ok, so its been a long time.  I get that.  But I have a perfectly good reason for not writing.  wait no I don’t.  Does the excuse me?  whatever.  So here be what happening.

Moved…to Plymouth, not so sure about it.  Live with my sister and my brother.  Never see either that much.  Really miss living downtown and my old roommates.  Now instead of a half hour walk I have a 10 minute drive and a 30 minute bus ride.  Kinda sucks but whatever.

Transferred to two Noodles store.  First to Plymouth for obvious reasons and then to Golden Valley because they where short 2 shift and 1 GM, and apparently I don’t need jobs, (according to my dad) but I don’t think he really understands how much of my own money I spend.  whatever…..new subject

School…ok 3d class sucked because I was the only one to turn things in on time, even for the final project.  Nobody was done….does anybody realize how much that pisses me off.  I wonder if I got the grade simply because I was the only one to turn things in on time……could be part of it. No competition.  whatever

new subject.

Fall premiere week

ABC could be losing its touch.  The new show private practice featuring a spin off of greys anatomy following Addison to Hollywood, I sadly predict that it will not last.  However, I will give it a couple of weeks.  A new show needs to have a few weeks to establish themselves.  However, in recent history, spin offs of great shows never really turn out very well.

Grey’s anatomy starts up tomorrow, hopefully they have a better season than the first half of the show.  The last half after the fairyboat episodes the show started to turn around.

Prison Break started last week, it has promise, should be a good season because they always have a good season.

I think some of these shows are getting the right idea like brothers and sisters (abc).  They hire big name actors for a show that may have a semi-good plot line, yet the people watch because they are their favorite actors.

Mindless Shit?!?!?!?!?!?!?

could be, you decide.

Movies:

Tons of movies have been coming out since we shall say June.  That is a good month.  Starting but in no apparent order: The bourne ultimatium, Transformers, Pirates 3, Shoot ‘em up,  American Gangster, 3;10 to Yuma (wasn’t what I was expecting, but ok),  resident Evil (always good to see the end, although I hear that it doesn’t end it leaves you right back at the beginning), The kingdom, Elizabeth the golden age (looks good, interesting) Good luck chuck (although I also hear that it is just one step above superbad, and that was bad….too much “dick” and not enough storyline), The Brave One, Eastern Promises. the list just goes on and on.

new subject.

On vacation with my parents.  my dad is down in Miami for business only to find out that they guy that he is down here for screwed up and got the dates wrong, and my mom is down here with me working half days (apparently so I can sleep).  The vacation has been kinda a bust, simply because it has been rainy.  so far no tan.  Hopefully though, Key West will get super sunny and I will have a tan or at least a burn to come back after break from.

break.

There is always a subject.  what to do over break.  After files all you want to do is do nothing yet, you know that you should do something, however, you do nothing.  Doing something is always nagging in the back of your mind yet, you want to break.  The question is, is that I’m at the point when I need to start putting together my demom reel and preparing and prepping what to put on there, but the question is if i was at home right now doing nothing, would I be actually doing work? I have ideas and things that I want to do, but I don’t have the software (on this computer) to do the work.

Enough for one day.  I will attempt to keep this updated more than I have.

society rules.

I would guess the main topic of discussion is growing up.  Everybody does it.  Some people ascend to adult hood sooner than others and some never ascend to adult  hood.  But in the end the average person ascends, most parents have a dual expectation. They want their kids to get out of the house and go and live their lives yet they still want to be able to tell you what to do.  I think everything has to do with age.  If you think about it, one is not legally able to drink until the age of 21, therefore, you can’t go out to the bars with your friends that are 21 and you can’t go out to a few of those because your old enough to go out and make your own discussion without the influence of your parents at the age of 18.  At 18 your can actually go out your able to vote and get into most concerts and by the government you are old enough be on your own make your own discussion and you are old enough to legally smoke, and live one your own, but not old quite old enough to drink.  Drinking, not that is an interesting subject, simply because most people drank in high school, there were the few that didn’t which is alright, but when you get to college almost everyone drinks, there are the random non-drinkers for the time or the day depending on who is driving, but when you think about it, by the time you reach college almost everyone has been drunk or at least had a few drinks.  Where I was going with this I don’t know, but I think it is kinda weird and funny, probably like most people who are under 21 after you turn 21 you don’t care, but most that are under 21 you don’t think it is fair….at 16 you can drive, 18 you can vote and go into the military, 21 you can drink….which begs the question in young people if you can vote and die, why cant you drink?  A suitable question…but I forget where I was going with this therefore, I will leave this at this…we get older the more responsibility we have…

NOT HERE….

