Movies n' Football

I'm thinking more and more lately, that I want to make a movie. Some of my friends and I have always said that we should just document our lives, 'cause silly things are bound to happen and we should get them caught on tape. Sounds logical, I know. So...I think that's what I'm going to do. I've got the equipment - at least the main one being the camera - I know how to work it, so there's the cinematography, direction and ultimately production. Script, you ask? Hmmm, ok well I've got a few things tinkering around, and I know that there's a lot of material out there, not to mention the whole 'unscripted' aspect of documentary filmmaking (lookout TIFF!!).

OK, so...let's make a movie, huh kids? I'm taking suggestion/artistic input, so feel free to drop a comment or two as for theme suggestions etc.

Moving onwards, I think I'm becoming more fascinated with football, American football. I don't quite know all the 'ins and outs' of the game, nor can I really name you any major superstars in the game (but don't get me wrong, I know my T.O.'s, Brady's, Favre's etc), nor do I recall who won SuperBowl XIXVCMGUCCM etc. but I think I'm liking the game more and more. So much so, in fact that I'm thinking of getting a "team". That is to say that I'm going to jump on a bandwagon and ride it into the 4th and Goal!! (eh, not bad, eh?!)

So far, I'm favouring the NY Jets (you can thank the Joe Namath and the recent Mark Wahlberg "Invinceable" movie), that and b/c realistically I could drive down and catch a game - on that note, I'd say the Buffalo Bills but then again, its Buffalo. Coming from Toronto, I don't think I can pledge myself to any team from Buffalo - despite my empathy for Buffalo's losing ways/choking style, when it comes to the playoffs...so, I think it'll be the Jets.

Just realized, I'm going to have to really learn the rules of the game, and I'm going to have to commit myself to the schedule more often. I mean I can handle HNIC on Saturday Nights, that's just life, but Sundays and/or Mondays...tough call. Then there's the whole NFL cable package...oh well I'm not 100% committed to the idea yet.

Back to the filmmaking concept - I will be holding auditions in the weeks to come (once I figure out for sure that I'm doing this) - I'll need male and female leads/support, so all are welcome.

Done for now, I think.

PEACE.

City vs. City

You know something, I love Toronto, a truly great city. We've got festivals (TIFF parties anyone?), we've got big business, fantastic restaurants and such culturally diverse parts of our fair city. Then there's Montreal...they've got, the Just For Laughs Festival. Click on the title link of this entry and you'll see what I'm getting at.

I wonder if she does kid's birthday parties?

I'm Inga, from Sveeden, ya?!

2:00am(ish) and you know what that means - yep, up n' bloggin' away. Sleep? Can't do that. Why, you ask (or don't ask, yet for literary purposes I have taken the liberty to do so on your behalf, and speaking of literaryness - oh that'll be a word soon - ever read instructions on a ketchup bottle that's not Heinz??) well, because I've got an IKEA mattress. Y'see, I was fortunate enough to have had a small fortune spent on my goregous bedroom set - and it's served me well, however, it appears as though the proverbial "buck" stopped just short of a fuckin' comfortable/supportive mattress!!

So, what's a Canuck to do? Go to the Swedish Meatball Emporium that has so skillfully managed to induce a trance-like spell over the female populous, and get me a fuukkin' maatress!! Smorgesbourg (how the fuck do you spell that at 2am eh?!) to end all Shmoregsborgs (went with an alternate sp. on purpose - still no clue at 2am and too lazy to Websterize it - so too shall that be a word soon my pretty!) we go up to IKEA and lo and behold thar she blow - the mattress.

Oh Swedish consortium of plastic screws n' wooden bench like furniture that looks as though the Amish are getting stoned while workin', will your wonders ne'er cease?

They can cram a fuukin' lightbulb that's square-shaped into a socket that's round-holed but they can't make a bloody mattress properly? At present (and there's been confirmation on this one) I've got a sink-hole in the middle of the bloody thing so I'm hammocked into my own frame. Worse still, I've flipped it and flopped it, twisted and turned it and its still shite.

"Hey Ellie, why don't ya shuddup n' get a new mattress already" you say (and if you did say it like that, what's with the Yosemite Sam thing ya got goin' on??!!), well I would 'cept my penchant for the somewhat extravagant yet equally comfy mattresses has found me in search of....

THE BELLAGIO BED!

So, what prey tell is this "bellagio bed" I speak of?? Well, to be honest if you've ever stayed at the Bellagio in Las Vegas - they're beds are absolutely, 100% without a doubt the bestest, softest, yet equally firmest, lushest, relaxingest mattress I've ever had the priviledge and pleasure to rest my body (no doubt forever altered due to the shape of all things Swedish) EVER!!!

Problem is - Bellagio bed mattress runs for around $2500CDN. Steep, n'est pas?

So, I guess the only logical thing to do is to start a fundraiser. That's right, for a mere $100-potentially-tax-deductible-donation, you can help a sleepless student find his stride (plus the lady'll love it too - see, that's another problem, we're having mattress compatibility issues, but that's another blog altogether) not to mention a few zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

While I recognize that this is the 2nd blatant time that I've hit you, the reader up fo' some papah, it's for a good cause. Better sleep = better blogging (and other important stuff too, in case mom n' dad are reading this one)!!

And to the bastooords at IKEA - your self-assembly-no-english-words-nor-any-known-text-or-font-both-modern-and-ancient-alike-instruction-manual-$0.99-swedish-buffet-breakfast-toting-deal-sucking-fake-plant-odds-n'-ends-crap-on-sale-plastic-spatula-reinventing-shite-art-500sq.ft-model-home-with-inadequate-spacing-useless-fake-tv-floor-model-maze-winding-vomit-inducing-bland-white-paint-student-budget-newlywed-target-market-weird-pet-names-to-all-your-furniture-overcharging-for-delivery-never-able-to-find-a-sales-associate-that-isn't-being-stalked-by-293-customers-at-the-same-time-furniture-puncturing-resistence-test-glass-encased-displaying days are definetly hereby put on notice.

By the way, did you see the new catalogue - interesting stuff...damn, its like a disease!!

Holy Crap - it's SEPTEMBER!

So a lil' glance at the 'ol calendar reveals that its officially September 1st - summer's all but dead, school's around the corner (man that's weird to write/say/think/do), weather's chilling off a bit, one year anniversary's comin' up (on the 3rd - yay, shameless personal plug!), and television will start to air fresh material - hopefully it will be great television - not that I'll have much time to watch, what with my newfound homework schedule...oy.


'Nuff for now...

Done.
Peace.
