roguem: (X-Men - Wolverine claws What now)

Weird evening, after my last post about finding the LP, I got ready for the cinema. Wanted to wash my hair as I was working tomorrow, and the movie started late. 
Anyway, when I've finished I get a call from Odd (my boss) saying I don't have to come in tomorrow, and if I could come to his offices on Saturday to help out with some stuff, getting it cleared up a bit. I said yes. It's just a bit of tidying, should be okay. Anyway he said he was getting an office ready for the finance guy, one for himself, and get this; one maybe for me! All I've been expecting was a chair, maybe my own desk, not my own office. Still very cool, and shows that things are going forward with the movie. Yay.
Then comes the not so great, I have an hour left before leaving for the cinema, and my dad gets a call. When he's done he asks us; 'How do you feel about moving to the new flat on the 10th of December?' I'm not very happy about it... We were supposed to move in on January 10th. My mom gets all excited, and basically says 'Yes!' before my brain has even processed the information. I say okay, but also that I'm not happy about it, and because I'm a fucking weakling I start crying. I have no idea why I started crying, really. My dad hugs me and my mom worries a bit. I just say it's silly, and my dad says that it's not silly to have feelings. I mean, I was looking forward to a final christmas here, but that's not reason to start crying, hate it when I get like this. Was kind of suprised about how worried they got at my little outburst to be honest. Not important though.
They know I'm not thrilled about the move in general, and now they know that I'm really not happy about having the actual date moved up as well. I've told them that I'm not to crazy about moving, but that I do understand why they're doing this. I'm not blaming them, but I can't help the way I feel either. I've gotten the impression that my mom feels guilty about it, she's trying to buy me off by promising me one of those expensive video iPod thinges... not an iPod, but one of those things that's like an iPod. Not gonna lie, I really want one, but wouldn't feel right like this. 
Bah, hate feeling like this... must focus on the positive. At least this will mean a nice quiet christmas.

Sorry guys, you must be so sick of my ramblings about this by now. So now on to happier things again:

I went to the cinema with isil80. We saw 'Scoop'. Now, normally I would never pay to watch a Woody Allen, especially one he stars in, as the guy annoyes the living shit out of me. And I've never been a big fan of  Scarlett Johansson either for some reason. But this was also a film starring Hugh Jackman, so I just had to give it the benefit of the doubt. 
It's not a great film, but I enjoyed it very much. I laughed, I was stressed, I was hooked on Hugh's accent. Must say I was jealous of Scarlett on more than one occation, but lets not go there. 

I read somewhere that it was a letdown for Woody fans, which probably explains why I enjoyed it. I thought it was funny and chariming, everybody did a good job and my annoyance at Woody's fidgeting was rather low. Hugh seemed so incredibly at ease with his character that I could almost believe that's how he is in everyday life. It was kind of hypnotic to watch. (for lack of a better word). All in all I found it very enjoyable, and it will end up in my DVD collection at some point, that much I can guarantee.

Think die hard "Deadwood"  fans would have enjoyed it as well, as Ian McShane had one of the main parts as well. It was also very nice to see Anthony Head again, even though it was only at a very short scene at the end of the film.

Also it looked to have been mainly shot in the area I lived when I was in London. Gotta admit it was distracting at times, but also very fun to see some of my old scenery again. There was actually a scene in the film at the only pub in Holland Park that I could stand; The Mitre, very low on smoke. That bit made me squee. They were mainly in the Holland Park and surrounding areas for the scenes in the city.


That's it for now. Might have to think about getting some sleep soon. 
Tomorrow will be good:
Some of my online auctions are closing, and so far a few of them have fetched well over the asking price, which makes me very happy.
I have the day off, and can get some stuff done.
And most importantly: IT's "Supernatural" day! Yay. :D

Thought I'd write a bit about my first day. 