Its funny how when I take an example of yesterday, had to go to work right after class, when I get there I do a few minutes of scrambling around and finally clock in only to realize that we were super super slow and there were three schuduled front workers to close so one manager had to go home, me or Emilio.  I voluntereed simlpy because Emilio took my shift for me on Sunday, and quite frankly I didn’t care about hours this week, I have a second job so I had some extra cash that would make up for the hours that I lost.  So I get out of work super early, I knew I had to go get milk because we were out and it was my turn so I head to Target to get some milk and also look at bed sheets and comforters since I am getting a new bed here shortly, only to realize that the target that I went to didn’t have the ones that I wanted so I just got milk, getting home at 7ish I decided that I was going to watch Third Watch since that just happens to be my show that I am watching, knowing full well that I should watch one episode and then do homework…yeah didn’t quite work out that way….watched it the whole night long and didn’t use my time wisely and now am kicking myself in the ass because I have a lot of work to do in the next couple of days because I have a very busy weekend ahead of me with work and shopping for furinture with my sister and going to Pirates and filming and just a whole crap load of crap to do.  So not even the point here.   But it is funny that I realized that I didn’t eat dinner last night, usually I eat at noodles, but I wasn’t at noodles for very long and didn’t eat…I just think it is funny because of my eating habits when I am not home vs when I am home…besides the point……

It is surprising how little talk there is about Pirates, since it is opening and supposed to be a blockbuster hit however, since many audiences saw the second on opening weekend and were highly disappointed you wonder if Jerry can redeem himself with this one, it was said on imdb.com that there may be spin offs of the original cast however, the triology is done.  I personally plan on going to see it however, I have to wonder is this going to be another Matrix type thing?  Audiences were hoping for a second movie however, when their wish was granted it wasn’t the greatest, many thought that the third one would redeem itself but that was not the case, in any case audiences have to wonder is Pirates going to do the same thing?  Audiences wanted another pirates after the first just as the Matrix fans, both of the second films flopped…is history going to repeat itself?

Personally, I think it is funny…I know this co-worker that I work with at the cage, however, we have had an atercation already only it happened to be about two years ago almost, however, when we work together she hods her purse keeping it on her lap like when she isn’t there I’m going to go through her stuff…and I think it is hilarious simply because she is the only person that I know of that does that and it strikes me as odd as to why should would set her purse on her lap the entire time….because if you think about it I keep entire bag here and just leave….

Running out of time, shall continue at a later date.

Today…

Today…. its hard to think of today as a day.  Today is my little cousins birthday, he would be 17 today, only he died a month before his 16th birthday….Not a lot has happened within the last week….went to a movie Disturbia…..good movie, I recommend you go see it.  I did not follow the norm and follow 30 some odd million people and go see Spiderman 3.  Which to I’ve heard mixed reviews about.  It might just be one of those movies that I rent or use other means of getting it…..my computer is finally getting fixed today, which is a good thing because I think I’ve been without it for about a month.  Registered for classes yesterday and have to be here everyday monday -friday which isn’t different for now, however, I actually have class on friday..which shockingly is the first class I have ever had on a friday at college.  actually not that exciting of a schedule.  pretty boring in fact, however, I don’t have the same teachers anymore that I have had for quarters upon quarters.  Completely forgot that sunday is mothers day until my dad called me at 630 in the morning most fathers would realize that their daughter is SLEEPING at that early in the morning at least on tuesdays.  I’ve realized that thursday is the only day that I don’t work.  I so just want to be at home right now and be laying in bed, just chillin’ the last two days have been super hecktic and I should of  ridden my bike today but it was soooo niice out that walking I thought would be a good idea. but now all i want to do is be at home, and it will take me half an hour to get home by walking whatever…..

holly shit

Holly shit…I know its been a while.  I have started a few blogs, but never really finished.  Oh well.  To update…..

