Ode to Productive Days
Mood:  bright
Now Playing: Rilo Kiley's "More Adventurous"

days in which things are accomplished are the best days. there is absolutely nothing like collapsing into your bed at the end of a long day knowing you you did some good.

yesterday was one such day.

i slept in and rolled out of bed at around 10am, stretched, had breakfast, and finished watching "Ghostbusters 2," which isn't nearly as good as the first one but still pretty darn entertaining. as the credits, i stirred up some fake vomit* in an old salsa jar and let it sit. i drove down to Tom's house and picked up the DVX for the film shoot. he was busy packing and preparing for the move, so i didn't stay long.

on my way home with the camera, i swung by Ledford Hall, where i was going to shoot the bulimia scene (for my now titled "Stone Silent" PSA). i inspected the bathroom and specifically the toilet where we were going to shoot to make sure our actress wouldn't pick up some communicable disease while pretending to vomit.

i met Ruthie at 2pm and went and shot the gag-inducing scene. we were done by 3pm and i brought her back to my apartment, where she jumped into her car and left.

Marshall and i spent some time playing "Alien Hominid" and "Resident Evil 4" before i took him over to Collegedale Academy so he could go through freshman orientation.

on my way home, i stopped by my parents' house and picked up a box of pictures i needed to sort through for wedding's slide show i need to begin work on. i sorted through the pictures while i watched "Chris Rock: Never Scared" and thoroughly enjoyed myself. there's nothing like sorting through old pictures to bring a smile to your face.

especially when those pictures are pictures from San Pasqual Academy you didn't know you had. oh don't you worry. i'll be sharing those ASAIFAS**.

i tucked myself into bed, read a few more pages of "V For Vendetta" and went to sleep.

all in all, a very productive and fulfilling day.

today the local private schools (elementary and high schools) start back up, which is exciting, as my brother is now a freshman and i begin my teaching job.

oh, didn't i tell you? Spalding Elementary has asked me to teach a photography class and today's my first day! send up a prayer for the students and wish me luck!

* great fake vomit recipe: salsa, left over (and slightly chewed) Chinese, a little soda (i used Big Red), and a little milk.
