I'm trying to spend less time on my screen, exercising, and being less plugged online.
Hopping between scrapbooking, painting, reading, gardening, and possibly rollerblading? I saw some videos of Jason Mraz rollerskating, and it looks SO fun. I miss it. The only time I've been in skates is ice skating, but that's not the same. I think it's the gliding aspect. Seems so freeing to be able to just roll elegantly across the ground.
Nonetheless, all my hobbies seem to require money haha.
I don't mind though. I've been meaning to scrapbook all my mementos I've collected over the years. I already love stationary and stickers. Plus, it's a nice reflective process of putting together photos, reflecting on better times, and fun travel.
It's tough though, because I still have a long movie/show list to get through... In due time :p
I made some good headway with my scrapbook (technically, scrapbinder) but I'm waiting for some double-sided tape to arrive from Amazon (bleh, Jeff Bezos... but also –– why is the tape so expensive?!? Now I know why there's so many jokes about people stealing office supplies from work). So in the meantime, I'm going to try returning to writing.
Thinking of taking a stab with some stories I've left in the dust. Maybe my future book?
Oh –– I forgot, I finished my thesis film haha!
I've worked on it for so long that it's crazy I actually finished editing it May. I kind of abandoned it since March. I was stuck on it for a while –– unsure how to tie loose ends and create a cohesive story. Let it behold, a festival deadline was the way that pushed me to finish it. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. It's definitely different going from the idea, to script, to production, to editing. It's evolved in every stage and I think this is the best it could've come out.
The time pressure made me reevaluate and rethink lots of the floating parts I had. For the most part I scraped 30% of what I had done and redid it with more direction and intention. Which was the right way to go. Something more simple and straight forward.
Anyways, I'm gonna try and do some writing with some good ol' pen and paper. And a lil bit o' typewriter.
