i finished the volunteering for the llgff on wednesday evening, which concluded with leaving when the lights came up at the floridita in a drunken stupor blabbering to a director on how much i liked her work. 

not so much that i am embarrassed by speaking to her...it's just the way i went about it makes me think that i need to lay off the juice for a bit.  this week has been overcrowded with excuses to get hammered.  almost every night has been celebrating something at the festival - a precursor for being given enough cobra to get pissed with. 

after spending the close part of two days recovering...i would say that either i've overdone it or that my age is catching up with me.  i'll go for the former answer. 

today marked the european long weekend.  everyone out of work and on the streets - to commemorate their saviour's death by eating fish...and crowding monmouth for a coffee, which is where i met up with chris.

not feeling exhibition inspired and with the spitting outside, we chose the film option.  i had been hearing/seeing adverts about let the right one in and with chris in agreement, we endured a preliminary 30 minutes (yes, i counted) of advertisements to see it.  now, i thought, i could see what the rave had been about.



suddenly, on the screen, i see the first image: backlit snow flurries introducing the opening titles.  i looked and thought it looked familiar.  it was not too much longer before the synapses fused to make me realise i was seeing a film which had already had my $10/£8 contribution.

although i am happy i saw it for a second time, due to its superb construction, i later thought that perhaps i should write more things down.
