Procrastination. Laziness. They go hand in hand really, don't they? The moment their hands touch, is the beginning of the spiral into nothingness. And guilt. You always feel guilty when doing nothing.
So that concoction is the reason why I haven't posted in so long. But I've become sick of doing nothing and as an aspiring writer I need to write. Even if no one reads it or even if it's plain old drivel. This is just a post to get me back into the flow of things.
Since I last posted, I did a few things. Here's a quick catch up.
September to October
I was still in Iran.
November
The beginning of procrastination in London.
December
I went to Iran again. That time by aeroplane and by myself. Stayed there for the whole of December and got back to London on NYE. I was making my way home from Stansted Airport when the clock struck midnight. Fun.
January
From the beginning of January I started rehearsals for a production of Romeo and Juliet. I played Benvolio and there were six performances at the end of the month. It went pretty well. I managed to cry on stage which I'm pretty proud of.
Saw Coriolanus at the Donmar Warehouse. Yes, the one with Tom Hiddleston in the titled role.
February (so far)
Went to see Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip at the Koko with support acts Itch and Sarah Williams White.
Saw The Wolf of Wall Street and Twelve Years a Slave in the cinema. I would definitely recommend both films. The former being a good one if you want a fast paced, energetic, funny and well written film to watch. The latter being a good one if you want a more serious film to watch. The cinematography was beautiful, the screenplay was well written, the actors were superb, and certain scenes were very well executed. Definitely one of the most evocative films I've seen.
So what am I generally doing to fill my time these days? I'm applying for short film auditions and sales assistant jobs. Got an audition coming up soon but no luck with the job hunting yet.
Hopefully the next blog won't take too long to conjure.
