It's Election day.
So I elected to go shopping, redecorate and overall find a million ways to put off being interesting or creative.
But back to old business first.
How did the movie go?
It went both better than I could have hoped and terribly.
It went mostly smoothly (save when we made up problems due to tiredness and needing to find problems), quickly (save when something caused a small bump of a couple hours) and cheaply (except once we spent a crapload on pizza which still confuses all parties involved).
I attribute this mostly to a crack team of people who I place in jobs that aren't usually their main job but they are good at. People try their best when out of their element. Also I had many people who could deal with my sass which always helps.
The worst part of set was its continuing ability to piss me off and put me in a bad mood even when things are going well. As much as I want to either a) attribute it to the whole low budget filmmaking thing or b) be Lars Von Trier it still worries me. And it seemed to get worse as it went along which I, in hindsight attribute to one thing: My can't be asked attitude.
That little term was coined by Rosie Tooby and is in reference to tha fact I don't seem to give a fuck about anything so most of the time nothing can phase me.
The problem is, I really really really do care about my movie. A lot. But when I'm mad all I can yell is "I DON'T CARE!" because...well...the attitude is so ingrained and loved by me generally it's tough to ditch without careful consideration.
So for future notice "I dont care" can mean:
- I trust your opinion on this more than my own
- I agree with any ideas you have but dont have time to deal with this
- yes! great idea!
- I actually do care but dont have time to deal with this
- I dont understand what you are talking about
- you are a good actor
and probably in other contexts - I love you
So there's another deamon which ought to be dealt with to save millions upon millions of more miscommunications.
Oh and for the sake of producing something new every day here's some dialogue:
a- "There were a lot of errors."
b - "Errata."
a- "What?"
b - "The plural of errors is errata. For example: your grammar is rife with errata."

wow. That was strange. I looked for you on facebook. And now a couple days later, you're on my blog. I think of you - wandering what you're up to. Sounds like everything is.. pretty damn amazing. And you sound - as pretty damn amazing as I thought you were. Keep it up. Sans errata.

I think almost every scene of dialogue I've written has a grammatical joke in it:
“Hold on for a second.”
“Ubermensch, by the way.”
“Can I just—”
“It’s ubermensch…”
“I’m really into puns. Did I ever tell you that?”
“…think you can Coles Notes your way through regular conversation…”
“You are an uber-wench.”
