I love seeing my family, but my view of home from the train window fills me with joy.

The next one will be better.

I took an imovie class at the Apple store the other day and I made my first movie. Right now I’m waiting while imovie uploads it to YouTube … I’m amazed that it has this feature.  Will it work? It seemed to be frozen, now I’m trying to do it the old fashioned way, but having trouble exporting. Nothing is ever easy, is it? Although I’m making movies and uploading them for all the world to see, and doing this all instantly.  I’m old enough to still be blown away by this.

Meanwhile, I’m going out to LI later today to visit family.  

They’re filming The Sorcerer’s Apprentice in the city.  My poor friend Jackie lives where they were shooting last night (and other nights?) and has had these lights blaring in her windows.  I enjoy watching filming when I have no particular place to go.  I was sympathetic with the poor people in their cars honking.  They were held up and held up, being told shooting was about to take place, but the shooting wasn’t happening and finally it was honk honk honk.  I didn’t blame them.  

This crew wasn’t bad though.  Some are real assholes, and I, like most people, ignore them and ruin shots.  You have to ask politely.  These guys were nice so I waited to cross the street.  It occurs to me though, given how people are, maybe those asshole crew people started out nice, but then after a couple of hours of asking people not to ruin the shot and getting a lot of asshole-responses in return they turn into assholes?  

I only respond badly to the rude, entitled, “we’re shooting a movie here and all the world has to suspend their lives for our very important work, for whatever you are doing is unimportant in comparison, and I don’t have to be polite because you are all like cave people compared to us, in fact, are you even human, why am I even talking to you, I should be able to just shove you out of our way.”

The rain changes my plans a bit for today.  Oh, everyone, see the movie UP. Very sweet, funny, loved it.  So today.  Hmmm.  I’m scheduled for an imovie class this afternoon at the Apple store, and I’m going to a Parapsychology Foundation lecture tonight, but I’m not sure about other things I have planned.  I’ll see how I feel in the next hour or two.

I took this yesterday looking out the window at Veselka.
