I shot it dead and now it won't come back to life.
I guess I don't need extreme concentration for logging. Logging, is an editing thing. It means watching thousands of raw clips from footage shot and making little notes about each piece. Something fascinating, an interesting angle maybe? Something that will help tell the story a little better when it comes time to cut the piece. I like logging, its rather relaxed and almost soothing. Just watching clips and being somewhere I wasn't, but experiencing it as if I were there.
Well, I've been logging for about an hour now, give or take, yet I can't seem to concentrate. I went to sleep in a very foul mood last night. Silly arguments between silly people and I woke up just plum annoyed today. It was a satisfying night of watching The Matrix, yet this miniature argument I got into last night has thrown me off balance today. I know I shouldn't let it affect me, but I can't help it! If I put it out of my mind, I feel like I'm just ignoring it even though I know its of nothing important.
My curse is over thinking everything and it makes me never rest. I imagine its what insomniacs may go through. Even in my sleep I grind my teeth from stress sparked from over thinking. Is there a scientific name for this disease or disorder? It makes me hold lots of anger too. I'm never in between, its like a, what do you call it? Firecracker? Something simmering and ready to boil? Okay, enough. I think I just needed to express that somehow, in order to be over it. I think I'm over it. (You might also think I've got some split personality or bipolarism or something). I hope its neither.
Let me tell you about The Matrix. What a treat. Its been a good 6 or 7 years since I've seen that movie in its entirety, but man, do I still love it. It was just so cool and sleek when it first came out, and I was in a crucial time in my childhood. Anyway, I'd forgotten how much I really loved that movie (not so much the sequels).
Alright, back to work.

I have a passion for trailers so when you talked about logging descriptions of each scene, I loved you for it. I think I'm going to have to try making some kind of trailer from stuff I've seen atleast once to see how much work goes into. I tend to make trailers in my head when I'm working out or I've just heard a song that syncs up with a show I've become hooked on.
I like to think I know what you mean about writing something out for the world to read just to get over it. For me its a way of making me feelings real and exist in some medium so that I can let it go.
Thanks for bringing up the Matrix. I actually stopped reading for minute to go add it to my Netflix queue.
