Frustration

my pc is broke, the motherboard decided to blow a fuse and so i have had to buy a new one, along with memory and a processor in the process of determining what was wrong. damnit.
also my xbox360 decided to flash the red rings of death at me so now i have no xbox.
flaming testes!
testes, testes, one, two, three?
testicular cancer is no joke.

anyway, i havent posted on here in a while, i keep having thoughts of making a short film, but well, you need a cast and ill be damned if i can find one right now, and what exactly is classed as a young person/student? i have found a film festival occuring this june, films must be made between the 1st of jan and the 1st of march for submitting on the 20th of march. a short time frame in which to make a movie, but alas, i might be able to do it.

everyone on my course looks like they have been finding the photography thing we have been doing good fun too, (i cant afford batteries for my camera if i am to make it to uni this week due to the amount i have had to fork out in trying to fix my pc and so you wont see any photos of mine on flickr at the moment, also i forgot my username and password, now i know them again but still, besides the point [also it sounds like im making excuses, maybe i am, but my pc is more important to me and my uni work than going out in the cold after work and taking photos]), a good pointer here for framing shots that i would like to point out is to look at films, especially robert rodriguez's films as he seems to pay special attention to the framing of the shots (check sin city, once upon a time in mexico, and even the second spy kids movie) the way the main charcters stand out, or the way the background is used to frame the action that is happening. also he uses this in reverse, to draw attention away from the main character to something that may be happening in the background by framing that within the frame.

i could go onto frames here but it would be in the old web 1.0 terms and not the new web 2.0 new fangled bollocks .php and javascript based web sites. but i wont

enough for now
this is a man old before his time signing out
