Pre traveling doubts. Film Fest in town.

Eu, eu ,eu...

Não quero viajar. Eu vou a Portugal em março?

Traveling is a gift. It puts many things in perspective: health, wealth, cultural blind-spots.

I'm coping with the notion that I'm just too tired. But, if I don't...

So then I think: Can I afford this?

So trip may be rethought. Portugal, Northern Spain?, flight to Poland then Norway or Ireland then England then Norway? I dunno. But... two threads remain constant:

1.) Portugal. Not too expensive. Gives me chance to to reacquaint myself with Portuguese. I can take notes for new vampire stories.

2.) Norway. Expensive = 50 ways to cook with fishcakes. One month in residence to practice language and culture. I need to know whether Norway is in my future as a place to live or study. It's an ab-fab place to visit.

In the meantime I need to find where I put my poetry books. I need to resurrect my vampire stories and character interviews. MY vamps need to be alive!

Oh, the joy of being me!

Today and yesterday, I went to the Big Sky Film Festival. Four sessions. I just can't take more. I'm not used to sitting and watching anything. I don't turn on my TV often to watch VHS tapes. I have no "real" TV.

I saw a film taking place in Brisbane, Australia, one about the horses of Iceland, a few filmed here in Montana and specifically here in Missoula, teenagers filming in 36 hours in Suquamish Nation, etc... about 20 short films in all.
