Story time

Surely I didn't do that on purpose. Surely my subconscious didn't intentionally take the flash drive, along with the rest of the trinkets and keys on my keyring, and drop it between the car door and the door frame meer moments before the door came rapidly to a sickening crunching close, taking with it my film trailer for Knocked Up (and some paint from my door). Depsite the fact that I had had bitter feelings about this film, with it's overuse of non-PG-13 language for comedy's sake, underuse of wit and irony in favour of meaningless one-liners, and general underdevelopment of the characters in the story, still I don't believe that I would destroy my trailer, into which I put countless hours of my life. My hidden packrat-ish tendencies have me still taking care of paper's I wrote in my junior year of high school, and yet I'm not entirely sure that I didn't intentionally destroy the data AND come up with a great poster idea simultaneously.

What am I talking about? It was just a coincidence. Put me down for a poster.

I'm mostly joking. The point is, I somehow managed to destroy my project by accident, and the latest backup is from some 20 manhours ago. Honestly I'm somewhat relieved. I know in future we'll all face projects we don't want to do, but for now, we're students, and we should do whatever makes the best portfolio piece. Making a trailer for Knocked Up was failing to inspire me or excite me the way the other film projects have, but I think I have a great idea for a poster.

Stan, I know you hate it when you get such little time to give us input on our work (this poster will have only one class period worth of input). Sorry about that, but continuing on the trailer would almost certainly make me go crazy.
