This has been an obscenely long week for me.  But knock on wood, things are still going pretty well.  I just knocked out the Porkchop sequence of Isn’t She Lovely, and it feels like it could be a nice little short film/trailer for the feature.  That might just be first draft euphoria though; so give me a couple days on that one. 

My Christmas gift to myself this year was to get my first Blu-Ray player.  Hopefully this weekend I’ll get to write about it in a little more detail but let me say this:  if you are either a techno geek or in my case, a movie geek, at some point you have to invest in one of these.  I have far from the ideal home entertainment setup, but I’m already in love with this thing.  It took all of five minutes for me to notice this difference, in picture and in sound.  I had to throw back in one of my old DVDs to make sure I wasn’t overhyping myself, but trust me, I wasn’t.  This bad boy’s already got me reorganizing the rest of my furniture so I can invite people over to watch movies on the rare occassion I feel like staying in.
