drifting...drifting...

I really have nothing to say right now....I should TWEET this blog. Maybe tomorrow will be more interesting since it's my last blogging day. 4:30 is when the IJ blogging ends...though I'll keep the blog open to bitch about my life. :P FML is good but meh....I'll blog here instead. Sorry T, I never was good at keeping diaries.

My doc update

Well, it's been a struggle and it's only half finished. The doc starts of with a freakin' STELLAR opening montage sequence...montage being my favourite. It's in black and white and basically of my body cut up in jigsaw pieces - AWESOME! There is original music done by moi underneath and audio clips to tease the audience. After that it's all down hill from there! LOL....kidding. Actually it looks pretty good.

I'm now half finished the doc and will be doing more on it tomorrow after my IJ project is finished and handed in.

Multi media or the bane of my existance

I've been slaving away on my multi media project and when I finally decided to work on it, Burli wasn't working....AAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGG! So after much fiddling, I gave up and worked on my doc. Today I realized what was wrong....my damn password had expired...GRRRRR.

So, I fixed that and worked on piecing it together. HOWEVER.....since I HATE working with windows movie maker, I got smart and figured it would be easier to do it on FCE. It IS and it cuts the time in HALF! I love it. So I am now happy to say that I am half way there and it will be handed in on time. :)

The show or something like it

Well, it's now April 5 which marks 15 more days of Woodstock life. It's been an amazing couple of years and now we head off into the real world. I head back home to regroup and get ready for my next adventure after practicums and where it'll take me, I don't know.

I have to admit as excited as I am about leaving, I am nervous as well. I'm going back to my old life, getting back together with old friends and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I look forward to moving in with Steve, doing movie nights and going out to the pub with college friends but going back home will mean I have to deal with real life issues again - estate legal issues, being to close for comfort to my family and being in Kenora - which to my mind is where the root of all evil occurs.

The show must go on.

Sabian

For my last IJ assignment, I am doing a piece on Sabian's new cymbal: the 1 of 100 Artisan series which was buried  in the ground last October and will be unearthed in June. it's a really cool story and they are the only company EVER to try this. It's a one off and wont be followed but  to know that it is a company from small town NB, is so cool! 

I'm going out again tomorrow to collect sounds and get more shooting, it definitely a cool learning experience.   

Dumping my life

As most know I'm doing my last doc on myself: What it's like to live with CP. I've had a few people help me with the shooting namely Ryan - yes you get a mention...and we shot footage last night. When I came back to the school to work and dump the footage into FCE, I noticed something strange: me. 

I don't see myself from the POV of an observer so as I was watching what had been caught on video, I cringed. Not because of the fact that being on camera worries me - I could care less. It was really hard to look at myself as others see me: a cripple. My gait was strange, the way my left hand was stiff and contorted into an odd shape as I was working and for the first time in a long time I was upset about what I look like on the outside. I saw myself as a freakish, disgusting being, one not worthy of affection or care. 

So this is what I signed up for, well here goes....   

Sickliness

What to do, what to write about. I can't believe I got F-ing food poisoning from the caff food! All I did today was catch up on blogs and sleep. Oh and email too. NO MORE MAYO from the caff!!! Which sucks because I love that fattening, disgusting, unhealthy spread.

That's alright though as I am getting better and I got some work done - in between naps. Feel soooo icky. I need soup but we have none. I WANT SOUP!!!! Oh well, tea will work. This is my sick rant and now it's over.
