That was quite the hiatus I took there. I would like to say that I was traveling the world experiencing grand adventure, illicit affairs, and performing great acts of heroism. Nope I was Denton's bitch. Last fall was fine and dandy, but this spring was ridiculously stressful. Worked on sound for two shorts. Got through my first post sound project relatively sane and learned a whole bunch of new stuff. I also jumped onto this Doc project with a classmate. We finished a short version in May and are going to work on a long form over the summer. I am really excited about this project. First my partner is aces, extremely talented and just a fun friend that I can actually work with, which is new for me. The project is also really fun and has the potential to get into some festivals. I am really excited about it. I have also committed myself to only one more year here in Denton. It wasn't the original plan by far, but I got a job offer I couldn't refuse. Actually the great thing about the gig is that it is a guest/interim thing for one academic year, you got to love those bottom of the ladder teaching jobs. Anyway it is going to look awesome on my Vitae, especially when applying for Doctoral programs and it is low commitment. I can easily do Denton for one more year. I have Jen and the amazing house, Tisha, Val and everyone at CI. And some great freelance gigs coming up. I am pretty happy with the plan.
This summer is fairly low key except for one big free lance gig and working on the long for of the Doc but again my partner is so great it hardly feels like work. Went out last night with Jen and Christy to see The Proposal totally not my bag at all but it was at times amusing and I have to let Jen take me to the occasional rom-com because I'm always taking her to depressing indie dramas that make her cry...plus Ryan Reynolds really isn't bad to look at. We also went to see "Away we Go" last week and it was so great. I am a million times more in love with John Krasinski. It was a fantastic film.
So this is my reintroduction to you my neglected little blog, i will be nicer and visit much more often I promise. I really did just need to time to feel all the the crap I needed to rather than write about it and then ignore it. It has been a year and I can't help but wonder what my life would be like if I hadn't lost her. I could be a parent right now. It still occasionally knocks me on my ass to think about it. And I shouldn't dwell on the "what could have beens" but it is hard not to. It is getting better though, a little bit at a time.
