8am - class 546 test footage dailies. wideshot sound wacked. lost journal of vice marceaux bloody awesome production design, esp the smallpox and blood puke scene. wish i worked on it, but an entire semester of death and existential angst in the professional world would be so depressing. wish epk was darker or at least bizarre and not just a "kid's film". all the stuff i watched as a "kid" was weird at least.
10am - production mtg. script read through w/ all depts voicing concerns scene by scene.
12pm - picked up sound equip from james's place,grabbed lunch at the UV. i got lemon rice, malai kofta & aloo baigan & james got thai soup, coincidentally editors sush & alex were there so we joined them. alejandro (director) was hovering around checking out our meal selections, i convinced him to go with the flavors of india. he did but was too hot for him, which my stereotypical mind says shouldnt be possible for south americans. we shall see.
1pm - james parked at loading dock so we could unload equip, but coudlnt move it or would be late for class, so left it. moved it during break, but then class went over and he got a ticket anyway. damn LA parking patrol vultures.
sound lab was awesome - played with radio mics, went over test footage, how to counter reverb, perspective, mixing on set, etc. i think doug's (instructor) being super nice to me, almost pandering, asking if i know basic things (and sometimes i forget details) but totally pisses me off to suspect he's being sexist, which i dont think is his intention at all. but still. maybe i look stupid. it's the glasses, they make me look like i'm falling asleep. or maybe i am stupid. or at least forgetful. damn.
got out of class at 530. brought equip back to james's. dropped off receipts for tatiana at spo, scooted home, but stopped at masjid omar for asr first, where i ran into aliyah who had a package for me :). she & hubby were off to plan the umma clinic fundraising banquet. i like aliyah and ahmed as separate ppl, but friends + their hubbies make me feel awkward, like you have to talk to the other half even though you care to only talk to the female half. whatev. married folk will always make me squirm, so i might as well figure out innovative defense mechanisms to deal.
7pm called mommy from house phone using ancient phone card. did stupid stupid thing - put cell phone on trunk of car and backed out of driveway yesterday and lost cell phone up vermont ave somewhere. idiot idiot idiot idiot doug's right i am stupid damn. being stupid costs you money in life. like money towards a new cell phone.
745 started blog to purge day's records while zippin thru emails. observation: filmmakers are high-maintenance guerilla warriors.
