Bono Rumors in Charlottesville
Supposed to be a beautiful day tomorrow…
Some jerk updated his gchat status to indicate Bono was in Shenandoah Joe’s. Well, he was. I updated my status accordingly.
The following conversations resulted.
The rain draws lines swallowed up the oak’s expanse
As its clamoring voices soothe me to sleep.
The grass will need clipping, and so will my soul, after this watering.
It’s been raining all day, and I’m sitting in my office, waiting for the Apostles’ Creed footage to finish transcoding. Transcoding– should have happened weeks ago, but life has it’s way with us. The monkey is on my back. I’m not sure why we use a monkey to symbolize overwork… probably because of their annoying tendencies, although Wade could tell you more technically what exactly they would do to cause discomfort. I feel a monkey isn’t the best image though. You know what I’m talking about: the weight of a grand piano on your shoulders, a tug boat of caffeine chugging through your veins. Perhaps there is a monkey, pulling grey into your hair– or just pulling it out altogether. Priscilla Ahn and Camera Obscura play in the background, mournfully moving the second hand toward the morning.
The morning makes all things better– and naps on rainy afternoons.
The Apostles’ Creed shoot looks delectable. The footage is crisp and clear, thanks for Eric. The only thing I keep thinking as I go through editing is that the director needs to be fired. I hope this is just discouragement at the large number of mistakes, and that it can be curbed simply by the shear volume of footage we have. There has to be enough fluke good shots in there to compensate for bumbling. Let’s hope it comes together. My sweat and tears are certainly being poured into it to make it come together.

“Books and Shoes”
I packed my bags
and accidently put my books
and shoes into one duffel.
I worried that the shoes might dirty
the books, but it seemed right
for books tell you where to go
and shoes take you there.
As it seems my only exercise today was a walk to the post office, I thought perhaps this would inspire health.
