Of D-Day

So D-Day came and went. The big day, the 1st February 2008, in which our Dissertations had to be handed in. Overlooking the fact that I handed mine in two days earlier, I was actually quite relieved (even more so) that it was all over for the fact that maybe, just maybe, people would be able to do stuff again. Y'know...socially. Didn't really help that my friend, Matt, took one flick through my Dissertation and pointed out that I hadn't 1.5 spaced my conclusion, thanks dude. But at that point, truth be told, I was at a 'fuck it' stage. I wasn't going to reprint and then rebind it because of that. 

Last night we celebrated by going down to the SU (The Undercroft) for, possibly, the last time. It was a pretty good time until everyone, well the majority, decided to move on up to London to a club. I really thought this was pretty stupid, yeah London is cool and everything but you don't need to be in London to have a good time. We were all having a good time at the time, alcohol is alcohol, right? In a club we wouldn't have been able to talk or hear each other...there just seemed like no reason to leave. So I didn't. Thankfully, a few other peeps didn't go too so we all hung out together. 

Salome, in particular, wanted to go pretty badly not soon after as she wanted to get food. Hanging out for a while we went on to get some Chinese food (at like 11:00ish) only to, surprise, surprise, find it closed. There's a deep sense of irony when there's a brightly lit Kebab shop across the street calling like a siren. Ironic because, simply, you want some gnarly Chinese food and have to settle on greasy Kebab...and not only that but it truly was like a sirens song. It was alright though cause I didn't get a Kebab, I got a 1/2 pounder cheeseburger instead which was actually pretty good. Kebab shop burgers tend to be pretty good I've found in my experience, maybe I'm just having a good run. It's bound to run out sometime.

ANYWAY, film stuff. This project of mine seems to snagged itself a producer from my conversation with Salome last night. Salome sent me feedback for my script over Christmas with some glowing comments, which I loved, and has told me that if she had the choice she would've produced mine over the scripts chosen. Which, frankly, is pretty awesome. So when I mentioned filming it in the free time we'll have during the summer period she was all for it, assuming she'll be around. I'd love to have her on the team though, I've seen her as producer and she gets the job done, seemingly with ease. She knows what she's doing, and she wants to work on my lame-o script! 

This thing seems to be coming together pretty well. If I manage to get the role I want for the final year project (sounds important, it's not.) of script editor then I'll have plenty of time to edit up my script. I'm going under the hopeful assumption that they won't want to change the script at all which means that I won't really have to be on set, and if I do I'm bringing my goddamn Nintendo DS. 

BAND stuff! Sounds like the gig we're apart of is actually a Battle of the Bands kinda deal, not 100% on that but it'd be awesome if true. I know quite a few people and friends of mine who are going to try and come and, if they do, it'll be a great night. Hopefully! In case you're coming, here's the set list of originals and covers we've got so you can learn the words, etc.

1. Pathetic (blink 182)

2. Bras Are Awesome...I Wish You'd Show Me Yours

3. Irish Hearts Are Breaking

4. Girlfriend (Avril Lavigne)

5. Nintendo Song

6. Seventy Times Seven (Brand New)

7. (undecided cover, possibly Motion City Soundtrack)

That's not the confirmed order of the songs, but I'm pretty sure it won't be changing too much from that. So, go learn the words and sing the fuck along, guys!

That's it.

I'm out!

Steve.
