I've already forgotten to put mine in today. Bit pointless now - although later when I'm on the computer working I'll just wear my glasses but use the contacts tomorrow for work. I'm not supposed to wear them all day just yet anyway. Plus - as much as I like them, whist I have glasses I'm not sure I can afford the expense of wearing a contact lens every day. I only really wanted to try them for going out times - i noticed it was far too hard to do my make up now on the left eye due to the stupidness of the right - but now i'll be able to do it :D

in other news:

my car is half fixed YAY!!! i cn now drive over 50mph in it without feeling like i'm going to take off! woop!

i still have the following to do on it though:
1. get the thrash bearings fixed for the clutch
2. sort out the locking function on my drivers door
3. sort out why the lights in the boot won't come on when it's opened only just as you're about to close it (so no it's not that the bulbs have gone)
4. wheel covers - they've now all fallen off.
5. ideally a new rear bumber, but i'm nbound to shell out for one and then someone will hit me so i'll just wait i think.
6. a new clip for the front bumber.

EEK - THAT'S A LOT!

i may also need a new tyre and new windscreen wipers. bahh.

no it didn't fly, i never actually tried the theory out that it might take off if i went over 50, i thought it might fall apart! and it may well have done!

Justin Bieber will switch on the Christmas lights today at Westfield White City 5pm and Stratford 7.45pm.

I suggest you avoid the entire area for today if you can, unless you want to be caught up in Bieber-hysteria! Biesteria?

So, in September I was invited by the great Larry Fong (DOP; LOST, 300, Watchmen, Sucker Punch, Super 8) to a commercial production in Budapest.

It's pretty much unprecedented. I've had to keep tight-lipped about it since Day One.

I got to work on it as Script Supervisor.

It's out.
