Got distance? Yesterday, my roommate filmed her film class project at the park. I find the
storyboards,
light meters, the big clunky
Bell & Howell WWII surplus 16mm
camera, and the
actors and
actresses, all just fascinating. So, I help out from 2PM-7PM calling out distance settings for the camera,
taxi-ing actresses to sanitary facilities, lugging stuff around the park, and wrangling
Xena the
schnauser/
poodle ("schnoodle") as necessary. Today I am
sunburned, but damn, it was fun!
I did NOT blow the
surprise of the
wedding shower surprise party. It was close - the
formal invitation should have said something about the surprise
nature of the event, and the
hostess could have made mention when I
RSVP'd yesterday.
It's all part of The Plan. In the highly
structured and increasingly
planned/managed safety net that my life is becoming, today is
Plan-Next-Month Day.
May 31 retrospective: The Great Ideas were not very helpful in placing "spirituality" in The Grand Scheme of Things. I pursued Car Stuff, perhaps not as aggressively as I could have, but enough. It never seemed like The Right Time to retake the ruined pics of the train station. Didn't touch the Aptiva or Linux. Occasions duly honored. 401k stuff done. (Like preparing income tax declarations, it was much quicker and easier than I had dreaded; probably spent more energy agonizing and avoiding it than actually completing it.) Campaign: not happening unless I personally coordinate sessions, and I haven't felt like it. Yet. What made me think I would simply paint a room of my own free will? No wonder I slacked off on this stuff, I completely blew off ALL the Rewards.
