Le Update de Fevrier
School News
I'm currently Production Designer for "Ficus", AKA "The Psychic Lives of Plants", a 20 minute movie we're making at school. It's going to be a pretty intense couple of weeks for me to pull this off, depending on what kind of help I can get. After that will be another 3 or more intense weeks as "Night of the Fabulously Dead" goes into production. That's the gay zombie movie I'm directing. No idea how we'll pull it off, but shhh, don't tell anyone. The writer, producers and myself have worked together on the script, and I'm really happy with where it is now, it's pretty damn funny.
Haley News
Things with Haley and I are wonderful. She has a new job, and the idea of her moving out on her own in a few months or so has us both excited. I'd love to move in with her, but I'm financially unable to, and likely will be for quite some time. But I'll visit lots. Being in love is a wonderful thing. She mad me the funniest Valentine's Day card, that had me laughing for quite a while.
Health News
I have had digestive problems lately. I wont go into any details, but it's been bothersome. And a goddamn canker soar that just wont go away! Also, I've gained a lot of weight. I finally had some pants of mine repaired, only to find I don't fit them anymore. A simple half-hour kike up to the Deep Cove lookout was a lot more difficult than it should be. The lure of junk food sometimes is too great. The lure of sleeping in, or doing anything but exercise is great also.
Car News
Skulvo seems to be doing okay. I've not had the time/motivation to work on it much, and there are a few things I'd like to look into. The only real issues is the suspension (there's a clunking from the right front strut) and the power steering (which doesn’t always kick in right away). I just spent $250 on a set of 4 new tires, which was actually a deal, as I was able to trade my old tires in for full value. Thank you Volco Tire in Richmond. The Scaries is still sitting by our house. I'm going to strip it down and give it to the 2nd year film people for a movie they're doing. It was a good car. Lots of memories. I think I'll make a movie about it some day (K-Car cops never happened).
Money News.
I'm broke. I'm about $14,000 into debt when you add it all up, although I think there's some money left in my college fund to pay for this year, so that only leaves me 6k in debt, 4k to credit card (only 6% interest) and 2k to my grandma who lnt me money for my car. My only foreseeable source of income before school's-end is my income tax return.
Web News
I'm still in a fight to try and get www.leproductions.com back. The company I had it hosted with (ehostpros) were real fuckups, and now it's being held ransom. I've emailed them 5 times without a reply. It's complicated, and very frustrating.
