The Wonderful World of University

It's a funny world when I spend my weekends drawing really bad pictures of shots for a film while eating 65p marshmellows, isn't it?

Yet this is actually the most proper work I've done yet. Storyboards for a film. I'm actually enjoying it though. When you're going for an artistic film, the amount of thought you have to put into the film is quite amazing. This is only five shots, but I need to construct everything in the shots perfectly. Makes you wonder though... There's no way in hell Hollywood director's do that! But here we're trained to consider every single minor detail in the shot (and even the actors, no saying 'that's what they look like' as an excuse, you need to cast the right people because EVERYTHING you do is read into).

It's fun, but challenging. And can be expensive to find all the things you want for the shots, but that might be me taking it too seriously.

House life rocks, by the way. I love living in a house, and our house itself is pretty awesome. The cat is awesome too, but she currently shits in the kitchen quite a lot, which pisses me off no end (as well as everybody else), but still.

It's just so great to have a house, so much more social, so much easier to hang out together without being in some crappy awful kitchen or such. My housemates are pretty awesome too, so it's lots of fun. Played a suprising amount of Smash Bros, although it's filtered out a bit lately, I'm sure we'll be playing it again soon.

Oh, and everybody I've moved in with loves Doctor Who, so everybody wants to watch it's spin off, Torchwood, starting tonight, which makes me look a lot less sad for wanting to watch it!

Returning to Reading

Well, after the world's longest summer holiday, I'm going back to university. Should be interesting. I forsee a year of dull lectures, learning ridiculous chinese theatrical customs, creating a film that makes Catwoman look like a masterpiece and much Seargant Bilko style hiding of the cat our housemate has got from the landlord and estate agents.

I have a feeling, for once, I'll end up with a few funny uni stories, judging by how we're set up. But other than that, I am sad to be leaving Plymouth. I have it easy, in that I'm the last one to leave, so most people have already gone. Makes it feel like I'm leaving less behind, but still. I'm gonna miss everyone.

Luckily we have the 'trip to Alton Towers' plan ready to put into action. That's going to ROCK. I can't wait.
