Status: Worn out, but so glad it's over
I finished my film today.
I left the bouquet of flowers (real ones, not straw) there on the grave at which we filmed. I felt it proper to honour Kay Kendall Harrison since we kind of used her.
In other news, a bunch of us went souvenir shopping today. Have no fear, parents. We went to probably the cheapest market I have ever seen. It looked a lot like the street markets in New York on the weekends. My prayer is that the shirts I bought won't fade. None of them have a peel-able print, so that should be okay. We'll see. I won't wash or wear them until I get home and ask my mom. She knows the answer to all clothes related questions.
Last night, Sara, Betsy and I went to see Home which is a French film. It's about a family who lives in a house just off of an abandoned highway. They have the entire road and surrounding grass areas and they use them, biking and sitting outside to watch movies and playing street hockey. Then, construction workers start coming around and the highway is repaved and cars start traveling on it again. The result of the noise and the business of the highway is altogether terrifying, heartbreaking, and totally interesting from a psychological point of view. I truly enjoyed it.
Tomorrow night, we see Penn's last gift to us, Swan Lake. It was so long ago that he gave us the tickets, but since it's coming up, I'm quite excited.
So, y'all have been with me for almost 7 weeks now and I've told you EVERYTHING I've been doing in London. Is there anything that I've left out that you think I need to do? Mind you, I can't really travel out of London at this juncture, but if there's something that you feel I needed to do to have the "London Experience" that I haven't yet done, lemme know.
Okay. Time to chill out and enjoy the FREE afternoon with the sheer knowledge that my film is done done done. Yay
Pip pip, cherrio and all that rot
I can't wait to see you again, Miss Korytowsky. Will you let us see the film you created?

If I can find a way to edit the sucker, sure, you'll see it. I can guarentee that's it's not going to be pretty...^_^ but, if I can find a way to get the mini DV tapes onto some kind of editing program, I'll see what I can do
