about me

Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

dumbass quote

  • "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

This Is The Film That Never Ends…

April 18, 2005

It just goes on and on, my friends.

For those of you keeping track of this disorganized filming thing, I left off telling you we were hoping to finish filming on April 7th. Well, we did film on the 7th, but less than an hour into filming I had a sneaking suspicion that this film was doomed to be forever unfinished. First off, “Sarah” (aka the girl who is always late and always has to leave early) had to… leave early. No big surprise there, really. We got very little done before everyone wanted to order pizza. This group always wants to order pizza, it seems. It wouldn’t be bad, except that we take nearly 2 hours out of filming for pizza.

Soon after pizza, “Sarah” left us. She stayed just long enough to eat, basically. Shortly after that, my director’s camera had an accident. I still don’t exactly how it happened, but somehow it fell from a cart and hit the very hard floor. At that point, we called it a night since the camera no longer worked. When everyone else had left, my director asked me if I would be angry if she decided to give up on the project altogether. I told her we were all getting frustrated with the whole thing, and that I’d be disappointed, but not angry. I’m an understanding girl.

I was certain that the film had seen its last days. Imagine my surprise when my director called me on Friday to ask if I could film on Sunday. I rearranged my plans for the day to drive 60+ miles to school to film at 6:30. At 7:10 we started. “Sarah” had to leave at 8:00, so my director rewrote her scenes to kill her off early. We filmed “Sarah’s” scenes, the “professor’s” scenes, a chase scene (since our ghost finally decided to join us for this filming) and… that’s it. At 10:30 my director decided to call it a night. I rearranged my schedule, drove 60+ miles (one way), and sat for 4 hours for nothing. The best part? We’re STILL NOT FINISHED. I get to go back on Wednesday and film something else. Do I think we’ll finish on Wednesday? Uh, no.

Did I mention that our final exams start on Wednesday? No? Well, they do. After that, we have a week before spring semester starts and then all of our schedules will be completely different. I’m an understanding girl, but this is getting to be too much.

    Things take a long time, don’t they? For instance, we ordered some doors from Home Depot a month and a half ago. We thought we’d have new doors in 3-4 weeks. We’ve adjusted our expectations to 3-4 months.

    I just realized what the title to this post was.

    Somebody started filming it,
    not knowing what it was.
    And they’ll continue filming it
    forever just because…

    I’m soooo embarassed that I didn’t pick up on it earlier.

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
