6th June - completed laying down text
¦ dialling in from the sky bunker ¦
3.30 pm Wednesday 6th June. I've reached the end of laying down text on Yellow Dawn (2nd ed). Have now started process of reviewing the text on each page, inserting images from Amy Armstrong and preparing it for publication. Fingers crossed should have it done by the end of the weekend. Too brain frazzled to really comprehend the achievement. Just looking forward to being able to switch off when it's all done.
Exciting progress with the Baraka project, I've been asked to be an associate creative and I'm finally seeing some work coming my way I can get my teeth into. Could be the next 'big thing' on the Internet.
Was also excited by the trailer for the new Bourne film. I caught the trailer yesterday, when I went to see Zodiac. I grew up on Bourne, and all Ludlum novels... and I've been thrilled to the very bone by how well the film production has captured the essence of Ludlum perfectly, whilst shifting the context to the 21st Century. I am also deliriously happy to discover UNKLE have done the soundtrack: i could not think of a more absolutely perfect ensemble.
However, I end on a grim note. The logo for the 2012 Olympics. It's an absoluter disgrace. 400,000 GBP for a piece of utter rubbish that looks like it's the product of a stuffed gorilla falling from a pedestal clucthing a can of pink paint and a stencil set. They've now discovered the logo is triggering epilepsy in some people. 400,000. Four hundred THOUSAND. It's cronyism at its most obvious and it would strike me that "Lord" Coe has become a backseat crook? Anyway I've signed an online petition against it, demanding it be removed.
