On the long way back from NYC we stopped in Richmond to drop Nathan off at home and in the process forgot my laptop at the apartment. We had stopped there to grab a bite at Tarrant’s and make sure we grabbed all the necessities we might need for the rest of our stay at elsewhere…except my laptop so now I have to drive six hours round trip to get it.
This is the week where everything gets done. Jennida has been shooting stop motion footage all over Elsewhere finding textures and other hidden treasures. Soon it will be my turn. I just have to finish all of my contacting. Over the weekend I Facebooked Clement Mallory and began a discussion. Jennida and I have begun to discuss contingency plans in case things don’t fall into place. The A&T home coming this weekend is really putting a damper on things. I had a lead for a woman that runs a dance school for girls running from age four on up to eighteen and who would have been a wonderful partner in our plans. However she and the girls are participating in the A&T festivities, as are many many people. I guess it is too much to hope for anyone from A&T Marching Machine being on hand for our program. ‘Tis a great lesson in dreaming large so you still have cards to play as things fall through.
After dinner I left out for Richmond and my laptop. I made good time and made myself a quick oven pizza and watched a movie called Repo Men based off of Repo: the Genetic Opera. It starred Forrest Whitaker and Jude Law. It was an interesting movie that I’m not sure which type of movie it wanted to be but attempted them all. I mean I wasn’t expecting very much, Repo was pretty trashy, but I’m always interested in what Forest chooses to do just to see what he does with it. He obviously can do The Last King of Scotland and obviously he did Species II. I think he gets it. You get yourself to the big jobs by doing the small jobs- and some times the big ones are small and sometimes the small ones are big- just keep working.
