Sick Cats, Bald Rats, That's a Wrap
You wanna know what film school is like? Well, it's a lot like making a film. You do nothing for a long while and then you run around like mad. Some weeks are easy. Some weeks make me wonder if it is humanly possible for me to go on.
There, that phrase is nice and dramatic.
Honestly, it's at least going somewhere. I just learned that the most important thing I can do is focus more. Unfortunately, it's very hard because everything is going on around me... Matt and I just lost our most wonderful cat of 1 year. We had to put him down last month becuase of renal failure. I just got a new little guy, his name is Duck, and that's what he sounds like...
Because he's sick with an upper respiratory infection.. I had to fly back home to take care of him on Thursday. And since then, he gets very distraught if I leave him.
Sooo.... I've been a little stir crazy around the house. I think this must be a good thing, since I need to focus...but but there are so many housey things to do, like cooking and cleaning and cleaning up cat pee... (someone couldn't be far enough away from me to use his little box one night, so he peed on my chest)
We also lost on rat to cancer and that got Matt pretty hard. We didn't see the tumor until the weekend she got sick. Reminds you that pets are getting old. The other rat we got at the same time is going bald... very interesting. It started from her tail and now it's about around her midsection.
Lots of this, sadly, has occured during those busy times... like in the last couple of weeks. I've been a grip and an extra on a student film which we shot at night out by the airport. From 6 pm to 6 am three nights a weekend, two weekeneds total.
It was very cold. Very fun. But COLD.
Also...depressing. Most people sat around when nothing was going on talking about what they were planning to do after. Lots of people just wanted some little job here or there or to teach.
I can't get the bigger dreams out of my head. It probably would be a good idea. Might help me focus.
