buzzards and breasts
On a definite (mini) roll : have sent 2 pitches to Lucy’s pitching extravaganza detailed in the last 2 posts; entered the ‘Royal Tapes’ competition with an odd little thing I suddenly thought of a few days before submission date; sold a couple of those gorgeous vintage dresses I found here, which makes my financial…

Edinburgh Interactive Festival 2007
Just got an email regarding the first roster of sessions at the 2007 Edinburgh Interactive Festival (12-14 August).

It aims to ‘expand the creative culture…

Due to finish at 5:30pm, the smarty-pants among you will realise that I’m writing this just before 5pm which does…

Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize
On another note, DID YOU KNOW THAT IN SECOND LIFE YOU CAN PURCHASE WORKING GENTIALIA? I cannot believe that in all the material I read about this place that I never once read anything about this. Of course, in realistic terms, it’s not really ‘working real’ genitalia – if it was, you’d be able to…

Yoo-nee-ver-sit-ee
Got my marks back today for the Interactive Module which included that nerve-wracking presentation from last month. Scored a Distinction so am well chuffed as wasn’t sure if I had got the aim of the module totally wrong. This joy was tempered somewhat by the fact that I’m STILL waiting for my marks from the…

Pear-shaped and proud of it
Ok, so yesterday went a bit pear-shaped which meant I didn’t get along to the Adrian Mead seminar BAHHHHH. I’m gutted actually, but a personal crisis got in the way (which I won’t go into but it wasn’t nearly as interesting as it sounds). It’s been looming for a short while so at least that’s…

Second Life
Whilst researching the Interactive module at Uni, I was told about ‘Second Life’ – a cult every-expanding online world that you can enter for free. You sign up, download the software, create a character and then you’re free to wander it’s amazing shores. And you can fly… you can FLY. I signed up the other…
