Starting work at Lion TV tomorrow. It’s snuck up fairly fast. Looking forward to it. I am used to starting in new places these days. Just wonder what I will actually be doing. Probably researching, but what exactly?
Back on the old 8:19 in the morning. Urgh. My friend is living at Turham Green during her six weeks placement. If I was there I would be one stop away from work. I could get up at 9 easily! The mind boggles. Meh, when I am in a good sleep groove getting up at 6:30 is fine.
I feel for commuters as in my example I need to get up at 6:30, so that means bed by 11 really, midnight if I am busy. If my vege-body clock is going to have any chance at all in the day. But I get home from work at about 7:30? leaving me with 4 and half hours to eat dinner, relax a bit, work on my current projects including edits. But anyway, I don’t want to do extra work when I have been at work all day.
I guess I am going to have to live in Bethnal Green or Battersea, something similar after this last year. I hope I can get moving in to London and get work pretty soonish. I am sure I will have to hang with the rents for a little while, but it will be nice to move on and start the next chapter in my life.
Currently racking brains for my minor project, but I just draw blanks. I am concentrating on personal projects at the moment. My minor will come to me. Just not immediately. I have decided to go for a short character/subject led doc, hopefully something will rear its head.
Band is going well, some solid practicing has been put down. I just need to get better so I can personally apply polish. But I am not that rusty can keep time fairly for hardcore/thrash metal. Also both songs have odd time parts. I play in 6/4 on the first and 3 in our second track. It’s a really cool sound actually, not by my doing but my guitarists. The three beat down is pretty sick. I need a double pedal. But, I just had to splash out on a new RAID drive for editing because my last one broke (crappy USB 2.0 anyway). But that was no way in my budget. And a pedal falls way behind me want of a wetsuit, fixed gear bike and a surfboard. Not to even mention the cost of living and the expenses I am going to have to cough up for my minor and major projects. Joy. Fuck money.
Going to go camping at Croyde Bay or similar soon to get a day of surf in and a deserved break from Lion TV and bar work. Will look into it.
I think that’s my life covered. It’s going alright. I will look at it a bit more purposefully when I have knocked off the required six weeks work placements, filled in the logbook and have got a minor idea sorted/in the works.
Speak to you soon.
