I am sitting at my desk at my day job today cranky because I don't feel like I had a weekend. I am thrilled that I got such a great interview on Saturday with Todd my community partner for the live performance of "Voices of the Homeless."
But in order to do a decent editing job on this documentary, knowing full well that I have never edited a video before, I've also started a side project. A practice video, if you will. I am making a 3-5 minute video of my Tai Chi teacher, Judy Scott. I've taped her teaching class, doing the form by herself, and I've got two interviews of her. (Two because one of them has her sitting in a beautiful garden where all the shrubs behind her are in focus while Her Face is slightly OUT of focus. Grrrrrr.) And all this so I can have a video to practice on so I don't sit down to edit "Voices of the Homeless" and ruin the whole thing.
So yesterday, Sunday, once again I dragged out the heavy equipment this time to my Tai Chi class to get more footage of Judy.
All this to say what a capital "C" Crab I feel like today. Taping ate up my whole weekend and I'm feeling like a brat who didn't get her play time.
No, I don't forget how lucky I am. But no, that doesn't stop me from feeling tired today and pretty bratty.
