I finally watched the end of the fourth season of Doctor Who. ( Yes, it took me this long )

Meanwhile, I need a scene for tomorrow and I have nothing. Well, I might have something, but not really, because I can't find anything that fits the requirements in the hilarious script for In the Loop, except for maybe one scene at the end and another with a humongous amount of inventive swearing and if we all keep cracking up on set, we're never going to get this scene finished. With all this hubaloo about getting actors for the shoots, I forgot that I need an actual script to shoot. Great. Oh, and thanks to this, I'm adding another show to my "to watch" list: The Thick of It, as if I didn't have enough time wasting activities as it is, although then again, I do have to be aware of the key shows out there, even if they're across the pond and ABC's planned remake of it went nowhere (they have so many desperate writers pitching them new ideas, yet the execs insist on rehashing the same stuff over and over again, come off it, already, will you?)

This post might be a little rambly. I'm not sure. I also need to remember to eat. I haven't felt like it lately and all this stuff keeps distracting it, but my stomach isn't buying it.

I've been depressed since yesterday, my hips hurt from sitting in this chair, I was supposed to go to my instructor's flamenco performance, which I paid for beforehand, but since it's in the fancy part of town every single residential street has a sign that says no parking after 6pm unless you have permit 143. By the time I found a street that didn't say that (though it had other signs, just Mon-Fri), I was half an hour late. I'd traveled so far away by that point that I would have been a full hour late and I couldn't do that. So I lost $17 for the performance and $10 in gas just to drive around.

On the upside, one of my cousins called today and guess who's also taking film courses? Her husband. And guess what he's got. Two video cameras. Movie cameras. Standard Definition, but who cares. There are film contests that require your films in SD. He's looking to buy HD, though I don't know where he even got the money for these, but the point is, he owns video cameras! And he knows editing. I've got to head over to her house this week to talk to him. I've never had a conversation with him. I've only seen him twice maybe. This family needs to visit each other more often.

I'm watching the second season of Doctor Who to cheer myself up. I've got to make sure to write something later, though. No script, no film.

I also have seven confirmed actors for the class. Unfortunately, with this whole thing I haven't had tome to find a scene for me to film. It need to be with two actors, 3 to 5 pages, and from a movie I haven't seen.
