well in lieu of getting arrested for non-attendance, this Friday I phoned up the witness care unit, to find out what'll happen next: before I went toi sign on.

well, the caseworker who'd been dealing with me had been on holiday and then a car crash: and I'm told, I am needed.



All of that before signing on.

And as of yet, I still don't have the money to go.



I did though have a party to look forward to, in the evening, held for the cast and crew of the film I was in, during which we'll ideally see more edited scenes from it.

Just before I left for voluntary work, I’d said goodbye to a few people.

Lotlitamarie had said, “..take care.”

I’d raised an eyebrow and replied, ‘thank you.’

As it transpired, her suggestion to be cautious had been well founded.

The team leaders Mother’s had a stroke and may be dying.

And though we generally cook for about thirty, or so, about fifty turned up, many of them were drunk: and I was serving the meals at the doors.

I don’t think I’ve been sworn at so many times in one evening.

As it is, I’m still wondering whether I’ll be arrested for non-attendance at court next week, as I can’t afford to go: and that’s after I’d been the assured the travel warrant that I need to get there to be a prosecution witness.

It is rare in this life that one can say that you have witnessed history being made.

I think of three occasions ‘off the top of my head’ when I have done so.

The first was the moon landing, which I watched with my classmates, on a televion, specially brought in on castors for us.

The second was when they brought down the Berlin Wall, which I saw on BBC 2 in an extended edition of ‘Newsnight.’

And the third: Today, at tea-time I saw on television, the unveiling of a bronze statue of Nelson Mandela in Parliament Square, near statues of many illustrious Britons.

A humble man, he had dedicated in to the many victims of oppression, particularly in his own country.

I have been fortunate indeed to witness such things, through the medium of television.

Having met someone through VR, whose company I enjoy on VR and Yahoo and with real pleasure, on the phone, I was ever-so disappointed last night.

Of late they’ve taken to suggesting that I join MySpace, not once, or twice, but thrice: and when I’ve explained that their profile is the nearest I’ll get to it, she just repeated its ‘advantages’ to me, all over again; completely disregarding all I have said.

In fact, they’d called me stubborn, which I think is rich, as they’d chosen not to listen to me saying, “you’ve said this all before” then said it all again.

In the end, after a series of messages, where she’d repeated what she’d said on the phone, I been rendered incredulous at the fact she’s chosen to ignore what I’d said, yet again.

And then when I’d said how I’d felt, she’d said I was ‘bitchin.’

If that’s how I was perceived, it was with good cause, after all, she’d been preachin to me, like I’ve experienced a Mormon doing. And that’s just out of order, I think.

Other than my journal, which I go to take pride in, through the stories and poetry I have put out to be read, I take a degree of satisfaction in producing a portfolio with a lot of variety to it, with varied imagery and photographs.

So it was I read the comment left by one young man, in which he informed me I’d been rated low as he couldn’t find anything interesting un my photographs.

Well, out of interest, I checked out his portfolio, two photo’s, that’s all.

Now I’ve never been one for the juvenile machinations of the ratings game played

Some here. But, where this fella was coming from, I just don’t know.

Grant you, I felt slighted.

But, when it comes down to it, I’ve seen what he’d produced in his portfolio and whereas I didn’t rate him as he did me, I do find the ratings game played by some here so incredibly childish.

And that said, I can see why a few people I’ve grown to know have left VR, as some of the individuals here, can be childish little bullies.

‘Bloodrayne’ ~ the film

‘Bloodrayne’ ~ the film



Based on the Majesco video-game, entitled ‘Bloodrayne.’



Bloodrayne is a redhead Dhamypre, wearing a cross: “who only wants to kill vampires,” as she asserts in an early sequence in the movie, which contains strange creatures and traps, associated with the game, the film is loosely based on.



She is in pursuit of the vampire who raped and killed her Mother Rayne is informed, by a tarot-reading gypsy (Geraldine Chaplin.)



There is throughout the movie, the necessary gore quotient and copious blood-letting, as Rayne bands with Vladimir (Michael Madsen) Sebastian (Matt Davis) and Katarin (Michelle Rodriguez) in Brimstone, a secret organization, to aid her in the quest to find the three talismans of Vampire legend: and kill Kagan, who wants to join them for his own purpose, power.



‘Bloodrayne’



Comments:



As my friend John had said, “It has to be good, Michael Madsen is in it.”

Then again, he also asked me, “Have you ever seen a film where Michael Madsen lives?”



As to Ben Kingsely? (or, ‘Ghandi’) what more can I say about one of Britain’s foremost actors? Except, he excelled as Kagan, the Vampire Father of Bloodrayne.



Incidentally, Meatloaf, the singer has a role in the film, as a somewhat salacious Vampire, surrounded by naked young women.

As I noted his name in the cast list, I noted the surname he used, ‘Aday.’