It is now May, hard to believe it.  It is strange how much changes in a year.  It is simple, only 365 days in a year, yet when I look back at last year its like holly shit.  What has changed….time. friends. life. work.  It is actually really sad.  I am almost in my final year of school… Have to decide if I want to go to the VFX festival this year….it sounds like it would be super exciting to go, but it is in the weekend of finals , and I should be packing, because I am moving to Plymouth to live with my sister and soon my brother.  I am transferring noodle stores which is cool.  Instead of being able to walk to school I now have to bus, lost touch with some friends, which is really sad…have somewhat tried to rekindle the friendships but doesn’t seem to be working to well.  My pc computer motherboard fried two weeks ago on account of a broken usb port and it still isn’t fixed which couldn’t come at a worst time because all of my footage and things I would need to fix to get a demo reel together for the VFX festival is all temporarily unattainable which puts a dent in work.  And I can only hope that I will have my computer back and running by next monday, which puts me right at the beginning of mid-term.  Got my job back at the cage, always cool, was kinda missing the perks of the job.  Tons of work.  I now currently work monday-wednesday for sure all the time and then at least two more days.  it feels like I’m super busy all of the time.  What else is new…thats about it.  Got a new car always exciting.  procrastinating on homework…I don’t know what it is but I have no motivation to do work and it is just like, I want to do nothing for a while.  Break will be super busy….moving, working, portfolio show, filming, demo reel work, intership searching, micro-managing all those things, at least have to go home for a little bit.  The random shit that builds up and up.  Am excited to move but not.  Should really start packing soon.  School it seems to be going alright, was super motivated to work on shit at the beginning and now have no motivation, got a new phone, got a new computer case since nobody can believe that plugging a small flash drive into a broken usb port would have fried my motherboard.  Need some new music ideas…getting kinda sick of everything that i have granted I haven’t listened to everything I have because you have to be in the mood for alternative…rap..rock..ect…  Am still the super cold person as always, still have to wear 3 or more layers to school.  Want to get a cute puppy, which I’m told you cant get at a puppy store, I’m told they are the reject puppy’s ..poor puppies.  I think I’m annoying my co-worker do to my random selection of music, and quite frankly I dont care….we got off to a bad start a couple of years ago and it is staying that way…quite a silent cage.  Trevor is transferring to Plymouth…don’t know if that is a good thing or a bad…good because I guess I will at least no somebody there, bad…..because its ??????Honestly have to say that I miss filming for BG…would hope that they have started to complete editing but unfortunately it does not appear so….would like to work on other scenes the just the one that they gave us all…by the time they get it edited a lot of people who started to work on it will have graduated.  So much has changed in a year, yet so much has not…still waiting for the rest of the rule of 3 to kick in….my family goes on vacation without me but I wouldn’t have wanted to go skiing anyways….it would be niice to be able to do something with them, other than going home for the weekend and doing homework the whole time.  Have to go bed shopping because when I move I am getting a new bed.  cant paint my new room…its actually really small compared to the one that I have now.  now it is time to stop procrastinating  and go back to homework.

a while…..

