After the last couple of days of Film Festival excitement (and I am excited) I should have no reason to complain. But it's just not me without complaints.
I'm trying to get the book done and it goes off the rails when I slip into validation euphoria. Plus, I'm at a tricky phase in the book. I did a lot of scrambling around getting shows after Dreamgirls and before I got to Angels. And i didn't take as many notes about the productions as I should have. Or take pictures. In once case, the few pictures I know I did take, I cannot locate. And that OCD of wanting to find the pictures to prove I'm not crazy about knowing I took pictures kicks in. But I have writing to do. So, I can finish my rough first draft.
Plus, IMDB isn't helping. They have release dates but not the dates I worked on the picture. And some times the release dates are out of order of when I worked on them. For instance, I worked on Moneyball and then it wasn't released for two years. The same thing happened with Priest. A few of these shows I was only on for a short time so I don't have a bunch of stories or any stories besides built flats, got paid, and left.
I'm digging through this here forum for some clues and going through my photo catalog for others. Thank god for date stamping on photos. Also I did write about some of the films here but not in a clearly defined area. Plus, I don't want to spend too much time digging when I could be writing.
Now, time to go write about either Changeling or He's just not that into you.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
