Needless to say, I did indeed drive my friends mad with talking about nothing but 'Collectormania' for the entire week...and quite a while afterwards. I made a prat of myself infront of Kate Mulgrew whilst trying desperately to remember the really interesting question I had for her. (Which consisted of asking her to compare the difficulty of playing an airy fairy character like 'Emily' from 'Our Town' on stage to playing the legendary Captain Janeway on-screen). Instead I blathered and missed my opportunity, but through the glasses of hindsight, I wouldn't have /not/ gone. We (and by that I mean my good friends Kenneth and Matt) had a wonderful day all in all, and it was just as nice hanging out with them as it was having the other experiences.
Talking about acting, I've been rather involved with an am-dram film project over the past few weeks. Not only have I played a thoroughly interesting part, but I've also done a lot of camera work and I've been doing other misc. 'backstage' work for it as well. All in all, we've completed about 10% of the film, but what we do have is of a quality that I'm proud to be involved with. It's going to continue to be a bit of a slog, but by the end of it we'll have a feature-length film. Fun times!
I also got an Oscar at this year's 'LUTheatre' Awards. When I say 'I', I technically mean 'Amy, Laura and I', since all three of us were on the costume/makeup team for 'The Lady's Not For Burning'. I ended up with the Oscar however, for my services as 'History Nerd'. The next big thing on the LUTheatre calendar is the 'Intro Evening' for the Freshers next year...which I have to organise. Fun times. I should really start getting that sorted, if only to allow myself to keep some sanity over the summer.
Yes dear readers, I managed to graduate with that expected 2:1 (albeit with an average of 64, something which I shall be twitching at for a while), and I've been 'unofficially' accepted onto the MA program. W0ot! It'll give me an extra year to get my head into 'career mode' and get stuff done in terms of experience and suchlike. I'll also be living with Keith & Jess (who are both LUTheatre peoples) as well as two more guys who I'm sure I'll get along with.
Apart from bitching about putting on weight/inches despite going to the gym 3 times a week and running on alternate days, I don't have an awful lot more to say.
Except the fact that drinking a whole bottle of Jager is never a good idea. Ever.
