Marathon Sunday
8 September 2008Okay, so my dearest love, the TubeZombie, has been working on a project today.
Please keep in mind that we live in an apartment while you’re reading this post. It’s a decent-sized apartment, actually. But when I say things like “kitchen”, please take the image of a kitchen, perhaps inspired by the kitchen in your home, and cut the size in half. Ready? Here goes.
TZ is working on a movie trailer. He’s learning as he goes, so I can’t make a lot of promises about when one (other than myself) might actually have the opportunity to see said movie trailer. “Is that because he’s not very good at it?”, you might ask. On the contrary. He’s spectacular. (I might be slightly biased.) The problem is that my dearest is a perfectionist. So, it won’t be available for public consumption until it is perfect.
For most of today, there has been a 10′ x 12′ green-screen in my kitchen. There have been professional lights in my kitchen and living room. I have to do a near-military-style obstacle course to get my favorite reptilian-named beverage from the fridge. You might think I’m ranting. Not even close. Not yet, anyway. I love TZ’s projects. He learns a lot. He’s really happy while trying to work out every single, teeny-tiny, so-small-a-gnat-would-never-see-it kink…but I digress. I’m happy that he’s happy.
The TubeZombie likes background noise. I’m pretty partial to it myself. Our background noise of choice is the tube (hence, the entry here) and, for today, the History Channel. They’ve been playing a marathon of Ice Road Truckers since we turned it on sometime this morning. Seriously. I’ve been watching/listening to/absorbing osmotically episodes for about 13 hours straight - with a couple of breaks for lunch and dinner. All leading up to the season finale, which is playing right now. But, it’s bedtime so I’m afraid we’re gonna miss the end. Because I need my beauty sleep…and there’s lots of reading to do tomorrow. I may even spend a little quality time with the tube.
