Twitter Updates week ending 2009-05-24

by Jason Stringer

  • Client meetings tomorrow and I have lost my mobile phone… going to be hard to coordinate!! #
  • They reckon it will rain all week here. ‘Late showers’ today – bright blue outside you teasing bastards! #
  • What happened to the good old days when EFTPOS would simply say ‘Funds Unavailable’ Now banks charge you for accidental overdraws. Pricks. #
  • Can’t edit with the sound of a sick, tired and upset sooking boy in the background. Wish he would give up and fall asleep already. #
  • Long day of clients, coffee, Perth CBD, Subiaco, hospitals and headphones… I come back to Mandurah Train Station to find a parking fine. #
  • Writing a letter to the Perth Transit Authority. Probably a waste of time but at least I get to sharpen my typing/letter-writing skills. #
  • The simplest things inspire. I had a conversation with good buddy Clint today and the urge to get cracking on screenplays was overwhelming. #
  • I’ve cut Living With Benjamin from 11 minutes down to just over 7 to fit a festival’s submission guidelines… I like this new cut better. #
  • My Name Is Earl has been canceled. I know there will be some upset peeps over this news. What a drag. #
  • Damn batteries in the kitchen clock have died… I had no idea it had gotten so late in the night (again…). #
  • Once again I am up far too early for someone who went to bed far too late. AJ wanted to beat the early birds, it was still dark out. #
  • Happy Birthday to my dear old Granddad Wal… 70 years today! Wow! http://twitpic.com/5iqwo #
  • More house hunting. All land agent secretaries seem specifically trained to sound rushed and huffy on the phone. #
  • Heading down the pub with Dad for some APL poker. Might even sink a drink while I’m at it. #
  • Did OK at the tables, didn’t get as deep as I’d liked but played a good game and enjoyed it. Going to pop BLOW into the DVD player. #
  • Drove home with the window down and the radio off, just the whistling cool breeze comfort me. The smell of rain in the air. #
  • Finally popped my BLOW cherry. Was worth the watch, glad to own it (thanks Danny!) Shame about the director less than a year later. #
  • I’m actually going to shut down and get some shut-eye. Potential rentals to view tomorrow and my head is sapped. #
  • Bucketing rain now, definitely going to bed so I can fall asleep listening to it hitting the roof. Hope it holds up! #
  • Blistering weather outside. Grey and windy, dark and gloomy. Raining. Gorgeous. Gonna brew some coffee and write write write write. #
  • Took healthy eating and carelessly threw it out the window into the dark, cold evening: Granddad made warm syrup dumplings for dessert! #
  • Rental viewings, house work, production meetings and a hospital visit all lined up today before unwinding at the VPX Grad tonight! #
  • Thoroughly enjoyed the VPX Graduation Night. I love stepping back into those FTI halls. Well done VPX grads!! #
  • I’ll mow the lawns at half time. I will. I will. #
  • Giving EMINEM’s new album Relapse a spin. So much has changed since I last enjoyed his music. Sounds a lot like 2001… meh. Average. #
  • Ah the accomplished smell of freshly cut grass. #
  • Dishes done, both kids asleep. Going to settle in for a long night of editing, desktop publishing, web development and dvd authoring. FUN!! #
  • “I was young and caught in the crowd. I didn’t know then what I know now”… Kate Miller-Heidke has won me over: http://tinyurl.com/ag8csz #
  • Going to watch Stanley Kubrick’s Boxes documentary on ABC1 later today. Looking forward to that!! #
  • Guy next door has a CHAINSAW (of all things) cranked right near our main windows. Poor AJ can’t rest, it’s excessively loud. #
  • Revamped both my blog and ‘official’ website this weekend: http://www.jasonstringer.com & http://www.quartertofour.com #
  • Finally watched THE WRESTLER. I sure didn’t expect to reflect so much during a wrestling film. Brilliant. #
