Sixty-Two: 3 Short Films (that are not) About Glenn Gould

What with the hurricane, school (I've almost finished the media textbook and with 2 weeks to spare!) and an incredible amount of overtime (according to my paycheck, August scored a record 21.8 hours ... dude, that's like 3 regular days ... sucks) I haven't really been dreaming much -- or, I have, but it's a be-otch to remember them in the morning.

Toy Story
I'm working with Nicholas Cage at a toy company. We're a prosperous company, but for some reason Nic and I share an office. As boss he has the big, fancy oak desk and I have a small portable cart in the corner by the window, but we're in the same space.

Kore wa taiso okikute akaru-so na heya desu, Flynn San*
Errol Flynn asks me to check his ears because he's having trouble hearing. I look in and, if you angle yourself the right way, you can see all the way into his head.
And it looks like an empty geisha house with rice paper walls and fluffy pillows on the floor.

This Old House
Dick Clark is taping an interview about the benefits of listing your house on the Historical Register. "That means the city owns it," he says. "And that means they pay for any repairs over the course of ... Shut up." He says that last bit over his shoulder because I'm in the next room interviewing someone else about the same topic and my subject doesn't agree with Dick. This is all being played back later in the studio -- one tape against the other, because you can hear him say "Shut up" on both -- and the camera crew and I are laughing our heads off.

*translation: This is a very big room and it seems light, Mr. Flynn
