WHY do Mondays come so damn quickly?!?! Ugh. Last night was fun though. I got me a box of wine ("Boxwine" is a great name for a band or film production company, btw) that will last me all week. I had some by the pool yesterday and later, broke out the wine glasses. Me and the baby mostly relaxed all day except for grocery shopping, light housekeeping, and visiting J. Fu and her new baby, who is a very good baby indeed with NO crying or fussing while we were there! My baby and I took J. Fu's dog for a walk which the baby and dog both enjoyed. I didn't get around to going to the library or watching Burden of Dreams or tackling any more of my transcription work, but after 3 glasses of wine I didn't care much. And I slept GREAT last night!
So Friday was very cool as well. Even S came with me and the baby (though they skipped out for some of it to go to Wendy's, exasperated sigh!). I got to meet the great Sam Pollard and I felt a little silly introducing myself as "first-time filmmaker." But he was very gracious and we watched, or in my case, re-watched Act 3 of When the Levees Broke. Afterwards during Q&A I asked a brilliant, sublime and eloquent question about how Spike's movies always use music so amazingly and effectively and how involved Sam Pollard was in the music choices and how the music affected his editing choices, etc. B/c music is certainly affecting me very strongly in the ways I am planning out my movie!
The Saturday high school all-school reunion thing was ok except they lost my trailer DVD and I had to run to the car and get my last copy so they could show it as was scheduled to be shown on the program! This makes me a little nervous as that means there's a copy of my trailer floating around out there somewhere and I do not like the idea of that. Also now I only have 1 copy to my name. But anyway, when they showed it there were about 75 people in the room and everyone applauded and one lady in the front row shouted out, "It's brilliant!" which was very, very sweet! After that I ate my meal and then me, S and the baby split since there was really no one there that I knew. It seemed to be mostly grad's from the 70's and 80's, man!
Today the baby went to her first day of arts camp and that seemed to go well. She said she wanted to go back tomorrow, which is a good sign--but apparently she does not like the food. The City provides the lunches for the kids and the baby said it was a sandwich with meat, no chips or any fruit, and some kind of juice she didn't like. Gads, I hate picky eaters!!! When my brother and I were kids we pretty much liked anything except for Chinese food and vegetables. And of course today, my cast-iron stomach is legendary. But I guess we may have to send her with her own damn lunch from now on for cryin' out loud. I guess maybe I was being naive to expect decent food from the City anyway.
