After the day I've had, I'm in need of a long drink
Well today has been interesting to say the very least.
Ended up running into Uni at 10am as me and Graham had to sort out the DVD as it wouldn't play. After aruging with Gillian (one of the techs) that the machine would finalise everything automatically I called Chris and got the information on how to finalise the damn thing and did it. Great, they played in the cinema (our letcure room) but no sound, tried another, same result, spent ages doing another which was a re-writer disc, ended up running down stairs in a bit of a state cause I was worried that we could show them the images but no sound. In walks Noel, checks the amp and says 'oh someone's been pratting on with this and turned it off', flicks a switch and it works. I hugged Noel - literally - and then went through the interview for the documentary.
Generally they said it was good, just that the interviews look a little crap, and that for a first go at directing I did quite well to keep the group together (with Graham's help). Also it was quite funny when mam called me just at the start and of course my ringtone is twilight zone (quite appropriate really). Called mam back after the interview and got a lift home from her.
Helped Dad finish the backgarden, watched Saiyuki <-^_^-> and then went to work. Work was busy but reasonable. Came home and my parents are in another scrap with eachother, this time over the break lights being out on mam's car. neither of them are talking to eachother, dad's saying he told mam to take it a while ago to get fixed, mam's saying she'll miss her course tomorrow to get it fixed and I'm kinda trying to hide whilst appearing neutral and asking not to be dragged into this.
It's really annoying when they do this but I suppose it was due to happen. Hopefully this'll blow over soon - if not I'm escaping as much as possible. heh it'll blow over sometime soon but until then I'll just play it safe.
*sighs*
You know, possibly after kendo tomorrow a drink at the pub might be worth while...
