what have i learnt about blogging in the time i’ve been doing it?
1 it’s best that i make up my own rules
2 i should avoid political rants
3 i should avoid hypothetical issues
4 i like posting lots of pictures
5 generally there’s little feedback.
6 i find it a good way to off load thoughts
7 it’s a good way of making a record
8 now i see i can also make lists on them-a good place to try out stuff
9 i find it better to do a little an often
10 there are so many other blogs it’s difficult to really read anybody else’s, which may account for point 5
11 just because i see connections with words to other contexts, doesn’t mean any body else will
12 i’m best avoiding attempting to write an entry when tired
i’ve been accepted onto the ma digital arts in performance at birmingham city university. i need to engage with it soon as i’m going mental with random thoughts about things to do with it all.
i’m going to be part time, so i can continue engaging with the world around me. as i described today, the end of the ba was like like getting off a bus i’d been on for ages and had no idea where i was. the summer was spent working that out. i don’t want to repeat that experience at the end of the ma.
today i’ve submitted my little film “i’m making this so” to the ted India conference. it’s the first ted conference in india and the first time they’ve invited submissions for the little films between speakers. the theme of the conference is ‘the future beckons’. i’ll add a link to my vimeo page once i’ve up loaded this and another little film, on which i was the editor.
i’m going to attempt to submit a proposal for a short film commission.
i’m very apprehensive about tomorrow’s module discussion. i know it’ll be better once i’ve been through it, if i’m not then i might just have to rethink my extended study plans. that’s me being honest now, for the tape so to speak.
socks and maybe a pint.xx
