I’ve been really busy so far this year! This last ten days has seen me working in the capital for four of them, and then the rest of the time I’ve been working on stuff here in Manchester. Last Thursdsay I went down with James to London to shoot some interviews for Preview, and we drove back on Friday night after negotiating the mad traffic!
Then after my bike ride with Jamie on the Saturday, I spent the rest of the weekend working on various other jobs that have deadlines looming, before getting up at 4.30am on Monday morning to drive back down to London for more Preview filming. James came down later in the afternoon (he had to go to a meeting in the morning, so got the train down) and we spent an ‘exciting’ evening in the Travelodge (which has to be said aren’t the most luxurious of hotels!) The Holiday Inn that we stayed in on the Thursday was really nice, but this one was a little bit shabby, and the two single beds were so close together, it was pretty much like a double bed but with 2 matresses! It’s a good job we know each other pretty well!
Tuesday morning we drove over to Reading to film an interview with the world’s first cyborg! He was a really interesting guy actually – he’s a professor who’s experimented with having a microchip inserted into his arm and connected to his brain so that he could control stuff remotely, and also communicate ‘telepathically’! Weird stuff, but he’s convinced it’s all going to happen in the not-too-distant future!
Another day’s filming on Wednesday – this time in Manchester – but since we didn’t get back until 11.30pm the night before, I found it a pretty tiring day. Then the rest of this week, I’ve been editing stuff for the new DVD from thebandwithnoname. It comes out next month, and the master is being driven down to Milton Keynes tomorrow afternoon, and I’ve still got quite a lot of stuff to do for it!! I’m just rendering some stuff at the moment, which is why I’m writing my blog now, but I have a feeling there might not be too much sleep happening tonight! I still haven’t actually taken any proper time off since I went freelance (apart from a few days at Christmas) and I’m feeling like I could really do with a break! Can’t see that happening in the near future to be honest, and the thought of me going off somewhere on my own really doesn’t appeal to me. 
wow…you and james sound like you have the best jobs ever! You get paid to have fun and do cool creative stuff…i should have picked a different degree! I feel slightly jealous.
hehe… my job has its good and bad bits! No days off and working through the night to hit deadlines isn't one of the fun elements!! It's even worse for James 'cos he's married!
Though the degree thing has nothing to do with it… I didn't do any of this at uni, even though it was what I've always wanted to do! Loads of people I know who went to uni now do totally different work compared to what they studied!
That means there is still hope for me then! lol. I just need to figure out how to do the stuff 😀
hope your headache is better
"hope your headache is better"
haha… that's going to look a little bit random! But yes, it's much better thanks! :o)
I do believe last night's talk was recorded. The kit was certainly there, and I'm fairly sure they pressed the record button.
I'll speak to Monsieur le Hodges and see what becomes of it.
