'Work' was fine; was a bit late in (I'm the only one there, nobody knew/cares), kept some customers at bay. I see they've directed the company phone number to my mobile now; bit weird, will worry about that in the morning.
Dad's had a 'mediocre day' - I quite like that, he's been so up and down recently, having a nothing day is good for him I think.
The enormity of the cinema release of the film is bugging me a bit. LOT.
Trying to learn the set for Friday's gig, it's folk music, though, I just struggle to get excited by it. 11 songs, that's all it is Paul, 11 songs (and another 7 sat there doing nothing but looking interested). Really good money. 11 songs, she's a big artist - really big, really established, career-wise this could be good for me. But it's folk. There's no drums for like 4 minutes and then there's a lone hi-hat, tapping away.
Long chat with Izzy on the phone, agreed to be in a play that she's producing on Sunday night at the ADC, I'm playing the role of 'David 2'. Sounds cool. She's promised that there will be 'pretty young ladies' there - that's all it takes, really, isn't it? Sadly.
Spent a bit of the afternoon filming with a random American called Tom, who had seen me do stand-up recently and wanted to screen test me for his new comedy creation. The lead character was Clive - a gormless looking man; he thought I'd be ideal. Bit insulted. Fucking nailed the part though. I was awesome.
Got back and invited all of the 'celebs' from the film to the première. LS seem up for it - they're based in Brighton, this could be a waste of their time because they're in it for about 30 seconds (but they're still my favourite band at the moment). GP says he's in France, but is going to plug it on Facebook once I have a ticket link. GP is a world star - I'm so happy, yet a bit scared, by all this.
Sat down and finally watched the final cut of the film, after much re-formatting memory stick madness. I'll be honest; I was so nervous watching the 'final' cut I drank 3 cans of Stella during it...it's only 70 minutes long. So I don't really know if it's any good or not. I mean, I know it's okay - it bobs along nicely enough. Karen is a great editor and she's done amazing things with this footage; it's snappy, it's fun, it's a bit tragic at times, which I like. Is it any good? I DON'T KNOW. I've lost the ability to know if it's funny. Not sure if it's suitable for a massive cinema but I have no choice in the matter, do I? It feels underwhelming, but then again - I was never a good judge of these things.
Losing the plot, just slightly.
