Whoop! Been shortlisted for the Sydney Short & Sweet festival for Keeping Annabelle. Mind you I was also shortlisted for the Melbourne one and that came to nothing, so will try not to get too excited. The lovely Rocketleaf has also been shortlisted. Should we both get performed obviously we'll have to organise an exodus to Australia.
Went to the fabulous Le Comptoir for supper on Saturday night - we had the pleasure of skimpily clad Belly Dancers gyrating at our table as well at one point. It's a shame the table was filled with women and gay men - they certainly didn't have the audience they aim for there. Great to watch though. Sure, no where near as much as what I could have been watching on Saturday - WICKED. Back in July I was up at 8am on Sunday morning, frantically hanging on the phone to buy tickets for myself, Bron and the Chorley gang. Had the inspired choice of going the Saturday before Halloween - any excuse to dress up in silly clothes. But alas, this job dragged me away and luckily there was someone to buy my ticket so at least I didn't lose out on the cost. Just the experience. So to make up for it I went and got steaming drunk with some of Production in a rather camp underground bar - this time with scampily clad men twirling flaming batons. Rather near some over-gelled heads too - rather worrying. Managed to get into the VIP area as our Stunt boys had managed it - how at first I didn't know, but after meeting Male-Model-StuntMan after StuntMan I began to cotton on. (Don't worry, Cheesm - I was on my best behaviour).
Woke up Sunday morning remembering why it is I don't really like getting drunk. Mine was not a happy head and it stayed pretty much in bed all day. Luckily I was blessed with good movies on the TV - The Score, The Three Amigos (one of my alltime favourites), O Brother Where Art Tho (another favourite) and Enemy At The Gates, which I'd never seen before but enjoyed very much. Plus it gave me some enforced rest - with Sunday as your only completely free day you feel pressured to 'do stuff', when really you should just sodding sleep. So I'm feeling rather perky and good today.
In other Morocco news, the weather had been moderately good - but not for our film crew up the Atlas Mountains. Flooding roads, mud slides and tents being blown away and a hotel with only enough rooms for half of them and no way off the mountain. Fun fun. Once more I am appreciating my dusty little desk.
