Inconceivable

I'm very glad that I'm starting a new editing class on monday because I am going stir crazy! This weekend should be fun though since I've basically sat on my butt all week. I even got so bored that I got in my car, drove to Hollywood for no good reason and then drove back. I was originally planning to go see Harry Potter the night it opened but it snuck up on me and I missed it so instead I'm going to see it with my mom on Friday night. I don't know if this is gonna be one of the better Harry Potter movies because the 5th book is kind of a transitional book that sets up for Book 6. Then on Saturday I'm taking a one-day class called Photographing the Urban Landscape. We're going to take the metro from North Hollywood to photograph the LA Cathedral, the Disney concert hall, Olvera Street, Union Station and Chinatown. It's going to be all day in the sun so I'll probably get sunburnt, but will hopefully get some awesome pictures which I will post here later.

Sunday morning I'm going to brunch in Los Feliz. I really like the area and it's one of the places I'm seriously considering moving to when I'm ready to get my own apartment. The other day my parents and I took a drive down to Silverlake and Los Feliz to check out the neighborhood and to write down names of apartments that we thought looked nice. I researched online and it seems like the general price for a 2 bedroom, 2 bath is between $1700 and 2000 a month. So with a roommate splitting the cost that would be something like $900/1000 a month. Which sounded like a lot to me but I know people who are living around SC paying $850 a month and that area's not as nice. I guess it's just the price of living in Los Angeles but I think I'm going to try to find a place for even less expensive.

I'm in the 4th week of my motion graphics class and even though the class is 8 hours long and I usually feel like gouging my eyes out by the end of the day I'm actually enjoying the class and learning a lot. I don't think I would've learned it on my own, so it's nice to have something forcing me to do the work. This week we had to take a quote and animate it.

I was trying to figure out how to post the quicktime movies here, but apparently you can't unless it's already online. Oh well.


Next Friday the Harry Potter book comes out!!
