Hey, we can get a mortgage! So we’re going to get a house. In Ann Arbor. That’s fantastic. That’s one big step forward, I’m thinking. Also extremely pleasing is the fact that I now have enough cool movies for a ninety-minute Cinema Slam<\/a>–the short film program I’m running at the Michigan Theatre on February 3rd.<\/p>\n

American Short Film<\/i>, the 15 minute comedy I’ve been working on, needs to be finished by Monday to be included. I’ve got one more sound tape to transfer, sound rushes to sync up, audio to mix, titles to prepare and a little grading to do, but it’s going to get done. Oh, yes–it will be done. And that’s three steps forward.<\/p>\n

Step four was the meeting with Jim, our new accountant today. I can see the whole Ascalon Films<\/a> thing working having spoken to him. It was all very positive.<\/p>\n

Now, of course, you’re all reading this wondering if there could possibly perhaps be a fly in the ointment, a spanner in the works, or even perchance a step back. Four steps forward and one step back? Well, yes. Yes there is. The shipping company<\/a> have emailed me. They can’t find my paintings. Four pieces of art plus one large framed photograph which they were supposed to crate up and ship from St Albans, UK, to Ann Arbor, US. They’ve lost them. <\/p>\n

Yes, the only irreplaceable objects in the whole consignment from England and the incompetent morons at Dolphin Movers<\/a> aka Aero Frieght<\/a> have lost them. I should have guessed they were a bunch of complete tools when the guy turned up to collect them without the blankets they had promised they were going to wrap them on the way to be crated. I highly recommend NOT using these people<\/a> for your shipping needs.<\/p>\n

Now I have to file an insurance claim but England is closed after 5pm because everyone only works an eight hour day there, including an hour for lunch (paid), so it will have to wait. Bastards. I’m not amused. I expect you can tell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
