      Recently a group of us went to the lake to shoot the first "Best of Keeping it Local and Locally Owned" segments.  It was my first time going to Buffalo Springs and was pleasantly surprised at what it had to offer.  It being so close to Lubbock, I figured less green...more dirt. But it was just right with camping areas shaded by trees overlooking different areas of the lake both small and large. Of course Sophia and I had to get a quick snapshot in in between tapings.

Well it looks like it's going to be a great week! Lots of good movies are coming out today! Some I was pleasantly surprised by, some where just destined to be great, and some are classics.

The Artist (2011)

Jeff, Who Lives at Home (2012)
dir. Mark Duplass

I have not even heard of this, which is odd. I like all the players involved including director Mark Duplass.

Pretty decent week...

dir. Guy Ritchie

My heart was beating so loud I could hear it rattling in my ears. I’m not sure if I was breathing hard because of the moderate physical activity, or if the jitters were causing me to hyperventilate.  By the time I climbed my way up the 40 foot power pole to attempt a leap of faith, I was just repeating one silent wish in my head; “I hope I don’t fall.” Standing up on that little platform while the pole is shaking beneath you is way harder than it looks…but I found a way to balance myself and I slowly lifted into a stance.
