Thoughts for the day

Red and White Swiss ARMY!

So I write again on my trusty laptop that I thought I had killed.  Many thanks go to Dom’s Father Mike who saved the day by replacing the System key.  Thanks also go to Time machine, for saving all my settings.  On the bright side I now have a spiny new 500gb HD drive.  I think I might treat both computers to some extra ram now as well.   So it’s the first proper friendly tomorrow, and I hear that we may have some new signings being unveiled.  Alan Pardew is the new manager and we have a super rich owner.  When things improve for the Saints, my life also gets better.  I am quite excited. And courteously optimistic.

The BBC

I don’t remember if I told you, if I’m repeating myself then I apologise. But after filming the doco for Barry Abingdon I filmed a race riot of about 400 kids and sent it into the BBC.  Well, one of the local journalists decided to have a little look at who I was, and found out a little about my films and ambitions through the Chalkstar web site.  She called me yesterday and has asked if the BBC can run a  Web Feature on me and if I don’t mind being interviewed on BBC radio Oxford next Friday 1.10pm.  Well any publicity is good publicity and I’m happy to do both.  you never ever know when this is going to work out for the best do you?  So what the hey?  Worst bit is that I am going to have to write a age about myself for them to edit!  And right now I don’t have my trusty co-writer to help out, so for the better part I have to do it by myself.

 The Future Feature

I’ve found out what my role in Septembers feature is.  I’m to be camera and lighting assistant.  Whilst this may not sound very exciting it’s actually a really important role and puts me right int the best place to gain the right knowledge for my future projects.  Whilst being hands on I get to be in a situation where I can hear most of the conversations between the Director and the director of photography. It’s also way ahead of being a runner.  So yes I’ll take that!  Thank you very much indeed :)

Poor Girl

I spent tonight with my Ex.  I can’t help but feel deeply troubled for her when things don’t go to plan.  She has to have an op, and that seams like the best of things at the moment.  Knowing her though, she will get through all of her issues, and I hope grow from the experience.   i do worry though.

But Now I’m Back in!

Many posts, thoughts and dreams have been missed whilst I have not been able to log into my ‘blog’.  But now I’m back and should be back to full strengt, even if I still cant spell.

What has been happening I hear you ask?

Well perhaps thats just my imagination.  Two pretty big things have happened of the last few weeks, one Graham got married, and Southampton became the fifth richest club in the U.K. after a Swiss National [of German Birth] bough the company saving it from oblivion.   Both these things are great.  For totally diferernt reasons, Southampton for my sanity, and Graham and Sharon for their mutual bonding.  Bless them.

I’m so busy

And I’ve killed my laptop. Dead. I wait with fingers crossed to see if Dom or his dad can magically save it.  God knows I need them too! I feel lost without it, though I still remain impressed withmy mini mac, which after not being used for years seams to be doing a fine job of keeping me going at the moment.  I’ve over comited just recently and given up the booze to help me get through it.  I’m a very significent man down at the moment and Have far to much to try and do all by myself.  But somehow, I will manage.  Life as the say [whomever they are] still goes on.  And so it does.

I’ll write more at some point.

Laters,

Chalkster
