dreams, dreams, dreams

new dream!
tasha showed up at my door one day, looking very frazzled (but very attractive, obviously) and said, "JAMIE!  thank God!  no one at [my school] will take their clothes off for me!  will you pose nude for me?!"
clearly i did.  it wouldn't have been a decent dream had i refused.
pictures got taken, in all their nude glory, and tasha had the sudden idea that we should go show them to toph.  i also thought this was a fan-crappin-tastic plan, so we rushed over to toph's room and proceeded to show him our artistry.  he, however, was not impressed.  he actually got ridiculously angry and threw the stack of prints out his third floor window and they fluttered all over campus.
i had a minor heart attack.

i will notify you the next time i have a good dream

vandas

Why hello there.  Great things are happening in the life of me, that's for sure.
Well... not in all aspects but let's not dwell on communication issues.

As of last Monday, I have an internship with David Vandas, a local director/producer/editor/screenwriter.  I work for him 24 hours a week, editing for the most part.  It's pretty great.  And my professor is also offering to hook me up with editing house contacts around my parentals' home.  Excellent.

So basically, I must now become accustomed to early mornings.  The only time I have gotten up before seven this regularly is back when I went to Disney World... and that year Freedom's Song went crazy in high school and had mad rehearsal times on Sundays.

In other news, the California road trip for Spring Break is almost completely official.  Heidi has tentatively said yes to going.  I really want to go!!

That's all for now.

Mr. Grinch

i had never read these lyrics before tonight.  however, i wore my mr. grinch socks today and decided to find out what the majority of the song was actually saying.  if you have never read the lyrics, or just need a reminder, please have your day enhanced by this moment.


You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch,
You really are a heel,
You're as cuddly as a cactus,
You're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch.
You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel!

You're a monster, Mr. Grinch,
Your heart's an empty hole,
Your brain is full of spiders,
You've got garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch.
I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!

You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch,
You have termites in your smile.
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch.
Given the choice between the two of you
I'd take the seasick crocodile!

You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch,
You're the king of sinful sots,
Your heart's a dead tomato splotched
With moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch.
You're a three decker sauerkraut
and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch,
With a nauseous super "naus",
You're a crooked dirty jockey
And you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch.
Your soul is an appalling dump heap
Overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of rubbish imaginable
Mangled up in tangled up knots!

You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch,
You're a nasty wasty skunk,
Your heart is full of unwashed socks,
Your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch.
The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote,
"Stink, stank, stunk!"

just when you thought i was cool...

most embarrassing moment of my life.
i was in toph's room and all of these people kept coming in to say hi to him and his roommate.  it became a massive group of people who i really didn't know.  it was fun, though.  so i was just standing there, leaning against the wall... i'm not kidding, i was not moving AT ALL.  i wasn't talking, or moving my arms, or shifting my weight.  i wasn't doing ANYHING when my ankle said, "hey you know, i don't like being upright and in fact, i haven't rolled in a while so let's get this show on the road."
recap: i was not moving a muscle in my body when my ankle rolled and i toppled to the ground.
the room went silent.
*crickets*
"did that actually just happen?" says Tia.
"who's been drinking?" says Tom.

it was even worse than that time i accidentally flashed an entire car of Trinity students. 
i'm such a graceful person, it's redonk.

oh the opportunities

alright so here's the deal.
Finale Editworks was a no-go, which was pretty discouraging.  however, today i met with my adviser/film prof, and he has three practicum opportunities lined up for me.  one with a local filmmaker, one with a colorist, and one heading up my own film with the little prodigies in his digital filmmaking class. 
pray pray pray!  i really want the one with the local filmmaker.  he'd be the type to whip me into shape and teach me an obscene amount of editing skillz.

back at it

i am back in canada, ridiculously early.
thus far all i have done is:
hang out with heidi
watch a crap load of harry potter and star trek
and try to get in contact with Finale Editworks.


i'm not sure how i feel about cooking for myself again.
i lack the motivation to do anything productive.
unfortunately.
that will hopefully be rectified this afternoon.
