unbelieveable
oh man! what a turnaround. this happens to me every year i suppose. film festival edns, i get sucked back into the vortex of temping. now that in itself is pretty awful, but now the place they stuck me bans certain web pages. i haaaate that. this means no perusing myspace, no looking at my friends page on lj (!) and many others. i cant even get onto the scottish screen website and that is totally legit! ah. anyway, we are gettinga brand new home computer soon so that should take care of that.
a friend of mine back in nyc has appraoched me about turning a story i had written into a screenplay. he would like to work on it together. now besides him being an awesome guy, he just won the Los Angeles Film Festival Best narrative film award plus a check for $50,0000! so that is quite exciting. i do feel a little honoured that he would like to work with me on a script froma story i wrote. yes indeed.
hopefully i should be working on a BBC film project for Oct/Nov, so that should be good stuff. it will mean i have to stay in glasgow though and be away from the danny for long stretches but the project sounds very interesting and they seem to be really excited that got the spanish speaking skills. i've also submitted my 'request' to become a submissons programmer for next years film fest. I would be so tremendously happy if that happens for me.
So next wednesday a week from today (!) danny and I are off to Prague! Besides being a much needed holiday, it is a trip in celebration of our 1st anniversary:) I am so excited as it looks beautifl there. lots to see, including my old friend belinda...plus lots of excellent yet cheap beer to be drank. i will be sure to post the pictures when i return.
ugh i wish it was next wed already so i could be thee and not here. although a little bit of temping isnt too bad i suppose, money in the pocket and all that. oh when we get back i am off to glasgow to meet up with a girl i met during the film festival who is doing her PhD in film studies at glasgow uni. i expressed my interest in possibly doing a phd and she wants me to meet the faculty. Ive got some reservations due to the subject matter, as I dont know if the Uk is the best place to do it since the resounrces might be limited to latin american cinema texts...oh and a strong advisor as well. but we will see.
in fashion news i got a lovely coat from H&M of all places. its a blue based plaid with pleatas in the back, sort of 40's meets the future. sort of zac posen. go H&M.
