I had a dream last night where an older cinematographer, who somewhat resembled and sounded like Stan Brakhage, bequeathed to me a gorgeous 16mm camera package. Midway through the dream, I remember feeling that familiar waking fear and telling some girl (I think we were at a party now) that I was worried I had in fact dreamed the whole thing. She smiled and said "No - here it is." And there it was.
I've foregone any work on any of my own projects these past few days to get this documentary stuff completed before I leave for Austin again tomorrow morning (this time for a week of picture-locking). As I often do, I've been listening to commentary tracks I'd never have time for otherwise as I work. The best are the Lord Of The Rings commentaries, since they each last for nearly four hours and there are four or five different tracks on each film, which saves me the trouble of having to change discs. It's a great help in losing track of time.

Take it easy out there in Austin. Don't get run over by any beautiful women- no matter how tempting it can be.

I rememmber David Lynch once saying that he wanted his movies to be waking dreams...
