Deadline!

So, I have trouble writing things that don't have a deadline. This is not new information. In an attempt to help me, the lovely Laura has decided that she will set me a deadline for the latest thing I am writing, which is aimed at being a one hour TV pilot.

So - Out of Time (Working Title) should be written by 3 weeks on Friday.... So Friday 19th June. She did give me a time, but I forgot what it is.

The reason I am telling you all about this is that being as most people who read this tend to see or speak to me in real life, I need you all to bug me about why I'm not writing whenever you see me :)

My Bank Holiday Weekend...

So, I had a plan for today. I was going to go shopping, tidy up my flat and then write some stuff.

That all kinda went to hell :P

I managed shopping..... and then I've spent ages watching TV and playing flash games....

Oh well :D

Maybe I'll do some writing in a bit.....

Calmer Post...

OK, I've calmed down a little on the Deadpool front... and yes, I did enjoy most of the rest of Wolverine :)

I have a job interview!! At Bryanston next week.. so fingers crossed. :D

Other than that, the Great Wonderland Glue Job of 09 is finished, and consequentially the show is out of my hands...

And I'm writing again :) A Panto and a TV Pilot. :D

It's all good :D

Oh - and way too much work this week - 7 days straight.... :S

What the fuck happened to Deadpool? (SPOILERS for WOLVERINE if anyone cares)

Just saw X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Too angry to type much.

Why, why, WHY did they do that to Deadpool?

Let's take a character called the Merc with a Mouth and..... GET RID OF HIS MOUTH!!!

ARGHGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

FAQ About Time Travel

Today, I decided to take myself off to the cinema to see the film "Frequently Asked Questions about Time Travel" as it seemed to contain everything I like in a film:

Sci-Fi (CHECK)
Time Travel (CHECK)
A Pub (CHECK)
Something nice to look at (CHECK)
Comedy (CHECK)

And it was well worth it. I know it's only a low budget film, and that by next weekend it will be being forced out of cinemas, firstly by X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and then after that by Star Trek (Both of which, it has to be said, appeals to much the same demographic) and I expect that FAQATT will never make any money and be forgotten about. Which is a shame. Because it's a well shot, well thought-out and well crafted little film that everyone who likes those subjects deserves to see.

I was alarmed, however, that when I went to see it this afternoon, I was the ONLY person in the cinema watching it. I really hope it makes money, because otherwise people will be even less inclined to fund small films in future.

So here's a plan. This week sometime, go and see it. I know it won't be on in every cinema, but I would imagine it's showing somewhere close to you (Yes you, I am talking to YOU blog reader, not any other blog reader, this is personal). If you have a significant other, go on Orange Wednesday so it's cheaper for you :) But go and see it. Support the british film industry.

Plus did I mention, it's rather good :)

Job Applications and Gluing Wonderland Together

So, I've applied for two jobs in the Poole/Bournemouth area today - One at the BIC and one at Bryanston School.

Ironically, they are both positions I have applied for before, and consequentially I do not hold out a great deal of hope (particularly at the BIC, as I know they tend to employ their own casual staff when a permanent position opens up)

But there we are.

Also - I've started the great Wonderland glue job.

What do you mean by that Brawny? I hear you ask....

*Listens expectantly, is disappointed when no-one asks, but decides not to pursue the point*

Well, I recorded a selection of wonderful studio singers to record Wonderland vocals for me over Easter, but as my wonderful Multi-track machine is dying, I had to do it the old fashioned way, recording a microphone to minidisc and playing the backing track through a seperate system. On the positive side, this has worked well.

On the negative side, it means I now have to seperate every take and glue each one into it's specific position in the song. And then record my own vocals.... It's gonna take some effort....

So I'm procrastinating and off to read a book :)

Well, I is back in the London Town....

And working way too hard, and consequentially doing way too little when i get home.

But am still loving Biking goodness :)
