No matter how short I want this to be, it goes on and on...

Don't got much to say or update on, but thought I would check in and see how everyone else is doing. I got a text message this morning from an unknown number and it turns out that these people need PA (production assistants) to help out on Smallville on Thursday and Friday (Maggie gave them my number). So I texted back, saying I could help out on Friday and it looks like I'll be doing that. I'll be getting paid, which is good, but apparently the hours are really, really, long, which is bad. Anyway, it's still an experience, I guess and to be on the set of a show will be cool, even if it is just mediocre work.

I'm also really close to finishing my second documentary short -- we just need one small scene to fill in a gap (but my partner doesn't want to do any more shooting because she doesn't feel like it, which is a big letdown because I'm willing to do it). Wednesday is the final edit, I think, and after that, the film will be sent over to people at the NFB.

With the other film project I'm working on with the film student, that's going well, I think. He pitched the script to the class, and I think the class has to pick a bunch that will go on to be pitched again to a group of directors, who then pick a bunch to produce and make. Hopefully our project will make the cut!

I guess the last thing i wanted to add was that my dad sent me another e-mail wondering about where I go when he phones and I'm not there. I just do some errands or go downtown for editing or back to school to work on that script, but just stuff like that. Then he "advised" me that if I'm dealing with drug people to "RUN" from them... and then something about how people track down criminal records... it's permanent the rest of your life... and I'm thinking, "You think this is what I'm doing?" Seriously? I didn't really know how to take it, so I sent him an e-mail back.

Ann! Do you want to do anything funky for your birthday this year?
Chelsea! I guess you're not coming to the show on Thursday? That's alright.
Lily! I guess you might be coming to the show on Thursday? You must!
Joanne! How was going back to the states?

Does anyone want to go to Playland with me before September 28? I was supposed to go with school friends but it rained and they're not here anymore...
