So...

As an update to yesterday's post once I got to school things got even better. In my Fiction since WW2 class our first big paper got pushed back to April 10th from April 5th. Then after that I had my Film and Literature class but our teacher was over 20 minutes late to class so everyone made a collective f*ck it and we all wrote our names on the board to say we came then we left. So it was quite the easy start to coming back to school after break. It was a nice and fortunate day for me. I hope this streak continues for me.

Onto other news my DP and Sound Guy just got back from their trip in Europe so I will be talking to them shortly either today or tomorrow to get all the dates officially marked down for film Voicebox. From that point I hope I can still rent some nice lenses to pair with the 5d Mark III we are going to be using for filming. Lets hope all goes well though.

Final bit of information here I am going to be making my next experimental film today so on Friday I will hopefully be posting that to Vimeo for everyone to check out. It is going to be a little while until my next short narrative piece comes out or at least until I finally get off my butt and finish Love is Undead which I have to do soon, I just can't bring myself to do it for some reason.

Selling Everything

Today turned into a huge sell sell sell day. I went through all of my stuff and made a huge pile of things I want to sell to get rid of. It is almost all old video game stuff that I just don't want anymore and at this point it is looking like I couldn't give this stuff away. A few years ago I did the flea market once and made out like a bandit but that was before the economy got "bad." Now it seems like no one is buying but everyone is selling. When I wasn't selling junk it seemed like the exact opposite and it is funny how that works. Otherwise it was a day to get ready to go back to school tomorrow...after an extended spring break (since I didn't go to school on the Thursday before) I am not ready to go back. I want to just keep having way more free time then I know what to do with and being able to work insane hours (even though it kills me). This break wasn't fun really it was more like a time to face the issues I don't tackle during school because it would drive me insane if I did. So unfortunately I did a lot of working, fighting, getting ready for my film, and not enough basketball playing.

Once this semester is over it is a year off of school for me and then going back to get my masters...then the plan is to become a professor and then at the same time make films.

P.S. I am selling a lot of Sega stuff (Sega Saturn, Genesis, 32X, Game Gear, Nomad, Dreamcast and a whole ton of games). If there are any items you would like to see if I have or just wanna talk about film feel free to email me at mind_confided@yahoo.com

Last Day of the Minimester

Well today is the last day of the minimester for me here at Towson University and I couldn't be anymore excited to be honest. After today I have all week off of work and school which it seems is already getting booked up with film jobs and hang out times lol. It is crazy that I have to schedule hang out times even if I have been doing it for a while it is still pretty crazy to me. I remember when I could get outta school and everyone would just hang out and do their thing. Now it is like hey what you doing tonight followed by either oh working or nothing lets chill or we figure it out days ahead of time. It sucks and it is irritating at the same time that our lives are dictated by such a thing as a job. I guess these are the questions everyone asks around this time in life. I think we question and question until due to lack of responses we just accept everything.

Sorry for that side conversation with myself. Yeah today in about 20 minutes I am going to turn in my final project which was the same thing as the last one but I had to create stills instead of finding them. Then after that I take the final quiz which will be 20 questions, maybe hear some lecturing in between or after and that is the end of that. From there it is a week of freedom! I can't wait.

Minimester Time

Well today is the start of the minimester for me at Towson University. I was basically forced to do it because I was 8 credits behind this past semester and kind of need to take 2 courses just to catch up. Luckily though next semester I could pick whatever I wanted except for one course which was MATH (my worst enemy!). However it should be chill just 2 classes a day Monday-Thursday 3 of the 4 days staying until 10:30 at night. Sounds bad, but I can handle it, the nice thing is parking won't be an issue since almost no one does the minimester at Towson.

In addition to that I came to the realization that this week I probably not be able to start my reviews as planned due to my computer issues. The nice thing was the guy who built it finally figured out the problem which was one bad stick of ram. That one bad stick was causing constant freezing and restart issues. I did have 16gb now it is just going to be 12gb of ram but from what I saw online 12gb should be more than enough for me. I hope it was just one stick though he wasn't really too specific on the matter. Either way the computer works and I should have it by Friday finally done. After that I gotta go into overkill mode to get through the Corporate video project which was supposed to be done like a month ago...I will get it done.

Official Break

Well today was supposed to be the Samurai video day but my DP had to postpone again. Usually I would be pretty upset over such news but today I am actually a little relieved. This means I get a break, yes an actual real live break where I can take some time and just relax. The next time we are thinking about filming isn't until the first week in January so I am cool with that. Also yesterday my teacher was mentioning something about meeting to go over the corporate video projects but I have been in break mode so I haven't really been worried about it. Yesterday was the last day the labs were open until January 3rd so we aren't going to try to meet again until then, so I am officially off the hook for a little bit. It is a big relief to say the least.

However I still have to finish up the music video for my friend Kane Mayfield which we gotta get some more shots for and then we will be all good to go!
