Got
to see a LEGEND!
Tonight is opening night for a weekend
of workshops on filmmaking put on by Women in Film. Tonight the guest speaker
was Joan Darling! The director/writer for the Mary Tyler Moore Show! (for
those of you….well….younger than me….look up roles by Betty White….I know you
all at least know who she is). This director was I believe…. the first female
director….at least for comedy. How f'ing fantastic is that? It was incredible to
listen to her talk about how she landed that role and what it was like to try
to do her work in a totally male dominated field at the time….maybe still
is???? Male dominated??? I dunno….out of my circle of understanding. Awesome
evening!
Buying
things and learning is hurting me
The new love of my life…better damn well be….cost me
….excuse me…gotta run back to bathroom |
Ok. So…Finally pulled the trigger and
bought the camera and lens. Have finished throwing up…Wiped vomit off edges of
mouth…. then I bought a pack of rollos and more diet coke. …Don’t judge!.....It
helps! ……it is important to fill your stomach back up after emptying it….I am sure. Now moving on to purchase other stuff. Yeah. Who needs money right?
Here is how it went down. ……After
listening to a friends advice about checking out the cameras in hand (i.e. look
at them in person)…..and then …..waiting an extra day to do this… and the price
of the camera went up 300 bucks…:( yep unsmiley…..Amazon sucks! …….and then the place I parked happened to have a
fire hydrant in front of it….Ok. I did think…hmmm. If I were a fire truck and
wanted to put out a fire….I might think this would be a lovely place to
park….If only Jennifer would drink wine all day instead of waiting until the
evening….these ridiculous choices would not be as problematic! …..Probably…Ok.
Yeah…probably would have placed the car on the actual stairs of the capital
building instead…. But anyway…60 dollar ticket….Fuck!. …and guess what? …. the
camera store only had one of the two options I was advised to check out.
Yeah….sort of a bummer.
So I went home bought a camera! Canon
Mark iii for those of you wondering. Which I am sure is maybe none of the four
of you reading. Except….maybe that cat…who watches me type through
the window while he pees on my bushes. I am like his newspaper.
Boring….wouldn’t read otherwise…..but is something to do when…um…occupied.
Thanks cat! Lets give a big hand to Cat…my biggest fan!!!
So now I had to pick memory cards.
Well…seems straight forward….maybe this one will be easy? Of course fucking
not! The damn camera has TWO slots for TWO different types of cards. Oh no….
All these…holes…just seems unnatural
|
What about a hard drive. Maybe that will
be easy…NO! There are some that take firewire and some that take only USB. I
have absolutely no idea which is best. None. Firewire plus USB is double price.
Ok. Lets get that one.
Now for audio…which if you blow…you blow
everything…according to all blogs…write-ups….reviews …you tubes…. Thanks.
Everyone….for putting me at ease.
I think this wine is trying to tell me
something.,..but what?????
|
I am now driving to the store to get more wine. Which I was trying to not have again until Friday. Yeah…got to Tuesday.
Back at home….reading about audio with
wine even hurt….so I walked outside to spend a quiet moment with dogs….what
happens. MAN ON PCP RUNS PAST HOUSE
SCREAMING. Yep…. This should be a good evening. I feel very confident about this
documentary…production….alone….with no experience…thing…now. Definitely.
