Strange Monday
Well today has been the strangest monday I've had in a long time.
Was up and about at 10 2 8 in the morning and was wide awake and alert which is defiantly not like me at that time in the morning - especially on a monday. Went into Uni to meet up with Rob from my course to get the camera to do the expercise set by Graham for Thursday. Of course he had forgotten to tell me where he lived in Livan (if that's spelt correctly I'll be amazed) so I stood outside, in the nippy cold for a good hour and no sign of him. Called him about three/four times as well. Eventually gave up and went to try and find a computer to ask the Media lot if I could possibly share the camera with someone else at another time - needless to say I was quite comptempating killing Rob and blaming him for it totally. Typically the liabary first floor was closed, the computer room in Squires was being used by the Photography lot (with the real scary teacher who doesn't like the media students being in there to do their web sites when she has a class in considering the fact that they don't use the computers we do. Scary lady and I don't like her much), so went to Trinity but it was full and I didn't want to wait so decided to go and get something to eat and then go and catch up with Kamo as I had not seen him much last week. As I was eating my roll thing - which was quite horrible - Rob calls up saying that he slept in *rolls eyes* but he was kind enough to help me get the tripod, camera, batteries and their cases to the Union so that I could do my two minuets filming - so he got off lightly without no punishment.
As I was waiting for Rob, Kamo called and then came to see me with his Brother whilst I was setting up and doing the white balance and focus - which only took half-an-hour or so but I think I might have got the focus screwed cause I wasn't wearing my glasses so I'll have to watch that. Still at least this is an exercise which I can use to tell if I need my glasses for camera work - I might just need contacts for working in the media which should be fun. Got the film done - it ain't a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination and it's my first go so I'm expecting a lot of constructive critism from Graham on Thursday.
Once I had that done, I procceded to try and get all of this stuff up to the cinema (our letcure room - it's called the cinema) and boy if I ever become a runner on a shoot I'm going to get strong - those things weigh a bloody ton and are really awaquade to carry as well. Thankfully someone was kind enough to help up up the stairs.
Passed the lot to Martin at the start of our script letcure and then went on to learn about how the three part story works in the terms of filming and how hard it is for screenwriters today to create something original as it's all been done and it all can be related back to some story, film, idea or pretense from ages ago (so if I ever say anything about something being nicked/borrowed/like/similar to/rip off etc of something else then you know why I am saying it - cause it's true!) so it takes a lot to make an age old story look good and new.
Then met up with mam, had a light snack and went to work. My bloody cold has come back with a vengence and I was seriously not feeling that great until I had a cup of tea and the cold relief capsuals starting to kick in - but I think this ones come back. Whaaaaa Ryu-chan don't like being unwell!!
Came home and mam went out to see how Grandma was cause she's had another fall - got a call about twenty/thirty minuets ago saying that she's going to Rake Lane Hospital for a check up so I might not see mam till tomorrow which is going to be a real drag.
So yeah Monday has really been a strange day...
Tomorrow I've got Avid editing workshop and then I need to get mam a b/day card, Nashi a b/day card and Kamo a Valentine card (he's not going to know what I've got him though as a present cause he reads this ^_^ shhhhh *giggles*) and then come home and go to work and get ready for another early start.
Typical I have four early starts in one week - and two full days. Sunday's might just become my crash and sleep days again cause it's going to take some getting used to.
Right off to do stuff before bed. Catch ya all later.
EDIT: The Tempatation was too great!
Child of Shadows - I bow before you, sister of
faith. :) You are mysterious - noone knows
where you came, where you stay and when you are
going to leave again. A free soul, beuatiful in
your lonely shodwy strength. Noone can ever
catch you against your will and only you know
your reasons - and you do not explain your
motives to anyone. Noone can say who or what
you are - human, vampire, demon, angel?
Are you a child of shadows or an angel, godddess or someone else? Take the quiz and find out! (with pics!)
