Of talking beds and pouring rain!!
It feels good to have the car back and that too without the dent in the door. It cost me a fair bit to get it fixed but I figured that it needed to be done so that I did not have to buy another car at the end of the year.It has been pouring down the whole weekend - a sudden change from 7 continous day of sunshine, and all I have done is watched about 12 episodes from the second season of 'Arrested Development' (brilliant as usual!!!) and also watched 'Brick' - an independent flick which is a genre blender - a film noir set in a high school. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is definitely an actor to look out for because of the creative choices he is making. Brick was a taut thriller and it worked for me. You loose track of their lingo at times but still the movie never lets go of the grip it has on you.

I did go and play paintball along with Dean, Becks, Jono, Troy, Max and a whole lot of other people (friends of friends) on Sunday afternoon. It was heaps of fun and great physical exercise. I am still a bit sour in the chest and the thigh from the hits but it isn't too bad as the experience was exhilirating to say the least.

The war zone was those pine trees behind the shed.
Budgeting for '5' is proving to a bit more of a challenge than I thought- despite the fact that it is going to be a low budget movie. I am tossing figures in my head between marketing/promotion costs, insurance costs, production costs. The plan is to try and earn the production costs back this time around and also to make a profit. If you are a low budget movie - it is just that much harder to get publicity and an audience - in order to earn your money back. It is a different kind of challenge but am loving this one for precisely that reason.
On a completely random note - Coke has opened a $25 million bottling plant in Afghanistan and the media is projecting it as a way of kick starting that economy. What a load of bullshit!!!! People have to survive first in order to buy anything and for that an essential would be health services - not some western fizzy drink. Wake up people!!!
Anyway - I will be sitting my practical driving license tomorrow morning. Hopefully I won't run into any unexpected problems this time around.
Till later,
Amit
