Today was okay I guess, in case you didn’t know today is the day I met up with media folks to watch Public Emeries in a rented out cinema . I woke up more early than I needed to wake up as I was expected to catch the bus but my dad gave me a lift. So kudos to him saving me to wait in the cold for awhile. Last time I had a lift to Oxford for a college thing I learnt to leave plenty of time to travel there because of traffic. Imagine my surprise when I discovered in the normally dread locked roads was empty. This a good thing to most people but it meant I had loads of time before the meeting time in Oxford.
I had a good wonder around the city looking at all the stores that hadn’t yet opened. I brought a hot chocolate from Coffee Republic forgetting that they don’t put plastic lids on their cups. So I looked like a dork with a shaking hand with hot beverage spilling over my arms, tee and jeans. I even had one passer-by giving me the sympathy look.
I received a text from a mate called Sam asking where I was so I looked for him at the meeting point. Once a mate of his soon arrived after I did we did the same wonder that I just did as it was still before the meeting time. During this wonder with them, I nearly smashed into a pole. It scared the lights out of me I tell you.HMV had Beatles day, we went into there. Wasn’t as impressive as thought it would be but I liked that they tried.
Soon the time everybody was to meet up arrived. It was then I noticed that the other groups that were involved in different courses in media was going to act like twats today. One of the tutors joked on how they might of been a mix up on the film that we are watching today and that if it was this independent French film by the same name, he wouldn’t be amused. I felt so much grown up that I reached the stage that I am able to maintain a conversation with the tutors.
I was glad that I didn’t wear a coat when we got in to the cinema as it was really warm like it was the last trip to that very cinema last year. Some of the tutors wanted to speak before they played the film but the other groups was indeed acting like twats as I expected by not shutting their gobs. This was the same case during parts of the movie and they got owned by one of the tutors towards the end when she got proper pissed like I was getting.
The movie ended and I was pretty glad that it did, I had to wait for my timetable then I shot out with my best mate. I think that the heat gets to you in that place, it makes watching any film there quite uncomfortable but I think the fact once you seen one bank raided, you pretty much seen them all. I was getting bored and sick by it. I was cheerful when the lead character played by Johnny Depp was shot in the head as it meant I could go. It supposed to be a upsetting scene I think. Well I had a sigh of relief.
My best mate and his tag along found their bus stop and I said my goodbyes leaving them there as I didn’t fancy waiting for a bus I wasn’t catching. I found a Burger King and ate it on the way to my bus stop. Burning my hands in the process did I mention? I wouldn’t do that again. So that was my day.
I took photos for the blog which is something I forgot to do in recent times.
Yesterday I had a fantastic and gob smacking awesome time with my media group in London. It took along time to get to South Bank, London from Oxford though. On the coach journey in the way in, James pissed off a white van man by taking a photo of him without turning the flash off, but as the traffic hardly moves fast in London.. He got out and started banging the coach window. It felt like something out of The Inbetweeners. I found it funny for some reason.
Behind the Loose Women set had loads of duck tape to repair it as got wore out after the much usage it gets. I didn’t know how much lights that are involved for shows. It makes the set looks really different without the lights on. It was really good show and I really enjoyed doing the clapping etc. During one of the breaks when they do Q&As, somebody wanted to steal a mug. So when the show finished, a runner quickly carried the mugs away in a basket. BTW, they don’t drink tea or coffee, they drink bottle water.
