I find myself planing to do things. Great things, fun things.. meaningful things. But i also keep realizing that those things remain un-finished, un-said, un-started. Today i will do great things. Today i will say meaningful words. Today i will begin something grand. Well actually, maybe i’ll wait until tomorrow.

Seattle International Film Festival 2009 came to an end today. I had a wonderful time volunteering and meeting new people. I wanted to see a ton of films, but sadly life kind of gets in the way of movie watching. With volunteering, normal work, and social obligations i only managed to see 13 feature films, and 47 shorts.
