Promo for The Roxy’s Halloween Special

   Posted by: Leighton   in Uncategorized

I did a promo for a friend up in the Lake district – hi Larry – for the cinema he is involved with – The Roxy in Ulverston.

There are doing a special Halloween showing of the exorcist.

It was also an excuse to play around with After Effects.

Hit the link below – not quite worked out how to do streaming video straight form the blog yet…

Something that made me a little sad

   Posted by: Leighton   in Grumbles and fancies

When I was out walking Bella dog yesterday in the common a fellow dog walker motioned me over to see a fascinating site. A swarm of bees were gathered all round on a very small sapling huddling together to keep the queen warm I suppose.

It was quite a site – nature being all amazing and all.

This morning it appears someone has decided to chop down the sapling, thus ridding the world the danger of a group of bees minding their own business a couple of meters away from a path.

They were in a common. The common is a nature reserve. Those bees would only have posed a threat if you decided to go up to them and shake the little tree. We need bees. They are one of the best things for the countryside. They make it beautiful and pollinated and they do unbelievably cool things like gather together on a tiny tree all to protect themselves as a whole. Bees aren’t doing so well at the moment.

I hate the person who cut down that tree. I hope the bees seek them out when they are sleeping, and sting them all the way to Anaphylactic shock, the stupid, ignorant, idiot.

Obviously if it were wasps then it’d be different – they’re evil.

Footnote.

It has occurred to me that it is possible someone took the bees to add to a hive, like a bee keeper type. In the interests of making me feel the world is a better place I am going to choose to believe this scenario.

Power Songs

   Posted by: Leighton   in fitness, Music

Okay – so a while back when I actually went to the gym I did the whole listen to my ipod while exercising thing.

I has my own power song and everything. Not deliberately mind – it just came on when I was rowing and I knew it was the one. I nearly had a heart attack from how hard I had got into it.

And what was this song – Feint by Linkin Park.

Image listening to it while exercising on a rowing machine – just right energy level to collapse a lung…

They keep coming. I like how this one makes a sociological statement as it mashes up a big fat one…
