My meeting with Serge the composer went great but he wants me to refine what the hell it is I really want to accomplish while he’s teaching me music, so I am going to think about that and get back to him. We both like Hans Zimmer and James Horner, no surprise. He was amazingly generous and collaborative in the hour and a half I spent with him, and he taught me two important things about scoring for films which I had not really understood before.
Serge is on the 144 bus line, which also goes to SFU, and then I had lunch at the old office and said hi to folks. Then I went to Surrey and got stood up by my date. I didn’t mind, I had wireless and drank a latte. And some guy chatted me up on the way out, can you believe it? Anyway, I hope dude is okay, and that it was just a communication snag… there’s no sense complaining about somebody’s behaviour until you have an explanation, and for all I know his neighbour’s dogs savaged him.
Speaking of which, I was walking back to the house (my bike has two flat tires) with $50 of meat yesterday and I ran into a loose pitbull. Man, for one brief second I was terrified, and then I realized from the animal’s body language that it had no intention of coming near me whether I had ten pounds of pork chops, stew beef and bratwurst on me, or not.
All of my bus connections today were zippity. Very nice.
Jeff reminded me that I was supposed to get the cats dry food today, and I forgot.
