So via chat reference I had 4 microfilms pulled for me to review: 2 1970's era Houston Chronicle's and Houston Post's (our defunct city newspaper), respectively. Since I am going to be working like the Jamaican/Mexican that I am tomorrow ALL DAY LONG downtown at the convention center, I got to leave Job #1 early today so I grabbed the opportunity to run downtown to the Central library to look at these microfilms, in search of the 2 actual articles about my fallen Reserve brothers in 1978 and 1979. Color me dumbfounded when I saw that the *3* microfilm readers were occupied and I was going to have to wait!!! Are you fuckin' kidding me?!?! Who the HELL searches microfilm nowadays?!?! OMG. Although there was an hour time limit the librarians had not been keeping track (of course they hadn't!) so I waited 10 min. and then blew it off. Instead I went downstairs and checked out even more books on filmmaking. I have many public librarian friends and one of them will be bribed to find and get the articles for me; in return she'll get a thank you credit in the film, heh heh.
I have sent out my press release to the 4 major local networks and several of the local major newspapers. I need to identify more news/magazine outlets. Today I will be mailing out some in-kind donation beg letters. Might as well get those going; if there's one thing Mary Kay taught me it's go out and collect those "no"'s! Because they will undoubtedly lead to a "yes" eventually! Meanwhile, li'l bro is on board for the shooting weekend next month. And last night I attempted to watch Seven Samurai, all 4 hours of it, for artistic inspiration. Oh well, at least I got through a couple hours. That movie ain't goin' nowhere!
Now I'm at Job #2 supposed to be paying attention to this webcast "Data for a Downturn Economy" so I better get back to it. I was looking forward to a relaxing weekend until I remembered about having to work the convention center tomorrow. Sunday I don't know what's going on. It would be so great to have a whole day off for once but if S decides to go on patrol I probably will too, just to get it out of the way.
