Turning heads at the bus stop

Oh yeah. All the time.

Too bad they're all scrawny highschool kids and creepy old men.

Last week I worked only part time, partly because I was feeling a bit under the weather and partly because my boss was in the Artic. Yeah, you read that one right. She went to film Ivory Gulls, an endangered species that live... in the Arctic. So I spent my time at the editing station, capturing stills of all the birds from the Guatemala footage, so that I can spend this week identifying them all, while she got to tromp around a far corner of the world filming wild things.

No, I honestly can't complain, she's letting me work on my own things, too, which for me mainly means making something out of the hours of alpaca footage I took while in Peru. I'm going to be able to use the soundbooth and everything, so hopefully I'll have a bonafide documentary on my hands by the time I see you all in August. I just wish that I could dream up something to film now so I can borrow the equipment Kate said I could and do something more than just log and capture.

In other news... avacado and hummus sandwiches have got to be the best food in the world. Seriously. I suggest you drop everything immediately and make one. Now.

And I clearly have nothing else worth putting onto paper.

Love and miss you all,

Amanda

Highschool kids? Thats not too far off? Or you could get one of the older guys, and hope he keels over soon and leaves you the estate. When you say documentary do you mean making a new one or finishing Alpaca?

I mean making a new one from the alpaca footage.
