DR WHO!!!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the new Dr Who's great and I'm a solid fan of it ^_^ Don't believe any critics who say it's a fan's parody - that's the yanks not being able to understand good British humour and a very fun storyline.

Hehe, you've just gotta watch it, it's sooooooooooo much fun and it's going to get one of the best instant Dr Who quotes ever (in me and my Dad's opinion)
'Rose: Why do you sound like your from the North?
Dr: Don't be silly, most planets have a North'

It had me in creases...gotta go

EDIT @ 20:16

Right, I'm back...heh seriously you've got to watch the show it's so much fun!!!

KALLERS I'M TALKING DEFINATELY TO YOU AND YOUR BROTHER!!! If you haven't already watched it that is ^_~

Well not a lot else has happened really - bar the fact I drove the car by myself to work and back today which is really great cause I can start to do things my way now and not have anyone go on at me for it ^_^

hehe *slinks off to do something*

Flibbel

Don't ask about the title - but I can't think of anything else really at the moment. Heh I'm sure my brain's going dead.

Monday - was a lazy arse and didn't get out of bed till 12 but hey after the weekend I had just had I think I deserved it ^_^ Well granted Kallers gave me a call at 12:30 to ask if I was doing anything so I ended up going to the shops to meet up with her. We did a little shopping and then came back to mine where I showed her Abenobashi and I think I scarred the poor girl with it lol. Heh I think she really enjoyed it though. Then walked her back home and went to work. Spent an hour offline cause my computer decided 'I don't like the new password you've selected so I'll lock you out' then took some calls and logged out at 7:00 for the team meeting, finished that at 8:00, logged out for my break - it overshot through mine - came online at 20:15 and took calls to 21:30. Not a bad night I think ^_^ had tea and went online and then to bed

Tuesday - got up at 11 (I'm definatly being a lazy so-and-so) and mooched around, wrote a bit of a fanfic, took the dog for a walk, the normal sort of things. Went to work as normal and at 18:30 the systems crashed - and I literally mean crashed - no calls, no systems and nothing we could do about it. Ten minuets later they got it sorted out - it must have been across the board aka all call centres - and when we logged back in there were 195 in my call cque ^_^ Heh customer services is really nice and easyish and I was able to get quite a few POPs which I'm happy about and generally it was a nice and easy-going night. Came home, had tea, came online and then went to bed.

Wednesday - got up at 12 again, got ready, went downstairs and got the mail. found that my pay has gone to the correct amount now but no sign of my backpay which they owe me from September. I called Payroll who've told me to get in contact with HR again so I'll talk to sarah (my supervisor) tonight and try and get this sorted cause it's seriously starting to become more than a joke. Took dog for 2 walks and am currently looking for information for Theory and listening to FFIX soundtrack.

I'd better be off, catch ya all laters#

EDIT:

Found some fun stuff for ya all ^_^

The last two days ^_^

Hehe, the last two days have been really really great so I'm feeling quite good about everything ^_^

Saturday - was up reasonably and went into work as normal. It was a nice shift and I got some more of my Oliver Postgate Autobiography read and went through the normal things that are related to work but it was reasonable pace and nothing really bad which I was glad about. Came home, got changed, met up with Kal-chan and we went to Whitely Bay for a night out with my Mum, Dad, Kamo, Hiya and Allen with his lot and Katheleen and Micky (all friends of the family) to see The Imitation Beatles. We all had a really good time and ended up dancing for virtually all of the last set which was really funny. I've told them all that the next Whiteies do they're all coming - and that invite will be extended to everyone as well ^_^ Once it was over we came home and proceeded to watch The Fifth Element and FMA eps 1-2 till 3:30 in the morning. FMA totally rocks and I'm really wanna continue watching it. Kal I am going to be begging you to come over once you get some more of it! And Bakaness too! We then went to bed...amazingly

Sunday - woke up at 8am, had to virtually push Kal out of bed cause she wasn't getting up (and she was the one who wanted to be up at 8am). Got sorted, took Sweep on a walk with Kal to get her to the Underpass and then we parted ways. Came home, had breakfast, listened to Starlight Express with Kamo and Hiya and then Chibi came over for the delayed Anime fest. Let's see we watched Abenobashi, Kino's Journey (a great series!) and a bit more of Excel Saga and the beginning of 'Little Shop of Horrors' before Chibi went home. We all had tea and then Kamo and Hiya went home and I sorted out my room out (inc my bed which is now much more stable with the boxes under it - ironically) and the spare room, had a nice bath and then came online.

