Salina, I hate those people, and that's why I haven't been back for ages. I'm not terribly interested in the fate of the classical music programmes, though I think it is terribly sad that many of my friends are probably getting fired.
I think the uni should have bought my script if they were that desperate to develop it.
Writing on spec has a few advantages, and one of those is the 'screw you' attitude. I was very heartened by the Utu screening to continue my Shipwrecked movie.

I don't want to be told how to write a novel. It's not a novel, anyway -- it's a bunch of interconnected chapters sandwiched between all the other junk.
I reckon the book should have the same structure as the RP Orgy, but on the page.

I'm not very keen to be *the* queen anymore, Tory. I think people should respect my mental health struggles more, rather than thinking they can 'fix/save me' by making my life like an episode of Extreme Home Makeover.
That's bullshit thinking, and it hasn't really helped with my anxiety or my mood. I'm not well: last weekend was quite intense, and I've been depressed all week. Maybe I should've had the trip. I vaguely regret that, but I think I wasn't massively keen to trip with a bunch of old guys.
I think my alternative parliamentary commentary idea is good, and my radio plays -- the Perfumed Garden and Shipwrecked. The live video is my elaborate idea.

hate is a strong word. But I'm a flamboyant queen, so I use strong language.
The whole obsession with redemption and resurrection motifs is so American. I think life is messier and the documentaries capture that.
