back baby!

the following is what a ten year old would say when asked 'what did you do when you had no internet?' except i'm 26 and feeling rambly.

so i didn't pay shaw. so they took my email away. then my cable. then i drove through this big puddle (you know, the ones that were all over last week) and my car froze overnight and then i didn't have a car. you see, i needed my car to go see bend sinister, to give them back their hard drive. they had given me their hard drive the day before, and it took ten hours to copy the clips from their doc that i'm cutting for them. they were in town opening for mobile. i was surprised to hear that mobile were still together. i don't listen to popular music. were they even popular? i remember the french girl i dated liked them. this is probably because they were from montreal. they weren't one of those cool montreal bands though, a band such as arcade fire (who truthfully, are not part of that scene, having only two members actually from there) but anyways, you know what i mean. so i looked over their footage and it's pretty decent, i can make a film out of this. speaking of films, ours is almost done (finally). our picture cut is down to 30 minutes and thirty seconds. pretty exciting. the sound is almost done, josh is working on a few more songs. i showed him the film and kaeliegh the film and they both liked it. josh's band also played last week on the day everyone drinks. it was good. the venue was crap though. chad played on the weekend and a separate venue was crap and we couldn't get in. they also wouldn't let chad have a cup of water, they told him to drink from the tap like a golden retriever. we didn't get to see chad play. it sucked. jen had her birthday. it was good. she got spoiled. she also told me that she does not like space shows. i now quote her on this every day. all the new footage in our film looks really great. there is 16mm footage in black and white and in colour. it makes it look like we spent a lot of money (we did, kinda). it makes the opening of our film look really pretty. the acting is also good in our film. i think the acting is good because it doesn't sound like anyone is pretending. i made a stop motion film using still photogs that i took a long time ago and also ones that i took recently. you can watch it here. it is funny and has my sister and her friend carly. it uses a song by twotails. sometimes people call twotails taylor. sometimes they call him funny and short. when i grow up i want to be a filmmaker or a spaceman. i like having the internet back. the end.
