hysteria

Yay! Santiago's rediscovered the hysterical pleasures of sleep deprivation and skipping meals. Skipping meals isn't recommended, and santiago does try to have breakfast most days and a decent evening meal. The reason for this recklessness is that the last week has seen a concerted attempt to get the script for the next (untitled) short film project nailed down. Despite the fact that it's intended to be mainly improvised the starting point will be the approximately 20 pages of script which were finished last night about 3 am. That first draft will be typed and edited over the next couple of days, and then of course worked on and altered once workshopping and rehearsals begin.

So the last three last nights have been around three and a half/four hours sleep apiece, which is easier than you'd think. It's also not quite the 36 hour plus stints that santiago pulled a couple of times in the past while doing shifts in a sandwich bar. It's only a matter of time though. Then between 6.30pm on Saturday and the same time Sunday I completely forgot to eat. I actually fully intended to have breakfast on Sunday but never got round to it. Other meals have also been forgotten or just ignored whilst doing other things. All of which is making santiago quite hyper.

There will be regular updates on the progress of the new film, whatever it ends up being called. And possibly updates on santiago's sleep deprivation if it's funny enough. I'll see you soon.
