Finally got my next project approved at college yesterday – I’m taking pictures of my friends holding their Blythes for a documentary project. Now to set up times and do some more research… should be fun though… it’s just getting everyone together. Oh and we have a four week deadline for conception, shooting, colour printing (which I’ve never done before) and putting on our show. Even our lecture thinks the course is too short – which may be relevant on critique day when half the class don’t show up…
Essay went in yesterday. Oh my god, I’d forgotten how hard academic writing is and how long it takes. I finished it 9pm on Sunday night – after working on it for three weeks. My next essay is due in exactly one month, so next week I mount the essay merry-go-round again. Bugger, why can’t we just take nice pictures? ;(
But at least I have a night or two off so I’m going out to dinner tonight, and on Thursday I think I might go see ‘The Prestige’.
On the home front the structural engineers said what we wanted to do wasn’t structural (yay) but they needed the original plans to the building to confirm it (boo). That means getting Southwark council to get off their arses and actually do something, which of course means a delay. Grrr.
Our lounge though is looking different… Bubb has scraped off three quarters of the incredibly old woodchip painted over wallpaper. It takes an age to do! Then we have sugar-soap to scrub, holes to fill, priming to do and finally 2 nice clean coats of paint. Preparation is everything folks!
Back to the coal mines…

I must take some pics for blogging and for the eventual before/after display….
