oh my gash

the dream was vividly clear. my bedside lamp had fallen straight into my forehead. i wake up and realize it was not after all a dream. i feel my forehead and strangely enough there's a slit of dry blood on it. and so here i am now, fashionably sporting an inch square band aid on my head. which fortunately has proved to be a great ice breaker small talk conversation starter so far.

im actually here now at headroom studio, sound mixing and finishing the video project ive been happily tied up with the past week or so. pretty neat place actually. right north of madison park and being on the 19th floor, boasts of a great view of the chrysler. has the usual well-stocked fridge and candy jars. my stomach is a bit grumbling now though coz our lunch orders have not arrived and its almost 2.

but i shouldnt be whining though coz here i am blogging away, amazed that im actually doing something that's enjoyable and quite a learning experience. even had my 15 seconds of fame, well sort of, coz i was in the recording booth dressed up in my gee (sp?), making those whoosh shwoosh ruffling ripping sounds we needed for the karate chops and roundhouse kicks shots. neat cool fun stuff. but none of those late night rockstar rapstar recording sessions obviously with overflowing drugs and booze.

ok, it's official. everyone's hungry. the producer is ravenous. the sound engineer's dying. im starving too but now everyone's involved in pestering the food people on where the bleep our grub is. bleep bleep bleep. can i get a laugh track please? thanks a bunch.

ok enough, im getting back to work. this video we're doing is getting better and better. it's getting there. time to record more of those whoosh shwoosh ruffles but ed the editor's doing it.

OK food's here. lateerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

close to 5 now. this place is insane. they have a "zen" room with matching wall fountain and massage chair. but still im pissed that the food was late. ok, i kid. definitely great gaining the experience. nice little reminder that there's a whole more world out there or even here to explore. but for now, im out. grabbing a drink for an officemate who's moving to florida. ok more like a non-alcoholic drink coz i do have that bike tour on sunday. and i dont want any more inanimate objects like bedside lamps to be attacking me soon in my sleep.
