This morning I got up at 5am. Strangely, 5am felt like a good time to wake up. It made the day feel more open and ultimately more satisfying. Perhaps I should try it again sometime. Oh, the reason I was up so early was because I was a runner on a film shoot today for a music video. It was a long day but also a great experience. I mainly did a bit of traffic control, carrying of stuff and driving to fetch things like lunch and a new hard drive. This weekend was pretty good. Saturday night I went out with the boys. It was one of the few occasions post-Europe that the five of us Euro-trip guys have been out together. It was a cool night. I've been really enjoying watching season 6 of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' on DVD as well. Watched a movie too.

'Ponyo' (2008) directed by Hayao Miyazaki

I really like Miyazaki's films. I love the simplicity and quirkiness in the style of animation. This one was great, very cute and entertaining. It was probably aimed at a much younger audience than some of Miyazaki's other films but that didn't really matter, it still had an intriguing enough story and the hand drawn animation really is quite amazing.
