When you’re unemployed Sundays are pretty meaningless
Finished the first act of my TV pilot. Two acts to go. Very excited about it. It's all about crossed wires between two hitmen and a white collar criminal. There's 200,000 Euros involved too, so tensions will run high throughout act two and three. Watch this space for...
Saturday. Just Saturday
Exploring my characters in a sort of lateral way. Having to force dialog instead of relying on voice over and floury explanation to get my point across. I'd never noticed the amount of little characters there are until you make your characters move around outside the...
Going Home Friday
The days I wish I had a car... So I went into town to pay the rent today, and it was raining. Not so bad, I got a taxi down, paid the rent and walked towards the bus station in the rain. I grabbed a packet of crisps, a coke and a box of fags. The bus station was...
Writing Thursday
Spent most of the day writing. Transferring formats between a short story and a TV pilot. It's going quite well. I've never actually done anything like this before, and I think it's going well. It's called "Blood, Fire and Spades in Castlefinn City". If anything comes...
Possible Life Changing Wednesday
So, this is a back posted series of days [updating 27th April] because I've been writing and dealing with the events that occurred Tuesday night, after I posted the daily picture. First, today's picture, then the life changing. So, on Monday my dad was working around...
Tight Tuesday
Yep, you've guessed it: It's going to be a lean Christmas at the dragon household. Name the reference in the comments. Lean, lean, lean. However, Ralph at Paypal sent me back the 10 euros that had been lost in the aether, which meant that I could go down to the ATM...
Meagre Monday
Yet another day up here on the Long Lane with barely a speck of cash between us. Made another batch of biscuits and tried to make some sausage gravy, but it didn't pan out very gravyish. Came out more like sloppy joes. Which was fine by me because one sausage filled...
The Other Mad Carpenters
In a moment of idle contemplation, I googled "The Mad Carpenter" and apparently it has shown up in a lot of places before I got to it. I don't see this as ripping off someone's idea, I see it in the way I see many things: Good ideas never die. Two totally separate...
Lazy Sunday
All I've really done today is recover from an awesome couple of days, and update this website because I've been rushing around the last while without any internet access or laptop. Hope you've all had a good weekend.
Saturday On The Beach
Finally a bit of good weather came our way, and once Ed, Aidan and Greg landed round at Ruth and Senan's place and off we went to The Bridge Club. Which involved driving over a lot of tiny bridges, and farting around in rivers. We explored the beach, went spelunking...
Carandonagh Party
I could babble on and on about how Senan and Ruth were fantastic hosts, the poker game was great fun, we drank all the beer and whiskey, midnight pies and losing an argument with a barbed wire fence but the pictures speak for themselves. Very image heavy after the...
Biscuit Day
Finally got my money! Hooray! Not that I look particularly joyous... Did a mess of shopping, ate well, and prepared for the trip to Carandonagh tomorrow. Going to do some partying with Ruth and Senan: there shall be lots of pictures. View Larger Map Edit: It's called...