No idea what i'm going to do next but meh it'll be fun no matter what ^_^

erm...can I say oopse to updating?

Gah, sorry everyone I've been so busy this week that I have simply not had the time to update at all. Still Here We Go -

Monday - what didn't I do? Was in uni at 9 to get on the Avids (editing systems) to try and get the bloody animations ontoDVC pro tape and then onto Quicktime format. Needless to say we first of all didn't have the DVC pro tape, had to borrow one from animation department, then have an argument with the machine to get it to record from the DVD to the DVC pro tape, once we got it on we had to record the bloody thing twice, then export it out of the time line and onto CD *looks around as the tumbleweed goes by* Yeah, you wont know what I'm on about. Okay after we'd sorted that out (Me, Graham and David that is)went to meet Jill (the lass I'm doing the documentary on) and we had to go over to Newcastle Uni Union as she got a little lost. She's really a canny lady and it was great fun talking to her and getting all of the information that we needed. Then mooched back to Uni and filled out a request form for the equipment that we needed to hire out and then went through a two hour letcure on Production Practise which was interesting as we had all the roles defined to us, then went to work for usual four hour shift and then had tea and went to bed.

Tuesday - went in for avid workshop and went through exporting stuff off the timeline (which was a little annoying considering I had just done it yesterday) and then met up with Rob and Graham (and Simon when he showed up) and we went through the basic plans for our documentary. Once that meeting was over I came home, wrote the script for the documentary, went to work, texted Si to remember to take my disc in tomorrow, came home, had tea, checked mails to find that Graham Denman (letcurer) wasn't going to be in on Wednesday so I could've kept it myself.

Wednesday - was up early and I drove - yes you did read that right - I drove to Sunderland and went for my meeting about the means test which Connections finally got a move on with (after I called them like). Went through a series of tests and stuff and in the end I'm getting a printer for my laptop, a portable book scanner (which will read the book too me), a MP3 dicata phone, Read and Write software for the computer and a portable electronic dictionary ^_^ So I is very happy. Came home and fell asleep for four-six hours which I really needed and was so thankful of cause I started to feel human again ^_^ Went to work and came home to find an e-mail from Graham to say that the discs could be handed in to Lipman and into his pigeon hole. ¬_¬

Thursday - even though the letcure was cancelled - Graham was ill bless him - I was in to talk to Noel about theory and to meet Si to get the discs in. Noel wasn't there so we'll have to re-arranged for the first week back, handed in the discs all okay, checked my pigeon hole and found we had the request back and all authed so I could get the stuff tomorrow. Went to go home and met Kamo for a few minuets, we walked towards the bus stop and then he had to go his lecture. I returned home and did something (can't remember what) no wait went easter shopping that was it ^_^ Got some stuff then went home and chilled out for the rest of the day. Went into work mega early to get the sticker for the car - basically the thing me and Dad fell out about - and got the thing. It took me two minuets if that ¬_¬ well at least its there now. Went through work, helping Lisa (new starter) out whenever I could and annoying Ahmed my mate there. Came home, had tea, watched a bit of Dirty Harry and went to bed.

Friday (aka Today) - got up, was in for 9.30 for a 121 with Ian (another letcurer) and found out that my proposal got 12/15 which I'm mega happy about considering I had no real clue as to what the hell it was meant to actually say or be. Then went to go and get Grandma a easter present as I had forgotten to get it yesterday. Ran into Kamo and we spent a good cople of hours together and he treated me to lunch *huggles madly* and then I had to leave to go and get the equipment that I had requested. Poor Rob's got stuck with it in his room, but we needed somewhere to store it and his is the best place. bless him ^_^ and then I came home, had a little bit to eat, walked the dog, did the upstairs, walked dog again, had shower and then came online to update blog.

