Allowed to sleep.

Oh hello, internet. Where have you been?!

The plan is to update this page with videos I make from now on, and links to any short stories and essays I write. But first, a brief update -

Things are getting much better now, after a period of uncertainty! I have a brilliant job, which I like a lot, at a magazine in St Albans, and not only is the pay excellent, but I also get to skip off work at 3pm, which is awesome. And furthermore, I don't have to work weekends. This is incredible. For the first time in ten years, I have a weekday job and weekends off. Yay.

So, this is giving me the ability to concentrate on making videos with some local videomakers I know and also the Potters Bar Cine and Video Society, and also work as a post-production consultant on an as-and-when basis. I should also be starting my degree in Psychology in 6 weeks, which I am looking forward to.

In short, things are pretty good.

I have lots of half-finished short stories and several versions of the first hundred pages of The Faintest Whispers book that I started writing last October, but not a lot finished off. I hope to add finished short stories and essays to this blog when they are done. The videos I make should end up here as well. There should be a Doctor Who spoof coming, but who knows with these things?!

So this is just a short update. More soon, I hope.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

I thought I would go and see this film today, after only watching an hour or so of the original around six months ago. I'm a bit slow to see new films at the moment, but this film is an appropriate one for me to watch this week after seeing Monkey Theory in action for the past seven days. More about that soon, I think.

This film might just make it into my Blu-Ray collection. While this isn't a film for everyone, I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. The action is stunning and the story just about makes sense if you excuse a few moments of clunkiness throughout.

This is not a review. I'm too tired for that. I just wanted to say "Hey, World, I've been to see this film." Chufty badges should be sent to the usual address. Thank you.