So, I’ve been told be a certain someone that its has been quite a while since my last blog, while I don’t argue with the fact the dates are right there.  But yet, I wonder is the reason I don’t really write anymore because I really don’t talk all that much anymore.  I still kinda keep up with people from school, but honestly, because classes and schedules don’t line up I don’t really see a whole lot of people.  A sad but tragic fact.  So…how about that snow.  Personally, we had a enough snow when it was the beginning of Feb.  I really don’t want any more snow, especially all of this shit that we got now and it is still snowing.  go figure.  Classes……

Coming up on the end of the quarter and as I get further and further into the degree and closer and closer to graduating, I can’t help but notice the amount of projects have gone down 2 projects a quarter, sometimes 3, but in the end I get why.  We are advanced and intermediate students…we should be taking more time on our projects, our projects are harder therefore require more time.  All in all it hasn’t been that bad of a quarter as always there are a few things I don’t like about it.  A teacher I liked I am growing to not like him simply because of the way he is in class, outside of class its great, but talking through movies is a big no-no for me, telling me the end; the beginning; and the middle also a big no-no.  Plus, I get to have the pleasure of having him for a teacher a one more quarter (I think), maybe that class it will be different, the likeness varies from type of class.  Materials and lighting…love the lighting hate the texturing…uv unwrapping I hate, there has to be a easier way to do things.  Intermediate VFX is going good, learning a new program, do really have it quite yet, and was planning on working on a new project today, but realized that I have forgotten to copy the footage that I am going to work with over to my hard drive .

Other news, the rest of my family is currently on vacation, they left yesterday to go to Wyoming for skiing.  In a way it is kinda sad, because if you think about it, when I’m on spring break only my mom and I can do something.  Originally I was supposed to be in Detroit to take my grandma back here to Minneapolis, but that fell through, so I now have a week to were I could of gone somewhere, but didn’t really have the time to plan it, and then it would be just me and my mom, which is good don’t get me wrong, but my dad wouldn’t come with simply because he takes so many trips out of the year, he is out of vacation time.  And my sister wouldn’t go also simply because she doesn’t have that much vacation time either, and my brother could go because he would be in school.  Kinda sad.  Work: what a bitch, working a lot which is good, because I find that when I work I am more productive with my homework vs when I don’t work, which is really odd I know.  I’m moving to Plymouth come summer, going to live with my sister and brother, hopefully it will be ok.  other than that not too much going on.

DAMN

Its been quite a long time since I’ve last written, I read some other blogs and have also noticed that it has been some time since they have written,  something to conclude from that? Who knows.  However, if you are a friend then you pretty much know what has been going on lately and you guys don’t need a blog to tell you, however, if you are a avid LTD reader had have stumbled upon this blog site as randomness occurance and have been checking wondering where the hell is a new blog, well I can help you out with that.  Vacation with the fam, it was cool, Colorado not so much my thing anymore, simply because I really have no desire to snowboard 5 days a week.  School startd up last week, all the classes seem so far to be pretty awesome, lots of work along with lots of reading, however, it should be a good quarter, an enjoyable quarter.  Intermediate VFX looks to have some cool projects headed my way, and I get to do stuff for burial ground.  Materials and Lighting is also pretty cool.  Work lets see, kinda sucks, walking in the cold wether really sucks.  Yeah, I started a blog and for some reason it didn’t auto save and is no longer here, so yeah not really in the mood to be writing amore…so for now you guys are just going to have to live with the fact that this is a really short blog.

Being home….

Its an odd thing, most college students can’t wait for the end of finals, can’t wait to go home, see friends and family, relax, take a break from school, do nothing, get drunk (back like the high school days).  The Holidays people are taking breaks doing nothing, just chilling, however, the college life is way different than the home life that we left.  I don’t however, I get the same feeling when at home that I do when at school.  However, there seems to be a loss of independence at home.  I can’t very well go out at 11 at night and not come home until 4 am, or very well not come home at all, I mean come on most parents would be pissed.  However, I came home today, I unpacked, and then was basically ignored, how crappy is that.  Tomorrow I’m expected to go snowboarding, however, I’m gunna have to snowboard all week next week, and preforably that is too much for me.  For Christmas, my family and some family friends are going to Steamboat, however, call me spoiled, selfish, ungreatful, but I would much rather spend the week between Christmas and New Years at home, just chillin’ or somewhere warm.  Now try telling that to my family, that I just want to stay home.  For the past 3 years the holiday times I’ve traveled, I just want to stay home.  I’m excited but I’m not.  I feel that snowboarding all week is going to cause a shit load of stress, something that I’m actually trying to avoid during break.  I don’t know, it just seems to me that going to Colorado is really cultivating to a few of my family members interest.  While I have an interest in snowboarding, I in all just want to relax.

