I'm in a funk and need to get out. I have no problem watching a movie a day, but find it more and more difficult to get my video projects done. Work or scheduling issues seem to keep getting in the way. An artist I know set out on a project to make a drawing a day as a way to deal with these problems. I've decided to use a Flip camera and iMovie to make one short video sketch a day. Some narrative, some not, hopefully some interesting. We'll see what happens when there are no excuses.

5.28.10 – Holidays
One of the drawbacks to the life I’m currently leading – not working full-time at any one place – is that I don’t appreciate holidays, and sometimes even forget about them. When I was full-time and working in jobs I hated, I lived for holidays and vacations. Now I have control of my schedule for the most part, but that means I often work weekends and holidays in order to get things done. I think I’d rather have it the way it is now. I may have appreciated time off more before, but I have more freedom now, which is worth all the holidays put together.
Hey, that's me too!
ReplyDeleteI'm sitting at a coffee shop this Saturday morning getting ready to polish my ms due Tuesday.
Everyone else seems to be getting ready to hit the road for the 3-day weekend.
I did manage to take off yesterday and see a middle eastern movie fest at the art museum, but I will need to work today and tomorrow. It is nice not to have that hustle of getting everything done, seen, etc. before the holiday ends.
