I love these lyrics:
I’ve been collecting music for so long
Today I turned on my laptop and it’s all gone
I opened my iTunes and it’s bare
I can’t find the albums I downloaded anywhere.
Karma payback for not paying for these tracks
but I’d pay every penny just to have them back,
And Blogspot, she was my girlfriend,
Caught her cheating on me with Last.fm
I’m searching through my Recycle Bin
For some Jimmy Eat World, some Go It Alone, some anything
But it’s empty to my despair,
Full of photos from old shows and scene girls in their underwear.
Hell no, now I’m taping songs off the radio
How retro? I take my Walkman with me everywhere I go.
Very fortunately got to spend a week working at Passion Pictures. It’s more notable for its animation credentials but has a wealth of great documentaries under it’s belt, some prolific ones at that.
Had an interesting week. I worked mainly on a press push for a new documentary film but did the odd run about too. Lovely people and cool place. Will be going back to do some office running hopefully. Also had a good time with the director I was working for as well.
Met an editor who is going to get in contact with a couple of the better editing studios for me about doing some running for them so looking forward to that slotting in to place. Editing is something I hope to be able to fall back on, so getting my face around is much needed.
Got my stationery fix at Muji. Hell yeah.
Working on a few new projects at the moment, need to flex my directorial mind a bit, but really looking forward to the future, whatever it brings.
Got talking to an illustrator (due to her awesome personal style) about getting a cartoon logo/doodle I have wanted done for an age for my identity/site/cards, so hopefully that comes together well and with it my website. I am currently hunting to make a super short doc to be a main pull for my site - something poignant and shot beautifully, thinking cap on and ears up.
This project was such a lot of fun, I would love to try another one at some point. The print has such an interesting quality to it; I’m really looking forward to binding the books and tipping in the colour solargraphs. If anyone wants a copy let me know.
There she is.
Big things are happening, this is time for change in my life. I think I am going to put it into fifth gear and get up to 88mph.
To the future.
Or sort of like a ninja utilising their super special secret unknown move they have been training for for ages unbeknownst to their team and enemy. And it just majorly breaks shit.
Yer, something like that.
