Awake. Have only slept a couple of hours after some intense late night packing and sorting. Just finishing off some emails and correspondence before packing the computer away for some fun travelling and more working. This is turning into one of the longest weeks I’ve had in a while and it’s only Wednesday morning… morning… man.
I had other things to post, but I can’t remember what exactly and I’m out of time.
So here’s some lightsaber fighting squirrels in the park.
Just typing that sentence took a lot of backspace key hitting cause I keep mistyping and spellling things wrong. Along with that sentence.
Super tired and been editing for the last day or two in between working at video store, so haven’t had time to rest or chill or hang out with anyone as I always hope to do, but never do.
Have to go to work in a moment, when I come home I’ll still have to finish up some editing and capturing before packing and then a little sleeping, but then some driving to Auckland in the morning and then more working and editing and blaaaaah… I need a break.
Next week I’ll be in Auckland prepping and working on a one day show along with some drinking here and there of course. Have also recently been offered quite a variety of indie film work as well around the place, but have been totally slack in getting back to anyone about it yet. As much as a I love it, it’s hard to make time for no pay gigs, or at least all of them. We’ll it goes in time. There’s also the factor my correspondence for the last week with basically everyone from all aspects of my life is totally shit.
Meanwhile, I am so ridiculously hooked on watching clips from NBC’s To Catch A Predator at the moment. It’s like my new crack. That and continuing a massive clean up of my computer. But man, these pedos…
Sneaking suspicion I’m either getting sick or am being invaded and controlled by a cabal of baby-murdering gnomes from another dimension. Just like the media.
On my never-ending quest to procrastinate actual work and things that need doing, I’ve been organising and freeing up my way too full hard-drives. Of course, I could have been writing or doing something productive while waiting for files to burn to discs, but meh… you get more internet stuff and I get to close some tabs.
One of the most random flash animations I’ve seen in a while called Michael Fantasy.
One of the most random series of photos on some guys blog post called Today is the Day.
So along with not smoking (two weeks now), I’m attempting to spend August on not buying things. Well, non-essential things. Last month turned out to be quite the spend spree for me with four to five trips back and forth from Auckland, the watching of many movies and buying of many many DVDs and books. Hell, I’ve still got about fifteen to twenty ordered from amazon and ebay shipped in from overseas (and overseas shipping sucks these days). So yeah, the rest of the month is dedicated to spending only on bills and food. And not junk food either seeing as I’m also trying this whole ‘healthy thing’ now. Something that would make “2007 Chris Tan” sick.
So that kinda leaves August with the cause to finish reading and watching all the books and DVDs I’ve bought and borrowed rather than stockpiling them like a cultural nuclear winter is on the horizon, which of course is bollocks as we all know the no-culture stupid virus already hit us during the mid 90s.
Oh and part of not buying ‘non-essentials’ includes the buying of alcohol. You’d think this would be something horribly drastic and a little bit of a stretch for me, but no. With how much I’ve stockpiled of that and reserved. Big no.
So yeah, that’s about it. Here’s a video/article on the blowing up of a WW2 bomb in London. Awesome.
And I’m late on this, but this is a super cool video series by this guy and his site Where The Hell is Matt? and it’s smile inducingly great.
Posting to this blog is sometimes like showering and eating and sleeping for me, I keep forgetting when the last time was and when I should be doing the next one. Actually, add laundry, haircuts, bill payments, rent payments and the expiry dates on bought foods. Ah well.
Anyway, I’ve been busy obviously. The last of the film festival was great catching two out of three planned films plus the IMAX of Dark Knight, which was just as awesome on the second viewing and I could honestly go a third time and not care of the cost or anything else. It’s that awesome.
But the crazy storm season of the last week is starting to go away, Dr. Ezy is having his birthday bash tonight, I’m coming up two weeks of not smoking (bar a couple I had last week while playing poker) and generally, everything is alright.
Oh, one suck incident is that I found out at the last minute and missed out on attending a Mark Kozelek (of Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon) concert at the King’s Arms in Auckland. First the Mountain Goats cancel and then God tricks me into setting up an awesome gig the first weekend I’m not in Auckland after being up a retarded monkey’s nosepicking number of times. Thanks God. I’m gonna crank call you later.
Oh, but here’s a video to cheer anyone up. Plus this, or this, or this, or this.
