It's been over two years since i've posted on this thing. So i guess i'll just fill you all in on what's been happening.

- Finished film school.
- Got a job working for an AV company.
- Moved into the city with Emily.
- Almost finished work on my first feature film (and while it has been a year and a half, it should be done by december).
- Shot a series of tour videos and sketches for the latest Drugs tour.

Wow. When you try and think about what you've done with the last two years of your life, it really makes you feel like you haven't done too much at all. Something annoyingly missing from that list is: FINISHED MY SECOND FEATURE SCREENPLAY.

Have to totally get off my arse and figure out what my next project is gonna be. As for now, i'm fishing around for more music video projects.

I might update this thing more regularly now. I don't hate it as much as i used to.

EDIT: EVERY POST AFTER THIS POINT IS NOW SET TO PRIVATE! I WILL CONTINUE TO POST, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO READ PLEASE ADD ME AND I WILL ADD YOU BACK!

UPDATE: saw V for Vendetta. Hung with Emily heaps. Saw Ross Noble at the Enmore. Finished my editing project after hours of struggling with livetype late into the night and being thrown out of the suite by security. Seeing V again tonight. Bored. Hate updating this thing. Might quit soon.

This week consisted of going to school a lot and making sure all my projects are getting wrapped up on time. Editing, and Production Schedule. Not much work needs to be done for my Wednesday class. I saw a few movies, here's the low down:
When A Stranger Calls (remake)... Complete and utter shit.
The Weatherman... Good film, good performance.
One Missed Call... A Miike film i didn't like so much.
I still haven't seen Goodnight & Goodluck, or Zathura so that's planned for this week. Oh, and V for Vendetta came out, so that too. I am so bored. Sundays are the worst. This entry is being aborted... now.

On friday i got all glam'd up (LIE) and went to the theatre with Emily (who looked amazing!) and saw Suessical, the show that Phil, and Troy, and Ben are in. I had big time doubts about the show, but i quite enjoyed it. It was just cute and fun and silly. You know who else is cute and fun and silly... nevermind, i'm sure everyone is sick of me talking about her by now. Afterwards i met up with Gav, who was being held hostage by Webb, Rohan and Gangsta Lee, in one of the most daring drunken sieges yet. So, yes, I went to the Catholic. We talked crap for a few hours and had some beer, and then we all left rather early and drove around greater macarthur looking for food. In the morning, i got up and watched a totally amazing Korean film called Memoirs of Murder. Then i went online and found out Spike Lee's new film had an advanced screening on and arranged to go see it with Gav. I then went inside and watched numerous episodes of John Safran's Music Jamboree. So, i saw the late session of Inside Man, and it's the first completely mainstream studio picture by Spike Lee and probably his best in years. It's a totally amazing heist film, with a completely odd and quirky plot and characters. The music and style is at times a throwback to the heist films of the 70's, a la The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. It's as usual, a platform for Spike to explore race and class issues, but this time not at the expense of a kickass heist film. The only REAL heist film i've seen in years. When i got home i talked to a certain someone on my mobile 'til 2 in the morning, then i went to sleepies.

i'm waiting for an email from Moey that if it doesn't come in the next three hours i'm fuckety-fucked-fucked. on top of that it's raining. life is kinda ewww sometimes.

i spent much of the weekend at Gav's and some of it with Emily. Our senstadium cinemas opened on friday so i'm gonna go check them out tomorrow before school. Besides that... blah blah blah, same old.

i'm gonna actually have to go to school tonight. i think were in production again, so this is good, i enjoy being 1st camera assistant muchly, and focus pulling is one of my specialties, not to mention operating a dolly. i think i got a big weekend ahead of me too. not bad, last weekend was kinda boring.

The last month or so with Emily has been amazing, the best yet. I just thought everyone should know.

i got my L's the other day. That is all.

Over the past week or so i've spent a lot of time with Emily, practiced my Driver Knowledge Test, purchased a vehicle, and soon i will book my L's test. Also, i'm actually kind of bothering to look for a job soon. I think i will coincide the getting of my license with the finding of a job, and then i'll decide if i really wanna be a full time student next year. Also, the oscars are on tonight, so expect me to bitch about the results afterward. Cya then.
