And so I face the final cutain

Can't actually remember what song the title is from but I saw it on the Tom and Jerry movie years ago and it's majorly appropriate for today... Today we filmed the last few scenes for Shellshocked! I am no longer playing Kelly and we have all the footage needed to finish the movie. I'm really going to miss playing the character and the random moments I've shared with the film crew but I know we'll all stay in contact. The deadline for the film is January 11th so hopefully should be getting a copy before then. I really can't wait! Filming today was such a hassle though, with background noise coming from the cars and buses on the road and the trains going past on the line and of course people, but we apparently managed to get the sound nice and clear enough to hear. Then we went to the woods near by and filmed the romantic scene between Paul and Kelly. The scene was supposed to be us feeding ducks at a lake... but it took us half an hour to find any! A lot of coaxing was needed, especially as Matt (one of the crew) kept throwing stones in their general direction and scaring them away.

5 hours, 3 trips to Jo and Dan's apartment, 1 bottle of Kopperburg, 1 carton of watermelon Rubicon, 1 trip to Morrisons, 1 trip to Mezz Store, 1 trip back home, 1 tin of rice pudding, 1 episode of Misfits, 1 episode of Rude tube, lots of videos on the internet and some shared file data later....

Well sorry about that, but do you see why my life has become so busy recently? I only went over to Jo and Dan's to get some footage I needed for my video work. But it was a good time. I think her friend Max may be lending me a disk that has fireworks and dreamweaver on! yay! I can make my own websites on this computer and remaster the language of CSS, HTML and Javascript which I began learning at A-Level. I gave Jo and Dan their christmas presents today which is one of the "things to do" crossed off my list, but of course I still have the other god-only-knows-how-many left to do before Tuesday. The thought of everything left is really quite daunting and I can't wait for Wednesday as it will mean I get some time to rest, relax and go back to a world where my mum cooks for me!

Random thought stemming from tiredness... you know I could probably make a rice pudding tin stack from all the empty ones I have lying around. I doubt the cleaners would love me but it would look quite cool. Plus, does cider count towards your 5-a-day? I hope so because that would give me an excuse to drink the stuff more often. (at £1.99 a bottle I need a damn good excuse. Maybe I could convert to brothers strawberry cider rather than my favourite Kopperburg Elderflower and Lime? Hmmm) I need to sleep. Badly. Goodnight world. zzzzzzzzzzzzz
