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.
Some photos of the visit can be seen in the rest of this article.
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 finally got my Canon 300D
(Digital Rebel) dSLR camera today, and woo, it is ace! I am only just starting to get into professional photography, and hopefully this camera will help me get a good start. I have taken a few test photos and the quality is superb, hopefully there should be some good photos from me in the not so distant future.
And this camera was given to me as a gift from college for doing some filming/editing work for them a few weeks ago. I really didn’t expect anything like this, and it is muchly appreciated.
Hey,
Here is my AS Media Studies coursework film that me and a few others finished a few months ago. Filming, editing and special effects by me, directed by Kane Baguley, lighting by Nick Vaughan, sound and additional help by Elliot Evans. Starring Marcus Krähenbühl. The name ‘Schizein Phen’ comes from the Greek name for Schizophrenia. The brief of the project was to create the opening sequence of a thriller movie. Video below:
One of my dogs, Ted, has recently been rather ill and we took him to the vets yesterday. We then found out that he had a twisted intestine and it is going to cost over £1000 to fix, and with not guarantee that he will pull though. But, a nurse there said she will pay for the operation if she can have him afterwards, so we have had to let him go to her. =( I feel sorry for my other dog, she is going to be all alone now, and she doesn’t know what is going on.
On a slightly lighter note, there may be a chance in the not-so-far future that I will be getting some better hosting, so hopefully the site should be a lot faster at loading.
UPDATE: Ted’s heart stopped on the operating table and has passed away =( It’s such a horrible day, he was an amazing dog and he will be missed.
