Happy Thursday! Happy Blackjack Thursday at that! First of the year, hurrah. Okay, that aside, I need to make an addendum to last week's note. My policy seems to be Thursday over, pens down. But I definitely forgot FORGOT some important things that happened last week:
My new roommate Nikki went away! Moved back home. It's really sad, she was sorta awesome. So now it's just the two of us, but friends are over a lot and they're like honorary roommates. And also I'm not there very much, either, unless I'm sleeping. I love sleeping.
The other thing, less important but still exciting, is that I got my Zune back. More or less. Kinda less. Did you know that I named my first one Sora? That means "sky" in Japanese, and it was a reference to the wireless capabilities of the device. It was also for Sora from Kingdom Hearts, because I always name stuff after game/anime things. So Sora freaked out, and we sent it in to get fixed/replaced, and finally I got one back. Looks the same (except no smashed corners because I haven't thrown this one on the sidewalk), but apparently there's a different harddrive, too. So it's like new, but it looks the same. So I named him Roxas, which is a hilarious joke if you've played Kingdom Hearts II. (Roxas is like Sora, but the reborned version. It's hilarious)
Unfortunately, much like Roxas, my new Zune is messed up. Same exact problems, but just slightly not as bad. Don't know what to do about it! Still think that maybe wiping my drive and starting over miiiiight help (being the only thing in common between Sora and Roxas), but I still haven't been into IMT. Sigh.
So for this week I have been told to Not Leave Important Things Out! So right now before I forget, I'm going to mention Crabby Chad's.
Crabby Chad's is a seafood restaurant on Citrus, which we've passed kinda often. It's fun to shout CRABBY CHAAAAD'S upon passing. So we finally went, me Beth and Brianna. It was...disappointing. That's about it.
Beth would like me to let you know she is amazing, and that Brianna is going to save the world.
So last weekend I helped out on the set of Bound, one of the student studio films. I didn't really do much, I basically followed around the producer as he shopped for lunch and dinner, and then helped cook the first night. And then I just sat around and watched! It was cool. It's a pretty trippy story, and there were some creepy performances. In a luminescent white room. Yay.
This weekend, though, I'm helping script supervise on Stealing Jesus, one of the others. I hear it involves keeping track of shot details. Paperwork, really. So my helping-on-set experience will include carrying, cooking, and script suping. Hahah yay. Go expertise!
But in between these two, I worked on my own. Finished it, really. Order Up is officially done--but it decided to have a last-ditch attempt to ruin us, by not exporting the whole movie. So it's not even technically turned in. But there's nothing we can do at the moment because it's being all weird and ornery. But it looks real nice. Sounds nice. We were up til 4 and 3 in the morning the past two days, trying to beat it into submission. But it was fun because everyone was there, doing the same thing. Just need to write my own script now! Haha.
Okay, they're making me add more. They sound very angry.
After Crabby Chad's (and Target) we went to Baking Fairy, which me and Beth drove by on a previous adventure (on Friday--to Claremont and beyond, then to Pamona to my bakery). It was really cute, and she kept giving us samples, and Beth got a 25 cent discount. We'll go back!
And before editing yesterday, Beth and Jenn and me went out to Arcadia to Tokyo Wako, which I can afford from not spending money on food this weekend and last (hooray student film budgets). It was really good, although the people at the far side of the table were the sort who really shouldn't be ordering that wine in public. And then like fifty old folks fro Iowa took over the place. They all had on the same yellow shirt, and we're pretty sure they'd just come from a The Price is Right shooting. I just wonder how they ended up in Arcadia.
Oh yeah, we just had a Lost party (well, me and Brianna, and Beth watches and has no idea what's going on). This week....okay. I called the twist ending like half-way through. Kate and Sawyer were way cute. Everything else was kinda blah. I think Desmond is #5.
Oh, also today I got mail from Carolyn, and that's always a day-brightener. ^^
Okay, I'm being told that I didn't leave anything important out. So I will see you another day!
