        Today is actually one of those procrastination days where I stay away from the keyboard and just be random. Hope all are excellent there in UK!

        Ah yes, I know what you mean… there are days when the thoughts just want to mingle with each other but not offer themselves to the ‘real’ world. Or at least that’s how I try to explain away my procrastination non-writing days. BTW, what does your random look like? For me it often involves long stretches of time when I visit other star systems!!! Sometimes I report back via WordPress, sometimes not 🙂 Wishing you a wonderful day. Michele

    Hello again, Michele! Scott from Gnostic Bent here. I’m not sure if I ever told you, but your education, experience and accolades seem oddly similar to some early career goals I set for myself and sadly never reached. I am very impressed and proud for you, of course, but I would be lying if I said some envy and maybe even jealousy weren’t also floating around in there. Unfortunately, I pursued an MA in Creative Writing just before MFA programs started popping up everywhere in the States. In my time, the only ones were so exclusive that I never would have gotten in anyway. I wasn’t a teenage filmmaker, prepubescent & published author or anything like that. However, I was permitted to write a full-length, feature film script for my thesis, along with a critical essay about the genre I selected: film noir. And this from a guy who essentially taught himself to write screenplays, treatments and such (despite preferring to attend a more established, prestigious and formal program at some other institution… like UCLA, for instance… jealous, jealous). At any rate, this also came as my university was first establishing their film program, so I inadvertently became the first grad student to successfully defend not just his thesis, but a film script. Of course, that was my one-and-only achievement in the field, so I couldn’t be more impressed with your resume. Congratulations on the success of “Moonbug,” by the way! I haven’t seen it yet, but I certainly look forward to doing so. Incidentally, I know another documentary filmmaker (an American) who also focuses on social change, primarily with regard to history. His name is Ken Wyatt and his film “Colored Confederates” has been doing pretty well. Is it possible your paths may have crossed, perhaps at a film festival? If not, then it might be worth making the connection/contact, so please let me know your thoughts and I’ll point him at your blog. He’s a great guy who has real passion for his craft. And since his wife and I have worked together for years at the college, I trust and respect him as I would my own brother. You know where to find me, Michele, and not just for the Ken connection. My interest in film and screenwriting is still there, so maybe I can pick your brain sometime, hmmm? Regardless, keep up the good work and know that I wish you nothing but success in all your endeavors. Still a little jealous, though 🙂

      Hi Scott,

      Thank you so much for your appreciation of my work. Let me say that I am in awe of you! It was fascinating to read about a few of the important choices you’ve made in your life. Successfully defending a thesis AND a film script. Absolutely brilliant. As for me, I feel blessed every day and consider what I do for a living to be an incredible privilege. I started life in an orphanage and the elderly folks who raised me died when I was still a teenager. When I was starting out on this path I told a dear friend of mine that I wanted to put my love into films. Of course, knowing the film industry as we do… it turned out not to be that simple 🙂 And, yes, I would love to be in touch with Ken Wyatt — please go ahead and point Ken in the direction of my blog. And, Scott, please feel free to pick my brain. I am ready and waiting! Have a wonderful day and I wish you every success and the fulfillment of your dreams. M

        Depending on the film, I was either the producer – director – editor – camera — and all of the above! You know 🙂 Would love to hear your thoughts and links to anything you’ve done (or would like to do) that has a similar vibe and sensibility. Thanks again for your interest.

    Hi Michele,

    Well on my about page there are two shorts. Presently setting up a pitch for another fictional film via my rep, but I had to take some time to polish it.

    The film is this one: http://glothefilm.blogspot.com/
    This is info on the short we were fundraising for but now we are tackling the feature the short was a derivative of. You can also watch the two shorts in my about section. Everything else is old film school stuff found on youtube. But thanks for the interest!!!!! But, how do I get to your work? Another way perhaps?

    Regret the inconvenience caused.
    And I don’t know how to undo it now ! I’m new on this wordpress site here! 🙂

    This is the picture I had actually wished to share with you… ( I had taken it last month when spring had silently sprung in here – this is a picture of the blooms of the Gulmohar tree in my backyard here) Hoping you like it.

    Michele – I followed you to your blog from a comment you left on Hanne’s blog. I am delighted to have found another photographer/poet. I love to combine both of those vehicles of expression myself. In my blog, I started posting some of my original photos and poetry written in response to them under the category: Ekphrastica, if you get a chance to stop by.
    BTW, what drew you to study German and Russian? As a multi-lingual myself, just curious, I am originally from German and emigrated to the US as a student. Acquired a few phrases of Russian during a short stint in the Ukraine a while ago.

      Hello Charlie, lovely to hear from you. Yes, good question, I’m intrigued by you. Cybernetic noise is one of my obsessions! And a couple of your key words resonate with me… avant-garde and surrealism. I look forward to following you as you develop and present your perspective on important subjects that are critical to our future.

        Looks like you’ve got something in common with cybernetics and its futurism of our cyber-culture. 🙂

        I’m going to start posting sometime next Monday my first poem in a long time. I use to post poems on wordpress, I took them down, but I will post them up again…:) You will enjoy my poetry…its not like anyone else on this wordpress community. Trust me…:)

    Dear Michele,

    I can’t choose where to place my comments! EVERY poem I read, every gloriously crafted prose creation, and everything I read about your life leave me groping for superlatives. For now, allow me to simply say “Thank You” for the great honor you do me by following my “Randa Lane…” blog:

    Randa Lane blog: http://randalane.wordpress.com

    With great pleasure, I now “follow” your writing and photography!

    May peace, love, and joy attend your every step in life

    As a new Spikey Michele, you’ve joined a growing clan of folk known to be followers of Uncle Spike 🙂

    Thank you… I really appreciate that as I for one, know how many interesting and entertaining blogs are out there.

    My aim is to deliver an eclectic offering of posts, from my ‘point n shoot’ attempts at photography, to the sharing of my travel adventures since the 70′s, as well as day to day happenings on the farm. Oh, plus a few observations on life as I see it. Of course, if you have any suggestions for me, I’d love to hear from you, serious; email me.

    In return, I promise not to be overbearing with perhaps 2-3 posts a day tops. But if you are at a loose end one day, maybe you’ll enjoy trawling through some of my older stuff too. I have added plenty of categories to help in said digging process.

    Thanks again for your vote of confidence, particularly from your good self, a media ‘expert’ 🙂 and hope you have a great day…

    Thank you Michele for liking the curiositycafe WPC, and leading me to your place in the blogiverse, a rich, thought-provoking blend of poetry/photography. I am enchanted. Will follow your blog and look forward to viewing your art.
    ps I am commenting using rainbowspinnaker, my other blog, because I can’t “unhook” curiositycafe until next summer when I can set up a new account.
