The following conversation took place at 9:38 PM October 21st:
Me: Hey Emily, you're pants kinda remind me of pants people wear when they ride horses.
Emily: Why, is it because of these? [points to the buttons coming up the side of the leg]
Me: Yes and since they're tight
Emily: *pause*
Aubrey: She's probably going to say that they really are riding pants!
Emily: Yes...[starts to walk upstairs]...and I have my stirrups upstairs...with a man attached! What?! *quickly runs up the stairs*

Today was a good day...
It was my first day working on an actual film set. I got to act as a secretary (with one line! I know, amazing right? Hahaha) and work as a Production Assistant; doing anything from taking production stills to holding things to pulling fishing line to make it seem like a file cabinet drawer was opening by itself.
Saturday was spent putting the set together; drilling flats together to make walls, decorating to achieve the look of a newspaper editor's office, acting as stand-ins for the actors as we worked to get the lighting just right.
Although today was long with tired feet and a few technical difficulties, it was also amazing as I finally got to see how everything works. It also was amazing to see Aaron loading real film in a black bag and then hearing the sound of it running through the camera--actual film that needs to be developed.
Pictures are to come, as soon as Aubrey and I have time to upload and edit them :)

La Nuit Américaine
Tonight in International Film we watched La Nuit Américaine, aka Day For Night. Pretty much it was an AMAZING movie! The basic plot is a production crew and staff working on a film and the relationships and crazyness that goes on between the characters in the "film", the actors and the crew members. But seriously, so amazing. The best quote EVER came from this movie and was quoted by the director's assistant (who was a female):
"I'd leave a man for a film but I wouldn't leave a film for a man."
Hahaha....yes, so true. Tomorrow night I'm going to Portland on a little field trip with other people from International Film to watch a bunch of French short films. It will be quite the experiance! And as Matt said in the email "The refreshments at intermission may include wine. Your glass won't"
Well, I need to head off to bed soon since I got a grand total of 2 hours of sleep last night! Went to bed at 5am and woke up at 7am because of a lovely paper I had to write for [you'll never guess...] International Film! But for the paper, I watched this music video by My Chemical Romance that I've seen a few times before. But watching it again was just amazing for me because I've discovered that I really loved the 30s and 40s even though there was the Great Depression and WWII. I'm posting the video and you don't have to watch all of it but you should at least watch ~1:25-1:33. After you watch it you will know why :)

"Just go ahead, let your hair down."
So, here's my first post on this blog...we'll see how it goes. I pretty much decided to do this to get all my random thoughts, frustrations, etc...written down and maybe someone will be interested in them :) Anyways...
It's Sunday night and I really should be studying for my Spanish quiz tomorrow, or doing any other form of homework. Instead I'm curled up on the couch with my favorite blanket (the one June made me for graduation) and just finished the first disk of season 4 of The Office. This weekend was nice and relaxing; not too many people were around the house which was nice. I mean, I love my roommates but sometimes having 8 of them can be too much at times. Friday was a perfect day. It was raining on and off so I got to do what I love which is curl up on the couch with a blanket and book. I'm finally getting on the Twilight bandwagon and have finished the first book and have started the second. They're good and exciting at parts and I'm waiting for the movie (especially Robert Pattinson) but I'm not freaking out about them like everyone else.
I think this will be it for now. I probably won't post much during the week but who knows, this blog will be very A.D.D.
