Adrian Mead ra ra ra
Adrian Mead tomorrow! Adrian Mead tomorrow! My first Mead seminar so I’m dead excited – I’ll probably be a little less so after I’ve attempted some driving in the centre of Edinburgh but I’ll get there, you see if I don’t… even if I have to park illegally oh yes!

Hair today
Political debate… national issues….. they all pale in comparison to that massive issue, largely favoured by women but not solely (see David Beckham) the HAIRCUT DILEMMA. I have long curly hair, heat and humidity turn it into frizz hair so the dilemma looms – to cut or not to cut. I’m veering towards getting it…

Whistleblower
I’m posting this feeling a little queasy after watching ‘Whistleblower’ on BBC1 tonight. It exposed dodgy food practices in supermarkets, specifically Sainsburys and Tescos and was frankly, horrific. I don’t get easily affected by progs such as this usually, but after this one, ugh, I won’t be buying ANYTHING from any of the ‘fresh’ counters…

Brokeback Mountain
I’m probably one of the few people who hasn’t seen this, but I put that to rights after I got my Uni assignments finished. Wasn’t expecting to love it – probably because there was so much hype – but it was a glorious film. Can’t really see what the moral majority were complaining about either,…

Mission accomplished
Done done done! Finallyyyyyyyy, Interactive presentation done and full concept submitted, and 10 minute short and module critique submitted too phewww. In all, we had 5 hours of presentations (with some students still to do theirs) – so something of a long morning, but it was interesting to see how different everyone’s game concepts were…

Daniel Craig wears my dress
Okay he doesn’t really (though if he did I’m sure he’d still look fabulous darrrrrling), no, but I have some other tenuous yet exciting film news to report. With my vintage hat on recently, I sold this rather gorgeous vintage 70s black crepe and chiffon dress to a contact in London. Just found out that…

Bourne Ultimatum shoots in Edinburgh
oooh isn’t is kind of thrilling when you get a bit of film gossip (this is where 15 people email me to tell me that everyone already knows but don’t be raining on my parade, man). Last night they were setting up tracks and official film things outside the Caledonian Hotel in Edinburgh. Someone who…

George Bush is an utter winker
George Bush winked at the Queen… that’s it.. that’s all… George Bush winked at the Queen. I thought I was seeing things. Then when I realised I wasn’t, I thought maybe someone at the BBC News had actually shown a doctored YouTube clip rather than actual footage. I’m not a Royalist, but did he really…

Comrades!
Following on from the last post, I turned up for Uni hoping a few keen bods would also appear so we could salvage the day – and in fact another 8 students did! After a quick coffee, we decamped to the Screen Academy in the hope that we could use the room that had allegedly…

give good learning
Just got an email – no morning class this week at Uni, and our afternoon tutor is off being a Polling Officer so no class there. I feel I should be cheering but instead (I guess this proves I’m finally an adult) I’m thoroughly disappointed. I’m still going into town to do some work with…
