Malcolm's Films

This evening I went out after work to go to the Printmaker's Gallery to see two short films about my friend Malcolm. Malcolm works as a cinema projectionist and in his spare time he makes surreal comics. The first film was a blend of animation and film footage of Malcolm drawing a variety of horses in his sketch-pad, and the second was Malcolm playing his father tending a garden that was growing feet (Malcolm's dad was a chiropodist). The place was completely packed out. I didn't get to speak Malcolm, who I have known since we both started school, but I did meet his new girlfriend and she seemed very nice.

Tomorrow I have my first date in about two years! It's with a girl named Beth. I am still trying to get over my feelings for Michele, but I am working on it.

Evening Class Week Two

The class this evening went really well. I read out the story that I wrote last night to the class and the tutor said that it was gripping, suspenseful, dramatic and atmospheric. She also siad that she thought I was a naturally giften storyteller, so I was pretty happy to hear that!

I'm having a night out tomorrow to see some experimental, underground films, one of which was made by my friend Malcolm. It should be a good evening actually, with two films, two live bands and an art exhibit.
