intertextuality:neil gaiman,facebook,hindsight,blogger,stomach cramps,frosties,michelle branch,and oh where was my mind the horror the horror

it is a daily ritual for me. i will check my hotmail account, my ntu webmail account, facebook, and friends' blogs.

monday night. erwin and i pleaded our way to a few stolen hours of editing to correct the minor error in the mov version of our film. and then of course naturally nothing personal it's all just a sad joke, the audio for our actual film to be shown ONLY the next day was screwed. shagged, crazy hair, haywire facial muscles screwed. mutilated screwed.

and thus ensued the craziest bout of editing i had ever done, the fastest i've heard erwin speak in avidtalk, probably for the rest of our lives. and we thought that was the worst of it.

at approximately 12.15am, i deleted the entire visual sequence.

you know when people say how joy, sorrow, anger immobilises them? i declare all such bullshit. because there is nothing, NOTHING that compares to fear. nada. zilch. uh uh, your flowers, fresh or wilted, do not even come close to pure fear. it's like an acohol-allergic downing a BATHTUB of chivas 18yo whiskey (the foulest liquid to pass my lips i swear).

this paragraph is dedicated to erwin in respect for his undoubtedly greater shock and immobility. looking at me delete sequence after sequence must put him off mouse clicks this life and the next, i fathom.

so. our film was screened in class today, erwin's blog says the audio was fine though i have to admit the whole thing seemed as skewed as the first time i watched it, i can never watch a zombie film the same way again HOW DID YOU DO IT MY GOODNESS ME YOU ARE GENIUSES HOW DO YOU TALLY EACH GROAN AND SNARL MY MY MY -

this friday i am meeting erwin again for the final touch-ups and exporting of the mov version. GAHD i hope i never see him again. and trust me it's not mutual. it's hugely skewed. i only cringe when i see him but he, like, pukes when he sees me. sigh
