Ok so I havent really been doing my blog in a while so I thought id give it another try and im gona try and keep at it this time. Soooooo, this week has been interesting. It hasnt been what i expected at all. Don’t get me wrong, for the majority of it I have been absolutly bored off my tits, and wishing that I could have been at home or at least doing something more productive. But in all fairness to alix, he has kept it slightly interesting and has somehow organised us to have xbox time, which was great. Don’t think any other uni in the world would let you sit all day playing Nazi Zombies.

  As for the opera- It’s rubbish. Honestly, A completly white stage that looks like the designer hasnt bothered to paint her model box, random props, four tons of sand and men in corsets and nipple tassels?! Now thats what i call random. The fact that it is in german and I have no idea what they are singing about just makes it worse. I can’t really judge it until I see the entire thing but I don’t think im the only person that thinks this. I also have zero cues throughout the show, which is rubbish, i’ll be bored senseless during the run, but the upside is that there is only 3-4 performances. I’m also looking forward to our beach party.

So I was having a good week so far, all was good, xbox, munchies, good company. I even got offered some work in glasgow for the first time, which couldnt come at a better time as I have shit loads to pay for in the next few weeks. And ontop of that I’m going to London for the weekend.  Can’t complain. Then I get a phone call from my mother; Basically last year 2 good friends were in a car crash, the driver flipped the car 8 times on a back road and the passanger was thrown through the front window and was killed almost instantly. He was only 17. The driver panicked and fled from the crash and didnt report it. And of course this just made things worse for him. Over the next few days I watched as everybody I knew were brought to breaking point as we watched my friend getting burried. It was pone of the most difficult weeks of my life. And now his courtcase has finally come around its bringing back all these emotions from last year. My friend will be sentenced next month and has the possibilty of getting up to 5 years for his mistake- Death by dangerous driving. All I can say is that I feel sorry for him and his family. I hope they can pull through this and I pray that he gets let off easy.

I’m off to London tommorrow and I hope that I can forget about the whole thing, because I know that this time next month will be a horrible time.

Peace out

  2. First of all, my commiserations about your friend. It must be even more difficult for you seeing as your not that busy. London sounds like it may be a well needed break.

    The life of a flyman. Pockets of frenzied activity followed by novel-filling gaps between cues. Of course not all shows are like this as I’m sure you know. And there’s only so much paperwork you can do (if any). So, what are you going to do about it? How can you use all of this time constructively? Apart from the X-Box that is…

    Maybe its a good time to get that LX Board manual out or the big book on knots? It’s how we choose to use the time we have that defines us…
