Just finished reading the sequel to the Hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy, thank god I’ve got part 3 right next to me. I love this series, thing is I’ll probably finish the final three books in like a few weeks, then what? These characters are brilliant, and it seems like such a shame that they’ll never be used ever again, I suppose since I’ve not seen the tv series or heard the radio show or even read the comic (yeah I know sometimes I surprise even myself) that I’ve got those to look forward to. Still I think it would make a brilliantly funny Sci-fi movie, something like Galaxy Quest, just completely brilliant, or as my box says, Almost Brilliant. It’s funny if you’ve read the first 100 pages of the first book, and since it’s a pretty damn thin book 200 pages a book, you might as well read the rest, then you’re hooked.
I’ve got some brilliant looking effects to start hammering out on the site sometime this week, it just takes hours and right now I’m pretty busy with my secondment as I’ve got to commute like 2 hours a day which is a major pain in the ass.
Oh yeah download Clint Martell’s brilliant soundtrack for Reqiuem for a Dream, the main tune is soo good Peter Jackson (of LOTR fame) had the man Re-gig the song and it’s the second part of the Two Towers trailer, truly brilliant stuff, in the same vein as Craig Armstrong.

Truth be told I’ve been thinking about the new site all day and how to implement a few things that I really wanted to do with it. I’m glad I worked out frames earlier today so I’ll hopefully be incorporating some clever little flash bits and pieces pretty soon, once I get some more artwork done…which reminds me that I have to write some more of my script before it’s February and I’m nowhere to the finish line. Hmmm, early starts.
Also I’ll be posting my thoughts about 2003 in review pretty soon. It’ll be a monster I promise so please bear this in mind when reading it.
Woke up this morning without much of a plan. Usually my sundays are filled with something to do. Today however I wanted a small break from the constant thought that I’ve engulfed myself into the past 2 weeks. This is all due to my book. I have a new found appreciation for well written stories in whatever form they may come. It’s really hard work getting a 150 page graphic novel written. Am I close to the mark? No way. I’ve gotten 40 pages done. 2 weeks 40 pages. This I might add is the third draft. Oh yeas, I’ve got another 2 drafts one which reached a total of 55 pages written and I just scrapped it there and then. Didn’t think twice although had an unbelievable weekend trying to not call myself a complete and utter failure.
The work however will speak for itself, as the story I’ve got now is a lot tighter. What makes me wonder is that I know for a fact that the story will twist and change and evolve into something much more in the weeks to come. It will be better the more I think about it the more I analyse it. So I’m not too upset about the fact that I didn’t meet my deadline. I always blow deadlines anyway.
My next headache came in the form of my discared website that’s been sitting there doing nothing for a while now. Ive been pretty bad for it the last couple of months, but hopefully that should all change in the coming weeks.
I must say I’m pretty proud of how quickly I was able to whip this site together, hell I only thought about sorting out a blog earlier this morning, a true testament to the greatness that is blogger.
When I woke up this morning I didn’t have a blog. Now I do. It’s going to change a great deal in the days to come as I’ve only started scratching the surface of this thing, but here’s hoping it’s a fun experience.
The freqency with which I handle this is all dependant on a few things. Currently I’ve been writing my story and the cogs have been set in motion that will hopefully get it published later on this year. For those that know me, understand what this means to me, I suppose it’s also clear now why I had to learn web design since this is going to be a predominantly web based promotional effort.
Welcome to the start of my dreams becoming a reality. Welcome to my first year actively trying to get published.
