You've all probably noticed that I'm using my Journal to post some X-men news as well as my regular posts. This is just to make X-Men website
better. I will consider making a new journal for this later, but right now I can't be bothered.

Sniper470 can be downloaded! It's the short film that Billy Boyd was in. I've just downloaded it, and will watch it after wards.

Quiet day today. Camelia left a 7 a.m. to go to an audition for a school she wants to attend next year. I'm crossing my fingers for her. I really hope she gets in because she really wants it. But I must admit that part of me wants her to get in so I won't be alon next year. Feel kind of selfish.
Ok, I'm hoping she gets the result she wants out of this audition, because that's the most important thing! :)

I've gotten sick. Just a sore throat and cloudy head so far, and that I can live with. It's when my nose gets clogged up it gets really bad, but I'm not gonna worry about that before it happens. Am downing "soothers", some blackcurrant sweets for my throat and drinking tea, so I'm ok. :) No worries.

The guy from my production group called me at least 6 times yesterday. I didn't pick the phone, I was in no mood to talk with him. And if it was important the guy could have sent me a message. If he asks me on Wednesday why I didn't pick up the phone I'll just say that I either lost it or was never in the room when he called, and didn't have money to call him back.

Saw Britney Spears on "V Graham Norton" yesterday, not because I wanted to, but because Camelia just had to see it. Geez, Britney is a total idiot, the more she spoke the more stupid she sounded. I didn't want to say anything, but finally I did, and Camelia got all defensive about it. She tried to attack one of my old heroes, but then I just said: "You can say what you want about them I don't care. That doesn't help the fact that Britney is a moron." I let it drop after that, coz Camelia obviously couldn't see past the "Britney is a great dancer" thing. I just got a little annoyed for some reason... I don't know...

Saw "Matrix: Revolutions" yesterday, that was quite a sucky movie. The only thing I found a little enjoyable was the final fight between Mr. Smith and Neo. I also think that if I hadn't known who Hugo Weaving was I wouldn't have found that such fun either. It's just the way he talks in that movie... it's kind of weird. I think it's kind of sad that this was supposed to be the concluding film, when I was left sitting with a bunch of questions I didn't get answers to. The first movie was onto something but the last two really blew it. I don't really know if i liked this one less than "Reloaded", but it sure as hell wasn't better.
The fact of the matter is that I only went because I had promised Camelia and that I knew that they were going to show "The Return of the King" trailer before the movie. The trailer for "ROTK" broke my heart, I so wanted to run back here and watch all the trailers and look at all the pictures. I've been downloading things without looking at them, so I can know as little as possible before the movie. "Two Towers" got a little ruined for me because of all the spoilers and stuff I saw and read beforehand. I have read the books, but I don't know how it will play out in the movie. So I'm trying to get the same kind of surprised feeling that I got from "FOTR". Am really looking forward to it now, next week we'll hopefully have tickets for the premiere in Leicester Square. :) 32 days to go! ;)

Am feeling better again now, don't think I'm getting sick. So it must be that the period is on it's way. Just hope I don't get it during the "in class test" tomorrow, it counts for 30% of my final grade, so I would hate to run out in the middle because of cramps.
Am nervous. I have read all that I can read, and done all the study stuff that I'm able to do, been watching movies, and stuff and analyzing the camera movement, cutting, acting, lighting and sound. There's so much to notice. We had exercise in class where we listened to a movie clip and we're gonna guess what type of movie it was, and from when, what type of movie, and list the sounds we heard. That was actually interesting. Though it's not the first time I've heard a video clip. Happens every time there's a updated vrs of Quicktime and all I get of the clips I've downloaded is sound. Wow, I'm kind of rambling now aren't I. Am just nervous about the test, though I can't think of anything else to prepare.

