"...Knowing my luck, I'll come back as me!"

"I've got this horrible feeling that if there is such a thing as reincarnation, knowing my luck, I'll come back as me!" - Rodney Trotter

The quote doesn't foreshadow the mood of this post, it just made me piss myself laughing!
This is quite a happy blog post! Today, I have hung out with my family, met up with my Dad again, spoke to Lauren for over an hour (thanks for dying on me, phone!) and am just about to go and make some food. In short, it's been a nice, relaxing day. Pub later!!!

Southern Comfort with Lemonade (my usual) or Strongbow? I haven't decided yet. One's manly, and the other is Strongbow! (canned laughter here)

I really do need to do some filming soon, though. Maybe tomorrow - it's too dark to get the shots I need now. If only the tape hadn't corrupted... Sorry if this post isn't coherant, I'm just getting some thoughts out of my head!

Type some more shit up soon!

Everyday Life: Game Over

New concept for an Everyday Life movie. Read the synopsis here:

"John has returned home to visit the family. Deciding to go on a day trip, the family returns to find that something lethal has escaped from John’s Xbox – a Left 4 Dead hunter. Now, John and Vannessa must recapture it before all hell breaks loose in Barrow! "

Novels, Nights Out and Suits...

So, it turns out that my goal of attracting a girl at last nights' party was not to be. I had everything I needed: suited up, alcohol and I enttered with three very beautiful girls. Shame that all the girls at the party were taken, really!

Never mind, as the poem goes; "The best laid schemes of mice and men, often go askew". Plenty more oppertunities to try before Christmas...although, I might need to get my suit cleaned - there is white powder all up one side of it, and it looks like I fell into a giant bag of cocaine!

In other news, I've begun writing a book! Based on my amateur machinima 'Resort of Horrors', the as-of-yet unnamed book is little more than a 2,000 word prologue. However, it is starting to sound good, I think. Here's a little snippet for yourselve to judge:

"“Thank you, Thomas” Daniels smiled at the reassuring look on Farley’s face. In the distance, thunder rumbled loudly once more. This time the earth seemed to shake a little. Above the men’s heads, the lights swung back and forth slightly, skewing the shadows almost unnoticeably." - Prologue

Let me know what you think in a comment! Until next time, guys!

I want to make a movie...

...But could I get away with it? 'Everyday Life' works well as a series of shorts, but to make a 30 minute film...I'd need a great script, a lot of free time and actors who would be willing to sacrifice their time for free.

I dunno, it depends on how many people want to see an 'Everyday Life' film... I'd like to have music composed specifically for the film too, so that way I could sell it on as my own work. It's a toughie. Plus, I'm not sure if I'd feel right making a film version. I might write a draft script to see how it might look. Until then, speak soon!
