happy thanksgiving......gobble, gobble

hello everyone, its wednesday afternoon and i'm taking a break from work (shh......don't tell Sam). so, tomorrow is one of my favorite holidays and i don't get to spend it with my family or friends, but i do get to go to a friggin great concert (i'm trying to convince myself that the concert makes up for it). i am going to a Zero 7 concert, which are one of my favorite groups at the moment. anyway, i am a little bummed about not being able to be home for Thanksgiving, eating all my fav foods: turkey, stuffing, potatoes, a lovely relish tray, Anderson Ericson chocolate milk, and of course the great conversation with family and friends. at least one of my friends here, who is from Virginia, is going to have a nice Thanksgiving feast saturday night with tons of people....so, i guess that'll be cool. the only thing is that i hope i am able to find a pumpkin pie at a grocery store around here, i don't think its too popular around here.

i attended Video School this past weekend up north in Bushey sponsered by a media group called CTVC. i must say, it was not exactly what i thought it was going to be like and it was really tough and stretching, but incredibly worth it in the end. i was put in the intermediate group (which sort of scared me at first, but it turns out it was the right thing to do) and then broken up into two groups of 3. each group was given a brief about a certain situation we were to make a documentary or news report on. it didn't seem to bad at first, until we really got into it and i realized how much stuff goes into shooting a news report/documentary. we had to come up with the concept, then plan exactly what we were going to shoot and where we were going to shoot it in order to bring across our concept. anyway, long story slightly shorter, it was a really great experience and i really feel like its increased my confidence behind the camera; which is nice. well, i must get back to work, have some turkey and watch some football for me tomorrow my fellow Americans. i am incredibly looking forward to seeing some of you in about a month.....i can't wait!
