Coolness

I just read Suzie's most recent post about Uganda, and now a post about my life seems a little mundane. Haha.

I came to the Cheesman Park area this morning to shoot some test footage for a project a lady in my production class is working on. It is about riding Vespa's and trying to go green. Well her Vespa wouldn't start this morning (for the first time ever) and so now i sit at the local Dazbog waiting for a word. I was kind of excited to film too. This is the first semester i can work on other people's projects without having to work on anything of my own. I can just help make the vision come about. I kind of like it. It seems everyone in the major is interested in Writing/Directing, and everyone in my production class has a film they want to make. I am the only one content with just working on other people's projects. So i felt a little odd in class, but it is genuinely what i want to do. If i feel inspired to make a movie i can, but right now i don't have any pressing ideas. Especially with the amount of help other people need.

I am also going to be playing the lead in my buddy Jacob's project, which is long and going to span about 5 weekends this semester just on filming. And i am in every scene. So another reason to keep my priorities to a minimum.

I am still really poor, but getting enough hours to survive now. Probably shouldn't have gotten the car, but it is nice and convenient. Who knows, maybe i will stop bitching and finally get a better job.

Looks like i got about another month of warm weather left. Going to try and enjoy it while i anticipate the cold. Seasons are gonna start changing again and i am excited for the newness.

Take care.

that is good you are helping people. you are good at that.

you should be a waiter! you can make lots of money via tips!

it is so hot here, but i am happy it is too sunny rather than too cloudy. i am actually looking forward to fall/winter because they are supposedly very moderate here. so, yes, enjoy the nice weather.

i miss going on bike rides in germany on beautiful, sunny days. we should have done that when you came. if you do your backpacking thing through europe - definitely do the bike part. there is something magical about riding bikes in europe.

love,
aley.

Oh Ming. Life is never mundane!

I am glad you are getting into more and more film stuff. To be actually doing it must be a blast! I want to see more of your acting stuff. I am always reminded of you playing Shakespeare's character.

I am so scared of winter! And finding a house! And a car! And a bed! But everything always beautifully comes together. So excited for adventures in CO with you dude!
