continued from last post…
We phone Zilnas, Eero was expecting to do a lecture – paid – on the Wednesday – he’d been booked, after someone else dropped out. Zilnas is out of town but agrees to get on to Kornelya to find out wtf is going on.
Meanwhile, Paulius is frantically trying to retrieve kit – laptops, cameras and tripods. IHaving spent four weeks dancing to someone else’s tune, ‘m not up for being harrassed. I have a bit of work on the laptop – and Justin has almost the whole memory used up on his. I say to Paulius – lovely Paulius – that I’m not trying to make his life difficult, I’ve always been helpful.
No you haven’t, he says. Your blog, it started off alright, but it hasn’t been helpful at all. It went from being quite objective to being really subjective and negative. He then went on to pretty much accuse me of wanting to steal it. Unpleasant, to say the least.
Hmm. I think it’s been extremely clean – immaculate, even, Too clean. I’ve edited what I’ve written with an acute sensitivity in the knowledge that it’s being read by people that I’m working with – the crew. But I didn’t come here to write propaganda for the Lithuanian TV industry.
Speaking of which, it doesn’t bode well for the twenty thousand litas book.
More later.
