“The world’s a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed.” Sean O’Casey
First update since February, this doesn’t bodes well for my little online diary…. In any case, since the last post, an awful lot has happened some great things, others not so great, but so is life.
To save some money, I decided to move out of my previous flat and into a share flat with a friend – that move alone is saving me up to 600 pounds a month, which is fantastic. But moving has a high price, that if not a monetary one, it’s a price of time. Settling in the new place took forever and there are still a lot of things to be sorted out of the piles and put on their definitive places, but for some reason this takes a lot longer than one would expect.
When I was not worrying myself about organising the flat, I spent my time listening, seeing and doing a lot of cool stuff.
This last two months I’ve been lucky to se Jezabels, Sting and L’Arc en Ciel playing live. Jezabels and L’Arc en Ciel were mind-blowing. Sting was good, not fantastic, there were a lot of the Police songs that I would have liked to listen him singing, but unfortunately, the focus was on his solo career. It was a solid gig though.
I also had plenty of opportunity to go to the theatre and managed to see “The Houdini Experience” which was a live magic performance with Hans Klok. It’s fun to see how circus brings my inner child out, as I stay there amazed at the magic tricks or faberglast with the man on the rope.
I’ve also saw Noel Coward’s ”Hay Fever”, “Bingo” starring Patrick Stewart as Shakespeare, “Happy New”, “The Duchess of Malfi” which I had to go back home and wiki to understand what I’ve seen, “The King’s speech” which is a delightful drama / comedy, “Long Journey into night” with stelar performances from all cast.
To feed my anime hunger, I’ve attended Minamicon and Kitacon, as well as cosplayed a Zombie in a tuxedo for a High School of the Dead photoshoot. All of these have been fantastic.
I’ve also attended a couple friends wedding in Sheffield, basically because I’ve never been to a wedding in here before as well as attended a NLP Training.
On the work side of things, I’ve spent a lot of time working on the website of a short film called Open about a Leukaemia survivor ( www.openshortfilm.com ) as well as spent quite some time organising our Anime convention in Cambridge ( www.thecamcon.com ).
And since last week, I’m spending a lot of time and energy to understand the world of 3D printers, as the time seems to be right to work in this field as it has so many applications and it’s such a fascinating world to be discovered!
As for goal reaching – I’ve put off a stone already, so two more to go on the dieting plan. I’m back to the gym, although not in full throttle just yet. Working on the short film website is my entry door to the world of film making, where I wish to learn as much as I can before trying to make my own film.
This is the end of the report for now.
