oops- forgot


Oh , forgot to actually say what I've been up to. Came 2nd in an internet competition to write a poem about new year (was such a bummer to come second, in a way would have been better not to be placed at all, because the prize for 1st place was an ipod, and i'd love one- so near and so far!) I have no use for the second prize, some simm card back up thing, so just gave it to a friend. Still, I suppose these minor triumphs get us through the day. The poetry perculating bore fruit. Worked on a huge sequence last week about pigs, the first draft was finished on Friday, and it ended up having 16 parts (16 being the age it ends at, before the story has already been told, or rather seen.) Also been considering images and stuff to go with the porn poems (actually I call them that, there's very little adult content in them, it's just a working title I guess that I stick to). I think it would work nice as a package with images at a reading, so it's been a nice hobby for me to consider this at my leisure. Took a lovely little bit of footage of the tree outside blowing in the wind, but now need to find out if there is a way for it to be projected bigger without it losing all the definition (when blew it up on the PC became more pixilated the bigger it got- this is a huge problem, since had the camera on highest res possible. Wonder if doing it on a proper digital moving image camera would improve it or not?) I think I need to learn more about stuff like this, but am not sure how or where to start. There are so many more things I don't know than I do it's amazing some days, and scary others.
