Not So Fast!

Well, the film ISN'T done yet! The last few weeks have been hell. Well not hell, but close. The masters I sent to the distributor has technical problems with them. And the blue scratches I may have mentioned in some scenes had to be corrected with better digital technology than was used before.

We got rid of some of the scratches but not all. So I had it sent out to have them all corrected. But with digital technology you can fix almost anything. So it'll be a bit longer.

But. My job is secure. The union just secured another three year contract so I have job security and good pay and benefits for years to come.

There's been some mix ups at my job. They split apart the entire IT department. Half of us are upstairs and half us are downstairs. What the hell? All because someone of another department, a manager of some sort wanted people in his department located near his offices where IT previously was. Half anyway. Idiots, corporate idiots.

I'm knocking back the Chimay tonight and feeling pretty mellow. I went with an old female friend to the Regent Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills for my birthday. We spent the weekend ordering in room service, lying in bed, watching movies, swimming in the pool, hanging out, having sex. It was pretty cool.

I thought she'd find it a lame idea. Just going to a five star hotel and ordering in room service for the weekend. And having sex. But she loved the idea. It got her out of her humdrum life. And I finally managed to fuck her again for the first time in years. I had been fantasizing about her endlessly for some reason.

Why? Because I already knew her. And she was not a new person I had to go out and meet. Easier just to contact someone you already met. Even briefly. So we e-mailed each other for a long, long time. Until I finally suggested the weekend and we did it. And we actually did IT again! For the first time in years. But...she was quite the little freak.

I love room service. It is a beautiful thing. It's my favorite thing about hotel life. And my favorite thing about Vegas.

I still need a regular friend with benefits that's local though. Need to get out of the house and find that. But I fear I never will.

But we shall see, we shall see. The rollercoaster of life still travels on for your trepid adventurer, dear reader, it travels on...

Blessed be.
