Update (and things i don't like)

I'm trying to start this back up. The film festival is coming up so that might get me to blog a bit more. They're doing a retrospective of Audrey Hepburn (last year was Bette Davis), and although I was against the idea of going to Audrey Hepburn movies (she's a great actress but the fandom full of edgy hipsters/fashionistas is annoying), but I was talked into seeing Sabrina on Valentine's with my friend, then The Unforgiven (a less popular Audrey film), and ending the festival with MY FAIR LADY!!! I'm so excited to see that on the big screen. The costumes, the scenery, the ascot opening day! It's going to be brilliant to see it the way it was meant to be.

So far I also have tickets to see Drama/Mex (they're doing a whole strand on Mexican films and this one sounded the most interesting--next to my mexican shiva, I might have to check that out soon), Bronson (youtube it, it looks interesting, brutal, and theatrical), and finally Let the Right One In. Now I saw Let the Right One In back in Kansas over the holidays, BUT, this time the director is supposed to be coming to answer questions and introduce it. I'm very excited for that night.

B T Dubs, it was fun going to the volunteer induction and those in charge remembered me! Even Allison, one of the programmers and a such a fun lady. This year I plan on networking more. Going to the gala, working events, etc. I'm really going to try to get out there and do more. I told the women in charge I'm just doing research so I have a basically free schedule, that I'll help out prior to festival, and I might end up as a volunteer co-ordinator. They needed some more and they liked the idea of having someone who had volunteered before to 'run the show,' in that sense.

Anyway, as the title suggests I have a mini rant of one of the things don't like, and that would be Sky. We canceled our service in time that we wouldn't be charged, and yet they keep saying I owe them. Although, every time I would call about this they would say there is no debt on our account. So now they sent some debt collectors after me. I still call sky, they still say it's a mistake...

I ended up paying it. I don't need this over my head while they are deciding my visa. I'll talk to sky, but I'll at least get my name away from that. I don't need legal action taken against me while my passport is at the border agency. However, I ain't too happy about this, and someone will be getting a piece of my mind.
