Things that are making me happy:
1. The previously-linked-to blogs of Kat, Bryan and Joe, all detailing their respective and varied stages of production. The latter, with the tale of a night of shooting foregone for development-by-way-of-dinner, really makes me smile.
1. GreenCine's note that the adaptation of Patrick Suskind's brilliant novel Perfume is finally going before the cameras, under the surely capable direction of Tom Tykwer. I remember fondly reading the book almost in its entirety while waiting for a flight out of LAX two years ago, right after seeing Gwyneth Paltrow buying a magazine.
2. The e-mail about the local press screening of Saraband next week. I'm currently (well, not literally currently) watching Ingmar Bergman Makes A Movie to whet my appetite (and also as research for something else).
4. The launch of Chuck's Minnesota Stories website, which will hopefully come to as wonderful a fruition as its potential suggests. I wonder if I had gone to the U of M all those years ago, as I briefly considered doing, how long it would have taken me to meet Chuck.
5. I've lost ten pounds so far this summer!
6. Being in pre-pre-preproduction.
Things that are making me unhappy:
1. Not being any further than pre-pre-preproduction.
2. The rest of the usual suspects.
