Emily, Mac, Shannon and I spent all weekend working on the film. We were in the editing room until 4am on Friday night; Saturday from 11am till 5pm; and most of the day Sunday. After editing on Saturday we took some hilarious pictures for the film. You can check them out in the photo section.
I gave my 2 weeks notice for work. It was amazing. The LA move seems much more concrete. I can't wait. DC is boring and it has crappy weather.
Dear people who think my blog is boring,
You're stupid. If it's so boring, why do you read it? Ha! I got you there. Maybe if you had a blog of your own and it wasn't boring, I would listen to you. Until then shut up.

Being done with school is wonderful. Emily has been very stressed out about all the work she has to do before the end of the semester. Just hearing about everything she has to do reminds me of everything I no longer have to worry about. Tests. Homework. Due dates. Studying. Showing up to class with clothes on.
It has finally warmed up in DC. Today I actually sweated for the first time in about 6 months. Emily and I brought Turtle to the dog park yesterday and today. We walked through the river, played fetch, ran around and had a great time. Now Turtle is worn out. Sleeping on my lap.

Time for some more quotes from our illustrious president:
"The vast majority of our imports come from outside the country."
"If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure."
"One word sums up probably the responsibility of any Governor, and that one word is 'to be prepared'."
"I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future."
"The future will be better tomorrow."
"We're going to have the best educated American people in the world."
"We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a part of Europe."
"A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls."
"We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur."
"For NASA, space is still a high priority."
"Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children."
"It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it."
"It's time for the human race to enter the solar system."
- George W. Bush

I have come to the conclusion that the subservient chicken website is fake. First of all, he can't possibly be there 24 hours a day. Second of all, his position on camera seems to jump slightly just before he does anything. Now that that's settled we can all stop feeling bad about leaving him with nothing to do.
The weather around here has been terrible the last few days. Turtle gets really depressed because he can't go out and play. When I think about it, that might not be such a bad thing. He seems to instinctively know when it's a nice day out and he will whine by the door until you let him out. I need to move somewhere with really great weather. Maybe LA.

Hello all. Let me tell you about the ridiculous events of last weekend:
Emily and Mac had a film project to shoot. They had been planking for weeks and around this time last week everything seemed under control. Then things started to happen. First the actors that were suppose to play the guy and girl dropped out. Emily got her best friend Shannon to play the girl and Shannon's boyfriend to play the guy. Mid week Emily got a call saying that the camera she had reserved was broken. Luckily, since she had requested it so far in advance, the professor let her use his super 16mm camera (much nicer than the original camera).
Then came the shoot. I took off work early to help out, arriving at Mac's apartment around 6:30. We waited a couple hours for the male lead to show up. Every time we called he was "on his way". Eventually we just decided to cast Christian, one of the crew members. The Friday night shoot went well. As did the Saturday shoot.
Saturday night as Christian was leaving, Emily told him not to ride his motorcycle. Of course he rode it anyway and got into an accident (which wasn't his fault). He went to the hospital and there was no way he was going to finish the shoot. Saturday night we stayed up most of the night re-writing the script. We decided to do a mock investigative report, using the footage from Friday and Saturday as reenactments. Overall I think the project will turn out very well. Maybe even better than it would have without the problems.
