She said “Holla!” — Vignettes
First up, a couple of shout-outs.

1) To B. Fry — Thank you for letting me grip your hand and cling all over you like a girlie girl at Eastern State Penitentiary last night. Having never been before and finding the mere idea of such a place to be insanely creepy, much less with people popping out and doing the whole scare-the-crap-out-of-you thing, well, I appreciated it.

2) To Mikey Likes It! — Just because you’re fantastically fun and completely quotable at all times. Favorite quotes from last night included “I hear the voices [in my head] all the time, they just never say anything relevant.” and “I think we should take this time while on queue to perfect our performance of the Thriller dance.” Awesome. The latter quote spawned an entire evening of doing that Michael Jackson claw move.

I greased the lens and framed the shot
This morning I was officially asked to head the video project next year since my co-director from this year is leaving. Should I be laughing this much?

I am quite bummed that I missed out on all the 48-hour film challenge goodness this year, from both factions. I would have loved to help either one out (or both) but could do neither, in part because I was so wiped from editorial conference video and in part because I had approximately one frillion other things to do this weekend, half of which I didn’t get done anyway because I decided to blow off responsibilities in favor of friends that I had been neglecting for far too long.

Speaking of a frillion things…
Any thought I had that I would be able to take a breather after the conference was over were retardedly optimistic at best. I still have a frillion things on my plate, most of them social this time around though. This weekend will be particularly amusing as Friday night alone I have three different social engagements, none of which I am able/want to get out of. Take a look:

5:00-6:00 — Happy hour for my co-worker/editor/co-director/friend that’s leaving
7:00-9:00? — Official Parlor Launch party (Parlor is the literary journal for Rosemont, and since I have signed up to be on the staff I really should make an appearance)
8:00-?? — Luke and Leslie’s Halloween party

Why do I do this to myself?

Speaking of Halloween…
What in the WORLD should I be this year? I was going to be super cute and be Twister for Halloween, but then all costumes sold out. And then last night I found out that Kittastic — following the eerie way that all girls whose names begin with “K” think alike — had made her own Twister costume (although different from the one I linked to) so I can’t go as that even if the costumes magically went on sale again. I need help. Renee, your costume is fun, where did you order it from? I need something cute and awesome stat!

Yeah...good luck finding me a gold lame bathing suit that doesn't make me look the size of a fucking house, and we'll be in business. At this point, I am considering being this.
