| | This year has been the most travel-heavy year of my life. With the exception of the honeymoon and the usual travels to Toledo, pretty much every single trip I've taken has been business-related, and it's pretty spectacular.
I don't think I really believed I was actually going to Russia until the day before, while I was packing. I'm in a similar state of disbelief at the upcoming trip, which will take me out to California, then to China and India. Three weeks - on par with my Separation Anxiety stint away from home, but adding thousands upon thousands of miles of airline travel and two full pages in my passport. Back October 8. It's amazing. It's also a bit terrifying, though I'm far less concerned about this upcoming corporate shoot than I was about a two-person trip to Russia. I guess I'm finally starting to get used to the notion of international travel for work. Whew.
Married life is blissful in the best way. I wish I were home more this month, obviously, but if there's one thing I'm grateful for, it's having a wife who understands my profession and my eclectic schedule. Our apartment finally feels lived in, like we're not moving in anymore. The last big project: painting the bedroom and hanging pictures afterwards. But I truly feel settled, at least for the next two years, and it's great to have nothing to worry about in that regard.
Hmmm...what else? The films are unbelievably close to finished. Leo and Jake delivered their respective scores for Happily After and Separation Anxiety, and the sound mixes for both films should be done in the next two weeks. Mike designed some crazy cool DVD art for all our films, including Glass City, which we'll hopefully finally be able to sell at the premieres. (As if you needed any more incentive to attend the screenings.) Speaking of, buy tickets here:

I'm going to miss home tremendously for the next month, even more so because I know so much will be happening without me. That said, I couldn't be more excited, and the second half of this year - as it already has - will bring some of the most thrilling moments of my life. I got married, I went to Jamaica, then to Russia, and now all this. So much to be thankful for.
