Tjäna!! (Swedish for sorta "whats up?" only not that lame
hi guys
god i feel so disconnected to everyone, haven't read people's LJs for ages!! twas fun catching up though... (a belated) congrats nat on passing ur driving test, you rock!
nothing too exciting has been happening in my life; just working, rowing, shopping and lots of trying-not-to-think-about-how-soon-i-have-to-go-back-to-uni.... oh and also last weel i went skiing at perisher!! it was sooooo much fun, despite the snow being crappy. i went with an exchange friend from grafton, who has friends with a house in jindabyne so we stayed there. no milo fence crashing this time, though i did have a very embarrassing injury. it wasnt even cool or dramatic so i could tell people about it- i fell randomly on a flat part of the ski slope, then since my skis were still on i decided to just get up without taking the boots off the skis.... in the process wrenched my back and had to be transported down the hill lying down in the back of a snowmobile.... lol. and when they were transferring me from the slopes to the tube to the medical centre i was referred to as a "walking injured" (since thank god i didnt need a wheelchair!).
anyway otherwise i have been keeping busy doing some work on a few shoots- 3 short films, a social doco, a cooking show and a tv pilot. the short films are being entered into the "Action-fest film festival"- being judged next month (crosses fingers). Being a first yr uni student i didnt think i could do much on set, however ended up actually getting a lot of experience in different roles- camera assistant, directors assistant, best boy, unit manager, production manager, location scout, continuity, stills etc. plus i am an extra in two of the films. i got 'promoted' for the tv pilot to camera operator, though we arent shooting until next month. anyway i had quite a bit of fun doing them (despite not being paid- its all volunteer work for experience!! lol). At least i get a copy of everything i have been a part of so yup.
well i guess thats enough of an essay for now. i am really sorry whoever i havent been able to catch up with these holidays (i thought i would have loads of time but turnes out i didnt...) but we will catch up, sms or email me when you have time!!
ps. anyone interested in *cringe* seeing the new superman movie with me sometime?? i sorta want to see it, even if it is crap... i just think it would be much better on the big screen.... oh yes or pirates of the carribean (or however you spell it...). yes i am needing to see those movies!!
and also if you haven't read "Candy" then you should. it is really really good- intense but you kinda cant put it down. i really want to see the movie now that i have read the book- which is better, anyone??
yup thats kinda it. gotta get some sleep since i have a cold early morning wake up call for rowing... (though i have been getting sooooo soft lately, if its raining i just dont go anymore- two years ago i would have just pulled on a waterproof jacket....)
