Jane Campion and my sore throat

good morning world! 

It's that time of year and...damn it! My throat hurts :( It really makes me feel like I should have valued my time when I didn't have an itchy throat.

A few weeks ago I went to an event showing Jane Campion's film student's short films. I admire Jane like a monkey admires a banana, so I was excited. Excited just by the prospect of possibly seeing her give a speech. 

My friend and I were standing in the foyer of the venue, when she smiled and waved at someone standing next to me. Oh my holy bananas...it was Jane Campion, standing right next to me. 

I was lost for words...truly starstruck...looking back I really should have just said hello nice to meet you...instead I stood there like an emu. It's okay though...because I met her and she radiated warmth and filmmaking wisdom. For me it was like standing next to Jesus...and absorbing some of his powers. 

Anyways...during the screening my throat was so itchy I couldn't stop coughing during a really silent movie. With Jane Campion in the theatre. Bruh. 

Okay goodbye.
