Major Problemo 2

Ok.

So after chatting to Charlie and finding out he's suffering from 'personal problems' I feel a bit bad for having a go, but now after hours of arduous matting and masking I have finally finished the cut of my major. Problem is at the sound grade earlier today, it transpired that my soundman, James doesn't really no how to use the sound desk. Eventually, between us, we were able to work it out, but as we went back through the beginning, to fix the section edited when we were getting to grips, the sound board short circuited! Brilliant.

Looks like a poor man's sound mix on FCP tomorrow morning for me then...

Major Problemo

He's only gone and left me up bloody piss creek!

Charlie has gone AWOL and left me with a bunch of half-arsed, half-done clips. With my deadline just over a week away this isn't what I need, especially with the diss in for the day after. Everything was going so smoothly, all that needed to be done was re-key a few clips and then we would be done but oh no! Charlie had run out of money, go home, send me some shoddy work and then stop answering his phone. I do not need this right now...

Will update shortly...

Ode to Ovaltine

Oh warm malty cup of chocolate mirth,
How I have longed for you for hours gone by,
As I sit in front of my computer screen,
My eyes square with every movement of the clock's elongated hand,
One sip is all I need to be transported,
Away from cold empty shared accommodation,
To memories of my grandmother now inhabiting distant lands,
And sitting in front of the fire on cold winter nights,
Alas the warmth is short lived,
So with my last sip I slip,
Into this cold April evening,
Alone once more.
