I'm becoming obsessed with film making. After spending an hour in a meeting about computer hardware, I find myself questioning my current boring, yet comfortable career path. I sit in front of an online help file or a specifications document and soon find myself pricing miniDVs or chekcing out film schools.

Werd.

Ever since SXSW I've been suffering from blog-envy. Maybe one weekend I'll actually sit down with the Lynda Weinmann design book, the MySQL handbook, and that dusty scanner and whip something together. I doubt that will happen though. I'm already burning precious screenplay writing time. I need to write my Virtual Light cum Bicycle Thief werk.

CapeCod came to Austin on a suprise trip from Oakland. Such a beautiful place seems to make Texans miserable. All those soy milk lattes and stuff must be anti-depressants. They need more chili-peppers, sunshine, and spring-fed swimmin' holes to make them happy.

Talked to Margarita shortly last night. Sounds like Califonie is treating her alright. Shiraz had a birthday party on Sunday. It started at 2 in the afternoon and I think that it was planned not to last until 11pm, which is when I ended up leaving). Yesterday was a painful day for work.

Today RedStripe and I show off our movie for our class.

SXSW is now over. Life will begin to be normal again. Though I started off strong this year, going to movies and panel discussions, but the time the music festival started I began to grow tired. The band that stood out the most to me was Winslow. Of course, I only went to one nigt of the music as well.

Yesterday, RedStripe and I shot our second assignment for our film class. I am really enjoying our class a lot. It's putting crazy ideas in my head such as me pursuing video as a hobby/career. Film school even...

LoneStar was our featured star and I thought he was really good. Considering it was just another practice assignment, I was pleased with the end-product.
