Tomatoes and videos

Still no news on either project, life is slowing down and I hate it. I cook to keep myself busy, yep, yet again my award-winning tomato sauce. Maybe one day I'll publish the recipe. This weekend I also wanna make some pizza, I have to check out the oven in this apartment, haven't done it yet. Well, this is not true, last Sat I made a quiche and it was quite tasty, or perhaps the guys were just really hungry, who knows.
I'm feeling a little under the weather, self esteem is getting close to absolute 0... Wow! My physics teacher would be proud of me for this sentence. Apparently she's always been, even when I was staring at the wall 'cause I didn't know the answer to the question she asked. At least this is what my Mom is always telling me.
I'll be better as soon as something happens. Or maybe I have to make it happen, you could argue. And you'd be right.
Right, I wanna share something funny with all of you. Today, for the first time in my life, I uploaded a couple of videos on the internet. Of course, about my cat, Misi. So here we go, it's not art, but it's all I have at the moment. And I wanna learn some more about this, have some material from the days in Hong Kong and Egypt. More to come, be afraid, be very afraid. (OK, this is from a movie, although I don't remember which one).
So, enjoy, or not, as always :)

Somewhere over the rainbow

There is so much I'd like to tell you, but I think I need to get some more distance from all of this. I've seen it, the editing is finished, we need to do some more post, and then we're done. Finally!
I felt a little empty on Sunday, I always do after the shoot is over. Guess 'cause my adrenaline level was sky high and then it dropped suddenly. Saturday we had a fun night, with lots of... well, you know, we partied and let some of the steam out. The day after I was in bed all day long, watching films, eating and feeling down. Four weeks I have spent working on this. For four weeks there was basically nothing else than the movie. It's not an awfully long time, but I have a tendency to live very intensely. To get really involved. To feel everyone's energy, good or bad. Too much perhaps. And that is exhausting.
Then the void comes. It ain't a pretty place to be. You have to go down to the bottom in order to rise again. From your own ashes. I guess I'm still burning.
And no news about my novel yet. Probably this contributes to my general feeling of uselessness. I want an answer, either way it goes. Then I can figure out what to do. I know there will be plenty to do, if only I could see it already...

Good night and thanks for all the fish

It's over. The shoot is done. Wow. I'm speechless. Well, I was in the cab on the way home this morning, in my 25th hour of work, shaking from the lack of sleep and rest, and... The sky was dark, it was raining a little and traffic was terrible. Me, I was exhausted. In a good sense, of course.
I must say, it does take a hell of a lot of energy to do something good, great, even if you're just supporting those who create.
I could feel all the stress and the vibes in the room. My aura was imprisoned in a tiny space for a while. I had to get away, but couldn't. I had to be there, we were doing something. Y'all see.
There were moments, though, when it all seemed in vain. But "we" were smart and knew how to fight. How to be better and bigger than "them". And we won, despite their numbers. They were more than us, believe me. (Yep, I must see 300!!!) The only difference? We had a goal and they hadn't. We were motivated. We were fighting, peacefully.
All right, I know all of this sounds like nonsense, but it ain't. And the only people who understand this is us.
So, whatever happens now, we did everything that was in our power. Ultimately, that is why I chose this business.
And now I'd like to thank anyone that has ever contributed to bringing me into this project. Even if it was just destiny.
What will happen next I don't know and right now don't really care.
Can't think of a proper movie quote, sorry guys, but I do accept suggestions :)

One day in Heaven

First day of shoot. One down, another one to go. I really do wish it was a feature, two days only seem to be a walk in the park. But they're not. Today was easy, well, sort of, but it felt like magic.
Tomorrow I'll be working 24 hours. In fact, it'll be today. Wish me luck, it's not going to be easy, but I'll survive. No matter what.
And the end result will be awesome, believe me, I've seen the shots.
And although I consider myself as an agnostic, God bless us all... 'cause I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
May the force... you know the rest.

Houston, we're ready to launch...

Yes, the moment has come. We are ready to shoot :). It's gonna be wild and I think more fun than I have ever imagined it would be. I've worked with lots of talented and professional people before, but this time... this time we couldn't be more prepared. Creatively. I feel very good vibes. I almost wish it was a feature. In fact I do wish it was. Maybe next time.
Until then, fasten your seatbelt, Dorothy, 'cause Kansas is going bye bye...
Ladies and Gents, let's rock and roll!

Welcome South America!

Guys! Thanks! Let's welcome South America, after China and India, among my readers :) I know, perhaps the word sex (oops, here I go again) is to blame for my increasing readership... but hey, whatever turns you guys on.
Anyway, thanks, and please, do keep reading :)
Africa and Australia are next on the list.
Just keep up the good work.
And don't forget the older post...

A new hope...

Please take a look and do comment. Anything. I appreciate. I'm counting on you.

Thanks.

Sex and the city...

