The Whir of the Trams

This is meant to hold a spot for my final reflections on Prague.

I do love the sound of the trams...le sigh.

Well, as far as the mishap that occurred on set, I did my best to resolve it. I have a feeling the Czech's just decided to pin me with the damage once they knew I was getting a second roll of film. Whatever. I did the right thing, meh.

Once the shoot was done, I ended up helping with Alli, Josh and Jesse's shoot. They had 3 days to shoot, the first was outside. I'm actually in one shot, oi, I so cannot act, but I guess that doesn't matter. There shoot went pretty well, the first day we were next to the Charles Bridge and it was freezing. I actually left early because I had a class. The interiors were shot at Zac, Steve and Drew's place. I'm surprised we managed to pull off the party scene, though later we found out we didn't have enough coverage of the party. What a shocker.

The final week of the semester was definitely the most eventful of all. To be honest, I spent almost no time editing. There was no sound to foley and I found myself to burnt out by the whole experience to care how the cut looked. Oh well. Anyway, the first Sunday of this week I spent at Duende with Outi, Sila and Sandy. I had a pina colada and bonded with Outi and Sandy, it was great because I barely get a chance to talk to them. The next night, we had a Cinema Dance reunion and re-screened our films. Stephen and Luka keep telling me how "More Than I Can Bear" is there favorite. I'm still so mad I don't have a copy I can put online...arrrg. Maybe I'll remake it, ha. Anyhow, after that, we went to Duende with Pavel and a few of the guys from a previous Cinema Dance. They brought award winning absinthe and fukoff vodka. By the end of the evening, I'd had 2 Amaretto Sours (tasty!) and 2 shots of good absinthe. Outi realized it was hitting me when I stopped talking quickly. I bolted so I could get home before I passed out. I think I slept for 12 hours. The dream/nightmare I had was insane. I woke up 9 months pregnant and was terrified and furious, I didn't remember signing up for that! Anyhow, short version is that I ended up remembering the alcohol I consumed the past 2 days and lost the baby, I was relieved. Guess I'm not ready for motherhood.