Well first off I didn't get much sleep tonight. First it took ages before I fell asleep, and when i finally did a couple of cats singing outside my window woke me up again. Don't really know when I finally fell asleep. I can't remember the alarm ringing this morning, I'd hit the snooze button, but as far as I remember I just woke up.
Of course when i got up I was feeling like shit, really nauseous and the asthma was bugging me, had to lay down on the floor for a little while. There was no way in hell I was calling in sick. I eventually got dressed and managed to force breakfast down. My dad drove me in to the city and I got to Noroff. I still wasn't feeling to good, so I just went to the bathroom until the class started.
I met Odd and his wife Grete, and I was introduced to the class. There are only 8 students, so am thinking this will be okay. After a little intro thing, I was left alone with the class and we watched 'Witness'. During the film I started feeling worse again, so I left for a little while, had to get some air. It helped so the rest of the day went okay. 
When the movie finished Odd and Grete returned. During class I just handed out some stuff to the students, worked the DVD player, and on occasion shared some of my experiences from Roehampton. It was a short day. After lunch Odd and Grete had to leave, so I was charged with handing out some stuff and showing a clip to the students. Was done by 12:35, but decided to have a look at the cameras they're going to use before I left. Not what I'm used to working with, but If I'm allowed I'm sure I could figure it out. I was out the door 12:45. Mom came and got me. Ended up falling asleep on the couch when I got home. Did me some good.
All in all it was a good day, and if this is what I'm going to be doing I'm totally okay with it. I don't mind that it's not payed work, because it gets me out of the house, and if nothing else I'll get a recommendation out of the deal and that will be helpful.

Thought it was time for a real update.

Wednesday I called to get some information on my laptop again. I'd called the day before and asked, but they had computer trouble and promised me to call me back when they found the info. They never did, so i called, was told that they were missing some info and I had to bring the guarantee papers with me the next day and come in.
Okay, seriously. I have to call them and bug them to get this information?? They have my number, they have my e-mail address, ho hard is it to give me that message?? 
In the evening my mom and I stopped by [profile] isil80 for a little visit. My mom was very curious about her new flat and sofa. Was a nice little visit, sat talking and looked at some pictures.
When i got back home I watched some 'Grey's Anatomy', then saw the first episode of 'Ghost Whisperer' on TV,  not a big fan of the series, but Wentworth Miller was the ghost of the week, so had to have a look. He really is great at what he does, I think he outshone everybody in that episode. After that I watched 'Invasion', still not sure about that show. I know I could stop watching today and not think anymore about it, but am giving it another episode or two to win me over. Finished the evening with 'Grey's Anatomy'.

Thursday the first thing I did was jump in the car and drive to the shop to get some info about my laptop. Turns out they misplaced the info about what's broken and such. Which is so crazy because they have the info on their computer, and someone started fixing it on the 21st, so I don't get the problem. I told them repeated times, that I'd delivered it to them three weeks ago and that I needed it for work. Here's the problem with me though, I can't start yelling in situations like this. I really want to and I know what I want to say, but I'm unable to. However I lost count of how many times I told them that they had kept my computer for three weeks, that I needed it for work, and that I'd called them repeated times. I filled out the form and drove back home. I was so pissed, it didn't help much that I almost got run off the road twice on the way back.
I managed to channel all the agression into something good though, vacumed my car and cleaned it, and when I got bak inside I cleaned my desk and fixed some computer stuff. When i was done with all that I was feeling good again. 
Watched some  'Grey's Anatomy'. In the evening [personal profile] beluga stopped by for a little visit. Sat talking with my parents for a while, before going up tp my room. Her boyfriend came after a while as well. As my parents had to approve him as well. ;P They didn't stay long, poor beluga has been takin PE at school, which she will have to do everyday till december, so she's whiped at the moment.
After she left I continued with what has turned out to be a  'Grey's Anatomy' marathon.

Yesterday was a calm day really. Watched a whole lot of  'Grey's Anatomy' episodes, when I got to episode 19, which is the second Denny (JMD) episode it turned out I didn't have it, so I had a look around, and started downloading. As I didn't feel like skipping it and going back to it later I ended up sewing some stuff while watching a couple of episodes of season 2 of 'The Pretender'.

Today I've watched two episodes of  'Grey's Anatomy', and relaxed a bit. Got a call from the Penelope Film boss, Odd, and I'm meeting him tonight to discuss what I can do to help in the film classes he'll be teaching. It's without pay, but it's experience, and he'll give me a letter of recomandation when I'm done. Also am hoping this will get another toe in the door for the movie project in 2007. Am also going to [profile] isil80 tonight. In a few hours actually, so will go from her to meet with Odd.

What else... I'll be posting some remblings about  'Grey's Anatomy' soon.
Wish me luck for tonight. :)
