Film making on a budget

Well the impromptu winter blog hiatus has ended. I apologize to all those who had developed what I will politely refer to as a "dependency".

I wish I had really good story to start back up with, but I have not been keeping notes lately, and my mind has never been up to the task of remembering things. A task that a simple pencil and a piece of paper seems to have no trouble with. I'm going to try to remember some of the stuff that goes on at work, as it tends to be hilarious. Just last week I was asked to be on a panel to judge student film proposals. As part of his budget requirements, one student listed £10 for Drugs (under the props category).

I'm also in the process of deploying some new computers. The media department isallowedd to replace one third of it's computer hardware every year. This means that the students never have to use anything that's over three years old. Lucky bastard's.

Weekend wise on Saturday Shannon and I and our fellow Canadians visited the Science Museum in South Kensington. The Flight Collection has the original harrier Jump-Jet proto-type! On Sunday Shan and I went to Hyde Park as it has been really sunny outside. We emerged from the Underground right into the middle of a Muslim religious march, which was heading straight up Park Lane. One of the little kids on the march got so excited he ran straight into a police officers’ legs and bounced off.
