For some reason I have the feeling this week will move impossibly slow. It is extremely hard to write a script. I start filming this weekend hopefully. I'm not too excited to be in the film, but I am excited to be directing and shooting. I think that will be my niche.
--In other news: my film will be developed on Tuesday. I'll try finding a scanner so I can show you any of the good shots. I'm pretty much excited. I also miss Austin. I miss being able to do what I want when I want. I'm going to get a Nikon camera relatively soon. Expect more pictures within the upcoming weeks.

Sorry, that was a huge pile of rambling thoughts. I just woke up, this is how I think.

Early Experimentals

I watched these few short experimental films during my debate camp (when we had a free day). I highly recommend them if you ever get the chance to just sit down and watch something you have never seen before. These are all.. oh.. i'm not sure.. 25 minutes tops? Some of them are only 10 minutes though.

In order from top to bottom:

- Len Lye's Kaleidoscope
- Kenneth Anger's Scorpio Rising
- Stan VanDerBeek's Science Friction
- Maya Deren's Meshes of the Afternoon
- Harry Smith's Early Abstractions

these are wonderful.

Written on Paper Dolls

I desperately need a camera. I am waiting to finish up my current film roll that is in my Diana, and then I will take that one and my color film to the store to have developed. Give me five weeks max on this. That's my time frame for the moment.

Listening to: Demons Dancing REMIX, David Wolf.

The Hunt is On.

Let the search for my next digital camera commence. This is so exciting <3

Formal

Pete and Repeat

Maybe agenda for the day: sort through clothes - find what is appropriate for school and what is not, continue new compositions on piano, sit in front of my mirror and lip sing to any song, head outside for possible cloud watching and upcoming rains, go to Nevin's and make faces at Milo, do something for the rest of the afternoon, come home and edit essay, write script for upcoming film project, watch Lost in Translation.

Current mood: penniless and content.

Listening to:

Montaigne's

Michel de Montaigne's "Of Cannibals" essay. This is a short clip I cut out of the essay. Here, he is discussing what a cannibal had told him of his own society. Montaigne then later contrasts and compares this against the modern European community:

"He lists the vices of his people that are absent in the natives' culture: "there is no sort of traffic, no knowledge of letters, no science of numbers, no name for a magistrate or for political superiority, no custom of servitude, no riches or poverty, no contracts, no successions, no partitions, no occupations but leisure ones, no care for any but common kin, no clothes, no agriculture, no mental, no use of wine or wheat." In their culture, "the very words that signify lying, treachery, dissimulation, avarice, envy, belittling, pardon - unheard of." Rather, they are a culture that values "valor against the enemy and love for their wives"- in other words, honor and familial devotion."

Montaigne's axiom: "Nothing is so firmly believed in as that which is least known."

Have I put this on my blog somewhere before? I am not sure. But I absolutely agree with this quote.

Ree-eep

Latest obsessions: necklaces, firefox, differences, arguments, pins, bottle caps, imperfect finishings, words, voices like Imogen Heap's, calligraphy, classy bitching, names like Alistair and Reginald, tights, aesthetics, Strunk and White, learning Elvish, tofu anything, synchronized voices, robot people, hearts of alloyed silver and gold (in reference to the popular saying 'hearts of gold'), crop circles, Keanu Reeve's hair from Prince of Pennsylvania, observations, human nature, crop shirts or high shorts/pants, flaws, hot tea, pastel colors, calling, grammar, adjectives that contrast, drawing eyes and lips with no nose, sci-fi, seeing nothing and then everything, incense, odorless candles, lomography, blue ink, stained paper, new dreams, and daydreaming as always.

I'm going to start using my Diana. It's about time I pulled him out.

Ridiculous Perhaps

I met a man this summer who claimed fear is the only emotion that we have. Everything else is a subset off of fear. Being sad is simply the fear of not being happy, love is the fear of being alone and unwanted. I thought of it as a ridiculous notion at first, but yet again, it is a new idea to dwell on. Maybe he's right, fear is all we have. I suppose I could theorize it's the root behind basic human nature, but it's far to late for a school night to be contemplating such ideas. Good night.

Troubled Disney?

The Black Cauldron - it might be my favorite disney movie. It has this wonderful character, Gurgi. And then the horned king, who I think, is a bit scarier then any other Disney villian.

Wanted: Camera

I miss my poor little canon. It was quite the tragedy when it broke. I'm tired of posting pictures from the internet, so here - random photos. The first is a laser pointing at the camera - woooah, tripppayy. Next two are from UTNIF from this past summer (Quick! Where's the flux capacitor? Ahaha...) And finally a photo that never made the blog.







I'm excited to start filming this year. It will be loads of fun, yeah? I reread Michel de Montaigne's "Of Cannibals" the other day. It may be my favorite piece of literature at the moment. Don't bore me with heart breaking fiction of vampires and werewolves (cough cough). Appreciation for literature in my class has seemed to drain to a low. I also just finished "The Chrysalids". Sooo amazing.

Humaniod.

School is back. What a joy. I must find time to blog somewhere in my schedule. Enjoy some of Alistar Allan's photos.
