Shorts, shorts, shorts

My latest volunteer gig is as a juror for the Cleveland International Film Festival. It's fun! I have to watch 6-7 shorts each week for 10 weeks. Each submission is reviewed by three of us preliminary jurors, and our composite scores determine whether or not the film makes it to committee. The compensation is an all-access pass to the festival, including a keycard to the hospitality suite. I hung out there a bit last year, so fun!

The films I reviewed today took me through a series of emotions. I started with one that actually made me cry, about a husband and a wife who both have cancer and miraculously were able to have a child. The film had some quality issues, which meant I had to give it a lower score, but the plot made me cry. Then there was a terrible film about cliche post-divorce father-son issues. Then a thrilling and intense short about Guantanamo Bay trials. Next was a left-field foreign flick about a man with a hemorrhoid. Seriously. It was about his love-hate relationship with it. Odd, but enjoyable. Now I'm watching a short about a bromance between a man and his boss, ripe with double entendre.

I'm enjoying this experience. It's Me Time, ya know. I kick back in my room, pop in the movies and type my short reviews. I'm very thankful that I get to help out with such a big event and that it guarantees me some personal time. Sunday morning coffee, homemade breakfast and film. Even bad films. Even films about hemorrhoids.

And, scene!

(no subject)

Is it wrong that I
- like Gossip Girl?
- I'm always 15 minutes late for work?
- wearing pants two sizes too big?


Did you know that I
- don't care for running into people from high school. They all talk like a bunch of whiny valley girls with their, "Like, OMG, it's Tim M., like, hey!" And I'm like, heffa' please, you from Ohio."?
- prefer straight bars to gay bars, because the men are often cuter?
- used to be nearly bilingual, but now I can't even remember the Spanish word for taco?


Nothing irks me more than
- this whole Cleveland Pride mama-drama. Note to queer Cleveland: Get. Over. It.
- the cook downstairs who automatically puts cheese on my sammie even though I don't want it, and every day I have to ask him to take it off, and he gets all surly (either because he just wasted the cheese or he doesn't understand how someone could not love cheese).
- heavy East side traffic.


I am simply in love with
- Lesbians on Ecstasy -- what a killer band!
- the entire Shiseido Men line.
- Nate and Dan from Gossip Girl.


Late at night, I dream about
- a utopian future.
- Dallas Cowboys locker room fantasies.
- being famous, or at least being chased by TMZ.


Since April I have
- lost 83 pounds.
- stopped smoking.
- cut the games.

Dream job

Add to Memories Tell a Friend

My dream job is to do nothing, but look fabulous, and be paid for it. Sort of like Paris Hilton, but with class and style (and a clue). 

I'm having  a lot of trouble being motivated to write some copy for a brochure and work on some e-promotions. My boss is waaaaaaay behind on his own tasks, so that no one's really checking to make sure I'm doing what I should be doing. When I was a department director, I could never get away with this. Now that I'm an assistant director at a gigantiloth organization, it seems it's pretty easy to slack off and not get called on it. 

However, there' s not much going on in the Cleveland Rants and Rave's on Craigslist, so I guess I'm going to have to do some work. Sigh. What's my deal today? Horoscope.com says I should be having a four-star day. I think it's because of my boss. His lack of motivation/interest/complacency with being behind on projects has trickled down to me. If he's not excited about this stuff, why should I be? That's so not in my nature. But then again, this is the first time I've worked for such a large organization, that maybe slackery is just part of the culture. 

I'd ask one of my co-workers who has been here for a long time but he's at the coffeehouse next door flirting with the college-girl baristas. And I think another person I could talk to is shopping on Amazon.com. I may never know the answer to this.

Every cookie recipe ever...

...can be found here.

Seriously, like Every. Single. Cookie. Ever.

I planning on doing some baking for the holidays. It's a great stress-reliever...and cookies make nice gifts for the co-workers/borderline acquaintance set. I may even try making my favorite cookie, the time-tested snickerdoodle.

Here we go.

Essentially, I faked my blog death elsewhere and am starting anew here--anonymously. I needed a place to whine and vent and talk about people behind their backs. 

Seriously, I'm on a voyage of self-discovery, or some shit like that. And I like to type.

Here's to me using my noodle.

Cheers.
