oh my god. what a busy couple of weeks I've had!
yeah, I've been offline, for the most part, for the last few weeks.
after the shopaholic weekend of valentine's fun, I've hardly had a moment to recover -
1) had yet another one of those amazing first dates that goes nowhere, but leaves a delicious memory to tell other people's grandchildren. everyone should pitch a little woo every once in a while.
2) worked as an extra on the movie my producer friend is putting together. little did I know that when I said "sure, I'll kiss a girl" I'd end up making out for 14 hours with the most beautiful woman I've met in a zillion years. Thanks to this film, I am now 1 degree of separation from Kevin Bacon - yes, I was in a scene with Austin Pendleton, who was in Starting Over with Kevin Bacon. Also thanks to this film, certain local film peoples may recognize me as "bra girl" or "one of the makeout chicks". funny, how no one seemed to mistake Lance Reddick for a cop, or Mike McGlone for a Chicagoan, but you kiss one girl for a shoot and suddenly everyone's asking if the two of you are dating.
3) got in some great people-watching at a gallery opening, which seemed to be more about costumes and taking photos of one another than about anything else. (as all gallery openings should be!). Fell in love with mr christopher's work, while I was there, however, he was the only artist I didn't get to meet. picture me chagrined. too bad I didn't have a couple grand to spend on art, I'd own a new painting this very minute.
4) the combination wrap party / Oscar night bash at Frank's in Lincoln Park on Sunday was the perfect end to a fabulous few weeks - it's been a long time since I've spent the most important movie night of the year with moviemakers. Got to meet all the people I wanted to meet, hang with the lovely and talented hannah and jorge, and drink myself silly with like-minded people. Wasn't too disappointed with the results of this year's bash....johnny depp, jamie lee curtis, annie lennox, the robbins/sarandon clan looked lovely, jack black and billy crystal put the final nails in the coffin of their comedywriting (both of them people I've grown to despise...). Sean Penn was classy, and Diane Lane frightened me with her 'turning back the clock' youthful glow.
