The newest Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell episode. LOVE IT. I'd make a thread about it, but I can never tell if it's just me who's watching it. In any case, it is beautiful.

I'm watching! I haven't seen the latest yet so no spoilers but I'm really enjoying it!

No spoilers, promise. I'm so happy with the show thus far all I usually could say after the first three episodes was 'OMG, awesome!' Never mind smallish nit-picks.

Pfft, if he's lucky.
Finally got my signed copy of Excession back from a mate of mine.
He's only had it for like 2 years, still hasn't read it.
So I will.

Thanks guys, The wife has gone into a unique setting.

If my baby girls' up Mrs Dolmen can't sleep, regardess of how obviously sleepy wife is, regardless if baby girl's away from her or not. Both are still under observation because the lil' one had to take the second exit option but Mrs Dolmen hasn't let that phase her at all.

Women are scary tough. I get to sleep a bit as I'm not allowed to stay in with the ladies while they're kept in the maternity ward but I guess I can't sleep either as I'm up babbling to you guys.

S'pose I should try harder at this sleep thing...

I'm going to our family cabin this week end. Take the day of tomorrow to drive the 5 hours there. It's an isolated log cabin in a small valley deep into the mountains towards the Swedish border. Nothing there but some sheep, deer and the occasional bear.

I'll bring the new Stephenson book, an excellent bottle of wine I've been saving and some quality beer. I'll by fresh produce at the closest market, make excellent meals and do long walks in the mountains. I'll also be bringing a lady, which makes the trip the first time I'll be doing something like this with a girl who is not my ex. I'm a little anxious, for obvious reasons I would think, but mostly happy that this is something I'm at all capable of doing.

Don't let them scare you, every child is different. My son slept through the night from 3 weeks. Posted Image

Also, congrats!

Hey congratulations, Dolmen!

As for me, going out and getting a little work done and interacting with people away from home has helped a lot. I feel a lot lighter now.

I am also really grateful for this forum where I can express these things

Might have got a job working on a (very) small budget feature length film completely out of the blue (not sure if it's for tv or wider release). I'll basically be a helper doing bits and pieces like delivering scripts, or finding props, and things like that.

But considering my video internship ended about 2 weeks ago, and I was wondering what the hell i'd be doing until July (when I'll be filming a childrens choir), it's a big surprise.

Fingers crossed it works out. I head in to their production office in the morning to see what the actual story is, and if i get through friday, saturday and sunday, then I should have a good 5 weeks of employment to look forward to. And a major opportunity to network. Certainly beats rushing around trying to help my old classmates do no-budget short films with minimal equipment.
