Decent Stuff.

Yesterday was a nice day. I saw someone who I hadn’t seen in a while… Leona!

I hadn’t seen her properly in ages. We ended up going to her mum’s so I could try and fix her PC. It turns out that the power supply had gone and I don’t normally carry one around with me.

After that we went for the traditional visit to Tesco where Leona bought some decent stuff for once!

A good night. It ended with the finale of ‘Independence Day’ oh yeah!

Today I went over to Mr Lamb’s. I set up his XBOX360 to work in High Definition which now looks superb, naturally. Later on Laura came over to see her friends; Rayman and Crash Bandicoot, who else?

All Knight Long.

Monday was a meeting day at Uni. I’m trying to sort out a filming of one of Trivium’s gigs on their up and coming UK/European tour, their Bradford date to be precise. Anyway, the budgetary meeting went fine and now we play the waiting game.

I also bumped into Imran and Carmel who then invited me for lunch, which was rather nice of them. We had a Chinese buffet in Bradford, which was nice.

Tuesday, well Laura came round and became instantaneously addicted once again to ‘Rayman’, ‘Crash Bandicoot’ and exceedingly scared of the Wolves on ‘Tomb Raider’ awww. Anyway, a bit later on Jamie came round and we just hung out which was cool.

Jamie and I also came up with this humorous play on words (which Laura finally got and loved):

Yesterday, that’d be Wednesday. Well, I intended to start editing the documentary, ‘Broadband Lives’ but the edit suites aren’t fully working yet, which is pretty much a joke. As I got back into the car to go home Laura called and I ended up going to her’s for a bit. Charlotte also appeared a few hours later and I did some sketches for her – I’ll add ‘artist’ to my CV later.

I mainly went round to the Newey’s to help Laura with her media brief. However, she was more interested in MySpace so that didn’t happen. Both Charlotte and Laura are addicted now (to MySpace), and Charlotte doesn’t even have an account!!!

Later in the evening I called up to IKEA to purchase some lovely Kopperberg Pear Cider. Whilst there I was called into the IFS Office – the glorious new label printer had arrived! It should now only take an hour to tray up Bacon rather than one hour and fifteen minutes!

I then picked up Jamie and we came back to mine and watched ‘Independence Day’ – such a good film. ‘Let’s Nuke the Bastards!’ – The President.

And today. Well today I’ve got to hand in my essay. I’ve already handed it in online (which is the one that matters) but for reference purposes the University wants a physical copy too.

All Knight Long,
Charlie.

Mission

On Thursday Jamie, Chris, Laura, Becki, Amanda and I went to the Musical pub quiz at the ‘Shoulder of Mutton’ in Gomersal. It wasn’t too bad. Some of the questions were pretty hard. Laura was actually pretty good at it – she must have been revising.

After the quiz we taxi’d it down to the Frontier which was, once again rather dead. It was a Thursday night though. Anyway, after a few hours in there we were asked to leave – because it was closing time. Anyway, the rest of the crew had planned to go to ‘Mission’ in Leeds. I didn’t want to as I was filming the next day (Friday). However, when it got to Birstall everyone decided they didn’t want to go to Leeds either so they all got out.

Jamie, Chris and I then proceeded to walk Laura and Amanda back home. Bearing in mind they chose the longest way to walk home ever. They might have well have gone via London.

Overall everyone got home and that was that. Good night though, rather funny.

Yesterday was another filming day for the documentary. After being dropped off in Bradford I went and met up with all the team members to go collect the kit. We were filming a girl called Jemma from the University. She seemed really clever and was studying cybernetics I believe which is rather interesting. To cut a long story short she came out with some really good stuff which should be beneficial to the film.

On the way back from Bradford on the bus I stopped off at Laura to get the latest Newey News, there wasn’t that much.

Later on in the evening Jamie and Imran came over. We also had a special guest appearance from Miss Leona Wilson who I hadn’t seen in a while. We mainly watched ‘South Park’ – the amazing World of Warcraft episode to be precise; Jamie, Imran and Leona hadn’t seen it.

Another pretty good night.

Well, work today. The other Newey is coming round in a bit. Charlotte. Something about some Photoshop tips. Who knows?
