Bone Tired, again
right, i ain't working this friday, nor am i working till saturday afternoon. so therefore i have designated this friday official 'Rob gets drunk and has fun for once' Day. if anyone catches me being a moody bastard like i was last week you have my permission to take me out the back and shoot me.
speaking of which, for reasons of my own i was horrifically down last week, i was hoping going out would help me cheer up (when i left work for the tap i was like a little kid at christmas it was silly.) however it didn't work and i just seemed to drag other people down with me. By far the highlight of evening was the car not starting on the way home, i was about ready to give in then, fortunately Jim's dad was on hand with some jumpleads and i was on my way (thanks again!). turns out one of the contacts on the battery was loose, so nothing serious but when i turned the key and absolutely nothing happened, that was a real 'Oh for fuck's sake!' moment.
been back at uni presicely five minutes and already were done for the year. i have an exam tomorrow, and then thats it. the saddest thing is no more screenwriting lectures. i shall miss those the most. not just because of Goran's genius, but also all the excellent company, particulary John, Ben and Adam, i must work with all three on something as soon as possible.
watched American Splendor yesterday, what a great little film, i recommend it to all.
more when i think of it TTFN

BONE TIRED
The Prisoner and a stream of conciousness post
"OPEN WIDE!!
YOUR EYES!!!
YOUR EYES YOU IDIOT!!!!
me and the cab driver both slept all the way to the airport"
thank God for Henry Rollins. The man who wakes up angry and cleans his teeth with contempt.
i don't even have the will to be annoyed by anything anymore, i either try to laugh it off or blank it. The world is fucked, and so am i. Maybe it's the other way round i can't seem to decide, quite without realising it i just quoted Therapy? a truly excellent band who new album i await with trepidation, but i digress...
i have decided not to care about anything that doesnt involve me or interest me. Nobody else gives a shit about anything important so why should i carry the worries of the world on my back? i am but one man, how i am supposed to change the world for the better? so fuck it.
I have discovered Blue Cheer in the last week, thank you Magic Discs! one of those record shops with more dogs than customers. Blue Cheer formed in the sixties, covered Summertime Blues and then dropped off the radar, they've been back for a few years now, noodling away unnoticed by anyone except a few ageing hippies, and me. The album i bought is them live in japan in 1999, heavy as fucking hell! and these guys wrote this stuff in the sixties!!! this band and the MC5 is where heavy metal began. Next stop Vincebus Eruptum, the album that allegedly inspired stoner rock.
tune in next time, when i will give you a full report of this war movie we made, it's wicked.

Another Shoot, more bleedin' editing.
So i didn't even have to be there, i'm the editor, my job is yet to come, but still i went on the train to dover and stood about in the rain and the cold (oh god, the cold)watching movie magic happen. This one's gonna be great, we've got smaoke and fake blood and everything! what more could you want?
Let me explain, for some reason all film students think alike, it's probably because, we all watch the same 'non-mainstream' movies.
As such almost every film that gets made here is either about,
1. drugs
2. deep psychological stuff
3. both
this is all fine when made by pros, memento, the machinist etc. are great, but students are never any good at it and one gets bored of the same old shit over and over again.
however this time, something different is happening, cos Mike, our director had a truly awesome idea. We've made a bleedin' war movie on a student film budget, to accomodate this it only features one guy, doing apocalypse now style voice over but still, it's gonna fucking rock! have some pictures just to prove it
My Photobucket
I'm gonna have fun editing this.

Good Lord!
The prisoner is Tagged! and is now forced by arcane powers to tell his darkest secrets
Blame Livewire, she tagged me and now i must obey.
here are the rules of this littel game
The Rules: The first player of this game starts with the topic "five weird habits" and people who get tagged need to write an entry about their five weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next five people to be tagged and link to their web journals. Don't forget to leave a comment in their blog or journal that says "You have been tagged" (assuming they take comments) and tell them to read yours.
ok, these are likely to be rather dissapointing and un-neurotic...
1. I fiddle with things absent mindedly, often the first time i even realise i've picked something up is when i've taken it apart or broken it.
2. I often have a buzzword which i will say pretty much constantly for a few weeks then never again, by which time i have moved on to a new word or phrase.
3. I always lock up the house when i leave, but thrity seconds down the road i'll have convinced myself i didn't and have to turn back, confirm the house is locked and be on my way again, this happens every time.
4. I headbang, gratuitously, in public places. I'm sorry but if the right music comes on i'm off, wherever.
5.ummmm, oh i dunno! i chew my pens. or indeed anything made from soft plastic, dunno why this is preferable to chewing gum, just is, one day i'll choke to death and then i'll be sorry.
ok. my five victims will be....
1.Dan
2.Paul
3.John
4.Jim
5.Leasha
go forth my friends and tag others etc. etc. # posted by The Prisoner | 12:08 PM |
