Interviews, Possibilities, Play

What's the news ppl?

I interviewed Lingo 24 entrpreneur Christian Arno about setting up his company. Had a good natter about the French Open on the side. Love a tennis fan!

Also, rather big news... which could just not happen, lol. But it might! A national glossy magazine are considering running an interview I've done. They're talking about it today, even possibly right now, in an editorial meeting. They have the power. I could have my first national press credit... or not. And then it's back to the drawing board. 'Cause it's all luck. I have no insiders at the big publications, I don't know what they're looking for. It just so happened this was the right interviewee at the right time... but even then, that might not be enough. If it got in tho, maybe I could get in further with this magazine. Or maybe they'd use it, and then I'd be cast off, back to where I am now. I just write about things that interest me. There is no master plan. I follow my instincts and what catches my attention. I couldn't do it in any more prescriptive way, otherwise where would be the fun in that?!

I finished my play! Oh ye of little faith... miss Mentor, you missed out, 'cause actually I am entirely capable of reaching a high level, and this could be good. Yes, it's gay. And it's a road trip. And it might not break the mould, but it shows totally blinding enveloping affectionate love and the things it'll drive us to do. Or how we'll drive across the Earth in the name of it. Haha - tagline right there! I'm having a theatre bud read it over, someone whose mentored me before and actually gave me benefit of the doubt/the time of day. Hope to goodness it's got the potential I think it does. Normally I'm not so sure, then I'm surprised when things do well. If I'm sure, does that conversely mean it won't be as good...? Huh... Hm...

ALSO! I went to the Doctor Who exhibition and I had the BEST time! :D It was amazing. It was like I was *in* the show. It was so cool. No wonder people on that show describe it as the best job in the world. The sheer quality and attention to detail of the work was so... exciting. Imagine being surrounded bythat expertise every day. I wish I was! Highlights... the Autons from the first ep, actually scary, the Face of Boe, K-9, the Daleks! I almost had the whole exhibition to myself, one of the staff gave me a free programme as they said they'd never seen anyone enjoy it so much. I was jumping up and down, so carefree, so happy. Why can't life just be like that... no worries. I've honestly not been that happy... in so long. And it took the Doctor Who exhibition to do it!

Spotted actress Hayley Atwell (Line of Beauty, Ruby in the Smoke, Mansfield Park). Actually spotted her dog first, cute long haired daschund, then I noticed its owner, lol. She was sweeping through, dark hair flowing, in the gorgeous Glasgow sun. She's in a play that's currently touring and made a stop in the city. Tried to take a snap, but couldn't, then realised that would make me like a pap, and that's not nice.

Later on that day, I also won a bottle of wine and a free drink in the quiz! Such days rarely happen, so I tried to cherish it! Just to compensate I went out Saturday night and it was a bit rubbish! But I got home unscathed, just about, so ready to write another day!

Take care, watch Andy (Murray) play at Queens!
