Monday, August 30th, 2004 at 11:21 pmThe launch of ::BigBlake:: version 3 saw my old blog merging with this one, creating a formless void between posts.
So presented here are 3 extended episodes with over 25 minutes of previously unseen material. Enjoy.
Episode I - June 2004:
- I purchased a brand new and genuine copy of Microsoft Windows XP Pro (with SP1 and COA) for just under £4.00.
- Film and television music legend, Howard Goodall, granted me exclusive rights to a piece of his music for use in my short film, Sleep.
- Sleep was put on the ‘net.
- Sleep was shown at the Suburban Shorts Film Festival.
Episode II - July 2004:
- I participated in a pub crawl around Bromley in celebration of Rob B’s 18th birthday. However, not having any acceptable identification, I only managed to get into three public houses. I did get into a fourth, but was kicked out shortly after sitting down (along with one of Matt L’s work chums, Emma - who *was* underage), again for not having any acceptable identification.I wouldn’t mind, but not only do I not drink alcohol, I’m the oldest of the group.
- MSN started increasing the size of their Hotmail inboxes, and incorrectly gave me a 2GB account instead of a 250MB one. Naturally, I emailed them straight away to inform them of their cock-up, but five times they didn’t want to know. So I’ve now got a free 2GB Hotmail account.
Episode III - August 2004:
- In the early hours of one morning, I re-lived the antics of my old chatroom days with Rob B, who yet again reduced me to hysterics. What a guy!
- For a couple of weeks I got up considerably early to work on a building site. Never have I seen so much sand, cement and water in my life. Apart from at the seaside, of course. Though I don’t remember seeing much cement at Herne Bay - not that there’s much sand there, either.Oh, and I’ve been keeping count of how many times I’ve hit my head on the same bit of wood. It’s twenty-two at present.
- A letter for an audition got lost in the post, so I missed out on a gig. Bah.
- I finally got to see magician Dean Tavalouris’ show.
- I spent a handful of days with Joey E. One day we were at it for eleven hours
- Exam results. (Dum, dum, dum.) I didn’t get mine until a week after they were available, but was very pleased when I did get them: A for Film Studies, A for Media Studies and B for Intricate Twaddle. Plus my A, A & A for CCNA 1, 2 & 3.
- I’ve been asked to design yet another site.
- And another one.
Well, that’s about it - thanks for watching.
