Cerebral Scramble

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:30:48 GMT

So are any of you people out there on twitter? It's strangely addictive. I don't know why anyone feels the urge to share silly things with the world but i caught the bug a while ago and it won't go away. Anyway i've decided i'm gonna try and do a lyrical tweet a day, some lyric that fits the particular day, be it something i've seen, how i'm feeling or just something i've listened to that makes me want to annoy the world with it. So http://twitter.com/Kat_J

For now we're happy if not overjoyed.

Looking for jobs sucks, especially when you have no idea what kind of job you want and are beginning to think you've wasted a year and a half of your life and 4 grand only to find out you don't really want to do that anyway! Wow that was a long and grammatically horrible sentence.

I've been in the edit suit all day today and for some reason it annoyed me though I've totally been singing avenue q since about noon. 4 years of college and plenty of knowledge has earned me this useless degree! So now i'm listening to the soundtrack and browsing for jobs that don't exist or suck.

Hmm i think i should stop and try to do something to cheer myself up or have some food, i'm hungry!

Except for death and paying taxes everything in life is only for now!

I love Wales

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 09:02:32 GMT

Me and Barry C (or Jez), are going down to Connahs Quay, cause apparently a telecaster's all you need!

I'm 31 years old, that ain't the end but it sure ain't where i began...

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 14:41:53 GMT

LJ's being stupid and rich text isn't working, so now i have to type my whole post again. I don't remember what i said, i've just cleared out 2 sections of my wardrobe and a set of drawers and i'm knacked. My whole room needs sorting, i need to get rid of some furniture as i feel like i'm being suffocated by an over abundance of beige. It may take me a while, oh well.

I should be film planning but alas i've been distracted once again by other activities. At least i have a shoot date now, or i hope i do. I really don't want to have to change it again.

Oh i'm gonna go on a road trip next week, me and Jez are just gonna through some stuff in the car and head off. I think we'll hit Whitby first, say hi to Dracula and then just see where the wind takes us, maybe Cardiff (i've been watching a lot of Torchwood recently).

I don't remember what else i wrote the first time a wrote this out (stupid LJ) so i guess this'll have to do, I think i'll go and watch A Town Called Eureka and then do some shooting schedules...

Blah Blah Blah

I'm having serious motivational issues, i think i have too much time on my hands. I'm trying to make my grad film but it would seem that my get up and go, got up and went. Plus i really need top find actors and i can't, i think i've got the female part covered but can't find men (ha, the story of my life). Also i was planning on holding auditions at one of the studios at uni but they've decided to rennovate them - not very helpful.

Ok i'm done moaning now.

It's a day late but Happy Birthday summersdream

I hope you had a good one!

I've heard a rant like this before...

Fri, 22 May 2009 17:43:10 GMT

I guess I only really post here when I need to rant, so I apologise to the 3 people that may actually read this, I am happy on occasion. I promise.
Sometimes its just time to vent all of my frustration and doing it here saves me from taking a sharpie pen, breaking off the fun coloured bit and ramming the jagged end into some unsuspecting person's eye. Uni work is stressing me out, I think we're on a break from the fun stuff and from the stuff that actually related to the course. Have they considered that if on enrolment day I'd wanted to take a masters in marketing I would have filled in those forms and not the film ones. I couldn't give a hooping funt about PEST and SWOT analysis or about micro and macro - environments and to be perfectly honest with the way it's pissing me off, I also couldn't care if I never pick a camera up ever again. The thing is, it's not just the fact I resent having to write epic marketing plans for imaginary projects, it's the fact that they expect us to complete the project and give a presentation by next week and we've only have 3 classes on the subject. It's not like we've all got business degrees, film tends to attract people with arty farty backgrounds.
Now I know there are more important things going on in the world and it's hardly a life or death situation but I was sitting at the computer getting angry about it, I needed an outlet and as jeze_belle 's told me that I'm not allowed to punch any more walls, this was my only option.

I wish I had money for Jack Daniels.

Or an in built gift for writing marketing plans.

SUCKS!!!!!!

STUPID STUPID STUPID

Thu, 07 May 2009 09:47:48 GMT

Ok so i'm stuck in a tutorial with no tutor. I got up early and drove for 40 mins to find out he has man flu (not pig). Oh well a day off you say - WRONG! We have to sit here and watch video tutorials of boring boring talking. Tutorials that i'm sure would be helpful if they were just there to look at in case of forgotten info but are not so useful to learn new stuff. Also the flash on my computer doesn't work so i can only watch and listen. I'm not watching, i'm just listening and hoping to learn by osmosis.

listening to "San Diego Serenade - Tom Waits" on Blip

Wed, 06 May 2009 10:16:52 GMT

I didn't know this was a Tom Waits Song. Until now that is.