I don’t know there is just something about this holiday season that feels off, can’t explain it however, I have this feeling, it could very well be the news that I got about my grandma (over the phone), word of advice to you all, never give any significant others or family, friends for that matter bad news over the phone, at least go see the person you are about to recive bad news too, its much more decent or I don’t know what the correct word would be…in human?  I don’t know.  Maybe it is because at school your friends, significant others become your family.  It is completely a different atmosphere when at home then when at school.  At school there is this independence, at home there is still the sense of independence but there isn’t.  It is a different feeling.

I don’t know, there is just something that is wrong.  I’m sure everyone has had the feeling of something being wrong and not being able to put your finger on it, it is a part of life.  Maybe what is wrong is the sucluity of my situation.  From a long time ago, I screwed up, which caused distrust among my parents and I 3 and 1/2 years later, I still feel like there is that distrust, what do I do with my time away from home?  Do you do things that would make “the family” disappointed?  Am I being good, not staying out too late, not getting into trouble.

Sometimes I wonder, do parents really know the truth when their child(ren) go to college, do they know about the parties? the drinking? the sex? I mean come on, parents can’t be oblivious to what is excepted in today’s society.  Can they? I mean the average college kid has done at least 2 out of the 3 a month into college.  Honestly, if my parents found out about some of the stuff that I do when I’m not under their roof, I think it would seriously scare the shit out of them, because I have a half and half split.  I like to do somethings that are excepted by society today, that wasn’t lets say 30 years ago, but don’t like to do others.  I wonder, when I look into my parents eyes, do I see disapointment? or is it concern?  Is it odd that when I’m at home I am actually at home?  I’ve basically lost contact with everyone that I graduated with, and no what once was freqent e-mails and facebook does not count.  Half the people that are friends from High school are bascially friends on facebook.  I mean come on, I have “friends” on facebook that I graduated with but in all honesty haven’t talked to them since graduation other than the happy birthday on facebook.

In all reality of the situation, I want to be home, but don’t.  I love being at home, but don’t.  My freedom it always feels like it is cut.  If I want to do something its why are you doing that?  The typical.  You know, I probably know why this Holiday season is “off”, but am just too heartbroken and too scared to say it out loud especially in something as informal of a blog.  Random strangers read this, people that I don’t really know.  They are gone, and has hard as it is on me, it has to be harder for my cousins how are family, they are my brothers, just not complete blood.  This is the first Christmas that they are gone, they were gone last year, but they weren’t really gone.  He was supposed to be back already, which means that we would of spent Christmas together.  One wrong turn changed not only 4 lives, but many more.

I think I am beginning to hate the holidays…not the days themselves because they bring in family togetherness and things like that, but the time it brings.  If my grandma dies (which I’m told she is declining fast) then that would me that someone that I have loved has died in the vacinity of every holiday.  Being at home has made me realize how much everyone of those people have been apart of my life.   How one death has set in motion a chain of events that set in motion more chain of events.  If someone had done something different would the out comes have been different?  Would those chains be broken and be forced to write and set forth new chains?  Can people actually defy they laws of the world?  When people die is it a plan of some higher power (whatever your (readers) believe), or when people die is it because A. it is their time? (but what if your young? too young? how do you justify that? or B. people die because of the choices they have made?  is it a combination of both?  More than likely, nothing is ever a simple and easy answer.

new topic:

