Higher, faster, stronger.

I am happy to report that things seem to be on the up and up right now. For some reason I woke up one morning a couple weeks ago, and everything just seemed... good. Better. It's lasting quite a while, this bout of positivity, so I'm just rolling with it and enjoying it all while it lasts.

My company just finished a 4-day shoot for the Olympics opener, and I honestly think it went fairly well. Of course there were a few hiccups here and there, but on the whole I think we got all the shots we needed, and they were mostly beautiful shots at that. There is something about a serious athlete, isn't there? A person passionate about his/her sport, an expert in that area... It was very obvious to see, those we'd casted who were professionals, or at least were regular practitioners of their chosen sport, were quick to shoot, warmed up on their own, didn't need much direction, knew what to do that looked good... and the ease with which they performed! It was quite amazing to watch. I only wish there was any one thing I could do with that much grace and facility. To be able to be in such control of your own body... I now realise what an impressive feat that is.

Right then. In keeping with my positive streak I'm going to keep working now, when I'm supposed to keep working. Also, I now have flowers on my desk, which makes it that much more pleasant to sit here for longer periods of time. I don't have to stop to smell them, they're just there. MMmmmmm.
