Been a while.

Ok I know it's been like a week... or two... or more... since I last posted but as you can tell by the posts from then I was getting pretty busy. On the plus side Uni is almost done! One my assignment, my final script, then it's time for holidays, and recreational scripts :D, such as my friend Claudia's script as she has demanded her own short story for Christmas.

More amazing news! Me and my Mum brought my NEW DSLR CAMERA on the weekend! It is amazing! and considering what camera it is, we got it for really cheap, AND it came with a WHOLE bunch of extras. Such as happy feeling. Just got to wait until my Birthday... and maybe even Christmas... until I get it... because although I'm paying for it mostly, mum is putting some towards it for a present. Which I've gotta say is an amazing present! I would also like to add that it is the one BETH RIESGRAF suggested, because really, a photographer like that says this camera is good, then the camera is gonna be good.

I would also like to say that I did surprisingly good in my tests and assignments, considering I had NO time and was totally stressing about it all. So it's been a really good week. Except for my sister anyway. But she is moody at the moment with exams and all coming up.

So all and all I'm very happy. But still busy with work, every single day... although work isn't that bad, just wishing for some more time off and all. I just figured I would post something today while I had a few seconds, until I get a bit freer to actually start posting again... So people enjoy holidays and whatever anyone is doing at the moment and until next time keep hoping that Olivia finds a way to cross back over (was I the only one sitting there cheering for her to just stay when she crossed for those few seconds, and Ella on the phone...ohhh).

Christian Kane.

Two Hours. After weeks of staring at a blank page it was the night before it was due and synching my Ipod I decided to play some good ol' Christian Kane, only to suddenly focus and knock my essay out in just two hours. Maybe I was wrong to never like country music because it seems to be calming? Or maybe it's just him that's awesam... you never know. The only issue is I still have the Friday test and investigative journalism story left...but I'm feeling a bit better today after getting a good grade on a test I was sure I had flunked (after not attending any classes, reading any notes, or even remotely studying). So maybe that gives me a little hope that my 'special talent' of little work= good grades is still slightly intact. DO NOT take this to mean I'm changing my advice about the last day cram being bad! Still is. Always will be.

Once I finish these two assessments though it's time to write the pilot script for screenwriting (as well as one more assignment, but thats not due until next week so I've got the time). Maybe I will post segments online...maybe I won't.

More happy news. I shall be replacing my fishy's on the weekend (the ones that my sister unintentionally feed to my turtle (yeah sure family place the fish in the turtle tank, we're all vegetarians here, not!)). So far I've picked Sharker for the name of the best looking fish I can find (as all Leverage fans know Sharker brands people with a rod that stays hot because of her core temperature...haha classic Beth Riesgraf). I'm asking friends for suggestions. So far there's naming the others Hardison, Nate, and Eliot to see which Sharker choses but I don't think I'm going to do that, purely because any paring between the pair would be upsetting.

*SPOILERS Fringe*
Today I would like to point out to the fringe creators just how much the season 2 episode 'Jacksonville' makes me want to cry. I mean we're on the edge of our seats for Olivia and Peter to finally get that allusive kiss only to have the (very obvious) revelation of Peter being from the other side (which was so badly hinted at it surprised no one, which isn't necessarily a bad thing) which of course Olivia promises Walter not to tell Peter leaving her feeling like crud and nothing to happen between the two! And as we all know when something finally happens it's not even 'our' Olivia... Flashbacks to Alias anyone??

Focus.

I have just finished work and should now really be working on my assignment which is actually due tomorrow and which I have barely started but for some reason I really REALLY can't. Normally I'd have a reason like Fringe or Leverage but the thing is I'm pretty much up to date on my television at the moment so really it's just me. Haven't you ever just been in a mood where you feel like everything you write sucks? Well I'm pretty sure I'm in that mood right now. Honestly I haven't been doing great at university this semester...actually I've been doing bad. I've pushed my usual deadline tendencies to the absolute limit and I'm going very close to failing but most of me doesn't care. Really I'm not learning much that will go towards my future. The only thing that really will is watching the television, studying the shows and eventually moving to America.

Something did give me hope today: Anna Torv. Like me she grew up in the Gold Coast Hinterland and look where she is now! But it really just proves that to be anything it's gotta be America..which kinda sucks for people not from there.

Anyway I should put my head down and start writing because if I don't do this assignment now (ignoring the fail) I won't be able to focus on my script when that comes to be due... but until tomorrow keep in mind that you should always focus and if you ever see yourself getting into the horrible habit of the adrenaline rush causing last day study then snap out of it! There is nothing good down that road! Trust me. I wish I could study everyday all day like my sister but I've been like this since Primary School. I guess BAD habits are just too hard to break.


*SPOILERS (fringe)*
Oh and Fringe: please send Olivia back! It's bad enough that Boliva (Altivia, whatever) and Peter slept together but we need Olivia to return! Miss her and Walter's banter (you can tell he knows something just by the way he always looks at Bolivia now).

Black.

For my first post I would like to mention something I heard last night. I've heard it before but every time it always makes me think.

The colour black is an oxymoron because the definition of black is a lack of colour.


Just a thought that I find really interesting. How we change everything to suit our own means and words but when it comes down to it... it rarely means what we think it does.

I am an avid television show watcher. To the point of obsession. But that's OK because I classify it as necessary because I WILL eventually write my own television show using the knowledge from the various shows I watch.

Leverage. Fringe. Buffy. Angel. Firefly. Dollhouse. Bones. Veronica Mars. Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles. Charmed. One Tree Hill. Alias. Dawson's Creek. McLeod's Daughters. Big Bang Theory. Blue Heelers. Castle. Dark Angel. Friday Night Lights. Gilmore Girls. Heroes. I love Lucy. Private Practice. Grey's Anatomy. Rizzoli & Isles.

Are just the shows I'm currently watching. I love suggestions on any others though? And there are many more I've forgotten.