Finals:, when well, however, got 2 grades that I wasn’t expecting one was good, the other not so good.  The not so good one I question, could be due to the fact my teacher just broke up with his 5 year relationship and was having an extremely rough time and just flew through grades and wasn’t really paying attention?  I don’t know, but a B+ while good was unexpected.  However, the A- that I got was extremly unexpected, good, because I think the teacher finally realized all that I had been doing, more since mid-quarter but diffenetly almost the same amount of work when the quarter first started.  I have this excieted scared feeling for next quarter.  Two classes are with two different teachers that I’m not too sure about.  One because when I first offically met him I told him I had to go home for funerals and he laughed at me. (maybe that is his way of cooping with bad news) the other teacher I don’t know what I did to piss him off, but I don’t think he likes me very much and I can tell that simply because of a previous quarter.  I worked my ass off in that class and he has the nerve to give me a C.  I’ve been told that my work was better than others previous quarters and they got a better grade.  So I wonder, what did I do to piss him off?  Do I have to ask for more help? because that was kinda the way I had to go with the other teacher.  I don’t know.  Next quarter will be different for sure.  Good different, I don’t know.

I don’t know, being home has this certain effect on people at least with me.  It is this love hate relationship.

for now that is all, more to come, hopefully.

Bitching

For those of you who actually read the title, this is exactly what this blog is about, I’m got to bitch.  For those of you who are in my Intermediate Broadcast Graphics class, sorry if this pisses you off but it is the way I feel.  Honestly today, was a complete waste of time, yes it was good to see the stuff people worked on but, ok, if a project is due and we’ve had three weeks to work on it, there is no reason as to why almost no one in the class had anything done, and then to come back a week later and to see that some people still weren’t done and others still only had ½ done, is really bad.  I thought today was going to be a simple show the teacher what we corrected, but no, it was like today the project was due when it was really due a week ago.  Come on people, this is an intermediate class, we have all been here for at least 3 quarters now, get with it.  And what gets me is that some people don’t even care if they pass or fail the class, some people just don’t do any work and then don’t turn anything in and what, the class is supposed to…………..what?  Give you leansing because you were too lazy to do your work or maybe lazy isn’t the correct word, how about didn’t want to do the project.  People your paying 1300 for this class, at least have the respect to do the work and show up more than once every two weeks, just so you don’t time out.  Come on.  It just gets me.  And then English 2, what is with this personal research shit, using “I” in a research paper?  That’s fine and everything, but don’t dock me because I don’t write in the style you like, so what if I grew up never writing “I” in a research paper, if that’s they way I was taught I’m gunna do it, what is wrong without giving my opinion on the subject matter, who cares.  Whatever, enough bitching.

WOW

Wow, it has been a while since I last blog, however, I look at the calender and notice that it has only been 2 weeks, however, it feels much longer than that.  To recap:

