cats

ive just spotted the two cats that last night kept me awake. unfortunately i had nothing to throw out the window at them. i might go down later and scare them away. these cats make the most awful noise ive ever heard and they make it all night long. imagine a baby screaming. then take away its favourite toy and smack it. make it smoke 100 cigarettes so its voice is course, put this all through an amplifier and you have something like what these cats sound like. ive not been sleeping well in any case and being woken every so often by this noise is rather annoying. quiet is a precious thing.
i also found out today thay i dont have an actress anymore. she pulled out because her father and boyfriend decided they didnt like the idea of her doing it. apparently the boyfriend travelled from another province to argue about it with her. thats pretty sad. so im feeling a little fed up about that. i might be able to film some people living in shelters after the earthquake and make some kind of documentary but im not sure if it would be interesting and im not really a documentary film maker. i wouldnt know how to approach it. i think the people id be able to film are rather old and footage of people sitting around all day might not be that great.
we've been offered the chance to travel to yunnan province for a short break which might be nice but id feel frustrated going not having made any work. hmm. i might take to asking interesting looking people on the street if they want to be in a film. theres lots of interesting looking people here.
