City and Shooting Star!!

Spent the last couple of days in the city. When you don't have much to do being in the city is quite a good thing because you meet a lot of people. Met up for coffee with Jessica yesturday from the documentary i was filming so that was really cool. After coffee i went to catch the ferry home but it was cancelled so ended up seeing River Queen. I must say that i was really dissapointed with the movie although there were some pretty cool shots in it i liked. This morning i had a meeting for a job that is coming up later in the year and after that i went and visited Alex and Dan to see how things were going with the doco. I then went and saw Domino which stars Keira Knightley. I thought it was an ok movie but not the greatest. Some of the cinematography in it was beautifull and then some of it was really annoying by the way the camera moved. It was more shaky than Memories haha.

Just spent a good 2 hours in Borders book shop on Queen st looking at photography books. Some of the photo's in those books are incredible and really inspirational. I have decided i am going to focus more on my photography than i have been. I do want to become professional at it one day so i am now looking at a few courses. Will see how it goes i guess. And after seeing those books today I now have even more of a travel bug. Its like having an itch but you just cant get it!!! I guess everyone feels like that at some stage in their lives tho. After borders i met up with Echo and Sophie (crazy chinese camera chicks) haha. Was good to see them again and now Echo is coming up north for a road trip this weekend.

Tonight i have the viewing of "The Last Year" that i was doing lighting ass on before i went to India. I know that as soon as i see the scene with me as a computer geek i am just gonna sink into my chair. Cant believe i did that and Jerard did'nt even make me wear computer glasses so that makes me think that i am actually a geek!! Would explain a few things haha.

Shooting Star!!!! Saw an INCREDIBLE shooting star the other day and the REALLY wierd thing is that i was expecting it!! Freaky!!! Plus it was an overcast night!! So random, i was just sitting on the deck at about 2am in the morning and i knew it was coming for some reason. I just looked up and there it came through the clouds. It lit up the whole sky!! Pretty cool!!

Im going to Troys and Angela's for dinner tonight before the viewing. They live in the Heritage just down the road from TVNZ. Cant wait to just jump into the pool they have on the roof!! Its been sooo hot lately!! Plus I havent seen them both for a few months.