Tue, 05 May 2009 15:19:20 GMT

Ok i've joined blip - it's strange but looks like fun. Is anyone else on it?

listening to "let it ride - Ryan Adams" on Blip

Tue, 05 May 2009 15:15:06 GMT

I have no idea what i'm doing but i do love this song!

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 17:07:27 GMT

I've just booked tickets for Wolverine in 4 hours! Oh yeah! It doesn't come out till tomorrow so i'm loving that. I did however also just get a phone call from a friends and about 10 of my mates are going tomorrow am i in too but i shall have seen it before them - ha ha ha. Shame to miss a big cinema gathering though so i might go twice!

I've just finished putting together the draft for my short film, i actually finished my project and i'm nearly done on my essay so things are looking quite good. I do have a 40 min screenplay to read and break down though but ho hum. WOLVERINE!!!!!

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 16:43:32 GMT

It was time for a new look and what to do when you've got a project due in a few days that you've hardly started? That's right rearrange your LJ!

I get distracted far too easily, i was full of good intentions, i say down and prepared all my stuff, i even started writing up some of the project but i've sat on the computer for about an hour without the damn thing changing at all. It's just so boring and frankly i don't care. I'm sure i'll start caring come Thursday when i haven't progressed at all but right now - nothing!

Hmm food!

Thu, 26 Mar 2009 17:43:13 GMT

I have no idea what's going on with the weather - it's sunny then it rains, it's hot then it's cold, it's yes then it's no...wait that's Katy Perry. It's crazy - this morning it looked quite sunny then the skies opened and it started peeing it down and 5 mins later it was sunny again and this continued for the whole day. Nuts i tell you!

I need more friends on Twitter, it appears that no one i know is on it (well 3 people are), tweeting is fun, more people should do it.

I'm Cold!

Are you on crack?

Fri, 13 Mar 2009 10:58:15 GMT

So more crack fueled conversations with jeze_belle

J: Two things. One - an older but still attractive dark haired guy in a checked shirt just drove past me in a green pick up truck - i wonder if he owns a diner. Two - the tips of all my fingers are red. I actually got a bit heavy handed with the food colouring last night, but it looks like i murdered someone.

L: I think i might make red things too - it sounds like fun.

J: Wear gloves - red food colouring is the Devil's confectionery altering agent.

L: I will be sure to protect myself from Devil tinting.

J: Wise girl. Clutch your crucifix and ward off cake related monsters!

L: It's OK I've showered in holy water - that should keep me good for a while.

J: Oh, like the chick in the Meatloaf video. Excellent!

So i think as this is a relatively normal conversation between us it is just more proof that we're both heading towards the certifiably insane marker a little too quickly. Also see this post.

I'm going to make red velvet cupcakes now.

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 13:56:53 GMT

I'm in a funk today, i'm sick of everything and would like to just curl up in a ball somewhere. I still can't get the internet to work properly on my computer and i still can't get avid to import anything. I am listening to Patty Griffin do Bruce Springsteen's Stolen Car though which is pretty cool. Oh and I got Dave Matthews tickets for June which is fab.

It really is getting to the point with Avid where i just want to scream "i only want to watch the Brazillian grand prix which bloody button is it?" over and over again though.

Plus everytime i take my portable harddrive to uni i appear to get trojan on it and it's really starting to piss me off. Luckily my computer recognises it when i try to plug my harddrive in but it doesn't stop the heartattack it gives me.

To Talk Without Thinking is to Shoot Without Aiming.

Sat, 07 Mar 2009 18:12:05 GMT

So i was just thinking that it has been so long since i've been on the old LJ i'd better log in. I do and it tells me i last logged in 13 weeks ago. 13 Weeks! That's like a whole lifetime. Ok slight exaggeration there but it's been a while anyway. I'm not sure i have any friends anymore. :(

I'm sick of facebook and i'm sick of Avid. Avid is a stupid stupid programme that never works and when it does work it never lets me do anything. in fact i just hate computers and HD. HD is the future, apparently. No! No it's not, it sucks, it makes things more complicated than they need to be and it's only purpose is to annoy me. I've been sat at my computer since 12 o'clock (it's now 6) just trying to do little things and it won't let me, the internet connection goes or the sound won't work or "cannot input the file the file is not compatible". Yes, yes it is! It's the same format as the file you just imported you stupid stupid programme! Then there's the files it will import, small files that taken 3 hours to complete the import. The computer waS BUILT TO (AH ACCIDENTAL CAPS LOCK) the specifications of your stupid programme you stupid Avid people!