Off to Kendo tonight and then got a Beatles tribute tomorrow which should be mega fun ^_^

Well keep safe and happy people, Baka you've got a letter/package on it's way to you so keep an eye out for it and remember 'Being Human, Having your health, that's the important thing' ^_^

(PS anyone recognises that quote get's a cookie ^_^)

Sorting out Documentary, Kendo and Work

Well it's that time again so I might as well post and update ^_^

Thursday - I have gained a new respect for Technicsions, something which I never thought I would say in a million years. We went through all of the information for the Documentary and then spent an hour and twenty minuets trying to get four lights to work. I kid you not, we had to change wires and faff on with this, that and another and finally got them all working. We were only meant to be in till three but we ended up finishing normal time - no real suprise there - and I now understand why tech's are always in shorts and t-shirts - it's too bloody hot!! Went to work as normal and then came home, stayed online a little late with RPs and went to bed.

Friday - got up (somehow) and got in for Documentary Scripting. Managed to forget the timeline we had to work on *shakes head* and we arranged to work out meeting times with Jill on monday and what we were planning to do which was good. Theory was after it and we went through the suff from two weeks ago - Noel was off previous weeks so we had to play catch up (still need to arrange a meeting with him about the essays - need Si to help with that as well) so no film watched this week. Went home afterwards cause I wasn't meeting Kal-chan to 7pm and got to dump most of my stuff off before coming back to town for kendo. Was back in armour and I didn't end up as bruised as I was expecting to be for once. We had to practise Kiry Kiash (still need to learn how to spell that) and we had to 'sing' our Kia's aka make them last a long time - and amazingly me and Kal did quite well with it (true my throat wreaked afterwards but never mind). We also did the piggy-in-the-middle exercise which I definatly can't remember the name of and I ended up facing Darren (5th Dan) twice and Hiyaku twice as well - and I still stand by the fact that he hit me across the elbow right on the bone and it hurt! Not badly but I was starting to think 'Holy crap my arm is going to lock up'. Luckily it didn't, and Darren commented that when I kept on going straight into Dash and not stopping that it was very honest and meant and would work well. So I'm going to remember that one. Came home, had a mixed tea and watched a little bit of 'I know what you did last summer' and found it to be dead boring so watched Dangermouse instead. Much more fun ^_^ then went to bed.

Today - got up (after mam yelled at me to get up), drove to the post office to get a package which wasn't actually for me, then drove to work. It was a little busy for a Saturday but I still got through more of my autobiography and got another freaky horror movie idea down on paper. Drove home, had tea, had a bath and am now updating my blog and talking to Kamo-chan *huggles*

And that's it - might go and do some quizzies to update this a bit further.

Lachesis, depicted as middle aged who weaves
those threads into the tapestry of LIFE, and
then Atropos the oldest who cuts the thread of
human life. Sounds harsh and unfair, but the

right time for a proper update to inc all the stuff I missed

Okay, I promised a update on Wednesday - excluding the ones made on Mon and Tues - so here we go

Monday - got another lie in and still was completely unsure as to what to do with myself. Dad was asleep the times I was up so I simply spent my time cleaning my room - I know I know shock shock horror horror Ryu-chan actually cleaned her room but it needed doing so I did it - and making myself some breakfast and watched Tom and Jerry on Boomergan. Then went into Uni for my scripting letcure about Dialogue and it was interesting. Got me thinking about how I could repersent some stuff in my own scripts when I get around to doing them

Tuesday - went in for Avid but found it was cancelled so came home and spent half my time reading up the books I had borrowed, listening to the Abenosbashi soundtrack and generally chilling before going off to work. Work was okay the usual stuff and I drove home perfectly till I got home and ballzed up parking but I got it kinda sorted in the end. Dad laughed at me but I didn't care, we're getting back onto good natured terms again and I'm happy about that ^_^ Also called Chibi last night and am waiting for her to get in from collage so that she can escape from all this unwanted, unneeded and generally nasty stress that she's going through

Wednesday - well today's been okay. Was actually up and about for once and out in plenty of time to get the bus which ran early and got me into town before 9 which in my books is a bloody mircle for the buses round here. Went through Graham's lecture as normal - excluding the info we were given about canada. Turns out only two people can go from the course and you've got to apply for it. I'll give it a go at any rate but we'll have to see. Came home on the 42A which is another thing I haven't done in a while and I'm currently in the process of copying the BAMP (Hons Media production) Year 1 show reel so that I can get stuff done for Graham for next week.

