What a week! Okay, a quick catch up.
The residential: I was one of the long-stayers and ended up staying up til 4am, going back to my room, watching Jeremy Kyle and falling asleep never finding out who was the baby-daddy…
Then woken up at 7:45am by the moggin’ fire alarm and then again by someone knocking on my door NOT looking for me. Then the morning started off with a “Giving Feedback” workshop. The guy didn’t like me because I dared to question his statement, “There is no failure, only feedback.” I will leave it at that…
Good thing was during one of our breaks I got a phone call saying that I had won two tickets to see the Philharmonia Orchestra…cool! I may have won a BT internet radio too but I’m not so sure on that one. We’ll see.
Cut&Paste: I found this in one of the tube papers on Friday night and HAD to go. It was awesome. Battling digital designers is the equivalent of my heaven! Mog was sick so I ventured down to Brick Lane on me own. It was uber busy in town because of the rugby (go South Africa) and I ended up following people who looked like they knew where they were going. One guy was actually going to the same place. The guy I wanted to win from the start won, Tom Judd. His visual diaries are amazing! If only I had talent…
Pigeon: while I was waiting for the train at Finchley Road a met line train pulls up, the doors open and two freaked out girls were standing in the doorway when a pigeon flew out of the carriage. I actually felt really bad and just stood staring at the poor bird. It would have got on at Baker Street (at the very least) and got off at Finchley Road not knowing where the heck it was. If birds could show emotion then I could have sworn that it was scared! It was looking around like crazy seemingly trying to figure out where the heck it was. I really felt like putting it on the southbound met line train so it could go back to where it came from. (I reliase that they have good senses of direction but still!)
Radiohead: I also had a dlilemma the other week. How much should I pay to download In Rainbows? Should I be a cheapass and only paying the starting 1p (plus 45p for processing) or should I pay more? The thing is I would never usually buy or listen to Radiohead but I wanted to be a part of the revolution. So no I’m not going to say how much I paid for it…
Philharmonia Orchestra: got back from that today and it was actually pretty cool. Me and Mog ended up in box seats with a great unobstructed view. I didn’t recognise a single bit of it but it was still cool. Funny thing was everyone seemed to wait til the breaks in music to cough. Strange. Then we went and had Wagamama’s for dinner with yummy ginger cheesecake.
Maybe time for an early night…
