Good Times. Finally got away from home for a little bit. Got to spend some time resting up in the North Woods.
I realized, while canoeing one day that I had brought my video camera. And then this happened:
This week I’m in Florida. A small reprieve between projects. I just finished the bulk of the work on the film project. When I return, it’s time to start my new job. Although, even while on vacation, I still find myself doing a little bit of work. Since I’m down here in Winter Park, I stopped by Full Sail to see some folks, chat chit, and get advice on some upcoming work related decisions. It’s hard to slow when after high-performance mode has been on so long. But today was a nice slow, rainy day. After the morning, it was pretty much just a trip to Barnes and Noble, a stop by Sci-Fi City (a local game store), and some quality time playing Munchkin this evening. I lost. But such a pun-filled game can be a blast even when losing. Good times.
This year is shaping up to be quite eventful. It’s barely half over, and I can’t imagine what wonders the rest will bring. But, in short, let me discuss what has already come.
During my extended job search (and therefore extended unemployment) I was invited to join a small team of people in creating an independent film. I was brought on as recording engineer. This was mainly because I am the only guy in the circle of friends concerned with home recording equipment, and because indie films of this nature have very little budget, which means they can’t just walk down to the local “Engineers ‘R Us” and hire one full time. This project is now actually nearing completion. It entailed a much greater amount of work than anticipated, but thankfully the quality is proportionally greater than anticipated.
