Aah. El agua es muy buena. Snoring roomates make me tired... I woke up multiple times last night with varying strange dreams, one of which consisted of J and I shopping in bargain bins in a huge marketplace for who-knows-what with strangers, many overweight people whom I don't think I've ever met before, and doing some kind of our normal end of production work at a theatre that looked somewhat like the Rio but much more like a circus... Sometimes my dreams are just so bizarre, there are slight connections with subconcious things that are going on in my life, but are so whacky that they just are fun to be in, but make little sense when I remember them in the morning... And when I think back on them, have minute mental flashbacks, I really think I must be going nuts sometimes. I like my little cloud, I'm at home here, people know me...
Life in La La Land has certainly taken a turn for the... uh, different... recently. If someone a couple of years ago would have told me that I'd move to San Francisco to do lighting full time in a studio with over 12 complete sets, I would have looked at them in disbelief, and said, yeah, that'll be the day. And, hired on the same one year anniversary of my boss Jason's first day on the job, ironically, here I am, dropped out of city college for the semester, and attacking a career path I was never really sure about in the first place. But, like my mind and heart has been telling me, there's no way to know for sure unless you try it out, and I can look at this as a surprising opportunity, in disguise or not, could be incredible and could be disastrous. It will be what I make it to be, with all the effort on my part to kick ass and learn gargantuan amounts of information about the film industry and either walk away with an even bigger and better job, or some idea that maybe I'm seriously nuts for doing this and should just stick to school and the design/editing/photojournalism/insanity route that I'd almost decided on before...
All I can say is I'm bouncy happy that this opportunity presented itself when it did, nervous, scattered, excited, and a multitude of other emotions, 'course... I'm most aware that my lifestyle is going to be severely altered, having the schedule of M-F 10:30-6:30 could be badass and could be hell as well... and I'm sure sometimes it'll be both... Damn, now I really wish I didn't take that gig at the Fox this Sunday. Oh well.
So, wish me luck, friends, strangers, anyone who's reading...
I also managed to formulate a slightly different idea for the front page of stillsight, to the best of my html knowledge, I think I'd like to do something like this: beta index page with a button linking to a page with a list of all the galleries, or the flash thing. If I stick with SSp, then I would have to scrap the cambodia, holidaze, and porsche galleries and that would take quite a bit of work to alter it back into the SSp. Plus, there's the fact that I only have Flash on my desktop, and don't feel like being a pirate anymore. Arrrr, the trials and tribulations of being indecisive with lame website portfolio design. Anyway, any input is greatly appreciated. And, of course, the aforementioned link is non-functioning, it is solely for brainstorming purposes...
Whee.
