Only a four day update to do for once
Hey guys, Ryu's finally gotten herself sorted and come back for an update ^_^
I'm flicking between this and re-writing my ten minuet script today (for Ian) and I need to start with the basics for the ten minuet script for Peter which should be fun.
Tuesday - was an okay day, got up in time and headed out to uni with little problems with the traffic - I think I only grumbled at something in one of the ques which is quite a record for me really. Got in and went through a lecture on character motivation which got me thinking quite happily about my work. Once that was over I headed to the libary and spent two-and-a-half hours doing more research on my feature film and discovering a lot about the personifications of death (the bits I read anyway). Finished that and headed back to my tutorial with Peter, thought I was running late but turned out that I wasn't. Damn David for getting out early and giving me a heart attack almost.
Went through the tutorial and found that I just needed a couple of things to be tweeked and then I needed to send my script off to the actors which should be fun next week. Headed to work after that and mooched a little in Boots trying to find something to get mam and dad cause I wanted to buy the pudsy bear bubble bath and didn't want to appear mean for not getting them something. Headed into work and went through a fairly nice night and wrote down stuff for my feature (this was before I banned myself from working on it cause I was making myself ill over it all)
Came home and did not watch Exosits on the point that I had to get up for uni the next day and I did not really fancy the idea of being scared out of my wits. So we headed to bed and I slept peacefully on.
Wednesday - got up and headed into Uni once again and thank god we've got Ian Cottage back cause compared to Samm he is great. Ian has done it all, screenwriting, directing and producing so he knows exactly what he is doing and how to change things around whereas Samm was only a producer and didn't exactly push us to develope our stories into pieces that could work. We went through the various activities and discussed in length how we could change things and for my piece I've been told to focus more on the characters reactions to what has happened and make the action take place over a period of time with an example of evening, night and day and I think I've got a basic plot that is going to work a little bit better now which I'm happy about.
Came home and mooched basically cuase I was still ill from overworking myself and needed time to just chill out. Firstly I edited the five minuet script and had to go to the little shops twice to get paper to print it all off and then post the copies off. Hopefully they got there, should have by now and went home. Finished watching King of Bandit Jing and it's one of those ones that if you're feeling really crappy then it raises a smile. Still not the best but I'm going to buy it for when I'm feeling mega stressed and need to watch something that doesn't make a lot of sense and is just strange. Had a kip for the first time in ages and Dad woke me up cause he couldn't find me downstairs. Bless him.
Went to work and we finally had our halloween fun and games - cause we could only have it on wednesday which is the allocated fun day. I didn't win the story contest but I didn't really care. Would have liked to read the others to find out what I was up against but no such luck. Ended up playing a donut eating game against Jeff and loosing but only cause I came in half-way through but it was still a laugh. Then played on a computer game called Buzz which is this music quiz, lost completely and totally but it is so much fun. I'm seriously going to consider getting it come the january sales and then get you lot over so we can try and beat each other at it ^_^
Came home late cause of the game and had an argument with Tiscali cause it wouldn't connect in any way shape or form for about twenty minuets - thankfully that's resolved now. Checked e-mails and then went to bed.
Thursday - got up a little late and made Dad porched eggs on toast after I unintentually woke him up when I was putting the clothes away. Went into Uni and went through a lecture on The American Avent-Guard which is a rather strange subject but an interesting one. Still don't like Scorpio Rising at all and will never ever watch it again. Just to make matters even more perfect the guy who made the bloody thing turned out to be a satanist so that just put things into even more stranger realms. Watched Rome,Open City and wow that is such a very well done post-WWII film set in Italy. It's quite slow paced but some of the sequences will stay eteched on your mind. A high recommenedation to watch - though be prepared to get annoyed at the person who did the subtitles cause they tend to leave huge chunks out so if you don't happen to speak Italian or German you're kinda screwed.
Headed to work in the dark and wet conditions which was strange cause people were driving reasonably well for once bar the idiot in front of me who kept twenty below the speed limit. Got in and only me and Jeff were in again so I sat and wrote a strange little sci-fi idea down - well if you can count four pages as a little idea - to pass the time. Came home and forgot that my parents were out. So I went to Ace Pizzas and got myself tea and then sat down and watched Battle Royal. Very gory and blood infested film but one to watch. I'll probably buy it when it's in the sale next. Of course it's not exactly one you watch with your parents around...pity they walked in half-way through but never mind. I enjoyed it but ended up waking up with the same bloody headache that I went to bed with, which is quite creepy.
Friday/Today - got up at 9:30 after getting sick of the alarm clock going off and walked the dog and posted a letter for Mam. Came back and cleaned the top part of the house as usual whilst blasting out the JPOP which was quite fun. Finished that off, made breakfast and then came online. And that's me done for today, going to Kendo tonight and then see where I go from there.
Catch you all later

See, now there was me, and I didn't think Battle Royal was all *that* bloody. Sure there was suggested violence, and the occasional scene that was actually graphic, but overall, I didn't think it was.... except for the start when they're still in the class and the girl interpts the video! I haven't watched that in a while... I've still got it out on loan somewhere! But it's cool anyway.
Good to read your update though. Sounds as if things are going okay.