I hope everyone had a niice Thanksgiving, filled with togetherness of family and friends.  We shall start recent and move backwards, while this might make for a boring blog, we shall try something new.  Saturday, I was supposed to go to Wild Mountain to teach children how to snowboard through an organization called Blizzards, however, I realized that I had so much homework to do that it would not be possible to go to Wild Mountain on Saturday and go filming for Burial Ground on Sunday.  However, the choice was a no brainer, basically since one Burial Ground is an independent study for Production Studio I and snowboarding is for pay.  I needed the extra boost in class.  So Saturday I got up around 10 or so do start doing homework, now, recently I have re-picked up a show, and have been looking online to find the episodes that I have missed just to catch up and get a better idea why people are the way they are.  So I started to find the episodes, while finding those I started on my Broadcast corrections.  I had decided that once I finished re-doing a company logo for a visual effects company, I could do two things, one take a shower, and two watch an episode of One Tree Hill.  While fixing the project only took a little under 2 hours, I am quite happy with the work.  Now, I have already turned in all the projects for the class, there were 4 projects in 1 project.  So like 4 mini projects rolled into one.  I decided that because to fix these projects is only to get a better grade that I would fix the two that most people in the class liked.  So I did, I then realized that I was further along with my homework and after my shower, ended up puttsing around.  However, I did exercise in the form of StepMania (a computer version of DDR).  And then I did something that for some reason means a lot, why it means a lot I don’ t know, it just meant a lot.  Friday: I got up early to do some homework simply because I wasn’t going to go to do Black Friday shopping and my teacher told us to not take the last weekend off, however, due to Burial Ground and a snowboard clinic I was unable to do any of my homework last week, which made me feel extremly behind, so I got up early to try and make up time.  This proved to be a mistake, simply because I was at my house, with my parents, sister, and brother.  I hardly got anywork done, simply because my sister wanted me to do things, and then I had to help my mom (which is no big deal, she just needed help because she just recently had surgery and can’t lift anything heavy).  Then however, my dad had asked to take a look at my laptop to see what music he would be interested in having, however, upon opening up my library, I realized that it was corrupt for some reason, so I re-imported my library and had to delete all of the songs that were corrupted and that took forever. However, after trying to fix my library my dad had decided that it was too much work, however, now that I had started cleaning up my library for him I had to finsih simply because those files were slowing down my memory and I needed it to do a project somewhat efficiently, however, after I seemed to have finished cleaning up, my dad decided that it would be worth while to take a look at what I have, which took time for him to decide.  Ultimately I had decided that I was going to go back to school Friday night to get some more homework done, that would be better done on my pc.  However, after the 90 minute drive I realized that I can no longer think of what I want to do, so I went to a friends house and we procceded to go to another friends house to hang.  Turkey day, was awesome got to see a lot of family I hadn’t seen in a while, got to do a lot of catching up, and some random talkings, actually got a real meal, since I live in an apartment and I don’t really have time to make an actual meal.  Wednesday, worked and school, didn’t feel to good at work, but eventually got over it.  Tuesday, class all day, got back papers, read, random class things.  Monday, presentations for broadcast…sucked simply because a lot of my classmates didn’t have anything to show, and I worked my ass off to finish them (or maybe that was the Monday before….I don’t remember).  Sunday had a snowboarding clinic, it was good, lots of stuff to learn.  Saturday,  Burial Ground, I was basically clean bitch for the duration of the day, and then door bitch for the night, I guess which is ok, simply because cleaning I was out of the cold and was moving around, so I wasn’t cold.  Door bitch kinda sucked simply because the actor were acting great, and I couldn’t see it.  We were filming in the woods at night, so you need lights, with no outlets we are forced to use a generator that is relatively close to the mic of the camera (with in a hundred feet) so we kept the generator in the car and closed the door, however, this causes the car to get all steamy from the carbon-dioxide and cause the generator to over heat equalling a bad thing.  So I was assigned to open the doors between takes, this also served as a good purpose too, simply so the truck where the generator resided in wouldn’t blow up, due to the carbon-dioxide and the closeness of very flammable liquids…one could say gasoline.  Filming took quite a lot of time, however, we were done, faster than expected.  The crew was told that film wrap for the day would be done about midnight which ment sometime around two in the morning, however, we finished filming before midnight..it was awesome, after getting back I proceeded to pack a bag and my snowboard gear so I could go play the Wii, it just came out and Jason had gotten it.  I have to say, I prefer tennis the best, I really like that, however, I lost a bet to Jason and now get to take him out to dinner, which is awesome.  We are going to make it a day of it…The choices of restaurants are The Cheesecake Factory or the Macaroni Grill…both he has never been too, we went to Southdale Mall tonight to have dinner with my aunt and uncle and grandma before my aunt and uncle left for back home.  We decided that we should go shopping (no there are differences between shopping and purchasing)  we will probably end up going shopping just to pick up the necessities…you know, socks a couple of other things, things that family members wouldn’t get you.  The random things that you need, but wouldn’t expect them to be gifts.  After Saturday, I vaguely remember what went on.  However, I am feeling better and am no longer in what you could say a depressed mood.  Which is good, it comes and goes, just like everything else.  So until the next blog, I hope everyone had a good turkey day, and got to catch up with family and friends, and Happy Holidays <- there is a big debate about that…should it be happy holidays or should it be merry Christmas….a debation, however, I personally feel that happy holidays includes everyone, even those that do not celebrate Christmas, and then on Christmas, it is merry Christmas..this way nobody is offended and everybody is included, no matter what religious or non-religious holiday you follow, so once again….. Happy Holidays
