I’m all soniced up! in OD

Yup, on Saturday I bought me a sonic screwdriver. It don’t light up or anything yet (aint got the batteries) but still. Sonic screwdriver!

Last night me and Kat did the returning of each others possessions bit. What happened was that I bumped into one of her housemates when I went to see Serenity, and he admitted he had never even heard of Firefly. So I went round to lend him my box set. And I decided to bring her stuff round at the same time. Kinda two birds, one stone deal. Thought it would be as simple as knock on door, hand stuff to housemate and go. Quick, easy and painless.

If you have no idea what I’m going to type next, you obviously haven’t been reading this diary long. It all goes fine right up to the point when the door is opened. By Kat.

Cos THAT’S not awkward.

So I hand over the stuff, she goes and gets mine, she goes back into the house and I head to the pub to meet up with some folk from my course.

Which is going well. I’ve got about 5 things that are due in by Xmas, but it’s cool.

One of them is where we take a scene from a film, recreate it shot – for – shot then reinterperite it. The scene my group is doing is from The Shining. And guess who’s filming the re-creation?

Me.

First proper directing project for college and I’m following in the footsteps of one of the greatest directors ever.

I’m ever so slightly nervous.

For the next part of this entry the writer will be babbling like a 13 year old schoolgirl with her first crush on a boyband member. If you have a nervous disposition, have a history of heart disease, are aged under 18 or want to retain any and all remaining respect for the diarist we urge you to look away now. May cause genital disfunction. No purchase necessary. See pack for details.

So we’ve finally got Veronica Mars over here. Probably all edited to fuck, since it’s broadcast at 6pm but still.

How fucking amazing is this show? Honestly? Any programme that has death and rape in the opening episode is getting my attention but the scripts and acting and, well, just about everything keep me going back to it. And the network were threatening to cancel it!

It does help that Kirstin Bell and Amanda Seyfried are all kinds of hot. (Sargeant Corbeau, you are officially posted on Shaggable alert.)

Plus season 2 will feature not only Kevin Smith but the evil genius that is Joss Whedon! How cool is that?

**GEEKOUT OVER, GEEKOUT OVER**

And that’s about it from me.

*Re-reads entry to make sure there are enough typos*

I am such a geek.
