Wow. It's almost been a month!! Well, I think the last time I blogged I was in the midst of movie madness. RedStripe and I spent at least two weeks of editing at least two sometimes up to eight hours a day to get our movie done. Our screening in the theater was cool--we were the first to go. What made me the happiest was that people laughed at all our gags.

Friends of mine kept on giving me compliments about how they liked the movie. While they probably are sincere, I still have trouble accepting praise. Still, it's good to hear that people liked something that you put so much work into.

While I thought I would have something of a break, work has been picking up quite a bit. This might stem from the fact that I really neglected work the weeks leading up to the release of the movie. I think movie-making might be detrimental to my professional career. But I've got the bug, too bad.

I'm considering taking the second "film" class. A couple friends of mine seemed to be interested in doing something this summer as well. I just need to come up with something.

Also, in a rare lapse of spontenaiety, I'm going to San Francisco for Memorial Day Weekend. Yesterday at work I was greeted by the American Airlines Webfares to find a $169 flight to San Francisco. Since I'd been trying to find some way out of town I jumped at the chance. I think I've convienced CapeCod and Margarita to take me to Santa Cruz on Sunday. It'll be cold, but I really want to go to the beach. Of course, I guess I could have packed up the car and just driven four hours to Galveston too...

I have a feeling that this summer will ve weird. LoneStar left for boot camp on Monday. It still blows my mind that he's enlisted. I'm housesitting his place for the summer. Going around a friends house when they're not there is a little strange, even if your just taking in the mail.
