finally

[sin_embargo]

damn after many many months i completely reached then surpassed that point of having too much to write on here but not enough time/energy/desire to do so. This is mostly due to my extremely busy summer (as usual) at the film festival- which went ridiculously awesome by the way. My first year as programmer for the Mirrorball strand (after 2 years of hard work) was really chaotic and while there were times I thought my shyness/scaredy catness was going to get the better of me, I actually felt really good about what we did. Our whole programme was received really well and we've already began touring our compiliation programmes to other film fests and cinemas around the world. I met some amazing filmmakers (some nutso ones too) and got to do some really cool introductions and q&a sessions with some of them. Charlize Theron was oe of our guests and came to our Mirrorball dinner (she produced one of the docs we screened). She was creepily pretty, like she just walked off some magazine page, all airbrushed and shit but saying that she was totally down to earth and smoked like a chimney (ddnt really like that..i mean its like dude, preserve that shit!). Brian DePalma sat in on 2 of my filmmaker Q&A's and after one of them came up and put his hand on my shoulder to then tell me what a good job he thought i was doing! I don't know if he was jerkin my chain or what but hey I'll take it. All in all, it was lots of work, painful at times but awesome overall despite having like 2 minutes of sleep a night and seeing danny for 3 seconds of that. Next week, the film fest is sending me and this other guy to Provence in France to attend a festival- I can't wait. My first ever overseas trip for work!

In other news, Danny and I just celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary. Crazy its been 2 years. We went to Dublin for a few days had the best time. Met up with friends, partied and drank loads of Guinness which definitely does taste better/different there than here.
