I haven’t posted in a while, I have been busy with loads of things lately. The thing that is stealing most of my time at the moment is setting up Westfest (an annual music festival at college). This year I am doing the lighting for it, so I have spent the last week rigging the hall with Nick - which still needs finishing at the end of this week. I should hopefully have some photos after the weekend of it as I have been roped in as the official photographer also, as well as a lighting operator all day.

As my old phone has nearly given up the ghost (the screen is messed up and my camera no longer works), I decided to buy a new phone. I went for the Samsung e900, and so far it seems great. I bought it from Cex for £58 yesterday, but I just need to wait for Orange to send me my PAC code so I can transfer over to T-mobile before I can use it.

Woo, exams are over! Me and my mate Tom went to Hanley this afternoon as he was showing me how to get to my work experience placement at Bomark Studios. After a trip to subway for some dinner and a trip to there later, we had time to kill - so we thought what the hell and went to Hanley Museum. Here are some photos of our amusing visit:

Also added some more pictures to my gallery, nothing special, but some more nevertheless.

Yesterday: Me and Laura (my girlfriend) went to Pizza Hut for dinner and then headed off to the cinema to watch Indiana Jones: the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. We decided to try the new pepperoni stuffed crust pizza and it was delish, really filling though. The film was great, better than I expected - they really went to town with it and it was faithful to the originals.

Today: We went to Alton Towers and it was great. We managed to go on more or less everything and we had a staff pass (from a friend of my step-dads) so we could get in cheaper and earlier. The weather finally picked up which made it a lot better and it was quite sunny come dinner time. Spent loads of money there (£13 for two lots of burger and chips!) but it was good nevertheless. The new pirate theming for Mutiny Bay was great, better than I expected - also the pirate show in the Courtyard was great to watch while eating dinner. Finally went on the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ride and it was actually really good, great theming and rather amusing. Saw Kane, a friend of mine that works there, so we stopped by and spoke to him for a while too and had a laugh.

All in all, the past two days have been great

Current mood: Knackered.

UPDATE: Also, I have received Call of Duty 4 and a new 58mm circular polarizer filter for my camera.

Hey everyone,

I have added three new photos to the Nature gallery, taken Friday evening while I was out walking with my girlfriend. Opinions?

UPDATE: Added even more photos - Created a new gallery, ‘The Roaches‘ and added a new photo to the Nature gallery. Also updated the album/gallery descriptions and other small tweaks.

I have also updated the Work/Projects page, and more will be added soon.

Also my first lot of exams are now over, so I have a week off to spend chilling with my girlfriend. We are going to go watch Indiana Jones 4 on Wednesday, and we are going to Alton Towers on Thursday. Should be a great week before I get back I have to do my Media Studies exams.
