Today is art film day. I just feel like watching one. Maybe after I do some studying. Argh.

I get today and tomorrow off work. Glorious! I shall not go anywhere near work. But sadly I do have to go to the city for something.

Classes are out of the way so the main antagonists of my concerns include work and exams. That is really about it. I couldn't be bothered about anything else. I did the right thing volunteering for the film festival. It was nice doing dumb things sans all the care in the world. I get to watch random films, too which would be a plus anytime anyday.

The docos: 1. Tupac Resurrection, 2. Haunting Douglas. These are the main films I've seen. The Tupac one was done by MTV so the style is very MTV Biorhythm, which I am a big fan of. It got a tad too long though as it dragged on for two hours. How verbose can one get telling somebody's life story? Believe me, I bet it was easy to get carried away.

Haunting Douglas is kiwi. It was the life of Douglas Wright, a choroeographer. It was interesting to see excerpts of his dances. I think that was the main source of my fascination. It was not so much on the style of the film as consistency was a bit off and it seemed like something I can do (read: amateurish).

I walked out of a few films due to dislike and slept through one Antonioni classic. The film just lost me after 15 minutes of trying to read subtitles without my visual aid whilst sitting far back the State Theatre (a more for plays than movies theatre). Other volunteers enjoyed their nap time, too thanks to Antonioni.

Yeah and so I did the dumb stuff of handing out voting slips, collecting votes and counting them thereafter whilst on shift at the festival. I ditched my shift yday cos I was really tired from my paid job. Nonetheless, it's still interesting to have a look around. It's a take your mind off things activity.

And now I am still faced with the dillema of figuring out my schedule for the day. I refuse to say hi to people at work and I refuse to talk about the intricacies of my work life. I shall write an essay on this. HA!
