blurgh.

I think I am going to be on a case for 6 days. Of course, I got called back for a spot that shoots day after tomorrow, but I can’t even try to get out of jury duty until I find out if I get the spot or not, so there will be some creative timing issues tomorrow. Then I have a 7:30am meeting I have to call into. Then I have all this video stuff that I need to edit but I need to do reshoots so I can’t really do what I want to do, plus I have to reschedule some interviews that I was supposed to shoot tomorrow thanks to jury duty...

I don’t actually mind going. I went awhile ago and it was a good experience and I think it’s important, it’s just funny how crappy the timing is. I am extremely frustrated right now.

But all is not bad. I had a great time reconnecting with friends this weekend, plus I was able to get a quick visit this morning before I had to run to jury duty with Maggie and Emily. I had met Maggie with her sister and her friend on a train to Cinque Terra back in 2001, and, through a long series of coincidences in Chicago, was able to introduce her to my good friend Emily, from New York, who had moved the Windy City. They are close friends now, which makes me very happy.

I am also prepping for a series of meetings that I am very much looking forward to. I can’t say anything more, but suffice to say, should things go well, life will be suddenly very, very different. And awesome. We’ll see.

So it all balances out. Still, people who schedule 7:30am conference calls are insane.
