This is the first time I have sat in front of a computer to do something other than work for the last few days. Don't get me wrong, I haven't had a job for the last six months so it was great to get out and work. But I have ran myself ragged. Monday I got up before sunrise and drove up to the lake. Got my shot of the sunrise which was absoloutely beautiful. About an hour after that I ended up helping my father spread a metric ton and a half of gravel around his driveway. I hate back breaking manual labor in the sun. Who's with me?! Then after that I got to run home and take a quick shower because my day wasn't done yet. I was asked to help a lady from my in-laws church plate a meal. I didn't only plate a meal, but I prepped it and cooked it as well. At least I didn't have to do the dishes. That was my first day of straight working in quite a while. Tuesday was spent cleaning up my wife and my home. Being a husband at home had it advantages. Sleeping in, eating whatever whenever, and playing video games when I wanted. But Tuesday had no room for those wonderful things, so to cleaning I went, and clean it all became. But it doesn't stop there. Yesterday, wednesday, my partner and I had a video to shoot. So I got to Fresno around ten in the morning, not too early, but it get's better. We shot the video we needed and then took a two hour break to watch the Final Fantasy VII movie: Advent Children. It was one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen, even with it all being completely cg. Even had a lot of things that indie film makers like myself could learn. Then we went to the beast of our work for the vid project, the editing. We started at 2:30pm and didn't leave the office with our completed product until shortly after midnight. Today I got to do another one of my wonderful domestic duties, laundry. So after this week, I think I am going to take this weekend, and work some more. That's right, more work for the weekend. Ah well, I had a drought of work for six months and as they ysay, when it rains, it pours.

Cheers.

So let's see, today I got up much earlier than I usually do and went up to the lake. Since I have started working for my friend doing filming and editing, I have needed to get lots of extra footage that can be used anytime. That's what I did today, it was absoloutly beautiful. I will probably get up there one morning around sunrise to get some great shots.

Tulare faire is also this weekend so I am excited about that. Time for a kilt wearing good time.

Cheers.

Wow!
It's been almost a year since I have entered anything, I'm a lazy bastard. Anyway, things is going a'ight. I just started working with a friend doing editing and cinematography work. Not quite oscar material, but the stuff that's been winning the last few years isn't either. Ren faire season started a few weeks ago and I am getting ready for the next couple faires coming up soon. Well, I'll see you all next year when I post again. Kidding, really. I will write more.

Well I figure that I have been on this place for a while and Highlander won't get off my back until I start to get on these boards. Watch out, here I come!
