30 Hours of Hot, Steaming, Editing Love

So on Monday Lindsay / Ange / Bryden / I all got entry permits and endeavoured to throw an all nighter in the school editing our final film. As such, I am now finished!... 30 hours of straight editing later.

I will post it on the Internet as soon as all my actors see it. The soundtrack is mixed by yours truly and currently knocks my socks off out of orbit. Perhaps I will attach my singing to it and wow Canadian Idol with my talent next time they come down. "Take that!" Sass Jordan, I will scream, as my body does the Robot of it's own volition to "Middle Eastern Sound Number One" mixed with "Hip Hop Drum Beats 3".

I have no idea if I'll pass, but if I do it'll be by the skin of my teeth. ... teeth of my skin? For some reason I want to put "Teeth of my pants" there, but I'm fairly certain that's not even a saying. What the hell. It is now. I will pass this year by the teeth of my pants if I pass at all.

This is not entirely okay by me, but it's my own fault. Procrastination + Underachieving has finally had it's rogueish way with me and has resulted in all night editing stints coupled with post midnight college forays, playing the Mission Impossible theme song whilst Lindsay and Bryden and I make a desperate run up to the vending machines, avoiding the surly night Security Guard at every turn.

He is so cranky. I really think he just needs a hug. Or perhaps he's just lost his kitten.

A guy walks into the dentist's office and drops his pants.
"Whoa, buddy," says the dentist, " you don't need to do that here, I'm a dentist, not a doctor."
"I know," the guy says, " but there's a tooth in there!"

Thankyouverymuch, don't forget to tip the hostess.

ImageHi. My name is Sarah
and I live by the sea. I like pirates and vikings and my audio cassette tape player. I am 25 years old and pretty much covered in sand all the time. Also, I like cookies. My profile.

ImageHey Sarah, what are ye listening to?
Lots and lots o' stuff, like St. Germain's "So Flute" and "Ghosts" by Ladytron. I can't believe Robyn is out with new stuff and it doesn't make me want to show her love by jabbing rusted forks into my eyes. It's actually really catchy and kind of endearing. I have been looking up the songs from So You Think You Can Dance all year, too, because it's all awesome and at heart, I'm still a spandexed little dancer ready to punch Annie in the face and show Daddy Warbucks a thing or two about tap musicals.

ImageI'M READING:
Walking Dead:

    Frigging awesome. One of the best books about the Zombocalypse I've ever read (one of the only good books about the Zombpocalypse I've ever read). I think there's something about zombies that is so hard to construe via text ... I mean, honestly, you can only use the word "purtrid" so much, and the visual, awesome aid of comics really helps.

ImageI'M SEEING:
Quarantine, a movie that's kind of the equivalent to being on the Disney spinning teacup ride, except, also, there are RABID ZOMBIES ON BOARD. Honestly, I missed quite a bit of this movie because I spent a good portion of it with my head nestled into my boyfriend's armpit attempting not to vomit. The camera movement is, at times, insanely choppy and all over the place, and those of you prone to motion sickness, you might want to skip this one. I'd give it about 2 1/2 stars out of 5, because it's decent -- I'd even watch it again if I could keep the room from spinning.

ImageBOOK CLUB!:
The Kite Runner. I love this book. It wasn't necessarily a book I'd choose to read (these days I appear to be more interested in books geared towards teenage girls.), but I'm so glad I did. Beautiful writing. Next choice... I'm going to volunteer the Bell Jar because IT'S THE BEST BOOK EVER.