Fun night on the town, met friends I haven't seen for a while and oh boy, the usual faces and stories. I just wonder when this city will change, if ever. Well, not so much the city, just half of it, yeah, the male half. The stories I could tell, but I won't, somebody has already written that book. No, I'm not talking dirty details, we don't kiss and tell... But guys, I mean, really, how hard is it to be a little more laid back and easy going? Let's say you're standing at the counter in a bar, talking with a friend and looking at two girls chatting. They look back at you, you smile, they smile. After a while, 'cause it's the 21st century after all, one of the girls comes up to you and just very casually tells you that she and her friend would like to have a chat with you, if you'd like. I'm talking pretty girls. And they don't wanna get laid, or get married, just have a chat. Anywhere else in the world this would be a regular Saturday night. But here?
Is there something I'm not getting? Is there like a secret code? Are you afraid of something?
Ever heard of seizing the day and enjoying it while it lasts? 'cause it won't forever. And we could get hit by and asteroid...
Oops, there's a spider climbing up my window! Where is a man when you need one?
Never mind, I'll handle it.
Gotta go wash my hair :)

Spring is definitely here...

I'm very very bad with titles, I know, give me a break on that one.
The good news is, spring has arrived and is here to stay. Also, I'm getting really close to my ideal weight. And I'm not doing much about it, just not eating. Not in an anorexic way, it's just that there is so much to do at work and anyway that eating doesn't seem top priority right now. On the other hand, that is not true either. I eat a lot of pasta, seems like the Mediterranean diet is really working.
No news on the novel yet, my editor is a little slow (and if you're reading this, please do read faster!). I'm not panicking... yet.
Now it's time to enjoy the holidays, two more days of sleeping, watching TV and relaxing.
Next week we shoot, that's gonna be fun, you have no idea. I'm serious :) I'll let you know when we're done. And after that it'll be party time! Already have some ideas in mind, oh yeah, it's gonna be wild... I've already figured out what to wear :)
What am I gonna do after that? Don't ask me just yet, we'll cross that bridge when we get there (again, from a movie, only this time I don't know which one).
Bye for now, have fun and let things happen!

Captain's log

Yep, I told you so, hell IS about to break loose. In fact, it just did. I guess I'm just tired. Or not, I don't know.
News on the novel by Saturday. I'll keep you posted.
Sorry guys, just not in the best of shapes today, but I had to write something. I have to write. Anything. Need to keep my mind busy. To keep the creative juices flowing. To use up all the energy I was given. Not easy, that one I can tell. Right now, routine only. And I smoke too much, I have to stop that. Must quit!
I'd love to get away, somewhere really, really far. Can't. But after all, tomorrow is another day... (yes, this one is from Gone with the wind).
So much for my stream of consciousness, and before I get even more pathetic...
End of transmission.

Weekend update

Back to hiking, finally, after a six months' gap. It felt so good, the clean air, the smell of the plants... sometimes I envy the people living outside Budapest. Only in the weekends, though, only in the weekends.
Anyway, the 6 hour trip felt good, pity that the rain came down on us about half way through, but it didn't really matter.
And the itinerary was perfect. From the top of the mountain (it's really a hill, but as we do not have proper mountains in Hungary, we call our hills that way) you could see the Danube and the Visegrád castle. This is about 45 km north of Budapest, if you've never been there, you should definitely visit. I'll go with you, I love that area.
I didn't feel tired at all when I got home, but it was probably the higher level of oxigen in the air that made me fall asleep in the bathtub as soon as I got home... Luckily Freddy was out of town, you know I mean :) Is there anyone out there reading my jokes or am I only entertaining myself? Which is fine, I have no problem whatsoever with it, just wondering.
Anyway, tomorrow is Monday and hell is about to break loose at work. In a good sense, I'm not complaining.
Oh yes, novel finished, to be printed and delivered to the publisher tomorrow evening.
Keep your fingers crossed!!!

Hate TV...

Actually, that's not entirely accurate (now, who am I quoting and from which movie?)
Seriously, I don't hate TV, the soaps are relaxing and some series are much better than most films they show at the cinema these days. OK, haven't been to the movie's lately... so what was my point again?
Oh yes, I remember now! I just shouldn't turn on the TV when they show the news. 'Cause even the national TV news have become so incredibly boring, they only tell you who killed and robbed who, who got blown up in some very distant country I have barely heard about... I mean of course I'm sorry for them, but give me a break! This kinda things should be on the last page of a tabloid, not on the seven 'clock news on national TV!
But enough of this s..t, I'm just a little tired, had a loooong, and funny, day yesterday and I missed the latest episode of Desperate Housewives (no, I'm not addicted!!!). Today too many vampires (don't even think about getting me started on that one). Luckily I got the tape, will prepare a tasty salad, wash my hair and sit in front the telly together with my favourite guy, Misi.
After all (to end it with another film quote) tomorrow is another day.
(please feel free to take wild guesses)
