Been busy and coz I try not to go on about work on this blog there's not a lot to write about when I'm spending most of my time working. But seeing as the O so important (sarcasm!) Valentines day is upon us, I felt it necessary to speak up.
V day is dumb! It's a hallmark holiday that promotes consumerism and enforces social stereotypes that you MUST be in a couple and if you are not - why not! It also puts us back to the dark ages of sexism where it's about men needing to prove their love to women. My father used to tell us that he didn't need one day on a calendar to show my mum he loves her. He continues to buy her flowers whenever he feels like it.
Christmas is about family and it reminds me that I don't have one of my own and V day reminds me that I don't have a relationship. I'm ok with this, why is society not ok with it? It's not about me being a bitter loveless old woman, it's about me not conforming with society and not understanding the expected norm.
Anyhoo, what I can say about work is that it's really tiring doing 10 hr days and trying to maintain a social life and alcohol should not be the answer. So I ask you - why is it so tasty?
Oh - the weather!! How annoying has it been lately? Get your beach gear together and head down in time for it to cloud over and rain on you, wait an hour, it gets colder, wait another hour and the sun comes back out?!
My little short film is being shown on the big screen tomorrow night. That's pretty exciting - a little nerve -racking. Hoping it gets a good reaction and everyone gets a little giggle out of it. Also found out I am expected to get up in front of the whole theatre and speak about my film - I have no idea what i'm going to say, guess I'll just wing it.
