"That is not dead which can eternal lie..."
What am I doing?
I'm preparing from the roll-out of FileMaker 8, which entails a complete change to the way all of our production and editorial staff work.
What does this mean?
It means I've been working until about 10pm every day, and will be in all day on Saturday and Sunday.
Hence, no blog. Not even when someone pointed me at what may well be the pinacle of websitery, catsthatlooklikehiter.com, which is a site that makes me wonder why other sites even bother.
Anyway, I hope to have everything tucked away and finished by Sunday, and deal with the fallout during the week; but that means that by Tuesday or Wednesday, I'll actually be able to have evenings back! Hooray!
And now -- my film schedule. (I've had to miss Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont to go to Rich's do, and am taking the first Saturday off to roleplay with the Krazy Kats of Kapiti. And Morgue. Otherwise, a fairly good, solid schedule, for which I've booked all the tickets I can; if I've got a block free, and you'll be in that end of town, you're welcome to join me for coffee or tea. I think I'll be drinking a lot of tea. :)

That is all.
Posted by: morgue at July 6, 2006 9:22 PMWhat's with Sat the 22nd and Wed the 2nd? 1 movie?! 3 movies?! You're wussing out Svend, selling out to the man...
Posted by: Rachel at July 7, 2006 8:17 AMSaturday I'd already committed to roleplaying up in Kapiti -- you'll note the one film I'm going to finishes around midday. :) (I thought about making it back for Shortbus, but I decided I didn't need that kind of scheduling stress, and I was ambivalent about seeing it in the first place.)
And as for Wednesday -- I figure I'll fill in the gap on the spur of the moment. I'll see what's playing, maybe see something like MI3 or Cars... :)
Posted by: Svend at July 7, 2006 9:29 AMIt's a plan with military precision. Well done!
I love it when you start to go slightly crazy when you're super-busy (you get the manic sleep-deprived look in your eyes and start waggling your fingers and doing maniacal laughter more often than usual).
Posted by: Kate at July 9, 2006 10:05 PMI am deeply envious of your having the time to commit to so much celluloid. I guess I'll just vicariously see them through you.
Posted by: samm at July 9, 2006 10:47 PMYou bought me a ticket for animation for kids right? I should add it to my schedule.
See you for roleplaying tonight!
