May 16

This is going to be a short one. Last night was the first time that I actually slept really well, my cold is getting over pretty fast and I have enough drugs to make the symptoms seem almost nonexistent. I slept so well that I woke up at 9 and realized that I only had an hour to get to the Pavilion for my job. I hurried to wash my hair, brush my teeth, ran downstairs to check in and grabbed a croissant, then ran to catch a shuttle from the hotel to Cannes. I had originally planned to get up early and check out the short film corner and Marche, but that was a no go. At least I wasn't late for my job.

Work was pretty uneventful today, I feel like I'm doing something wrong if we don't find a press break, but its not like we can do anything about it. We updated the Facebook and twitter and got ready for tomorrow's event.

I managed to reserve tickets to Mr. Turner, Timbuktu, and Captives though. I gave the Mr. Turner ticket away to a woman on the street because I didn't have the time to see it, so I hope she managed to go. But tonight is going to be the first film that I'll see at Cannes and on the red carpet. Everyone has been saying that The Grace of Monaco was awful, so I'm glad I missed it. Hopefully Timbuktu will be better! Finally going to use my tux! I have such a busy schedule of films coming up, literally three red carpet showings in three days, either preceded or followed by other non-red carpet films. Got to get ready!
