Hiatus (aka break from filming and work)
Monday, October 26th, 2009
Hiatus is a weird thing. It gets looked forward to as much as Christmas, but when it arrives there is no tree with presents. It is a little confusing going from working 60-85 hour weeks to having 60-85 extra hours of free time.
My time is being used catching up on important things: Seeing friends I’ve been neglecting for months, backing up my laptop, cleaning my closet, etc. I’m also unashamedly catching up with unimportant things: Organizing years worth of photos, going to the beach, catching up on TV and movies, etc. 
That last one is a staple. Hiatus is basically storing up sleep for the second half of our season the way a bear stores up food for hibernation. To start out I figured I’d catch up on some TV I’ve been meaning to watch since it aired. Dexter is up first, followed closely by Weeds. Well I think followed closely by Weeds, if it is still good and didn’t turn south after season one.
Figured I’d try and sit through some movies too. After recently re-watching Idoicracy (2006), seeing all Mike Judge films seemed like an easy enough list. Then I realized all I had left was Extract (2009) which has come and gone in theaters and isn’t yet at Netflix. Looking for another manageable canon to conquer, I landed at watching all Cohen Brothers movies. I have enjoyed the six I’ve seen, eight more to check out. Last night we finished number seven with Miller’s Crossing (1990) and I realized maybe I’ve seen all the good ones. A little nervous for the rest.
However it turns out, hiatus is a time to get a lot of stuff done. Not necessarily a time to be productive. Enjoy.
