Well, our film made it into the regional finals. I'm such a nerd I wrote a script to check the website every 10 minutes and email me if it changed. Friday afternoon I got an email with the finalist list. So the final is tonight, 9pm. I'm kinda nervous now that we've gotten this far.

Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, I'm sorry I'm terribly slack and haven't thanked you all individually.
Part of the reason for that slackness is that I moved house and haven't had an internet connetion at home. I have one now, whee!
The new house is great. Really, really good. A Peter Jackson film, The Frighteners, was partially set in my...

Yeah, I've met her a few times thru emma & M - we all had dinner at their place a while back and they showed me their film from the last 48hr comp.
i don't work with E or M, known them for years through my ex, and various other intertwined and incestuous (in the tiny wellington sense) channels.

~ Found a flat! It's a little two bedroom house with a woodburner, about 10 minutes walk from town, in this tiny street full of old houses and lots of green stuff for the cats.
~ Tattoo appointment on my birthday (1 week tomorrow). So SO excited.

sounds like my neighbourhood...if it is, it gets colder.
tattoos are so much fun, i'm well underway on my new adventure - though sticking to the sheets the night of a new addition ain't so much fun or so pretty.
happy birfday, have fun

~ How is it possible that I feel worse during the weekend than I do during the week?
~ Best weapon against winter is definitely an electric blanket.
~ We almost found a flat today but they gave it to someone else. Le sigh.

~ Finished The Dark Room last night. That was really by far the best of those sorts of 'escape from a room' sort of puzzles.

Yikes!! Cat piss on stearo?? You beat me, hands down!!
You're still trying to settle the flat thing? Seems like that's been going on for months!!
How you been, girl? I've not heard much from you in ages!

Yeah....I'm not a great photographer by any means, but I like to try 
. It's actually a photoset that we shot over a year ago, and didn't think would be up to par, so we decided not to submit....and then on a whim, she changed her mind and sent it in and apparently it was up to par .
Yeah, Cloud 9 is where I was working....I have an open invitation to come back whenever I want to. And I do want to at some point. I would actually love to live in Welly longer term. But right now I'm trying to jumpstart my career writing musicals, and, much as I hate to be here, that requires me to be in the states. So I probably won't get to move back for another 5 years at least--whenever I feel like I can write from wherever and still have my shows considered.
You ever coming to the states? You could always crash at my place in chicago....that is, once I move into a new less-stinky flat.

Today there were topless girls walking around town with body paint that read, "This is not an invitation to rape".
Also, there are not enough hours in the day to do all the things I should be doing.

I get the topless girls =/= hot thing. Just, I dunno, even if it's not hot it's kind of hot.
Uh.
My fantastic girlfriend is not a big SG fan, but I'll see if I can talk her around.

It's been a while, friend. How you be?
I've been up to many a variety of thing over the past few months, but nothing lifechanging. Other than starting a job, which means no more uni.
Beyond that, I'm pretty much the same.

Happy Waitangi Day!
~ All moved in. Not unpacked and I had a wardrobe malfunction that means I can't hang any clothes up so everything is all over the floor, but nothing too serious.
~ I went on a road trip for the last 3 days around the South Island which absolutely ruled. I have expanded so much - all I've done is drive all day and then...

~ Lately I feel as though I'm acting like such a girl. It makes me nervous that my behaviour falls into the expected 'girl' stereotype - when I talk to friends more and more I feel like I'm in an episode of Sex and the City.

Hey there,
Just linked over from Jibbys page to see who you were.
Tell ya what, if you're feeling bad, just think of me over here in Canada, up to my ass in work and very soon to be up to my ass in snow. It was -10C one day last week.
That should be good to help you have 2 nice days in a row.
Smile

It's good to be back. Is your new flat a sweet little deal? You should have a flat-warming and I'll magic myself there.
I'm sure it can be done.

~ This week is shaping up to be much better than last week.
~ A present arrived from tigerpig. Lovelovelove! She is the bestest person EVER.
~ I'm going to pack up my house and my cat and move in with a friend. No more living alone. I said to her that I pee with the door open, wear my underwear around the house...
