Movie, Class Monotony

Picked up my stuff from the editor last week. So she's officially off the picture. Posted an ad up on Craigslist for a new editor, and of course it was red-flagged within like ten minutes. Happens to me every time. Even though I explain I'm a starving artist paying out of pocket, some paranoid artist always gets freaked out thinking I'm some corporation out to screw them over or something. And I understand that. But c'mon. Before it got tore down, one dude responded, so we'll see how that goes. When that happens I'm always suspicious that the one person who got through before it was taken down, red-flagged it after replying himself to ensure he'd get the job. If that's the case, works for me. It at least shows he's hungry! I don't care as long as the job gets done.

There was more drama when the guy who cleaned up the movie's sound couldn't find the files for the movie. He'd sent the link to our old editor like six months ago and she never downloaded them or responded to my inquiries (and the links are now expired), and so he went on with his life, thinking he could erase the project. But no, it turns out we still needed them! Long story short, he was able to unearth them after looking for a few days. But it was total panic attack time last week.

Gave ex-boyfriend's son the painting he requested for his birthday. They both really liked it. Far from Picasso, but I think I get a smidge better with each one. Making one for my brother's birthday now, too. Very, very time consuming. But I owe him a lot, so it's worth it. Hope it doesn't suck! If it does, he can give it to his kids to paint over and play with. Whatever.

Class still dragging on. One girl (the one who demanded a ride of me) showed up to class drunk off her ass. I don't think the teacher noticed, but everyone sitting near her could smell the liquor. And she was acting kind of dopey. If I didn't drive to class I'd be tempted to do the same thing. She does like ten minutes of lecture and then the rest of the four + hours, the teacher just talks about her life and where she finds great sales and stuff. I prepare better for class when I substitute teach, and she's been teaching this same class for over ten years, so I don't know what her excuse is. You could be high as a kite and not miss much. Luckily I read the book so hopefully I should be able to pass the state boards either way. Knock on wood.

Well, if you can't tell, I could use some shut eye! G'night.
