A Quick Update on Some Stuff I've Done

Haven't written anything on this for a while - I've been spending my spare time trying to write a graphic novel and trying to sort out some animation for a music video (both things I should be doing at the moment, but I thought I'd write this instead for a bit).

Other stuff I've done:

I've read Stewart Lee's book 'How I Escaped My Certain Fate...', which I really liked - I had actually seen all of the shows that are transcribed in the book, but it was good to re-look at them. It did make me have a very disturbing dream where I was making a ventriloquist dummy of Stewart Lee though - I kept having to show the dummy to Lee himself, only for him to say it wasn't good enough over and over again.

I started watching some of the films in the hammer horror box set that I brought some time ago: 'The Plague of the Zombies' is the best of the ones I've watched so far - it's a strange film set in Cornwall with a great hero in the form of an oldish man with a tash that arrives from London to sort out the zombies. I tried to watch 'She', but couldn't get passed the opening scene, which features Bernard Cribbins dancing.

Saw 'Ghost Stories' at the theatre in London, which was good fun but not nearly as frightening as I thought it was gonna be.
