So I finally did some shooting on my own for work! I did two shoots. They're small things, nothing too complicated, but it's a start! It felt really good to be back on set shooting. It's what I love most. I can't wait till I can get the time (and energy) to do some shooting for myself. I have a few ideas, so hopefully I'll be able to do some stuff soon. I'll post pictures of the stuff I did once they're released.
It's my boss's birthday today. Happy Birthday Heather!

So I just finished reading the Divergent book series, and I just want to vent a little. I won't include any spoilers, and if I do, I'll make sure to give fair warning. I have to say I was actually kind of disappointed. I was turned on to this book by another patient at my physical therapy, and she told me it was similar in style to the Hunger Games (which I LOVE). So I started reading it, and for the majority of the first book, I felt like I was just waiting for something to happen; I just kept waiting for the plot to come together. It did eventually by about the last quarter of the book. I enjoyed Divergent for the most part, even though I felt bored for a lot of it. Then there's Insurgent (book 2), which had a lot more to do with the plot, there was a lot more action at least, but I still felt like there was something more that was waiting to come. Then in Allegiant (book 3) the real purpose of the story finally came out. It was definitely interesting, even though it probably could have been done better.
And here's where the ranting comes into play... I have never been so disappointed, depressed, let down and empty from the end of a book ever. I feel like the end of this book was done so wrong. I don't read a lot, but when I do, especially since I read a lot of Young Adult books (i.e. Harry Potter and the Hunger Games), I want to finish the book feeling happy, or at least content and satisfied, with how it ended. I don't want to read something, and finally get to the end of the story and feel the way I felt with this book. It just made me feel downright bad. I don't know how I feel about going to see the movies now, because I know how it ends, and I don't like it. This is one time where I'm looking forward to the movies being different than the books, even though it's not like they can change what happened at the end.
Sorry for the rant, I just had to get it out there.
And speaking of the Hunger Games, I am very excited for Catching Fire to come out this weekend! I loved the book, and I hope that the movie does it justice.
Until next time! Which will hopefully be a smaller gap than this last one.
