Milk paton yeah!

Today I had a day off so I spent the first part of the day sorting more stuff out for moving. Biggest thing was phoning sky; after a long conversation with sales about what we wanted, what it would cost, etc, etc, it turned out we couldn't put it through because the first person I spoke to had done something wrong, blocking any changes to the account for the rest of the day.

This afternoon I went down to Drew's to do "filming" for my part in Milk Paton. It's not exactly filming because it consist of posing for a few photos; Milk Paton is done in a style I have never seen elsewhere, with a mixture of computer-enhanced surroundings, animated photos of people and occasional live-action elements. It's very hard to explain but is very unique when seen completed. It's a small part so my end of the deal didn't take long but it will be the beginning of hours of work on the computer for Drew as the visual effect is the result of an awful lot of fiddling around with various softwares. Once this was done we walked to the chippy where I was ashamed to find myself ordering a battered mars bar. Due to this I abandoned my chance of a lift home with Dad and cycled home to try and quell the clogging up of my arteries.

This evening I did very little worth mentioning. The only notable point is that on The Vault they had a No Doubt through the years program which was amazing because they're one of my favourite bands. It ran right through to Gwen Stefani's more recent solo songs, including 'what you waiting for' which I was horrified to find out was released a whole six years ago. They also played today's song of the day; It's my life. It's amongst my favourite songs of all time and I know it's a cover but I much prefer this version to the original. Gwen Stefani's voice is great and I absolutely love the little guitar riff that plays before the chorus.
