Wipeout
That's the one word description of what happens when you move me from the bunny slope to the mountain too soon.
Went downhill skiing for the first time yesterday. Great time. Got the hang of it pretty quickly, at least on the bunny slope, as they call it. After a while got turning down. Stopping, a little difficult, but down. However, once moved to the bigger mountain...not so good. Made it about halfway down at a top speed before trying to stop. Which led to, not once, but twice, me flying into the air and flip flopping down the mountain in a somersalt fashion...once with skis still attached (creating quite the comical moment as i tried to get my feet and skis untangled, and nearly took Becca down the mountain with me on that one as she tried to help me), and the other where my skis just flew off once i started tumbling, and i had to make my way back up to get my skis and poles, which had been scaterred to various areas along the way.
Still, skiing = AWESOME time. What a rush. Can't wait to do it again. Just gonna have to work on stopping a bit more before tackling that big slope again.
Script for the new film is 3/4 finished. Demian and I had a script meeting on Friday, and things should be rolling in the next month or so in terms of pre-production.
Unfortunately, two rejection notices have come in film festival-wise. We did not get into the Ashland Independent Film Festival in Ashland, Oregon, or the Syracuse International Film Festival here in Syracuse, NY. A bit disappointed by that, actually.
Still, many others left to go. We'll see.
And a Happy upcoming Birthday to our own Michael Duignan, turning the big-2-6 on the 13th. (Though, i'm creeping up behind him with the big 2-5 just a few days later) Yikes!...seems like not too long ago we were all getting excited to be getting out of the teens and hit 20. Definitely goes by fast. Stopped by to see him and his wife Sara for their birthday shindig for him.
Got involved in a game of Trivial Pursuit SNL Edition with them, and friends Scott, Bryan, and Melissa. Whose mind is a useless sponge of meaningless TV information. Yep, you guessed it. I went home the winner, proving once and for all i watch way too much TV and don't have nearly the life I should. ;)
Good times, all around this weekend.
