In the Office
December 13th, 2007
Xmas lights Regent Street, they change colour depending on how many people walk around in the street
My office is deserted, I am the only person here guarding the phone, knowing that it won’t ring.
It is cold outside, and in the office, and I am freezing my fingers.
Beside me waits the “You’ve got Mail” DVD with came by mail today, I am tempted to actually stuff it in my laptop and go and watch it now, but I behave.
My iPod is plugged in and plays my newly created “Love Dan Actually” playlist which consists of the soundtracks of two films I have been talking about too much lately.
My christmas cards have not arrived yet, so I can’t start writing those either. My fingers are itching though.
I hope to have news on the “let’s make some short film in December” tonight, we have an initial meeting near Piccadilly and I think I will have a fair sense of the probability of this project after that.
But right now I am sitting alone in the office with a bag of Amaretti cookies.
So - what do you think is going to happen?

I think you will not be able to wait till Christmas to see the movies : )

Cookies!! Always cookies when they are there … hope you enjoyed!
I hope your meeting goes great and you are able to make a film. It would be fun.

Have just put your card in the envelope and addressed it so it will join the pile to post tomorrow!

I think the cookies won’t survive the evening….

Just when you open the bag of Amaretti cookies, the phone rings. You answer it, but instead of a voice you hear a strange yet familair jingling sound. A little bit annoyed you want to put down the horn and then he appears: The ghost of Christmas Past. It’s a man who looks like Bill N. but he’s carrying around stacks of paper. He puts them on your desk and the first page says: “Ingrid’s Short”.
“…Ten Lords a-leaping”
