So here I am again wondering what I can do with myself in order to feel useful. Its amazing how often you can get this feeling as a student with the same question often cropping up, if University is the time of opportunities should I really be watching a repeat of Deal or No Deal whilst searching on the internet trying to find where Noel Edmunds gets his shirts from? Don’t get me wrong, I’m a very productive person and although I hate to brag here our the highlights from my list of accomplishments in this last week:
Built a large tower shaped object entirely out of Jaffa Cakes then as a finale ate the top one with out toppling the building.
Finally managed to sit through the whole of the film ‘The Deer Hunter’ without falling asleep.
Successfully sold ‘The Deer Hunter’ DVD to LES008 on ebay for a terrific price of £6.58.
Got a real six letter word on Countdown.
Realized that releasing a venomous snake into the flat to solve the rat problem has merely acted as a catalyst for a slightly bigger problem.
I’m sure you’ll agree that is quite a sterling list and many of you will be saying to yourselves ‘well where do you go from here? Can things get much better?’ The answer believe it or not is yes for I am an ambitious go getter who refuses to rest on my laurels. Instead, for the benefit of this blog I am setting myself new targets to achieve as soon as possible. Now I’m also a realist so some of these may seem quite easy but just remember I got a six letter word on countdown* so technically I should be putting my feet up on a SAGA holiday satisfied with my life right now:
New targets:
Win an Oscar within one year
Rig it so I’m sat next to Rachael Weiz at the award ceremony
Woo Rachael Weiz.
Record a Christmas number one.
Convince Television executives to bring back Gladiators.
Do something exciting on a shoe string budget.
Get a seven letter word on Countdown.
These targets are aided by the production company I have just created with two other pals called ‘Ten Pesos’ (The name stems from a long and embarrassing story regarding a hot waitress on a recent holiday) and the band/duo/guitar appreciation society I am in which I won’t advertise now because it would be rather desperate. So whatever you do, don’t go and look on myspace.com/trilbys and listen to the great music on offer.
Our production company is currently working on its first big piece at the moment and on Saturday we get to wake up bright and early at half six in the morning to go shoot a scene involving a crazy, drunk Scotsman and a crazy golf course which should be exciting. Everything on the project seems to be going well at the moment so with a bit of luck the Oscar may be in the bag sooner than planned and me and Rachael Weiz will be discussing wallpaper colours for the spare room before you know it.
As for the other targets, the Christmas number one will obviously be aided by the band who will also hopefully help the ‘do something exciting on a shoe string budget’ idea. My plan so far involves walking round England with nothing more than a back pack and guitar stopping where we feel like, playing where we feel like and just generally taking in England. It’s such a hippie idea I can almost see Jimmy Hendrix winking at me from above. My plan then is to get as many people to walk with us as possible, getting us media attention which means we can make a live demand to bring back Gladiators which will obviously turn the wheels in motion.
As for seven words in Countdown. That’s nothing more than a pipe dream really.

If you were to walk around Britain with nothing more than a backpack might you not a) be arrested b) catch a cold – or something worse? May I also take issue with your plan to campaign for the return of Gladiators? Nothing good ever came of that particular Saturday- evening-soft porn-masquerading- as-family-fun-viewing.
I made £40000000000000 having fun! Hey mush! So Marian has you linked on her blog...Are you romantically involved? Oh there's a comment from her. Hi marian! (eek)...(I know what you're thinking, why not delete it instead of saying 'eek'? Because I'm a rebel.
Check out my blog then boyo: www.pswaah.blogspot.com.
And for marian www.sophiepdp.blogspot.com.
The first one is much more interesting though!
p.s. I heart the trilbys. www.myspace.com/trilbys

There's the bracket I forgot to include in the above comment.
Peace out.
