  Hay Fever

  06.06.08 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  Once every year like a large percentage of people I get Hayfever which for those that don’t get it is like “having an allergy to peanuts and then having someone force feed you peanuts for a month”. Fine maybe its not that bad but I suffer from it pretty severely.

  It appears that its just kicked in over the last few days and I’ve got a least a month until it starts to wear off. Luckily for me I have little to no work left on the table. Talking off work the photo’s from my end of year show will be up and although overall the quailty is better there are a few pieces of work that equal last years abysmal showing from the year above. It was some seriously bad stuff.

  Any who enjoy the Hay Fever

  This blog needs more pictures.

  Britain’s Got A Lack Of Originality

  06.01.08 | Permalink | 3 Comments

  I’ll be the first to admit that I haven’t been watching this years Britain’s Got Talent ITV’s Cash Cow but I’ve been checking out the final acts and I’ve noticed that the final two acts aren’t very ‘new’ albeit entertaining.

  Take the winner, one George Sampson. Dude can dance and put on an entertaining segment but does anyone remember the Volkswagen advert from a few years back? He used the same song and even used a few moves from that advert. The similarity’s are too close for them to be unrelated meaning at some point between the first time he was on the show he must have seen the ad and basically copied it. It would be like me going on the show and playing keepy uppy with an animated stick figure to the tune of N.E.R.D. Ok maybe it isn’t the same but you know what I mean, it would be talented and entertaining (until the animators can’t keep up with the pace of drawing live) but it would hardly be original.

  The dudes who came second were basically Micheal Jackson impersonators and although again they where very talented and entertaining, its hardly original. They where also asked on the first showing “what else do you guys do?” they basically replyed “we do more stuff” or something along those lines. They then did basically the same thing three times over. WTF! Why didn’t nobody call them on this.

  I guess I’ve missed a few bits where they might have admitted to these…. Shortcomings for lack of a better term, in between the clips on Youtube. Until I get told otherwise I’m calling this show on its lack of originality.

  Maybe this is just my inner-design-critic coming out or something.

  Either that or my lack of eventful thoughts to post about.

I guess here I post nothing of real interest but people are meant to have blogs now and I've been sporadically blogging on this one for coming up to two years. Thanks for checking out the site.
