let it rain
Heatwave here in New York. And apparently a cursory glance at any television news weather map reveals that no, global warming isn't really anything, nothing to see here. While it's true that aberrational weather has happened in the past, with temperatures to match recorded in Central Park around the '30s I believe, we're going from aberrational heatwaves to this kind of summer becoming standard. I've been reading a book of JG Ballard quotes lately here and there and I'd like to posit as he does - soon summer time will be the most dreaded of all seasons, and our cyclical nature will shift slightly to accomodate. Summer vacation will be seen as poisonous, people will flock to movie theaters and subway cars to avoid the heat, and soon we'll have palm trees in Toronto. Spring will soon become the tourist season of choice.
Still having to apologize for not blogging more. Today I just wrote a treatment for CSS. I was dreading writing it for some unspecified reason and thought I'd be up all night and all of a sudden it just came out in a torrent. Right after standing in the downpour that arrived in Brooklyn this afternoon, greeted on the streets by cheers.
We're also finishing up a DVD for The Decemberists. It's coming together really amazingly, better than I could've hoped for due to the talents and dilligence of a great many people who have worked on it as a passion project. I think it's going to be one of the most exceptional DVDs ever put out by a band on a label of KRS' stature at the time they were on it. Not to slight KRS, labels like this just don't have money to pour into fixing production problems. I think we've surpassed our problems with our care. It's playing in the background right now and damn I will watch this from time to time when I miss the band's live show.
I will not be doing the video for the band's first single on Capitol, as instead the rather wonderfully talented Cat Solen will who I've posted about before. They wanted to do something more with animation than live action.
What to say about day two on the last video? It was really, really hard. For all my hyper attenuated focus while shooting, I can barely remember what happened the next day. I guess it's like making out. You wish you could remember what it was like to the extent you can feel it, but you never can.
Maybe watching the footage again will jog my memory... More later. I'm still having problems posting pictures to blogger.
