hello all my fans (yes, both of you)--
my schedule has been craycrazy since late august, so i have had very little time to do anything but work.

film-wise, i have (in spite of my better judgment) signed on to be production designer/art director for a friend's digital thesis film. i am in charge of all physical aspects of mise-en-scene, which is to say i'll be gathering costumes and props, helping to pick shooting locations, and creating the look and feel of the film's atmosphere. i barely have time to sleep (let alone view my mandatory daily episode or two of pee-wee's playhouse) , but i couldn't turn down such an exciting creative position, so add production designer to my long scary list of time-consuming commitments this semester.

in terms of my own shit, for those of you who don't know, i am writing a screenplay. here is what i tell everyone when asked what it's about: "it's-about-two-twenty-something-liberal-arts-school-graduates-who-get-kicked-out-of-their-brooklyn-apartment-and-are-subsequently-forced-to-move-to-a-remote-trailer-park-in-vermont" (this is said as quickly as possible before changing the subject so i don't have to talk about it more--i hate talking about myself and my ambitious undertakings). so yeah, that's what i've been up to. i also hate the second most frequently asked question i constantly receive when it is revealed that i am a film major, that being: "you're a film major? so what's your favorite movie?" sigh. if you really must know, my favorite film is fassbinder's the marriage of maria braun, followed in no particular order by the holy mountain, daisies, aguirre: the wrath of god, the tin drum, little otik, and hedwig and the angry inch. there, so now you know.

happy october, darlings.