And - And - the whole world is dependant on facebook, including me and i'm sick of it. You can't turn on the tv or read a paper without hearing something about the stupid sight and it's very name is starting to make my blood boil!

It has to be pointed out that i do know more words to describe my current feelings towards both Avid and Facebook but i feel that repeating the same one over and over again helps me vent.

I think my venting may be over, i fell slightly better now. I didn't intend to rant on in this post, it was only going to be a 'wow i haven't been around for a while' but it turns out that once i opened the avid can there were suddenly worms everywhere. If i do still have any friends that are reading this - apologies.

Anyway I think I have to make a dreaded Saturday trip to tesco as there is absolutely no food in my house, hmm I might buy some wine.

Ice, Ice everywhere and not a drop to Drink.

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 21:45:22 GMT

I crashed my car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate ice, it's stooooopid!!!!! Not only did i crash, i crashed into a month old Mercedes!!!!!!!!! I am abusing the exclamation mark but i think i have just cause. Luckily there isn't much damage to the merc - just a few scratches. I wasn't exactly going fast - i was in a traffic jam but it's still annoying and stupid. So i decided to distract myself with a music thing that

Mad M A D mad. Cat C A T cat!

Thu, 25 Sep 2008 10:16:49 GMT

So i've been meaning to post this for a few weeks but jeze_belle beat me to it and just to confirm just how mad we both are i also decided to put in in my journal. This all occurred while watching the first episode of Lost in Austen.

</a></b></a>lily_st_regis - Also, I’ve looked behind my bath and there’s no door. Now I feel jipped, I want to be Lost In Austen.

</a></b></a>jeze_belle - I know, how much fun would that be? You could go drinking with the servants, dance with the officers, flirt with Bingley and end up with Darcy. All whilst wearing fabulous dresses and having perfect hair. It’d be awesome.

L: Have you checked your bathtub?

J: Yes, and I can’t even get as far as 1978, it’s very depressing.

L: Oh wait, I haven’t checked my wardrobe…. Nah, nothing in there but some snow, a lamppost and a creepy goat in a scarf.

J: Ah, now about that goat in a scarf. If you give him slick indie kid hair, will he suddenly be dramatically attractive?

L: It’s possible he would, hold on, I’ll go and check…. Hmm, he’s gone, and there’s no snow, but there are some people who look like they got lost on the way to Stonehenge on Solstice, singing ‘Ding dong, the witch is dead.’

J: Has it been very windy at your house?

L: Not that I noticed but I fell down and hit my head on the way back from seeing some fortune teller, and when I woke up it looked more colourful than before, and I can’t find my Auntie Em.

J: Well, if any dodgy green women in overly stripy socks come after you, just set your small yappy type dog on them.

L: Oh, I’ve met her already, she’s very nice, she’s just misunderstood. She lent me her socks and is teaching me about the animal rights movement – they could speak, you know?

J: Really? Well, that’s nice. Just be careful she doesn’t steal your boyfriend and turn him into some form of garden ornament. And look out for monkeys.

L: The monkeys have been most violently abused by a creepy guy who hides behind curtains.

J: The guy behind the curtain? I think I’ve met him. Don’t you think he looks a bit like that fortune teller you saw?

L: Come to think of it, there is a resemblance. Hmm, there may be something hinky going on here. There’s a lion who looks awfully like our gardener.

J: Look, you’ll be fine. Just don’t drink anything green, and if you find some red shoes, hang on to them. Failing that, catch the next hot air balloon home.

L: Red shoes, you say? Now that’s horse of a different colour.

I can steal a melody of this I am allowed...

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 15:49:39 GMT

Who can help me out???

I want music suggestions - good music - new music - music i might not have heard of.

I don't really mind what kind, i like most types, well i'm not overly fond of dance/house/lots of dush dush dush noises, but i wouldn't totally rule out the whole genre.

I'm looking to expand my collection and want help.

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 20:52:06 GMT

Have you ever noticed that silence can actually be deafening. There's something wrong with the sound system on my computer and quite frankly it's doing my nut in. I've no clue what is wrong with it and so no clue how to fix it and the lack of noise that's coming from it is setting my nerves on edge!

I don't know if i've mentioned this before but...

I hate vista
