23 cases in the last couple days in the state of Victoria here (I don't live there but I have a few mates that do).. Looks like a full lockdown will occur today/tonight.. It's the usual flare up's here- someone comes back home to Australia from overseas - very frustrating.

Very pleased with myself I managed to get a lot done on two new creative projects last night and today! I was feeling a lot of brain fog from my cold earlier today and didn’t think I would get anything done but I did in the end😊

Today in the writers group I am in I shared a new piece that I just started writing yesterday and it went over extremely well! They all said how laugh out loud funny it was and someone even said it was leaps and bounds beyond anything I had ever written and how amazing I was at getting in other people’s heads and I made him care about a genre he didn’t normally like😊 I was incredibly flattered and the group also gave me some really good feedback on how to make it even better!😀
I have a very good feeling about this particular piece!🤞😊

Yesterday I had my first Covid jab and, well, with some waves of nausea and a couple 'dizzy spells', my reaction to it today honestly wasn't as bad as I was expecting...

We've just had a comment on our Take On Me video saying they'd been directed to by the latest DWM. Could someone with access to the magazine please let me know if that's actually true, because if it is then it's definitely made my day!

Drunken Master 2, a lazy US Warner Archives release, contains only original English dub & not the Jackie Chan redub in the Miramax version as well as inaccurate subtitles.
Looks well 88 Films & Eureka are doing amazing restorations of Chans back catalogue & yet a big company like Warner churn out this bare bones p.ss poor effort.

My anger seems be outweighing my grief as the realization of my dads passing affecting me now.
To not be with him on his final days, to speak only via telephone & not say a final goodbye due to us both having Covid i like many feel cheated & robbed, there are questions i want answers too like why did bloodtests & X rays on Christmas Eve not show up his heart & kidney failure, his results were good apparently & not testing him for covid when he came home 2nd January when he had it & then infected me just makes my blood boil.
Over years i done many types meditation control my moods & depression but at the moment nothing is helping me get rid of this anger I'm experiencing, i know many others have experienced the same situation but doesn't help ease my anger.

Looks well 88 Films & Eureka are doing amazing restorations of Chans back catalogue & yet a big company like Warner churn out this bare bones p.ss poor effort. Warner Archives have almost no budget for anything not already in their vaults and off the shelf. They're owned by Warners, yes, but they don't get a budget from them that allows more than what they ultimately release. Arrow, Eureka, 88 etc get to keep their own revenue - Warner Archive get their revenue taken by the parent company and then a small amount goes back to them to keep going. They've just been sold to Amazon US for distribution - WB didn't want to bother with such small potatoes anymore. For me they've done the Lord's work - so many titles from them would just be sitting in the vault otherwise - even biggies from Bogart and Hitchcock. Noir like Out Of The Past. Hammer films like Satanic Rites Of Dracula (restored for the first time ever) and When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth. Films like Night Moves, Freebie & The Bean or Scarecrow that no-one else would be putting out. An Amicus horror fave with From Beyond The Grave. Ongoing series of wonderful animation restorations like the original Popeye shorts and Tex Avery's work. I just got one of their latest releases yesterday - Another Thin Man, the third Thin Man film they've done (in order) which looks stunning.

The print is good i just don't know why they didn't release the Jackie Chan redub that he recorded for the Miramax release, there's a sh.t storm rant on blu ray com about the release. You know i love my Hong Kong movies, Eureka are releasing two Sammo classics Encounters Of A Spooky Kind & Millionaire Express June & August. Currently watching Eureka Blu ray of One Armed Boxer with Jimmy Wang Yu, the restoration & PQ of this release is stunning. 88 Films releasing Half Loaf Kung Fu & Armour Of God at some point in 2021 i just hope Drunken Master 2 gets the release it deserves one day in UK for now the US version have to do. Oh & John Woos's Once A Thief, Hard Boiled, The Killer & A Better Tomorrow 1 & 2 be nice if they had future UK blu ray releases one day.

Working more the piece I shared in my writing group yesterday, and today I wrote something that made me laugh so hard as I was typing it that I started crying and fell over😂 hopefully others will think it’s just as funny🤔😉
I really hope something happens with this piece because it feels like it’s getting better and better!😀🤞

It sounds as though you've found a good group. Stick with it. This sounds leaps and bounds away from the tension you had prior to submitting... The Project tm.

It sounds as though you've found a good group. Stick with it. This sounds leaps and bounds away from the tension you had prior to submitting... The Project tm. Thanks I have been with them for a while! They’re very supportive of me and we all take turns reading roles in each other’s works and then critiquing each other! We all met through a virtual audio drama writing class 😊 I think I have felt a lot more relaxed with this piece because it feels smaller, kind of silly and it just came to me 🤔😊Its a little idea I have been curious to play around with for a while now😉 Unfortunately I could not share and ask for feedback on The Project TM with my writing group before submitting it. As The Project TM is something I have to be a bit more private about what it actually contains and entails if I want it to happen 😉 I hope the piece I am working on now and The Project TM might both happen 🤞 Slowly realizing that a lot of the things that I write have very similar tropes and themes to each other 🤔 In fact two of them I think could take place in the same universe that I created 🤔😊

I think you have a wonderful gift for helping people to see things in a ways they usually wouldn't. I'm so glad to hear things are going so well for you!
