I'm finally recovering from that silly night last night. I just had an idea for a narrative.
A few weeks ago my sister-in-law, Dee, called to tell me that my 5 year old niece, Kiah, ran away from home and moved in with Dee.
Kiah lives with my parents and my sister. Apparently one day, she came across a pair of scissors and cut up one of her dresses. When Granny found out she really had it out with Kiah. It hurt Kiah's feeling so much that she decided to move out. She went and packed her suitcase and walked over to my brother's house.
I just think it's really funny that Kiah did not really "run away" but decided to move out. How adult of her. She stayed one night at Dee's and then got homesick.
It seems like a good video. To have a little kid go up to an adult with her suitcase in hand and say "I've decided I'm not happy here. I'm going to move out"
I like the reversal of roles. Suddenly Kiah is the grown up. I think this could be a good starting point for something.

nobody knows the way i feel this mornin'at the pink last night...
around 2 in the mornin' i was so drunk i left my bag in the bathroom. I quickly realized and went back to fetch it. As soon as I found it in the bathroom, i checked inside and realized my camera was missing so i sat on the floor and started crying. 2 women were in there. they went into a stall and one by one returned my things to me, first my keys, then my camera, then my tape, all in the guise of "we just found this". I have some footage from sitting on the floor. More women came in and joined me on the floor, started bitching about romantic relationships. needless to say i left shortly thereafter.
thanks for coming y'all who showed up. silly night there, can't wait till Saturday.

Congratulations. I had a great ime. I still think you should start a video podcast like stephanie was saying. Except I would make it lots of really short shorts, so people could subscribe and receive the latest videos. I would totally help you set it up if you want.
God luck cleaning up for saturday.

It was definitely worth the five minute drive to see your shorties. I would say it would have even been worth a 30 minute drive. I'm glad you got your things back, cause that would have sucked.

going insaneI'm going around the clock. I have 3 hours to get this reel together. Then I head to soyeon's house. She is having a party lil b-day thing for some art grads and I'm going to dub my shit out to mini-dv while I'm there. Then there is a possibility that I could get drunk. Considering the fact I've been awake for over 24 hours, again... I'm not sure if that would be wise. I'll be so happy when this is over an done and I'm sitting in some weird art place in Greensboro, NC, sweating my vulva off, thinking "what now?"
I've been making audio today. It's insane. My throat hurts. Y'all ever heard my preachin' voice? I'm up to 2 or 3 packs of Marlboro reds a day. This I blame on Courtney. She brought back all my teenage angst. Damn I should go live on her couch in Portland. Ok, enough rant I'm going back to editing. Time to fuck with Schopenhauer, hehe. I enjoy making fun of the dead.

I'm really excited for this video. I remember feeling that way so often as a larva. I was really never happy no matter how good things were sometimes, and would talk about leaving, but never had the balls to do it.
Most of your other stuff had a really great mood (espeically the crossroads piece), but there was no story or plot to be told to the viewer really.
I'm a plot/story junkie, so I was kind looking for anything that resembled a plot during the screening, but it wasn't that kind of show. Sometimes indy films (really really indy) will have a great plot and not have any mood or charcter, but you have that part nailed. I can't wait to see it, it's bound to be my favorite Robin movie ever.
