Ok so the loving Madison feeling has worn off pretty damn quick. So, best thing to do: buy my ticket out of here. My Hong Kong ticket has been purchased.
January 12-16: New York City
January 16-June 10: Hong Kong
That feels good.

Life is good
It's been a while since I've been in this city and felt so happy.
It was a beautiful day outside, sunny, perfect temperature, and I am just giddy smiley and...back to being myself. My last few weeks have been so crazy and bogged down with the pressure of exams, and the self-induced pressure of proving to myself that I'm capable of doing well if I just work at it hard enough... I pulled through the insanity of my last week, and it's such a fabulous feeling when all the hard work pays off. I had a really great weekend full of flopping and watching Harry Potter and spending time with people I love...a perfect way to melt away the stress and anxiety of the week before. And It's almost turkey day, and I'm relaxed and stress free and ready to throw on my sweats and eat for four days straight and see my girls and watch MORE movies.
Man. Life is good.

Uganda Idea status: freakin awesome
Dody's idea for AIESEC gaining mass distribution rights is almost reality. The day after this man's brilliant commenting, Adam and I sat down and busted out an email to the makers of the film. And here's their response:
I just finished reading your email and I am now staring at the
screen not knowing what to write because I am so excited about
what I just read. Wow... AIESEC is an incredible organization and
I am so stoked that you have a desire to help the children of
northern Uganda. And not only do you want to help the children of
northern Uganda, but you want to do it through helping show
Invisible Children. That is so great.
As far as your basic idea... I think something like that can totally work out. How many DVD's are you thinking of trying to distribute? And I don't really know what we would "negotiate" to give you non-exclusive distribution rights, because offer anyone the right to watch and spread the film as they so please. However, I guess because this is on such a larger scale we might have to draw up some sort of legal agreement. So, I would love to talk with you about this over the phone, I will give you a call tomorrow during the day sometime, or you can call me anytime
Awesome.
More updates to come.
