Matt's not happy! >:(
Ok there was a few seconds of what I shot, which was about what I was expecting, were was my bloody credit?!?!?
Next week, is the first Selling Houses Abroad (Housetrapped), I'd better be bloody credited on that, mainly cos I worked on it for over 4 months and that the Portugal story was mine!
So yes, I'm grumpy.
Selling Houses, tonight on Channel 4 at 8pm!
hopefully it'l l be my first broadcast credit (see makeover stuff a few posts back) and maybe even some footage i shot too!!
If not, I'm gonna be horribly embarrassed and a tad pissed off.
Seems like the French are a bit pissed don't it?
Went and saw Hostel on the weekend, it's alright, not as good as Cabin Fever in my opinion, nor is it as good as Saw II, that I watched last night and was most entertaining.
Got to see Slither tho, that looks damn good! ;) Proper stupid horror film, last good one of those was Eight Legged Freaks, so bring it on!
Why is my bloody net connection so slow?!? >:( dammit.
Anyway...I've got a big old pack of Wine Gums, I'm gonna watch Seven Samurai in a bit (I might even have a choc ice!)
I'm currently having to use every little bit of will-power I can muster at the moment to stop myself using my shiny new Virgin credit card to purchase myself a shiny new iMac... i must be strong...god I want a new mac...I can technically afford a Quad-G5 at the mo :/ this ain't funny!
life is so unfair..still party on!
Ok, after viewing them... his films in order of greatness (IMHO).
Happy birthday to Greg!!
I have to say, this CSS lark is confusing the buggery out of me.
I'm getting there but I think it's been far too long since I last properly coded anything, my logical-code understanding mind has gone to mush. I've changed the links in the sidebar for del.icio.us links, and tried to get the style to match the rest of the blog, can't seem to get the link font right tho :/
At this rate I doubt I'll be completely re-vamping the look of this thing!!

:D
in fact I've just looked at a load more of the site...WOW!

Well, just had lunch, jacket potato, cheese n beans, top notch, thankyou very mych Cafe oneten.
Watched Gozu last night, VERY ODD, but also very good, 2nd best of the 3 Takashi Miike films I've seen so far, in order of greatness (my opinion)...
The other thing is I've just seen a notice in the canteen that says there's a charity that buys wheelchairs with plastic milk bottle tops?!?!? Slightly surreal.
Another day out n about, well half a day anyway. A trip up to Sunbury-on-Thames to recce a comparative property for SH, then back to the office...approximatly 4 hours travelling and around 20 mins filming :/ you do get to see some interesting sights tho ;) ------>
Still, it's out n about, that's the main thing. Hopefully I should be finished on SH pretty soon, if I'm lucky by the middle of tomorrow, but I think this one's gonna haunt me. Gonna spend a couple of weeks contributor finding for another production about the schools admission system, it doesn't sound the most exciting subject in the world but it seems I do have to find some interesting people and let's be honest...it's not houses!
On a cinematic note, went and saw The Weather Man yesterday...what a dissappointing pile of wank that was, damn those clever trailer editors! Should've listened to Dr Kermode on this one (not Wolf Creek tho!!)
Looks like I'm going up to the 3rd floor next week to work for a couple of weeks on Admission Impossible, a documentary about the school admissions process, to help with contributor finding. Could only be a couple of weeks but it's still a couple more weeks paid!! Plus I'll be closer to the edit suites so I might get a look-in there!! ;)
Oh yeah!! you spend ages trying to arrange something, finally get it sorted and within the space of about 10 minutes, it all goes to shit.
dammit.
don't count your chickens!
Had a chat with the people-person in the office this morning, apparently there's nothing crewing up at the mo, possibly not for a couple of weeks :/ could get a bit of a break...albeit unpaid! Anyway she's gonna have a chat with da bossman again and hopefully let me kno l8r
Ok, so no more getting out for me just yet, handed the rushes into the co-ordinator, although I'd labelled it to death I'd forgot to put on the location name (DOH!), knew there'd be something :/
Still don't know what's going on long term contract wise, seems there's a lot of productions in develpoment at least, and I think the liason for work that's going wasn't in the office today, or was just simply ignoring me but let's think positive here!!
On another note I've installed Google Desktop on the current work PC I'm having to use (BAH!), which is pretty damn handy I can tell you, needs to have a bookmarks option (although I'm gonna explore this whole del.icio.us social bookmarks malarkey), and something else that I've forgotten, nevermind.
Also came across this rather bizarre link aswell. Off home now. L8r.
Why does Microsoft make things so bloody awkward?!? Although my MSN Space had it's drawbacks, it was chugging along quite nicely, but then all of a sudden something changed, maybe they added some more poxy activex or something and now even making a simple post on it is a world of pain, so...Blogger here I am :) (plus the fact, this one should work better with my mac)
for reference... http://spaces.msn.com/rooser-rant/ for the "archive" as it were.
So..on to business, I was on location for Selling Houses on Friday just gone, which was hard work, but fun, got to spend time cleaning paint off things, putting furniture together and doing some filming for broadcast aswell, top day. Saturday...good lord I was in pain (and still am today) why oh why does my arse hurt?!?! It's not like I used my arse to clean anything or hold the bloody camera!? Dammit.
Anyway..that'll do for now, I'm gonna arse around with the settings and template I think.
L8r
