He's a star..

Ted

I did another shoot of the film I'm gonna be in last night. It went ok, not much else to say about it except for it was decidedly free of people peppering the word "darling" in their speech. Sure to disappoint some...

I decided to take along Mr Camera and get a few shots of the action as it was being filmed. This is Ted, and he is who the movie is all about. He doesn't do much but it's named after him so he must be important.

Just to reassure you that I'm still on this blogging thing...

What is it with Saturdays? They're so fucking boring! I'm totally bored out of my mind and have plenty of time to write a long and thoughtful post, but of course I have nothing to say.

It's still cold, only it's rainy as well now. My weather program say it's 5 degrees but it feels like 1. What the fuck does that mean? Either it's 5 degrees or it's not! And if it's 5 degrees then whatever it feels like feels like 5 degrees don't you think? Anyway it's fucking cold, and there have been a few people around wearing woolly caps and gloves already so I shouldn't worry about looking like a dork, not that I should anyway because it's pretty clear that I'm a dork regardless of woolly hats. I should embrace my dorkism. At least my ears won't fall off.

The other night we filmed the first bit of our movie. I wasn't really pleased with the final take of my bit that they chose, but it wasn't all that bad. Next shooting is on next Tuesday, and a few more after that and it should be done by late November. After that there's nothing but the cold, dark and loneliness to keep me company.

Oh yeah, that Christmas thing. Grrrr.

Such a lovely time of year....

It's been such a beautiful autumn. Very mild, almost like spring but with all the beautiful bright colours that the falling leaves give us. Ah, so lovely.

Until today. Actually until about a week ago. One day it cooled down a little. Then it got a little colder. Then it got colder still, and this morning when I went out it was fucking freezing!!!! My bloody ears nearly broke off!!

Ok, I'm slightly exaggerating, but this presents a dilemma. I have the feeling I'm going to need to wear my woolly hat very soon. But it's only November! I can't wear a fucking beanie in early November, I'll look like a fucking dork! If only other people would already wear them, but they won't, because it's fucking early November and they don't want to look like a dork. They'll wait until everyone else starts wearing them and then....

See what I mean? Life is so hard.

Now all I need is the cats.

I've come one step closer to realizing my dream. Yesterday I moved. Into my own flat this time. Finally after years of sharing I have my own place.

Actually though, right now I'm sharing it with someone for a short while. This is because the time I needed to move out of my other flat coincided (closely enough) with the time a certain person I know is leaving town.

And that will bring me yet closer still to my ultimate ambition of being a mad old spinster. For when he leaves on that jet plane, never to return*, I will be truly alone, with no one to love, or care about, or talk mindless nonsense with (someone cue the violins here please).

At least I'll have my own place, and now I can finally get some cats, and really, who need a man when you've got a kitten to cuddle:).

And of course it opens up more possibilities for better self portraits in exciting new environments. Oh yeah, I'm gonna have a whale of a time, (sigh).

*with vague ideas to maybe come back one of these days, but I'm not holding my breath here.

Alright, alright already...

Time sure flies. It's been a while since I've written anything as some of you have noticed. The other night I had an idea of something I wanted to write, which I totally forgot the next day so I came up with a sort of funny little "I forgot what I was going to write about so I'm writing about nothing" post, but I didn't end up writing it for some reason.

My excuses for absence are few and they're pretty slim. I haven't been more busy than usual, and sure I never have anything to write about but that's never stopped me before, and I could say I'm lazy, but I've always been so....

I've been taking quite a few photos, I think I'm getting better at it. So go and visit Ms Kat on flickr and lavish her with attention and praise if you're inclined to do that sort of thing. And you can also go to my photoblog 1000 Words which was I also took the opportunity to update earlier today.

And that's not all! I finally did a new post on my other blog which if you don't know it already, my very simple but rather brilliant idea to document the stranger and more ridiculous search terms that lead people to this here blog. I haven't bothered to do it for a while but someone called anonymous, left this comment out of the blue,

Another complete waste of bandwidth... Your blog is beyond stupid and boring, and that ins't easy to accomplish.

I figured it was time to jump back into it.

And just because I haven't been doing enough lately, here's a recent photo of me, for you all to enjoy!


Happy Halloween!

There's 2 of me!

What do you think?

So why is it that I get next to nothing done. I realise that it's about a week since I last posted. So much for getting back into intensive blogging, shame on me (slaps self on wrist).

I had another rehearsal for my upcoming movie, it went pretty well, we should be shooting in a couple of weeks so after a bit of editing the thing should be available on utube or something, so you can see how good/crap/neutral I am.

A lot of stuff is going on which isn't necessarily keeping busy but it's worrying me, which I've been meaning to write about for ages but I haven't figured out how to put it all into words. One of these days.

Apart from that I've been taking lots of pictures. Like the one above. Actually, I'll let you in on a secret. That's 2 pictures! Yes, one of me and another of me, stitched together. Clever isn't it?

Making movies.

I'm gonna be!

Not a huge production of course, just a small amateur group that I met a few months ago, finally we're doing something. I've gone to 2 rehearsals so far, and it could be one of the reasons I haven't been blogging so much lately, but if it is it's not until at least #6 on the list, (#1 being laziness).

I play Mattie. Mattie is a friend of Dan's. Dan is a dude. He is a very well liked and well respected dude, but all is not what it seems.....

That's about as much as I can tell you now. I got the "lead" female role in the film. It was between me and the other female actress in the group (that was there the other night anyway) and my interpretation of the character was closer to what the director intended than hers was, and I thought I was pretty darn good actually. She was pretty good too, but not as much "Mattie" as I was.

I don't know when the film will be done, possibly about 2 months from now. I should be able to show y'all when the dvd is available, that's if you're interested of course.

Unless my performance really suck or look really awful in it that is.

No need to fret, my dears...

Proper blogging shall commence shortly. I'm getting itchy fingers and am ready to plunge back into the world of thought-sharing. I had something I majorly wanted to write about today but I didn't get around to it yet, and I'm off shortly, but I promise, promise, promise that I'll be posting something of substance to... I mean, soon. ish. This week sometime. Maybe.

In the mean time you can all go check out my flickr photos and admire me there.
