I now have a new phone. But I don't have any of your numbers -- after 5pm EST, please either call or email me with them so I can get them into the phone in question. On the plus side, I'll finally have two-way messaging as of April.
Meanwhile i called my aprents last night after not hearing form them for two weeks -- there was no drama, no anger, no political debate (although we seem to agree that a constitutional ammendment about marriage makes as much sense as one about speed limits), and I was very relieved. Checked the voicemail on my new phone just now, and it's my dad telling me to buy tickets to the New Director's Film Festival on his credit card. Which is a) really cool, b) them actively supporting me and c) I'll bet money involves my mother trying to broaden the number of films I rant on and on about to her, just to save her sanity, even as we don't really talk about that sort of thing that much -- just that somewhere, she knows her daughter is being weirdly preoccupied, and that bothers her. I think it's kinda a hoot.
I'll probably also be doing some background work on The Interpreter, although the when of it is unknown at this juncture. It was however pointed out to me that being Italian and speaking French isn't really doing anyone any favours. Nice people did however coo over my headshot.
