Albuquerque Dreamin'
No real progress to report this week, as I've been busy with the end of my academic quarter this past week and stymied by the difficulties I'm having with this pool hall scene. I'll eventually find some combination of angles that seems least horrible and call it "artistic," but at the moment editing's on hold.
A couple of items: I'll be back in Albuquerque next week, from Monday the 31st through Sunday the 6th. As is usual with my weeklong visits to town, things will be action-packed, so reserve your seat now! If you have some time that week and want to shoot some pool, get some chow or just hang out, let me know. My only concrete appointment is the Super Bowl on the 6th. I owe Billy a dinner, so that's gonna be in there somewhere, as well as some 9-ball and beers with Aaron. Other than that, I'll just be bummin' around.
A few posts ago I mentioned an idea I have based around the car culture in Albuquerque. Partly I have this idea because I spent a lot of good years hanging out with a bunch of guys who cruise and race DSM imports (like Eclipses, Talons, Gallants, etc.). I still know a few of the guys around town, and I figured it wouldn't be too hard to talk them into doing a movie, so why not? Well, a friend of mine who owns a small shop in town has asked for help making some videos for his website this summer, which would be an excellent chance to experiment with the complexities involved in filming such a flick. For example, how to film in a car racing down Montgomery at 130 mph.
Of course, that all depends on where I end up this summer and what I end up doing. I'll be done with my MBA program at the end of Spring, so after that I'll be completely out of excuses for not having a high-paying, career-track job. Especially with student loan payments on the way. So, I may have to jump into a job job type job by then, and put amateur filmmaking on hold for the indefinate future. Ideally, I'll find a way to do both, but since when is this an ideal world?
As I ponder these problems and the predicament of my life, I find myself still at a loss for what I wanna be when I grow up. As it turns out, however, I'm not alone in this, and there's a very interesting article in the latest Time Magazine about it. Get a copy of the print version if you can, and especially if you find yourself in a similar quandry. Definately a good read.
Well, I'm off to bed. Got a ten page paper to write tomorrow that I've been putting off for the last possible minute, which is fast approaching. The next two sundays, there probably won't be an update since I'll be away from the editing station and rockin' with y'all in ABQ. Expect editing to resume with renewed vigor upon my return to Cali on Feb. 7.
