Hummm...well, karma was listening when I was saying to Norm how happy I was I hadn't got sick this year post-48 hour film comp. Karma was listening and went "Oh, hey, yeah! Have a cold!"
Either that or I picked it up off Morgue at Slayer's East. One last parting gift, huh Morgue? Thanks.
The screening of our movie was on 9.15 on Thursday. It occurred to me afterwards that I should have advertised it to my online friends and got more votes for our movie...heh. It went well. There was a moment of panic and 15 seconds of blackness before our short started but then it played and it was good and loud and it got laughs at the jokes, and all was well in the world.
I think our film suffered a little from following the hilarious Unnecessary Sequel to 'March of the Penguins'. Les Promenades des Moutons was very very funny, especially the redonkulous sheep suits worn by three actors. It was a good film, styled like a mockumentary making of kinda playing alongside the actual movie. I think it deviated from genre a little but yeah. It got my second vote all the same.
Working in town is dangerous to my bank balance. I bought new jeans this week because I saw Glassons had them reduced to $30. I'm glad I did, my old jeans are all getting a bit old and thin. The new jeans are thick and warm and black with white stitchings. I like them. Then I went to the Warehouse and bought a $3 Ninja Turtles tshirt to make into something cool.
On Thursday I got given my own Trade me tshirt. I asked for a double XL so I can make something neat out of it. Not sure what yet. Maybe a pinafore with a little frill?
The weather has been very nice, especially at working-to-work time. I like walking along the waterfront in the sunshine, it really wakes you up. It should also be making up for the amount of fast food and delicious baked goods I've been eating at lunch time just because I can. I have seen some ducks in the water in the morning but that's it for marine life.
I went to the dentist yesterday morning. I love my dentist. He did three fillings in about forty minutes. I was a little late to show up and I don't know how long it takes the anesthetic to kick in, so I can't be sure, but it felt fast. I was only 15 mins late to work. I did have to deal with the face numbness all morning though, and that makes me miserable. Still, the teeth don't hurt at all today, so once again I say "My dentist is the best!"
Today we're going to the Food Show. I have to write my final essay for my school course first, and I am clearly procrastinating by writing long blog entries and eating mandarins.
Finally, I will tell you how good at sleeping I am. I went to bed at about 9.30 last night. I read Sunshine for a while and then started dozing. I must have fallen asleep at about 10.15. I woke when Lee came to bed, and I woke again to have a drink. (My cold started with a nasty sore throat) I woke up again when the alarm went off at 7.38am. Then I woke up again at about 8.30. Lee got up, I opened the curtains to read. I read Sunshine felt myself nodding off again and thought 'why the Hell not?' and woke up again at 10. Aaaah.
Take that sleep deprivation!
Take that weakened immune system!
Jenni wins!
