it's may and i am back


damn. many lovely and sad things i am sure have taken place in the last days, like almost 90 days.
i made a little film 'shaken like a rug'. we won best score, which was awesome. working with scotty, lisa, jared and josh was intense and very productive. i hope our little tuesday production continues to make films, that blur reality from cinema, as our papa godard says: 'everything is cinema'.

i got my own permanent show on krcl, 90.9 fm every friday at 6 pm. it is really cool and exciting, i am not sure how it all happened, but somehow now i have my own show! so far i got to interview mormon nudists, playwrite, director and actor of "the tricky part', ex mayor rocky anderson, tanja katan, author of 'my one night stand with cancer' and most excitingly i get to interview new yorker film critic richard brody, who wrote who just finished his biography on jean-luc godard!

i finished my 2nd year of journey called graduate school. as much as i worried not finishing all of my class work, it actually happened and i actually got good grades.

diner, drive ins and dives show from food network came and filmed at the blue plate, which should air in the fall. they mostly filmed john who is good at being in front of the camera. i was hiding, being embarrassed, shy... i am sure there was side of me that wished i was forced to be in front of camera.

dagny is almost done with her 7th grade. nothing 'bad' has happened so far, that's good. i worry always, non stop. last night watched 'juno'. it reminded me of myself. i was so young. so alone, so scared. i hope one day dagny realizes how hard it all was. she has been talking about exhibiting her photographs. i want to help her find a place, but she wants to do it herself. i hope she has thick enough skin, that if people say no, she doesn't give up. some of her photographs are absolutely beautiful. i also accidentally put a cd in a player other day not knowing what it was and it was a song she recorded and sang and wrote. it is so fucking beautiful. she seems to be really talented, but somehow she doesn't give a shit about it. maybe it is just part of being a teenager.
