Shit's getting real now. Today was the official cinema release of the feature film I got to work on last summer (we had a red carpet event a few weeks ago which was also cool). There are billboards all over the place, and now even a few ads on the TV here nationally. My facebook feed is flooded with people congratulating various cast and crew members about the film after seeing it. In general everyone seems so positive about it, and that's awesome since it was such an amazing effort to make it in the first place with virtually no budget, and relying on favours and the goodwill of locals to help get things done (the catering alone was over half our initial budget!!).

So for now, the film is out in the wild, and hopefully will do well at the box office (that way I might get to be involved in the writer/director's next project). At the moment it's only out in Ireland, but I just heard that it's going to be screened a few times at the London Film Festival in October, and the Fantastic Festival in Austin, Texas (whenever that's on). So if you're near either of those festivals, check it out.

I'd love to hear what people outside of Ireland would make of it. It's called THE YOUNG OFFENDERS, and it's a light-hearted comedy about two (not very bright) teenagers who steal a few bikes and go on a road trip to find a missing bale of cocaine, which the think will solve all their problems. Yeah right.

It looks right up my alley, since that's exactly how I view the Irish people as a whole, and I love to laugh at them. I don't suppose I'll get to see it until home release/streaming though, unless it gets a major US release somehow. I don't think even Once made it to my locale.

So after the shit week at work I just got promoted. Go figure.

So far so good.

Got back yesterday from 12 days out field. Covered in midge bites. Worst field ever.

Just slept about 16 hours out of the last 24.

My little hawk now has a name - she's called Aura. She's coming along really well!

So cute! I had friends that were falconers. I wish I could have apprenticed.

So the project I've been working on for the better part of this year is finally in stores, and I get to see my name in print, which is pretty awesome. I've managed to get the position of editor-in-chief before the age of 30 and that makes me really happy, although I was recently fired from that very same position due to office politics and the fact that the people I worked with were absolute cunts.

It's so bizarre the difference in the US to the UK. You don't have to be licensed over here and there's no monitoring, whereas I understand there's a whole structure that takes a number of years with exams to pass in the US? It's a shame that's not the case here really, the centre has so many birds they've taken in because someone's gone out and bought one and realised way too late how deeply in over their heads they are.

A lot of things this week.
So Toro Rosso know that I'm leaving now. Sorted that it today, and I'm glad it's over with. I hate handing my notice in. Especially when I don't particularly want to leave. One less stress now. They were fine and totally understand my situ.
My agent was gutted though, I could see the panic writ plain on his face when I told him.
Soz Bogdan!!
They already needed 10 more guys for the build season. 11 now. Lol.
Just booked Herself to come and and join me for four days too. Gonna take her to Rome for a couple of nights.
Soooo looking forward to it.
Then I got me a week off before I start at Renault.
Yeah it's all coming together now.

[worry]

Today I woke up to bacon.

@Grim: Was that a translation project or something more expansive?

[Morgoth]

This week end a couple of friends and I bought a vacation for Cambodia early next year. Beaches, jungles, ruins, and for a few days a beach bungalow on an island right on the edge of the jungle and the beach with a view westwards out over the ocean.

I guess I'll have to buy a kindle now.

Congrats! Did your agent not know that you were going to sign for a different team?

[EmperorMagus]

That feeling of being horribly violated by a mentally challenging exercise and succeeding. I feel like somebody poured vinegar in my eyes though.

No they only deal with this team. They asked me to stay and see the build out, I feel a bit for them.
Don't know why but it's hard getting guys out there.
I got to look after myself on this one though.
So now I have to go work with another recruitment agency!!

We've translated and adapted it from the original Japanese to Norwegian, given it a new cover, that sort of thing. One down, 13 more to go