Kristanna Loken

Michael Madsen

Matt Davis

‘The Void’

‘The Void’



Later this year, (in November 2007) the large Hadron Collinder will be fired up. The film ‘The Void’ shows Amanda Tapping (Stargate) as the daughter of the man who dies in an early particle accelerator experiment. Adrian Paul plays the man she uses to infiltrate the Filodyne Corporation run by Malcolm McDowell’s character, who is seeking to repeat it.

The film suggests the nightmare scenario of what may happen – suggesting that we’re either to be blown up, or have all life consumed by a black hole.

As the films plot unfurls through a series of sinister events, there are intrigue and deaths, as she tries to prevent the experiment-taking place.



‘The Void’



Comments:



The film seems like an excuse to provide a vehicle for Ms. Tapping, since the demise of Stargate and Adrian Paul (Highlander- the t.v. series) in a story based loosely on what could be man’s downfall, presented in a story that tries to be a thriller, yet isn’t very thrilling.



The film does give Ms. Tapping the opportunity to try and change her ‘Stargate’ image, with a kit-off scene with Adrian Paul, whilst giving her the opportunity to ‘save the world’ in true ‘Stargate’ fashion, once again: and, heroically push Mr.Paul, in a wheelchair through flames, as they attempt their escape.

Amanda Tapping

Thirty years since the death of ‘the King:’ and I still recall well how I found out that he’d died. My brother had a habit of listening to the radio beneath bedcovers and so heard the news, before I had. In fact, he’d heard about the death of Elvis Presley as I’d slept, then dashed into my room, shouted, ‘Elvis is dead!’ then rushed out.

Aren’t little brothers great?



I wrote this memory recalled, just before watching Elvis and Anne Margaret dancing together in ‘Viva Las Vegas,’ which led me to remember why I liked him so much.

Man, did he have screen presence, a marvellous voice and smouldering eyes: and Anne Margaret was pretty good, as well.

After awhile on the pc and a very bright day and after hassle with Yahoo messenger I had a bad migraine: then when I got back to VR all the people I’d been wanting to talk to had gone.

Well, in the end I went to bed very thoughtful, as I did have a very interesting chat later that night.

I’d picked up on something said in the Vampbox and tried to be pleasant to someone, who I later learnt calls themselves an ‘Emo.’

Now call me naïve, but up until last night, I thought that was this ere labelled manic-depressive was an ‘Emo,’ being short for emotional.

Then I found out from someone I respect, that Now, Emo are those who threaten to hurt themselves, if they don’t get their own way.

As I say, I’m a depressive and find that intolerable. I have a neighbour just diagnosed with bowel cancer and these ‘kids’ threaten to cut themselves for gain.

All I can say is that we’ve given them so much, over the years, they Now expect whatever they want, whenever they want and if they don’t get it, they threaten to cut themselves.



Funny, when I tried to kill myself I didn’t tell anyone about it, or threaten to do it.

I’d been on VR rather too long and thought I’d missed putting out the milk bottle.

So having shut down the computer I’d dashed through to the kitchen, where I’d made my Earl Grey for the morning, locating the medicine dispensing cap, with the money in I’d need for our door step delivery.

Before I went to put the money out, I had eased the curtain aside, to look out at the moonlit front lawn.

A movement caught my eye, a small dark shape, scuttling slowly across the drive then into the shadows created by the tree on the verge. The hedgehog kept to the shadows, snuffling its nose in the early morning dew, as it walked across grass.

Having put the money in the empty milk bottle, I put the plastic cap on top and then opened the front door and had put the bottle out in the loop my Fathers attached to the wall and then retired to bed.

As I lay there, waiting for sleep to come to me, I heard the clatter of milk bottles just outside, as the milkman left a bottle for us and I’d looked at the clock: it was eight minutes past two, in the morning.

Now I know what time he makes his weekly delivery.

Friday



It’d been a day full of bitter-sweet moments, from the moment I woke up, to the moment I sat down at 11:32 to write my final journal entry for the shoot.

I’d woken at 7:00 a.m., instead of the 6:00 I had done; in order to go to the dole, where it was reinforced to me, just how foolish honesty can be, when you say something like “I’m going to be filling for two weeks” in the dole and don’t get the appropriate form to fill in.

Then, once home, with a cold coffee inside me, I’d got my last lift off my Dad to the shoot, where there’d been little to do, except clean-up; tidy up; and clean a stove, while a few others shot a few remaining scenes.

And then, there’d been the after-shoot party, an impromptu affair, that will definitely have led to a few sore heads the next day: but boy, it’d been such a good way to end the week, or so! I had a good weekend myself… and although kept saying, “I don't do sociable”, I did though…

And I I shot my final scene after several small delays, one aircraft, and then another went overhead, spoiling the shoot.

Funny thing is, compared to the zombies, it doesn’t take too long to do me in make-up: and it’s them who call me weird!
