Just one more thing...

Another quick update on how my life is going at the minute.

My wednesday evening workshops are going pretty well, all my students (never thought I'd apply that expression to myself) are very into my course it seems. Had a free ticket to see Knocked Up at the same time my workshop was annoying which was a tad annoying.

What else...

Finished watching the first season of the wonderful West Wing, need to buy the other six seasons on DVD fast (I know some of the seasons vary in quality but I'm a completlist). Still watching Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, enjoying that, obviously not in the same league but very good. Aaron Sorkin is a bit of a legend.

For some reason I've got Last Comic Standing on at the minute, not sure what to think of it as a show, most of the comedians I don't find particularly funny and a lot of them are very one note. Speaking of something Last Comic Standing related (it will make sense in a bit) I've been getting into watching Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, why? I'm not too sure. I disliked her on Suddenly Susan and really hated her on the red carpet for E! but there is something that worringly draws me too the show ---Oh yeah, she was one of the judges on an episode of Last Comic Standing during the most recent My Life on the D-List episode show over here--- There's a couple of other shows I tend to have on, when I'm not paying 100% such as 8 Simple Rules (they've gone back to the John Ritter years over here) and that Candian show Kenny vs Spenny, which is watchable but also very obviously fake.

Oh yeah, gonna set regular dates during the week for posts to be up.

Every Monday: Guilty Pleasures

Every Friday: Great Television Characters

There's a few more columny type things that may get designated to certain days, just don't want to start them all up at once.

First Update of August

Been somewhat away from a computer for the last weekish or so. Anyway a quick catch up on my life at the moment.

Ran my first filmmaking workshop as tutor last Wednesday, it exceeded all expectations in quality. All my students (I have an hard time calling them that for some reason) where very keen and eager and in two hours we brainstormed an idea for a film, came up with some scenes, shot the scenes, edited it which included adding musical and sound effects aswell as credits and showed the film on our big screen. All in two hours, I impressed myself there. My only worry his I set the bar a little too high for future workshops.

In other news, I should be back updating this regular after the week off, everything seems to have sorted itself out.

What I've been watching.

The West Wing: Really getting into Studio 60 in the Sunset Strip and the quality of that made me decide I wanted to revist the first season of this classy drama. Like I said in an earlier post Bradley Whitford's Josh was probably my favourite WW character (Leo, C.J. and Toby are very close though). I just love the interaction between the characters in this show.

Seinfeld: I am working my way through the first and second season. George is easily my favourite character ---Jason Alexander is just so perfect for the role---, It's been said before it's a show about nothing and that's why people love it.

Saturday Night Live: Will go more indepth with this in a later post. Really digging John Belushi and Gilda Radner on this first season though.

I think I'm going to see The Simpsons Movie tonight. I didn't want to see it the first week cause of the annoying kids in the cinema.

A bigger updater later.
