Don't Stop - Never Give Up

Busy, busy, busy. This is only to be expected with GCSEs so close - well, over a month away. Some of the examinations have started already...Drama, Lighting, PE and other such shit. Oh yeah, French.

It's the most important few months of our lives - apparently. You'd better believe it. I've been working so hard with my IT work, getting all four problems in on time this week that everything else has slipped, a little.

We've had some interesting Digital Impulse stuff recently. Firstly, we've been chosen to take the photographs for the 2010 Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Rutland Army Cadet Force's big parade in June this year. Very pleased, but it's the Sunday before a mad week of exams, so we're having to draft in a few BYPA photographers as not all the DI team are happy to do it.

In other news, we had a really lovely evening shooting a very nice lady's birthday party in Thurlaston on Saturday. Joseph and his camera went with Kenneth and had a great night of magic, music and mutual flashing. Not in that sense, though.



Also, my Leicester College interview went really well. I walked into the control box - which to be honest, is not a lot bigger than that at Thomas Estley - saw the Frog and about died. A beauty of a lx desk, and I'm looking forward to learning how to use it. I met a nice guy called Aiden, who's the lx tech at the Concordia, got a feeling he'll be creeping into lots of blogs from September onwards.

Leicester now has links with the old Phoenix theatre, now called Upper Brown Street. We'll be supporting professional productions there as well as working on student stuff at Abbey Park.

A chapter of my life that I'm now penning, and am looking forward to flicking through every page...

Behind The Curtain, In The Pantomime...

It's opening night. Well, it's still the morning but that's not the point...

And in true form, let's have a complaint. I'M ILL!! Woke up with a blocked nose, a horrid cough and the return of my ear problem. My feet are sore from my trek with Daisy the other day. I'm tired, as me and Taz stayed as late as possible to plot LX.

But it's opening night - I'm nervous, anxious, and incredibly excited.

But this also means it's the last Thursday of the Easter break, which has flown by. I've hardly done anything, although I did get some photographs of Hannah that are lovely...
And it's also nice to see I'm getting a bit of interest on Flickr....reeesult!

Made contact with the Emerald Isle this morning, chatting to Greg about various odd Volkswagen events that are kicking off this summer. Hopefully going to Bug Jam, in July, and Greg's chatting about a VW tour around Ireland, called Eireball - looks very amusing.

So, I suppose things aren't so bad, really. I shall of course let you know how the show goes...
