DOWN WITH LOVE

I'm listening to the "Down With Love" soundtrack. What a delightful movie it was. I've seen it twice. I think I'm falling into the Ewan McGregor fandom realm. (In a totally, "I admire his acting choices as being brave and bold," kind of way.)

The EMMY's are a week from tonight. Should be a gas. I'm going with my wonderful friend Sheryl. I'm sure she will look absolutely stunning that night. She's the type of girl who makes wearing a pair of jeans and a T-Shirt look positively sophisticated. I only hope the large guy accompanying her looks more like her date than like her bodyguard.

I rented my tux yesterday. Teesa helped me pick it out. And by help, I mean decided for me. It is a straight black tux. The coat is a 3/4 length coat, so it's long. I've really wanted to wear a long coat tux for a while. The shirt, and vest are both black and it's topped off with a red satin neck-tie. I go in Thursday to pick it up. Hopefully it'll look as good on me as we hope.

I guess it needs repeating, but this is the third dance with the EMMY I've had. And I don't think she's going home with me once again. But, unlike last year, I don't mind that so much this year. I know what my movie was, is, and what it means to me, and winning an award just isn't so important to me this time. I didn't make this one for the EMMY people like we did last year. This movie was more about me and my friends and family, doing something we enjoyed, together. It was an attempt to stretch ourselves on a technical standpoint. Story took a backseat. And on purpose. It wasn't about the story so much as it was about trying new things.

And I think we did a bang-up job on it. We had a great time shooting it, we pulled off some special effects we never thought we'd manage to do and we created some fond memories of time we all spent together. What more is there to any of this than that?

Anyway. Next week. I'll let you all know how it went, next week.

Ciao...
