Tips on worsening your insomnia #4: Make a film.

After yet another long, dry silence from my end, here's another useless post about how to up your bouts of Chinese eyes, nail biting and cephalgic dauntings.

I would start this off with the generic 'What, you ask, could possibly make my lack of sleep any worse?!' however the answer lays right before your eyes in plain helvetica- right up there, in the title bar; Make a film. Not one out of personal choice, though. No, not one simply compiled by love and free time. I mean one that your summer relies upon. One that will be the determining factor between whether or not you get referrals, whether or not you get promoted to the next year of your course, whether or not another polar bear shall die. Excuse the embarrassing bursts of melodrama, it is, however, 3 am and I am nowhere near done.

Items in tonight's checklist:

-Write a covering letter, career plan and curriculum vitae for a beloved local tele presenter. Sarcasm? Never.

-Complete a production folder which, despite having a week's long extension, I still have not even bothered looking at.

-Edit a few scenes, fix the script mark-ups, log sheets and story boards. Thankfully, Premiere Pro CS6 works in a considerably smoother way than its predecessors, else I might have had to resort to smashing my brand new laptop. A plan which, if I may speak frankly - and I know I can do just that, I am not profoundly keen on.

Did I mention that I got a kitten?
Kitten comes complete with a good read and some interesting tunes.  Batteries not included. Terms and Conditions apply. Kindly ask bill payer's permission before indulging in strawberry fields and glass onions.

I leave you with this, and with this I leave you.

Day 04- Coffee in a soup mug thing.

I should have taken a picture of it! But, alas, at 1000 hours my brain still fails to function normally. What I am talking about, in case you've not yet noticed, is the 'soup mug thing'. Basically, it's a bowl-like mug my friend's mother just bought tons of. -Yes, Nic, I am referring to you ;]


Well, the point of today's post is mere procrastination. I got home at about 1100 this morning and boiled an egg for the first time in my life. EVER! It was a complete success, might I add. I then drank my orange juice and I've been sitting in front of this laptop since then. I guess I should probably shower and then hop to it. 'It' being my studies. Maybe I should have use them? But that wouldn't really sound right, would it?


In terms of a concluding piece of art I shall leave you with a beautiful piece by none other than  our favorite Spanish surrealist- Dali.

Salvador Dali - GRADIVA - 1931

Later chikas!
