Having failed to complete my NaNoWriMo last November I’m starting a new overly ambitious writing project next month…

April is “Script Frenzy” month apparently where Not-As-Many-People-As-Participate-In-NaNoWriMo try and throw together a 100 page script over the course of 30 days.

The script can be for a TV show, a play, a movie, a comic, whatever… just batter out 100 pages in a month. Simple right? well last year I was planning on participating and I just forgot about it till it was too late. Kinda like April Fools, I always seem to remember about it on the 2nd when it’s too late…

I’ve started getting emails from the Script frenzy whenever anyone posts in the “Hi I’m doing a script frenzy” post in the Scotland forum, I’m not sure why… I’m considering stopping them but the naivety of some of the people amuses me… For example:

Hey, I’m Dan. 19 hailing from east end Glasgow. Been script writing about a year and a half now, its fun stuff. Give the frenzy a proper bash, just so happened I had just started planning an idea for a film (well a trilogy actually) just as I noticed the frenzy was coming around again.
My idea is basically a modern day twist on the age old Vampire/Werewolf war. I’m not releasing a whole lot out about it just yet because, not a lot is set in stone. But its shaping up beautifully and hopefully all goes well so when April rols around I just get to write! write! write!

I mean seriously you are going to write Vampire the Masquerade as a “Trilogy”, hasn’t someone already done that….

I hate to sound mean, I think that embracing the creative process is a wonderful thing, maybe I’m to cynical, but seriously…

I don’t know what I’m going to script yet. Probably a Comic or something like that. I was thinking of doing my Zombie Idea from last year. I’m not really that bothered I just want to write something. Maybe I’ll write my own take on a modern day interpretation of the “age old Vampire/Werewolf war….” Maybe not… I guess I could write a film script about space smurfs, maybe even expand the concept to include a plot…

One of the Ideas I’ve been tossign around my head is to script a computer game… Then I could declare May code frenzy and code it up… Alternatively I could do something else.

Probably like all my other endeavours of this type it will fizzle out within a week. But for that week I’ll be really enthused!

I started the year planning on posting all my 365 Images as I took them to my blog. I got lazy in posting them to flickr and now look at me… Apparently I’m 34 images behind… I think some of the images are on flickr but I didn’t post them because I had been hunting down on image that had gone walkies.

I’m going to start a fresh and hunt down the rest of the images as I can, because there is no point in taking all these photos unless I post them so people can critique them.

365: 69. The busker out my window., originally uploaded by Ohmzar.

t’s been a while since I posted a 365 I have been taking them. I just haven’t had a chance to post hem to Flickr. This is a guy who is apparently called Elavi(Yes I did some research and got a link to his website, the address is on his bag), he is rapping and playing the bass outside of my window.

Two dreams last night and I must have had travel on my mind in the first I went to china to visit a friend who lives there but forgot to pack a bag and any money. All I had was a Thob… I ended up borrowing money off a friend to buy some fish… I seem to remember having trouble finding clothing that fit me because I’m not a small fellow and if you’ve ever been to the far east you’ll know that finding clothing for “Not Small Fellows” is near impossible.

In the second dream I’d gone to Japan with my parents but forgotten to get a Japan Rail Pass which scuppered my plans for exploration. You can’t get one in Japan, and it takes a while for them to arrive. Luckily Annabel was coming in a weeks time and we were going to try to get her to get one for me.

I think in summary I’m afraid of forgetting things when I go traveling…

This is a test post to see if I’ve managed to resolve the LibXml Issue I’ve experienced since changing server.

We saw this poor guy on the pond at Kelvingrove park, he really didn’t like the fact that the pond had Iced over.

When he was walking we slipped all over the place meanwhile a moor hen skooted about quite happily.

Cool little rap featuring pretty much all of Mario Land. Mario land is an odd one in the series, part of me thinks that Nintendo hijacked another game and did a sprite swap for appropriate graphics to make it a Mario game like they did with Super Mario Bros. 2. There isn’t much consistency with any of the other games aside from the pipes.

Just thought I’d posta quick blog about my 365. I so far managed to take at least one picture a day for the past 41 days, not counting today (Technically I have taken a photo today but it was with my phone). I’m enjoying the experience but it is stressfull having to make sure I always have my camera on me, and there have been a couple of days where I’ve taken a photo at 11pm just so I have a photo for that day.

I’ve had a timestamp issue on some of my photo’s because my camera was still set to Saudi time so some of my 365 pictures look like they were taken the day after they were taken. I think i deleted the photo from this Monday which is a bit rubbish… I may have copied it to a hard drive, but I’m not sure.

Inspiration seems to come in bursts, some days I’ll have 20 images that I want to use for my 365 others I’ll struggle to get one that I like, or even to take one photo. On the whole I am learning though which is what is important. Tuesdays in particular are a difficult day because I follow the same routine every tuesday and I’m finding it difficult to be inspired. It’s also a bit rubbish that it’s dark when I leave the office, but cest la vie.

I think I need to get a better bag for lugging my camera about, I’m finding that having the camera in my backpack is frustrating as I have to take the bag off and pull out the camera whenever I want to take a photo, by which point the moment is lost or the subject has moved.

Next week is going to be interesting as I’m lending my DSLR to a friend. I’ll have to use a point and shoot camera again. I’m taking this as a reason to focus on composition rather than funky aperture/depth of field/ exposure stuff, who knows.

I’ve got 7 images that need to be posted to my 365 set/blog. I think some of them are already on flickr I’ve just not added them to the set.

That is all…

If I ever wore bike shorts I’d wear these, thankfully I don’t think I have worn bike shorts since 1992 and I’m not likely to start any time soon.
