Ben - Still making things

My sister asked for a DVD cabinet in the shape of the TARDIS for Christmas.


It took longer than I expected. The outside was easy, but the inside took a lot of doing.

Ben - All done

In the last couple of weeks I finished all my work and did my one and only exam.

On a more interesting level, I built a set of shelves. This took a long time. I finally admitted to myself that power tools are less useful than they are fun, and bought a chisel. This made things go a lot faster.


I've also been teaching in a three day video production course for primary students. The Uni paired up primary education students with film students, and it went pretty well, overall. I've seen my group's film, I get to see them all on Friday.

For now, I'm going home to a plate of spaghetti, three longnecks of Resches and Dr. Who and the Silurians. I think I've earned it.

Ben - You Will Obey Me

Not much over the weekend - a little work, a little gardening, a lot of slacking. But THE high point of the new Dr. Who series - Derek Jacobi as the Master! Derek Jacobi... The Master. And he did it right - he's a great actor, but he knew that when you're playing the Master, you don't skimp on the ham.

And then they killed him off and had him regenerate! God damn it! All I can say is that the new guy had better be bloody good.
