i can't believe i can't think of a title for this.
Tuesday I went to a temp agency and filled out a bunch of paperwork. What kills me is how repetitive it is. It just blows my mind. Also, I just get so sick of wasting time - like, I sent my resumé, which should be pretty self-explanatory. But then she calls me to talk about it. Okay, that's fine I guess, permissible but I end up saying exactly what's already on the paper. Then, when I physically go in to fill out all of their paperwork? She asks me about it all AGAIN. It reminds me of when I go to the doctor, and they have my chart/history that says what I'm allergic to, and then the nurse asks me what I'm allergic to, and then the doctor comes in and asks me what I'm allergic to. What do I even answer/fill shit out for if it's going to be disregarded. OMG it is one of my biggest pet peeves right now!
Then I came home and there were so many people in this house that I went sort of nuts and after Glee (loved the umbrella number, apathetic about the rest of it, full on HATED the Chicago number BLAH, I'm sorry but if your actors can't do certain dance steps without looking ridic, don't make them do those steps - choreographer FAIL) I went to bed. Which is early as hell, do you hear me?! SO STRANGE.

Wednesday night I shot local documentary premiere & after-party and I still can't believe I get paid to do something that is so much fun. Joel came, I worked with him on the movie this summer and he got so excited when he saw me and was all, "I wouldn't recognize you without a camera around your neck." ♥ ♥ ♥ And Mark was so nice to me, it blew my mind because he gave me a little hell this summer, and I am so glad he asked me to do this in spite of that. And I loved the film itself, too. It made me like him more to see that he can produce something that I respect and enjoy. I think it helps us to see each other's art? IDK. But it was good.
And then at the after-party, he was all, "Liss, you've gotta meet this guy~!" and introduced me to some guy named Vance who founded a photography thing in the area and is now a curator and he was so cool. And then I was just snapping pics and some other guy came up to me and was like, "So you're a photographer..." LOL WHAT GAVE ME AWAY?! And then we talked LOADS and oh man, his name is Keith and after a totally geeked out conversation he was all, "You know, I should really hire someone like you to teach me all of the new digital stuff, teach me how to edit and all. Do you have a card?" I DON'T. BUT I AM MAKING THEM ASAP. I gave him my info on the back of a ticket. ♥ And I told him I'd rather have him teach me dark room than "hire" me with monies and we were both like OMG DEAL AND WE ARE SO EXCITED, OKAY. Also I met Mark's twin brother, he was hilarious and so outgoing/fun and we talked a lot too, he does photography as well, he started out as a yearbook photographer lol. He spit on my face when he was talking and it was awkward because once I totally flinched on accident. I felt bad, I hope he didn't notice lol.
Tony called, depressed as hell because our director for our December short can't fly out anymore because he's working on X-Men? And he said he'd feel bad shooting it without him. So that really sucks. BUT. He said that if I write a script by Thanksgiving and he likes it and thinks it's possible, he'll take the money he was going to put into the other short and put it into mine, produce, and shoot it. So holy SHIT am I ever on this. Want. Want. I have an idea, I hope he likes it. I don't know though, I don't know. Cross your fingers.

Today I slept super late and then Jas and I went for dinner and drinks. I got a cotton candy martini and our waiter was so tops. We were going to go shoot all the HP fans before the midnight showing but we got there at 11 AND THERE PRETTY MUCH WERE NONE. So either they were all in the theater already or people just don't dress up anymore. LIKE, when I went at midnight before there was a line all the way through the fucking mall, that's what I was expecting, okay. BUT NO. So we went home DEJECTED. Seriously, I was so mopey. Then we watched/took a nap to HP6 to kill time before our 3am showing. WHICH OH MY GOD I LOVED IT AND I NEED TO SEE IT AGAIN. IT WAS SO AESTHETICALLY PLEASING I CANNOT EVEN DEAL AND I WANTED TO CRY AT LIKE 50 PARTS. IT MADE MY H/H HEART HAPPY AND *ALSO* MADE IT EASIER FOR ME TO ~UNDERSTAND~ R/H A LITTLE. LIKE IT DIDN'T BUG ME AS MUCH AS I THOUGHT WHICH WAS AWESOME AS HELL. ALSO, HBC IS *SO* HBIC THAT I ALMOST CAN'T DEAL.
