Festival Brochure
Last night I was working some more on my story and later on I watched an episode of The Wire.
On my way into work I stopped off to renew my bus pass for another four weeks. Work was quite a bit busier than it was yesterday. One annoying thing was that there was a problem with my work computer wasn't switching on properly. After about half an hour trying to get the IT department on the phone, and them not answering, I just unplugged it and plugged it back in again, and then it worked fine. I spent quite a lot of time at work listening to short stories by Neil Gaiman on my iPod. I like doing that, especially in the afternoon. I find it relaxes me and helps with concentration.
After work I went up to the Filmhouse cinema to pick up a brochure for the Edinburgh Film Festival which was released today. They seem to be having a good lot of guests this year. Every year they have filmmakers talking to an audience about their lives and careers and answering questions. This year they have got Darren Aronofsky (director of Pi, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain and The Wrestler), Sam Mendes (director of American Beauty, Road to Perdition and Jarhead), Joe Dante (director of The Howling, InnerSpace and the two Gremlins movies among others) and Roger Corman (who directed and produced countless cult "B" movies in the 1950s through to the '70s). There are also a whole load of other special events and premieres. I booked for the day off on Friday, just so that I can get all my Film Festival events booked up before they all get sold out.
It took an hour from when I left work to when I got home, so that was pretty annoying, but at least I got what I wanted. On my way home I got a sausage supper for my meal.
