Slog #6: When Magnus met Marit

In answer to a Formspring question, I tell the (probably boring to most people) story about how I met my wife. I think I’ll keep doing my answers as slogs, actually.

Slog #2
I’ve been struggling with the online service Chirbit for my slogs, but it’s having huge teething trouble for recording through the browser. I wanted to do browser uploading because I wanted to make it as easy as possible to do [...]

Sound log, aka Slog?!

I’m trying out something new. It takes me ages to write these updates, so I tend to end up not doing them if I’m a bit tired. As such, I’ve been thinking it might help if all I have to do is record a bit of audio right there on my browser and then use [...]

Day off

Saturday today, day off! Woop woop!
I went to Tae Kwon Do today, looking forward to sweating it up and kicking the shit out of those cushions. Sadly, the instructor couldn’t come and it was cancelled. Oh well. I did manage to get some cardboard boxes and paint for the track/dolly project, though.
Also, while waiting for [...]

WoWing it up.

Not a VERY fruitful day.
I played World of Warcraft (not on my netbook) and exercised. I was going to read one of my books on screenwriting, but kind of never got to it. I also forgot to go to my counselling session, which annoys the fuck out of me.
For a while, I’ve wanted a Macbook [...]

Applying myself

I was up early today. We had to measure up a “studio” (they call it a studio, but it’s more a teaching room with loads of sockets.) for an assessment two weeks from now. To get out of there before classes (for other people) were due to start, we had to be there at nine. [...]

Workin’ It

Busy day today, even though I don’t feel like I’ve done much. I think it has partly to do with the fact that I was “late” out of bed, so I didn’t have my usual leisurely morning before uni, and also the fact that I didn’t do MANY things.
Had a dolly workshop (A dolly is [...]

Keeping my Grade

I got some writing done in the morning, so I’m very happy about that. I’ve almost finished the first draft by now, after which I will location scout a bit on Wednesday (looking for willing coffee booth owners in Edinburgh, etc) and do some analysing of my own script (along with others) to see if [...]
