Basement yesterday night



i went to basement yesterday night to have a bit of fun. it did not make me happy. i could barely move. i felt awkward. anyway, there were a lot of people, it was packed. but i had feeling no one was really super hyped. i might be projecting, and most probably mistaken, but it felt more as fasshett khele2 then anything else. there was no genuine fun. but it was cool, i love it when there some trance tune and it starts building up and people all start jerking their hands forward in unison, and then when the music bursts the whole crowd explodes and goes back to a regular but energetic throbbing... awesome... made me smile... i guess coz it was the first time i saw people doing something together. hehe.

i am so tired today. happy tired. tired coz yesterday i spent all day with youmz and t photoshooting our new stop motion animation. woohooo!!! finally, self initiated physical labor that strains my muscles and culminates in a creative produce that reminds me of why i chose this and ‘this’ is hard to define profession/vocation and makes me proud of myself. sth to add to the portfolio. sth to remind me that to a certain extent i have it better than others, that i should stop grovelling in self-pity when am down, coz i can do things, produce and work in a field that i love.
la positive attitude! haha

and today we're working on editing, on the music and the visual style. i like it! animation baby!
we'll be entering it in namleh at3a, and will be screened within the 2 weeks.
