New Plan, Plan B, C.. D.. where are we now?

New plan. There's no bloody way we're moving to London without jobs. That won't work. However, in theory we could stay in SW at the jobs we have part time, pick up a few more and continue with MiKat Productions until this shitty recession starts moving and there might perchance be some more 'career' jobs going. No one needs runners at the moment apparently. So, I've decided to chill-the-crap out and stop worrying. Everyone else I know is going off travelling, picking up other courses or when asked replies a simple 'ugh, dunno really.' Why should I be the only one having sleepless nights over a potential lost career move?

I shall remain happy and poor and maybe by being happy and poor eventually someone will realise I'm a nice hardworking person who isn't kicking up a fuss and want me to work for them. Maybe. Meanwhile, M and I have been half heartedly looking at houses in Bristol. We can get a 2 bedroom HOUSE for less than we're paying for the flat. Mental. Plus we could really do with an extra room if we're going to seriously look at freelancing to live on.

Some very nice news, over the Easter weekend M went home and spoke with his Dad, whom M is carrying out his legacy of sound editing. David told him that as he is planning to retire, he would happily send HALF his work to M in Bristol. For monies. David has been working all his life as a sound editor and has a heap of clients, recently his latest work includes Stevie Wonder's live DVD, The Killers and Girls Aloud. (Who can't sing, but we knew that.) Good eh?

Oh, and I have an 'informal interview' tomorrow with Suited and Booted for some runner work over 10 days next month. They're a community based production company in Bath currently working on an NHS Stop Smoking campaign. Not quite sure how I would fit it in with all this uni work but let's worry about that if it comes to it.


Things are picking up, we did the micro-biology film with Iain Haysom last week, nice and smoothly it went too. Will log hopefully tomorrow if I can get into the lab... got a commission with a guy to film the 'Bristol Festival of Ideas' Literary Prize (http://www.ideasfestival.co.uk/?p=276) Me and a camera plus a free supper! Nice.

All is well at the moment, only a few weeks left to cram all my uni work in, and horrifically it feels suspiciously like I've burnt myself out... 3 years of hard slogging and my final push just won't come. I know I need to get down and write, I know I could do really well, but things just keep cropping up and procrastination has turned into denial. It's horrible, I need to escape. Maybe I'll just take my laptop somewhere where I can't do anything but write, no food, no tea, no filmaking, no editing, no nothing.
