I'm in Kent dog sitting for my mum at the moment. I like being surrounded by (friendly) dogs, makes for a nice atmosphere. I've managed to get a bit of writing done too which is great. Trouble is the house is quite old and large so the heating is on constantly and it makes me very drowsy. Now I'm not one to shy away from a snooze but I had two yesterday and that's surely pushing it. People say 'You snooze, you loose', well, I say 'You snooze, you win'. Admittedly the first version has the benefit of rhyming and can be backed up with a logical argument but I still stubbornly prefer my version.
I got an iphone 4S the other week. Dam good! I had the 3G before that so was due an update. Been playing around with Siri. Siri tells jokes and everything!
On Tuesday I had a read through of a play I've written. I signed a non-disclosure form so I'd better not say what it's about just yet. It was all handled very professionally. We had actors, it was filmed, we had a small audience. Seemed to go ok. I spotted loads of stuff that I'd change which hadn't occurred to me before. Like, for instance, there's too many references to 'bottoms'. Didn't know I had such a fixation with them...bit worried now.
Not heard back from any auditions which obviously means I didn't get them. Next time, dammit!
I bought a DVD of The Phil Silvers Show. It always gets great praise and is frequently listed as a top sitcom so I thought I'd best check it out. I vaguely remember it being shown on BBC2 when I was a kid and really enjoyed it. Supposed to be lots of extras on the DVD and I love all that.
I'm very keen to purchase Batman: Arkham City. It looks so amazing. I loved the first one and this one has been getting some damn good revues. That can be my treat when I make significant progress on my writing.
Here's my mate's new website. Albion Gray. He writes and makes comedy stuff too.
Anyway, hope y'all have a good week. Do send me any funny links you come across.
Speak soon!
