jedi squirrels


this might need a (C) to lucas arts/starwars though


lightsabre fighting squirrels?

i dont normally look at the sun unless theres a pair of reasons that look good but this did make me chuckle...

and i think i saw jim carver from the bill the other day at uni walking his daughter around the campus and charlie higson of the fast show (swiss tony) walking through bath town centre. may bit a bit 'heat' of me here but they are what i consider celebrities not twats like callum best! who wants to know what some alcy footballers (now dont get me wrong here, besty was good in his day but an alcy) son has been upto over the weekend and who he has been shagging. who gives a fuck really? id rather hear about charlie higson getting a parking ticket or adam buxton releasing a new video online! THE RAT CONTROL THE COOK!

A Dress For All Seasons

well, i have finished the fashion video and have it set up on a projector at Sion Hill ready for the Bath School of Art and Design MA students marking (which should have happened last night) and for the private and public viewings starting next wednsday.

after a summer of the odd week where i would get to follow some models around as they walked through gardens and did as i told them the video came to fruition. i think i did four or five edits before Jan Knibbs was happy with the short film.

it shows the models wearing some dresses that she designed like the summer dress

or the winter dress


if you get a chance to go along to the show during the open viewing session they start at 10am and run till 5pm from thursday 1 to saturday 4 oct and on sunday 5 oct it runs from 10am-pm.
get along and look at some of the ideas that may well be in our everyday lives soon, like a compact full size stand up dyson ball.

ill post the videos on youtube next week so if you cant wait get to the show and view the video and all the MA students hard work.

Sublime 2

well i think its kind of mind game bollocks!
fin

Sublime or something else?

just watching derren browns control the nation. i cant explain whats happening to those who may have been affected by the video but i wasnt glued to my seat. i went into this open minded and watched it with my partner. neither of us were stuck. obviously through out the show the trick of saying you will be stuck has stuck in some peoples head. it is just before he takes his first caller and ill update again soon.
intriguing television though

nearly new is nigh? or getting back to uni, the time is coming

ITS early, i have some kind of stomach bug that makes me feel like im being sodomised by a red hot needle every hour or so and uni time is nearly upon us again.
how-bloody-ever my camera has decided to be a bit gay whilst capturing som footage for this fashion vid the other day and i cannot find a half hours worth of footage that the computer says it has captured and wont capture again for some reason. damn the way i end up having to do things. new camera time me thinks. i recokon a good old, reliable sony vx 2000. sod all this high def malarky unless your able to properly make somehting look amazing. by the time everyone gets round to high def, well we all know there will some new tech sitting on the side lines waiting to pick over the remains of HD!

so here i am with a weekend of editing infront of me and i need to spend ages finding each clip and re-capturing and re-logging it, oh the joy.

so anyway, been watching much tv recently? i have and i have been enjoying CSI, i know maybe im a bit late in getting into this but the wire is on so late and well, i dismissed CSI as another US flashy detective show with too big a budget and too little substance to keep me entertained. how i was wrong. however i can go onto BONES now which is exactly the opposite. Kathy Reichs books made into a TV series? when i read that i though wicked. when i watched i was sick, sick with disgust that a tv show like that could be released. it has that guy from buffy in, the one who was a bad vampire then a good one then an angel (or an angle, i cant remember which he turned out to be) and some bird who whilst not being ugly sure isnt pretty and far too young to play temprance brennan (sorry, i enjoy the books and thought the show could really be good) and cannot pull off the socially inept, self consumed brennan at all in my opinion.

so yeah. whilst we are on US imports what about K-Ville? i didnt catch much of it and i couldnt tell what the fuck was going on and when it was set (exactly after katrina, a while after, an alterative universe where katrina didnt hit new orleans a nuclear bomb did?) but i think i will be tuning in again at some point to catch up with and see where it is heading.

anyway im getting imprints in my legs from the lap top and the heat is making my nutsack an unpleasant place to be, why cant they put more efficient fans and colling systems on a lap top? why cant i just open it and clean it and re-lube the fan and preform general maintenance on the bloody thing with out voiding my warrenty?!?!?!?!
oh no going grumpy
peace out
