My October

Aware that I have been silent again for most of the month, a quick round-up.

I have:

Volunteered at an independent film festival again which consisted of;

  • Lots of crowd control (aging session musicians are the worst)
  • Seeing 3 features, 12 shorts and 5 documentaries
    Drinking free cocktails made from Tuaca (tastes nice but lethal)
  • Being in the same room as celebrities of various degrees including; Faye Dunaway, Mark Benton, Richard Hawley and Corey Fieldman
  • Meeting Adam Yauch from the Beastie Boys

Joined another library because the 200,000 book in my Borough aren't enough

Contemplated becoming a documentary film maker

Learnt how to prepare for and deal with a terrorist attack

Continued to dodge the Lucky Heather Sellers

Well done with continuing to dodge the Lucky Heather Seller.

Once again the festival sounded amazing. I am going to keep saying this every year - I want to come!

So, what kind of documentaries are you thinking about doing?

Honey, what is this Tuaca...if it's honestly lethal, I just have to have some...

Roses - for helping out I'm entitled to do one of the organisation's courses for free and they do one on documentaries so I was considering doing that. But I watched so many I feel I have a good idea in my mind how to structure them so they work (from having seen good and bad ones). I have a vague idea about something to do with music.

Cogi - Tuaca is "a premium golden amber liqueur redolent of fine aged brandy...blended with hints of vanilla and orange". I'm quoting from the small bottle I have at home. It tastes pretty nice and works well with ginger ale and lime or soda, but its stronger than it tastes.

It sounds like it's been a bit hectic for you of late. The documentary stuff sounds great - let us know what you decide.

Tuaca sounds like nectar. May have to try and hunt some out