Well that's me done for the time being, catch ya all on my sunday update.

If I'm still alive on Sunday that is ^_^

Tuesday, March 08, 2005

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! *bounces around again*

YEAH ME AND DAD ARE NOW FRIENDS ONCE AGAIN, WHICH IS GREAT SO NO ONE HAS TO WORRY ANYMORE.

Now to sort Chibi out and make her all happy and smiley again *goes and glomps Chibi once again*

Life starts to climb back uphill

Well it seems that my worries about yesterday are slowly starting to fade, Dad is starting to talk to me again and things are getting slowly sorted out - thank god - so that's all looking good.

Home early today as Gillian my Avid teacher is ill - strange two lecturers being ill but meh - so I've got the afternoon off *does a little dance* and I've just had my Abenobashi CD delivered a few minutes ago *bounces even more* so I'll be listening to that asap.

Also got the Student Loans forms for renewing today - I'm like what the? We aren't even half-way through second semester yet...*stops and thinks* okay shinder we are...where the bleep did that all just go? Tis very strange and scary when time moves way too fast. *shakes head*

Still, going to do some reading up for uni and listen to the soundtrack ^_^

*wonders vaguley what happened to the wednesday update* Oh well

Dad's still furious at me

Well Dad is still annoyed at me, luckily though I've got the sicker thing for the car being picked up tomorrow by my SCA Chris which is really good but I botched up badly when I was driving home with Dad tonight. It was a simple accident of trying to pull away in first gear when I forgot that the Audi doesn't partically like pulling away in first gear.

True I had had a look at the bump that was going on but it was only for a few seconds, now Dad thinks even worse of me even though it was a simple accident and my driving had been off today anyway. It's not fair, I'm not trying to do things wrong and I'm not trying to forget things but things have been busy and stressful this week!

I shouldn't rant about it but I need to, badly...I know it'll resolve itself eventually but it's not fair on me.

Structure, Dinner, Weird Lecture, Bloody Bus, Bloody Bus Again followed by afternoon off and Kata, Parents annoyed and Mother's Day

Long title eh? Well to stop Baka-chan from harrassing me (even though she's not online) I'm going to get this weekly update going - though in retrospect it might go to Wednesday and Sunday's for the updates ^_~

Monday - Got a lie in for the first time in weeks and ended up not know what to do with myself. Seriously that is mega strange - you get used to getting up to go and do something on a morning and then you don't have to and you still end up getting up early cause your body clock says 'I wanna get up now'. Mooched around and then went in for my usual Scripting class where we worked on strucutre and how to play around with it but keep it in a fashion that doesn't have people too confused. Yeah try and work that one out. Then met up with mam, drove the car to work and went through a normal night of whinging customers.

Tuesday - was up and in for Avid Editing workshop, then went and got my hair cut and styled for the night time ^_^ Got mother's day present for mum, then went home and mooched around a little before getting into my prom dress - which fits me better than it did at my prom ^_^ - and went to meet Kamo. OMG he looks so fine in a full dinner suit, I was certainly suprised and I guess I was blushing profoundly but I didn't care. All I care is that he is mine and he looked dashing and charming in it ^_^ (OH yeah and Hiyaku-kun get's a big thanks and hug for helping him to pick the suit ^_^) The dinner was okay, the chicken was a little bit strange - we had gravy with it??? - and for full details on that check out Kamo's blog. The games were great fun, even though I became the cousin of Ron Weasly girlfriend who looked like I had been fluffed up and had hit the bottle previously. No need to say that I did shout 'Oi watch it!' to the guy in good humor and it was really great fun ^_^ Still got to get the photo's devleoped today so they should be really cool when the come out. Unfortunatly they didn't have the big photo oportunity which I was hoping so but we did get a couple of the cute couple photo's - so if anyone wants a copy they can have them ^_~