Anyways, Camelia is coming back on Sunday. Sound like she's having a lot of fun back home. That's good, think she needed a little down-time. Not that classes are a bitch for her, but we all need some down-time once in a while. :) I can't wait for Xmas brake now... it's still about 6 weeks of school left, but I'm hoping it'll be quick. I really miss the people back home, and my dog. They're showing some really horrible commercials on English TV about abused and mistreated dogs, and it's just killing me. It makes me want to run down to the dog-pound and adopt every dog there. I love animals, so stuff like that just pisses me off. Pets are for life, not just for xmas!

On monday I'll finally get my hands on the "X2: X-Men United" DVD. I've put down a deposit on it, and will receive a X-Men Cd-tin when I go get the DVD. Luckily I have monday's off from school, so I can spend the whole day watching the extras, and of course the movie. Yay! I love those movies, think I could write quite a long paper on that as well if I could choose, but maybe I shouldn't, don't know how critical I could be. ;)
Most people are getting exited for the release of "The Two Towers" extended version, but I'm not gonna buy it straight away, might see if I can get it cheaper if I wait a bit. One of my friends will buy it, so I'll get my share when I visit her. I've barely watched me own "The Fellowship of the Ring" extended version, because she put hers on every time I came to visit. Anyway, I don't wanna get all pumped up for "The Return of the King" a moth before the big event. Think they'll start ticket sales on the 11th, so Camelia and I will be in line... or she will, while I'm at school. Have to work out how we're gonna do it. We wanna do the "Trilogy-Tuesday" thing if we can. They're gonna show the extended vrs of "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers" before they show "Return of the King", like a "Lord of the Rings" marathon. Only thing is, that I have school that day, so we've just got to figure out when it starts, and if there's any point for us to go to that. But there is nothing that's gonna stop us from getting tickets for the "The Return of the King" premiere December 17th!

All of this will of course be going on in between school, exams and filming. Heh, I don't think I'll have to worry to much about killing time till xmas. ;)

And what am I looking forward to after xmas?
2 day school week.
More breaks from school, so I can go home more often.
"Van Helsing"
"Return of the King" extended version
"Kill Bill, vol 2"
More news about "X-Men3" ?

Hmmm, they're shooting fireworks outside. I don't know the details, but the British are celebrating the fact that some guy named Guy Falks (or something like that) didn't manage to blow up some building. But they've been shooting fireworks all week, and today they're really going at it, kind of nice actually. Festive.

I should return to reading for my test tomorrow, doubt I can cram much more into my brain at this point, but it's worth a try.
Wish me luck.

We had a great time this weekend. We didn't get to meet the hobbits, since all the tickets had been given out before we got there. But we we're prepared.
We all went to the "Two Towers" talk on Saturday. Saw Dominic Monaghan, Sala Baker, Lawrence Makoare and Brent McIntyre. That was fun, but I didn't feel like the crowd was as lively as last year.
Yesterday evening Camelia and I went to the "Fellowship of the Ring" talk, with Elijah and Sean! They we're great! The crowd was great and they seemed to have lots of fun; singing, joking, getting stuff from fans. Sean's brother, Mackenzie, called him in the middle of the chat, so we got to ask him a few questions as well. Seems like he's voting for Gary Coleman in the election over there... hmmm. But we had loads of fun

Today Lily, he sister and Isen left and went back to Norway. They should be boarding the plane as Im writing this. Sad to see them go. It's been a fun-filled visit.

Camelia booked tickes back home to Norway a sec ago as well. She's got some time off from school coming at the end of the month, 29.10-09.11. So I'll be all alone. *sobs*. Nah, I'll be ok. I'm gonna see if I might have a possibility as well.
Her trip cost 51£!! + about 25£ for the train over to Stanstead, but still! That's pretty damn cheap.
I have to find out how my reading-week is before I can find out about coming home. Seems like we might be having a film project going at time, so then I have to stay in the city.
I'll still be alone while Camelia is on her trip, but we might get thursday and friday evening together in Norway before she has to head back. I doubt I'll get time off, but it's worth a check...
