Walking in the snow...

So for the past week I have been hard at work, working on my 50 minute documentary entitled "Xanadu" and after 2 weeks of filming, and a very rushed 2 days of editing, I am finally done with the first cut of the film. It was quite a nightmare editing because I had over 145 minutes of footage and a very slow editing software. This was actually a project for my English class. My teacher liked it so much that we are now working on a final cut, with HIM writing the script for a feature length documentary. Its crazy. I got quite a bucket full of compliments today after I screened the film during 1st and 2nd bell. I got a few phone calls as well. Its strange though, not even I think the documentary is great. I mean, its ok. And its a great feeling having your hard work appreciated. I've slept about 4 hours in the past 3 days. Everyone's telling me to get some sleep, but oh well. I left school early (I had to walk!!!) because I was really tired, and since my English teacher was screening the film during all bells, I had this weird tickle in my stomach. As I was walking in the snow, I realized a group of people are actually watching my work right now. It was a great feeling. I guess having a film shown worldwide would probably give me a heart attack...in a good way.

Tomorrow the trailer for "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" hits the internet and I am excited beyond belief. For the first time in my life I will get to watch an Indy flick on the big screen. Tomorrow afternoon for Valentine's Day I'm going to the flick show with Juliette. It should be fun. Oh and for those of you avid readers, yes, we have kissed.
