Subhuman Banter.

Today I was due to be at work but I woke up feeling pretty awful so I did not go in. I spent the morning generally lazing around, watching the Crystal Maze and I learnt a piano solo of Unicron's Theme from the original Transformers Movie by Vince DiCola. It's a much slower piece than the upbeat ones I have mentioned on here and it is extremely dramatic with really unusual sounds. These make it perfect for piano and I really like playing something relatively easy but written in such a way that if you add power to it in the style you play it, it sounds really good. I plan on getting a better set-up sorted out in my room at the new house so I can start recording some of these songs on piano and putting them on youtube.

In the afternoon I got a phonecall from Drew and I went down to his for the day: the main reason people were there was Darroch filming his parts for Milk Paton, which is really shaping up to be awesome. Steven appeared later on and the highlight of the day was Darroch being completely soaked in cold water in order to film a rainy scene: there is no effect Drew can do with his after-effects wizardry to simulate wetness. I have every right to laugh now because sometime in the next few weeks I'll be filming a part for it and I will also be drenched for the same reason.

This evening I was gutted that Cameroon were knocked out of the World Cup purely because their name is just like mine.

The best part of the evening was finding the track that I'll have as song of the day: it's a mashup of Lady Gaga - Telephone and Sex Pistols - God Save the Queen. It's just as odd as it sounds but in a bizarre, quite funny way, it actually works out quite well.
