Catching up, Part 1: The Screening

January 21, 2005

Happy New Year Diary!

I'm sooo sorry that I haven't written in 2 whole months, since the Thanksgiving with the Big Kids, but boy has it been bizzzeee - so busy that I've barely had time to think. I'm totally glad I'm not going to that stupid high school A/V Clubs Conference that's going on for the next few weeks because now, I have time to write!!

Like I was saying, it's been totally nuts: In December, I had to finish The Marriage of Charlie Johnson for my school's A/V club screening. It totally crazy like a day or two before, like I totally didn't sleep for like three days or something, and then, like right before we had to leave for the screening, I noticed a two frame artifact in a dissolve so I had to reedit the whole sequence and make a new DVD! My mom was yelling at me to get in the car to go to the theater while my trusty little 'puter was making the new DVD. Doesn't she undertstand that this is my life??!! She says that I have OCD, whatever that means. Whatever...my mom just doesn't understand.

My OCD was okay because we totally got there since my dad knows all the shortcuts and he is, after all, a driver who is also Chinese. I totally felt like Jimmy Fallon in that movie where he's all like screaming and stuff and Queen Latifah is driving like my dad. I wish I was all grown up and was hired to direct that movie. I could have totally done it. I mean, with actors like Jimmy Fallon, Queen Latifah, and Gisele...? Are you kidding me? I wouldn't even have to like work or anything. They're like Oscar caliber and stuff! (as a side note, do you find the it weird, diary that none of those three got nominated for the Golden Globes? Hollywood Foreign Press - feh - foreigners. This is the biggest travesty since Vanilla Ice being snubbed for his performances in Cool as Ice and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II).

The screening went well, even though I had to throw up a few times. Right after the screening, we shipped it off to this other A/V Club Conference because we think this one is much cooler than the one happening now; the one in New York is like totally punk rock and the one happening now in Utah is sooooo passe. Who wants to spend time in Utah? You can't do nothing but go skiing and who the hell wants to go skiing? The one time MacGuyver went skiing, he almost died and Diary, if MacGuyver almost died, we would totally bite it, like five times over. More later, but for now, since I am not in Utah, I can totally say, "Johnny-Five, Alive!"

Diary, it's so good to catch up with you!
