I’ve either been too busy or lazy to update this site on a regular basis these days. I’ll let you decide which and I’ll do a quick update on current stuff. Project type stuff.

Despite my overall laziness, I seem to have been doing a lot from organizing a wrestling gig in my hometown, to making costumes, to writing and script tasks, so this is whats keeping me busy and feel free to give feedback, comments and tell me how good/awful everything is.

First things first, but not particularly in that order.

Fife, the final frontier…
A while ago I was asked if I could orginise a show in my home town, something that turned out to be a non starter for a few years and was held up in discussion and debate. A couple of months ago I got another phone call suggesting SWA come through and I just thought ‘screw it!’ and thankfully, everyone else was on board.

When I started wrestling I only had a few goals set in mind. To get in a ring, done. To be a manager, done. Tag team, done. Title, done. Do the creative thing, done. So now it’s the last goal, do it in front of a home crowd. So I’m highly looking forward to bringing wrestling to the sleepy little town of Kennoway in Fife, where slowly the surrounding areas have offered less and less to do since I was a teenager. I’m really hoping to bring something different and entertaining that night.

So on Saturday May 29th SWA:Source will arrive in the Smart Hall at the heart of the community which will give me a chance to give something back to the community thats raised and supported me in all my insane ventures.

I’ve got the line up sorted, everyone’s confirmed. I need to triple check some people and such before I post it here or on Source/SWA – but Saturday May 29th, Mart Hall, Kennoway, Fife… put it in your calendars, people.

Live! In Colour!
A few people have been asking if they’ve seen my name in the paper. I’ve been giving the stock reply ‘If they said good things, yes. If they said bad things, that was someone else.’ The thing being pointed out to me was from the Herald and a few artsy publications. Which creeps me out considering I’m a foul mouthed git.

There’s not much I can say on the project right now. Rob Drummond is the guy behind it all and he’s brilliant. That kind of insane, evil genius, kind of brilliant. His latest venture was a play which would revolve around the ideas of an audience member, allowing them to fuel his creativity to perform a unique one off play. The guy doesn’t just look for the next gig, he builds himself challenges and the one I’ve got a mention in is no different.

I’m looking forward to figuring out whats what – right now, I have no idea whats happening next.

I’ve also committed myself to a project to make a sit com written by former SGC’er Gary Alexander which revolves around a nice concept that I’m not giving out. But I will say, one of the tasks to tackle is to find a comic book shop that can be used as a location. That… says enough to know half the reason I’m loving the project in these early stages.

Year One
Right, I realised I hadn’t updated anything Year One-ish in a while so I decided to upload a few things I was editing.

Because I’m still hacking pieces together, rewriting and editing, it’s rough as hell – more so than usual, but things are actually happening and the plots moving on and stuff is ready to jump to an intense level.
So… 2.4, 5, 6 & 7 are now online.

I intiially wanted a frantic and confused theme, as well as showing a group of people fed up with their lives and adding in non essential conversation. I realise that can seem muddled, so pretty much as soon as I get it all up online, I’ll be printing it out, adding hand written notes and editing furiously to polish it up and make sure everything fits.

Rewriting it has been hard and confusing and even I lose track of myself, of whats I’ve added/removed without having hours a day to think about it. So… yeah… here’s the first few hundred pages, updates to part 2.7.

Fabrication.
If you’re a Scottish person, or anyone really, that loves Sci Fi you should know about the Sci Fi Scotland forum. If not, why not?

I’ve been posting some of my sewing attempts in this thread, the last updates being a tool belt for the Year One gear and a BSG Colonial officer uniform for Raven Shayde. Which worked out better than expected, despite me almost throwing my sewing machine out the nearest window.

In addition to that, I’ve also been putting wrestling gear together for someone (may have mentioned that before) and am taking requests for custom entrance gear. And for something that’ll make use of the lycra currently sitting in my cupboard.

And somehow this all links to my attempting to figure out photoshop again. I’ve been making test posters for the Fife show to run with Source promotion for the rest of the year and seem to have gotten carried away and made a running theme of…

…I don’t know why…

Anyway, I wanted to add replies to questions people have asked me in email and extend a few comments I made to replies posted here, but I’ve run out of time. For me, Sundays are busy days. Not the day of rest.

Oh – and if anyone’s wondering why there’s a pic of Grace Park up there… I like shameless hits from Google image search.
