Tryin' Something New
The dozen or so regular followers of this blog (as opposed to the hundreds who land here because they searched for something) will have noticed that I haven't posted in a while. Part of that has to do with limited time and energy, part of that has to do with the fact that my random musings end up in my daily writing practice, so it's mostly the rants that are ending up on the blog... which isn't the lopsided face I want to project to the world.
So I've decided to try a change in format to a weekly summary of the highlights of my life. I've come up with 10 different headings, for which I'll just post a sentence or two. I probably won't use each heading each week, but I'm thinking it will be some combination of: Breaking News, Adventures in Film, The Culture Corner, Journeys with Judaism, Life with Emma (referring to my cat, thank you very much, not the actress mentioned in this week's update), Political Peeves (I'm sparing you that one this week), Rants, Revelations (ranging from epiphanies to something-I-learned-when-I-wasn't-being-careful), Random Musings and Quest for Quotes.
This Week in Review
Breaking News: Fish Fund proposal successful! (Fish Fund = Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers' Short Film Incentive Program. No idea why it's called the Fish Fund... but it sounds fun, doesn't it?)
Adventures in Film: Ready to start the second draft of my short screenplay for my Rewriting Course. Also in the midst of creating the final digital edit of "Echoes" so it will be ready to submit to festivals by June 1st.
The Culture Corner: Can't wait to see The Shakespeare Company's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Arrata Opera Centre. Starring the one, the only... Emma Claire Miller!
Journeys with Judaism: Learned the history of the different streams of Judaism in class, but I haven't made it to temple since my Grandmother's Yahrzeit (my bad).
Life with Emma: Have started showing her the DVD "Feathers for Felines" to keep her occupied when I go out or am trying to sleep... is it healthy for a cat to sit two inches away from the screen?
Rants: They renovated the heart and soul out of my local Good Earth Cafe!
Revelations: Garageband does not have an autosave feature... who knew?
Quest for Quotes: Shoot for the moon. If you miss it, reach out and grab a star.

Popping in to say HI! I like your weekly roundup idea.
I, too, have been blogging way less in recent months... not that there isn't tons of stuff going on, but so much of it is spiritual and emotional and complex that by the time I get done thinking about it all, I don't have the energy to type it.
I still have you in my feed reader, so I'll be watching for updates :)
