WORLD PREMIERE TOMORROW!

Well, things here in the land of Optimism have turned to chaos!

My film, Newton's Disease is premiering tomorrow in Minneapolis! This is the first public screening of my film and needless to say I'm a bit nervous.

Here're the details:

NEWTON'S DISEASE

Thursday, October 12, 2006
The Riverview Theater
3800 42nd Ave S.
Minneapolis, MN
7:30pm
Tickets: $8

HELP US SPREAD THE DISEASE!!!


So yeah...there's the whole WORLD PREMIERE thing (what will I wear??) - I'm sending press releases, press kits, emails, phone calls and posts to MySpace at a rapid rate. We've rented the theater so we're responsible for getting butts in the seats. Egads. I'm also 150 miles from said theater so things like hanging flyers & distributing postcards have not been easy. We have some very cool people helping us out so hopefully that'll help.

On top of that we have 3 screenings in Duluth the following week which we're trying to get some press for. Lunch today will be spent scurrying around town dropping off flyers & postcards. More emails. More press releases. More phone calls.

And the cherry on top is that Steve & I are refinishing our hardwood floors this weekend! GAH! What terrible timing!! It's the only weekend though that worked for us this fall andmy Dad is SO VERY GRACIOUSLY coming up to help out so we have to take advantage of that. Not one of the three of us knows what we're doing so this should be interesting. The house is in shambles. We're presently removing EVERYTHING from the dining room, living room, front porch and teeny bedroom. Um. I have GOT to purge!! I did throw away a ton of crap today but there is more. I just don't have time right now to do it. Oh and we have to repair part of the floor before we can start sanding! Ay yi yi...

So....I will look for more wedding pics (although I think I'm about out - SEND ME YOUR PICS IF YOU HAVE THEM PEOPLE!!). The cool detail pics & other pics I keep mentioning are my photographers and I can't post them yet. :) Hopefully soon.

If you're in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, PLEASE come and check out my film. There's even a party afterwards. If you come tell me you saw this on my blog and you'll get invited to the party!

If you're in Duluth - come next week! I'll post more about that later. October 19-21 at the Playground.

If you've ever refinished hardwood floors - PLEASE SEND US YOUR GOOD HAPPY THOUGHTS!!

I should've done this a year ago....

A pandemic game time & conversation (via Zoom)   Well, we're about 13 months into this pandemic and I should've been back blogging then. I mean, I was home an awful lot. I could've done it. But I didn't. I wrote in my actual journal but that's a crazy mish-mash of stuff. This would've been fun to keep just pandemic stuff. Ah well, live and learn. I'll be ready for the next one (no, no, I won't). It's been a year...a year of ups and downs; of being laid off and re-hired; of wondering what to do with my life and starting grad school. We got fish, we got two kittens. What a year.  Kids have mostly been troopers but there have been some tough days. August went back to hybrid last fall, then everything stopped for a while and went back to 5 days a week in February - hooray! Dahlia finally got to start hybrid in.....February? (I can't remember) and then started back in person 4 days a week...but after her first 4 days she was identified as a "

Penguin Shenanigans

Image
For our 2020 Winter Reading program, there wasn't an overall theme. I decided to create my own theme. And the Penguins took over the library! I printed out real-to-life sized photographs of penguins...an Emperor, a Fairy, a Chinstrap and a Galapagos Penguin to be exact. I put them on the walls in one area. My hope was that kids would stand next to them and measure up - and they sure did! It put a smile on my face every time. Above each penguin I included some facts. Usually where they lived, what they ate and any quirky stuff about them. It's always great to be able to provide a little learning opportunity along the way. We also included penguin voting. I always think it's fun to add a pre-math activity when I can. I made 4 buckets with a photo of each of the aforementioned penguins. Kids (& adults) were able to ask for a "voting token" (ie: a saved bottle cap) at the desk and then put it in the bucket of their choice. It was fun hearing t

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.
