And I have no privacy...not now anyway.

This article in the Wall Street Journal....I'm still unsure if this is a good thing, or a bad thing, but it certainly makes you aware that there is no such thing as privacy anymore...

Yes, I'm bored and don't want to do data entry. But this article from Slate today is too funny not to pass on. Enjoy!

Tell me why....

...It's Christmas.

I love Vince Guaraldi and A Charlie Brown Christmas, the music from...and equally loathe all other holiday music...just. can't. stand. it.

I love Christmastime in New York City. I can't wait to be back there to soak it all in. I equally loathe traveling during the holidays, and the physical shock of leaving the warmer climes for the misery that is winter in the north. I don't care what you say, you can keep your freakin' snow. Bleech!

I love gathering with friends to celebrate. I loathe the capitalism that blindsides us, and favor making gifts and/or giving to charities in lieu of useless do-dads. (I have yelled at Mom for years about donating to charity instead of buying those stupid Campbell's Soup gift sets that she always gets us. I loathe Campbell's Soup, too.)

But mostly, I just like the pretty lights. And the tinkling piano jazz that Vince so wonderfully brought to life. There's so much more that could be said but for me....That's all.

I am exhausted. And delirious. And ecstatic. Everything went well. There were moments that do not need mentioning, but for the most part, it was a huge success, everyone had a fabulous time, my feet are dead, but I have a lot of photos which I will post here once I download them. Met a lot of cool people.

And am happy to report that I finally get my life back. I need a shovel. There is so much built up shit to dig out under from, like a mountain of laundry, bills, cat love, etc. but life is great. I am happy. I am happy here. I have projects ahead of me, and Fall is finally here. I'm lovin' life. At last.

Last night I was able to get my spook on when I bailed on the film fest after party and headed to a nearby friend's house party. As I was about to leave, the fog started rolling in off the marshes and lent a most awesome creepy atmosphere to the most haunted city in the south. The air was damp and smelled of October and I couldn't have been more happy if I had been trick-or-treating.
  
We stood out on his back balcony and overlooked the rooftops and buildings of Savannah as the mists rolled by the waxing moon. I was quite enamoured with the sky and soaked in as much of it as I could before I excused myself to take in another party. There, the theme of the night was Alice in Wonderland and I took some hilarious photos that actually made me laugh so hard my stomach hurt. It was a lovely experience. Home to bed by 2 and all was well.

There are always days where you just have it up to HERE with people, today being no exception, but again, the day was gloriously warm and sunny with the slight smell of fall in the air, a hawk in the sky, DB Sweeney waiting to fly in and be picked up by yours truly (and no, I will NOT say "toe pick" to him, so stop asking) and the wonderful animator Patrick Smith is already here and surprised me, so it may be another party night. Very exciting, all over again!

Though it would be nice to eat more than just popcorn during the day, but that is asking a bit too much now...

I have missed Halloween every year for the last 5 years, because it always falls during film fest. This year is no exception, but the day went well. Got to listen to Liev do a Q&A and tell stories from his experiences, the man is brilliant and helped me solidify my decision to stay here and pursue my MFA in Performance from SCAD with a concentration on Directing and Acting and a minor in Cinema Studies. One of the cool film professors said that was fucking awesome. Because it is. I look forward to pursuing it.

Things ran well, and we were just talking about how much we love to fucking swear. I can't live without it. I tried. It's pointless.

And coffee chocolate chip with the new Sprinks from Leopolds is the best late afternoon pick me up. And so now, we are almost halfway. This is the mellow fest. Life is going to be fine. Hell, it is fine. But I am sick of popcorn, to be sure.

I miss Samhain, but the moon is gorgeous. I'm tired, but happy. On with the show!

Better day. Slept in, though around 8:30 the calls started, so it was more like I buried my head in the covers for an hour trying to ignore the blazing sunshine and phone ringing while dreaming of certain lovelies.

The temper has cooled, though there were a few snags that needed to be ironed out, but I ran the show tonight and everything went really well. Despite some impatient gomer who informed me that the show was supposed to start at 7, what was going on? (It was 7:09 and I told him to take his seat. Bastard.)

I love my job. I get to meet Liev Shreiber tomorrow in person. I said hi to him as he was passing through several times. AWEsome, awesome bloke. Naomi is a lucky woman. All in all, I will be able to regain some energy tonight, though I really, really wanted to see The Last King of Scotland, and I got pulled out in the beginning to report the way things ran, and once I am interrupted from a film, there is no going back, so I will have to wait until it goes to wide release. But from all I've heard so far, it's incredible.

There was some concern about backlash because all of our films for the most part are heavy subjects. Excellent films, just heavy. But then, tell me. What comedies do you know of that premiere at festivals? I don't think Wedding Crashers hit Sundance first...I'm sure there are a few, but I can't think of any right off the bat. Though, to my awesome relief, everyone is loving the daytime screenings, which I was directly responsible for helping to select. I am not the final say, but I offer up the ones that should be strongly considered. I am very, very excited. Just  quietly so.  And my messy desk is driving me mad! Gotta save some energy, for the marathon has just begun.

I work hard. I work my ass off. I stand for 15+ hours a day during film festival. The LAST thing I am thinking of is being funny, or having a sense of humor. I wake at the crack of dawn and return to bed in the early morning hours of pre-predawn. So. If I ask a question such as "are we ready to go?" or "Is everything okay?" and I get a response other than I was hoping for, I am not going to think, oh, wait, he's joking. I'm going to fucking panic. Why? you might ask? Because certain days my boss likes to crank the pressure and watch me every single second, and I had already screwed up by starting the first screening without making sure the judges were in the audience, so I was a little stressed already. So when I heard "no", I balked. When I heard "I'm kidding" the temper button was pushed.

I have come to terms with the fact that I have a very, very short temper. It's gotten ugly lately.

Tomorrow will be better. I have eaten very little and am beyond exhausted and it's only 9:12, I have to be here til at least 2am. And move furniture. And I think the screening is over, I better go. I may break my rule of not drinking during festival. Yeah.

The good part is, I look fabulous despite my temper and everyone is being really nice and lovely to me. I'll be alright. I just have to learn anger management. Or take kick boxing classes.

Zero hour was excrutiating. Had to put to bed some bad shit that had gone down in the last few weeks, but to bed it went and that is done and dead. Yeah!

So. The festival. What an interesting day. Smooth, calm, mellow, though a bit hectic at times, all in all, everything is going well; the boss that I usually worry about is being great, and the other one is just ignoring me, so all is good!

I'm tired and my feet hurt a bit, but I've gotten a lot of complements and love from everyone in attendance, flowers from a special friend, the only friend that ever sends me flowers, I think, but that's ok. I think I will take them home with me and put them in my bedroom.

All in all, this is going to be good. I feel confident, I know where I'm at, all my hard work is being brought to life in front of me, and I got to watch Babel this morning all by myself. It was fantastic. Everyone should see it.

More tomorrow! Stay tuned!
