Well, this takes me.. back
Uh.. today was aiight. Getting some good stuff done in pre-production, we lookd at actors and we went over a few things in the storyboard. I'm still doing things wrong, a bit, but whatever. I'm new.
Music is screwing me up on editing.. and the fact that I'm doing TMNT but it's going to come out cool. I hate to say it, but I may have to lose the Johnny Cash song (Hurt) that I'm playing at the end credits.
I saw Last Samurai again tonight.. good film. Tom is a ridiculous human being but he's a damn good actor sometimes. Not fantastic, per sey, but he was enjoyable as was Ken.
Also, I saw American Dreamz which was pretty funny and Brick which I liked but didn't understand every word 'cause some of the terms were weird. Can't decide if Chumscrubber was better or not. Also, I saw Accepted which was one of the funniest comedies I've seen in a long time.. not that I've seen a lot of comedies recently.
Tonight, basically, was a relax night after a hard, stressful day at school. I'm not even putting in full movie hours but I am doing a lot of work up there and I like it. It's both terrifying and fullfilling.. and exhilerating. Anyway, the real point of this post isssss
I decided to hang out with Taylor tonight. So, I left around 11 and the roads were near dead and it's like 75 outside. This is why I love living here, why I so enjoy warm weather, and why I wish I had a buddy that was here and would go out with me on nights like tonight just to be out.
Anyway, I should be sleeping now and I should have gone to bed earlier but I went out to hang with him at his house, him watching these two adorable little puppies. Night is super pretty, very comfortable, I drive and enjoy the hell out of it knowing the ride home is going to be awesome.
Hanging out at his house again, his mom's anyway, was kinda cool in that I remember back when we used to just chill and chat and play games and be silly. It was funny, a chance to be someone I'm not always.. which is a little loud but also, and I hate to say it, wise. Seeing as he does come to me for advice upon occasion and he used to a lot more often then than now. 'Course, I know why. Anyway.. point is.. those dogs were so effin' cute. Izzy and Diesel. Same sort of pups as Shubert was when he was a puppy. They're like tiny weiner dogs sorta. Diesel was super fuzzy and Izzy was all playful and snuggly and it made me want a puppy. I don't want a dog.. I just like the puppies... and only when they're like lazy and half hearted at playing.
Anyway, chilled with Taylor for a bit and we watched the end of Duece Bigolo and caught Lightning highlights (Yeah, I don't care at all about hockey.. yay, Penguins won but who cares?) and then I left.
The drive home was the fun part. I took the back roads and it's still like 75, super nice out. I'm wearing my slippers and shorts and a t-shirt.. have the windows down.. good songs are playing. Ah.. it was.. so beautiful. The moon was out and illuminated the streets. I drove, more often than not, with my head and shoulder out the window.. and I drove with my lights off (when it was safe, when I could see ahead of me for very far, and when I could see there was nothing around to get me in trouble.. also.. back roads, which was the whole journey more or less) and it felt soooooo nice. I can't really describe it, but I want to capture this down.. I want to remember this night forever.
Well, the puppies.. and the drive at least. You know, Chuck says it best through Tyler in Fight Club when he says something along the lines of perfection only lasting a few moments and it's gone.. so you have to take in and enjoy those moments because that's all you get.
Tonight was totally and fully relaxing and I think, though tomorrow will be hard, I have come out of the rut I've fallen into since my dad left (and a bit before) with all the fun pressures of school setting in. I honestly haven't even had time to work if I had a job because of how much all these projects have jumped on me. But I've enjoyed it.
Also, Krissy and I have been talking again and we started playing a really cool Japanese roleplay. I'm enjoying it lots. Zatoichi 1 was pretty good. He gets hired to, after showing off some skills, basically be a strong arm to some weaker lord and the samurai that lord had hired and him fish and chat and at the end the fight is short and cool. Actually, all the fights are and I can see why the series went on as long as it does because of how.. simple.. and perfect it is. The characters and connections are neat, the acting is pretty decent, and the swordplay is typical of that era but done well. I enjoy it and look forward to the next one.
Still haven't gotten out to see 23 yet. I wanna sneak some candy into the theater again, hahaha.
Anyway, I'm out. It is bed time now.