Wednesday - was up and in once again for Tech where we went further into the different types of microphones and such stuff. Then stayed around to hear from an external letcurer who was a writer/director and it was quite fun bar he was a tad on the wierd and exenric side but still fun. Went into work to find that they were having a plane themed day - they've decided since all of the poor sods who work on a Wednesday can't really take advantage of the 241 promo so they have theme days - and we were given sweets and cakes and there was a prize for the most pop's that someone got. Unfortunatly I only work four hours so I didn't get a realy chance to go for it but I still tried hard and got about 10 or so which had me in second place which I think was very good. ^_^

Thursday - was up bright and early to get the 830 bus into town as normal, it came on time and I got stuck in the same bloody place as last time for less time luckily but I was still a little annoyed. We watched the process films we had made and ours was fine bar a little dodgy camera work from me, but I had half expected that anyway but otherwise it was okay and everyone liked Kamo's and Hiya's dailogue which was not scripted but still good work guys ^_^. Then we learnt which documentary's had been chosen to go into production - BUILDING BLOCKS ended up on the reserves list unfortunatly but I'm not that bothered because I am going to be the director on ACTIVIST which is Graham's Documentary which should be really good and I'm looking forward to it greatly. Dad picked me up and we had a dinner at Frankie and Beanies and I nicked some of the kid's colouring crayons. What? They were there and the prices they charge they can afford to lose several of them considering they give them away free of charge. Went to work as normal and things were back to their normal self - bar the fact that the systems kept playing up which was a bit of an annoyance but not much of a one.

Friday - was up early and in on time for my Documentary Scripting lecture which was okay bar it felt way to long to be real. Noel's lecture was cancelled due to him still having the flu - arr bless him - and I decided to go home and have a bit of peace before Kendo. Got on the bus and ended up staying in Haymarket for an hour cause something - probably a smash - had occured at the exit so in the end they had to resverse the buses out of the bus stop and then drive around. Very strange and unpredictable but interesting none-the-less. Got home and had a kip before getting my kendo gear ready and heading out for the bus. Met up with Kaller's and we had our normal BK dinner then went and met up with Kamo - Hiyaku just turns up on his own - and Kal got into her Hakama and Gie (if they're spelt incorrectly they're spelt incorrectly) for the first time. Still need to order mine but that is on high priority and we've got two new starters which I'm really happy about ^_^ Got to the kendo halls to be informed that we could not use the main hall as it was covered in blood froma football fight - don't know the full story behind it but meh, so instead we ended up in the squash courts and did the Kata's whic was painful but quite fun. Didn't do anything to help my bruise on my arm but who really cares. Went home and ended up with both my parents annoyed at me cause I had forgotten to get the pass thing for the car which meant I couldn't really keep the car on the grounds - turned out in the end that I could've - and I was a bit nasty towards Dad but I offered to get a taxi home as an insentive for me to get the pass but he went into one of his moods and that was it.

Saturday - didn't start off well with my parents, but I drove into work regardless and spent the usual day sorting customers and going through one of my RPG books picking out spells that the charactes could use in Nuuruhine. Talked at lenght with mum on the way home and we became friends again and spent a nice happy night watching Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, having home-made tea and generally just getting along. Dad ain't talking to us at the moment but we don't really mind.

Today - got up at 830 with mam and made her BLT sandwiche's - put a little too much vingar on the tomartoe's though but meh. She loved her present ^_^. We washed the cars and are going to go and pick granny up, put my photo's in for devloping, get a hair colour for me ^_^ the go and see Meet the Fockers and then go Nagmoi's for tea tonight. It should be great fun

I do have some quotes to stick in but I've ran out of time for today so I'd best be going. Check out my next update on Wednesday ^_^

bye
