(no subject)
First post of 2011 and I'm kind of wondering where to start, or how. I'm so bad at keeping in touch these days, what is it with me? I guess I've become the proverbial "no news is good news" person. My family are being nice about my reclusive behaviour. I should plan a trip to Ireland sometime soon...
well, I still have a lot of things to do. Some beta reading which is coming along nicely, though way more slowly than I'd planned. Set me a deadline, mo chroí?
There's a new rpg campaign due to start soon, with these old friends of ours, and Ana's like "Weren't you going to work on the campaign today?" and I'm like, "Yes, but I think I will tomorrow?" and she's like "Ok" while I spend the afternoon and evening between Civ4 (way too much time), films and a burrito dinner.
So I got up early today, and after pottering around a bit (which means spending time pretending to do things) I opened youtube and in my search I came accross something very interesting...

So after watching this, I was quite amazed, and I saw in the links another yet longer film.

Absolutely amazing!!!
Then there's this, a commentary by the director and the main actor

So I started at, what, 10 am? Now it's nearly 2 pm. I've seen "Born of hope" twice, first the first time, and second the second time (but the commentaries version in which the director who plays an interesting character as actress too and the lead actor just talk about the making of) which is highly entertaining.
Better than Peter Jackson, if you'll forgive me. Go Kate Madison!
Well, now I've got to go attend things I should attend to.
