Last night Joy and I went to the South Bay Flm festival. We were thinking of renaming it the Torrance Indoor Train Wreck Get-Together.

We got there about 40 minutes late, so we probably missed the movie Joy was suppose to be in pumping gas. The room was like a big black box with a white sheet on one wall that received the projected entries. The whole event was sponsored by 24 hour fitness, Rockin' Baja Lobster, Hometown Buffet, Laser Sculpture and they let you know with a set of zany commercials in between every short. The MC resembled a cruise ship director and turned out to be the guy who shot Joy's film. One film was about this girl who packed her belongings and moved to college (in her BMW). When she got there, she quickly realized how isolated and alone she was. The voice over mostly told the story, versus any sort of plot. So she pulled out a bunch of pills and was thinking of killing herself, but instead went to the beach and splashed around in the surf. The voice over said something about how her car was double parked while she was splashing, but SHE DIDN'T EVEN CARE IF SHE WUZ GONNA GET A TICKET.
