I was going to write a very angry post today about Directors and their inability to be decent fucking human beings … but then I thought again.
‘Why?’ I hear you ask. Surely I’m about due for an ill advised, ill thought out and mostly untrue sweary rant? I mean, it is almost Christmas after all.
Well, because I spent all day yesterday working on the third draft of a treatment for a feature project I’m really excited about and (once the inital ranting about nonsensical notes has abated) am getting more excited about with each successive draft; I’ve just finished a very leisurely and rather lavish breakfast which included lashings of tea; I’m spending this morning knocking out a few sketches for another feature film’s website; this afternoon I’m looking at ideas for a series of webisodes to promote a third feature film and tomorrow I’m running through an ADR list and suggesting final dialogue for a stupendously exciting feature film which might actually be finished any year now!
On top of that, this is the current view from my window:
And this is waiting for me as a treat on Sunday:

Hey! I’ve got that lighthouse-and-palmtrees poster stapled to the inside of my study window too. It’s always fooling visitors.

I find it best to flash the lights on and off and play some weird sound effects as they walk in – in the hope of tricking them into thinking there’s been some kind of rip in the time/space continuum at precisely the same moment they walked through the door.

Well, the weather here is lovely, too! Just coming in to the “wrath-of-god” season.
We haven’t flooded, yet.
I guess that’s a bonus.
Enjoy it when you get back. *evil laughter*
