Jan. 27th, 2012 07:38 pmWas a bit under a cloud today. No particular reason why, everything was just very grey and bleh. Maybe it's because I was so marvellously productive yesterday (got SO MUCH work done I was AMAZED) that today was always going to be a comedown. Or maybe it's because that brief sense of "Yeah go me! Look at all the stuff I've finally done!" only lasts a short time before mountains more Effing spreadsheet data piles up before me once more. It is the time-consuming nature of it that makes it so unremittingly dull.
My readings for my next module should be available from Monday, however, so that's something to look forward to. A chance to give the brain a bit of a stretch. I also finished The Masters of Sitcom: From Hancock to Steptoe about Ray Galton and Alan Simpson. It was interesting. I have a love of stories about writers, and also am very fond of BBC Comedy- Hancock, Steptoe and Son and all of their kind of ilk (The Navy Lark, Round the Horne, Beyond Our Ken, Dad's Army, 'Allo 'Allo, Open All Hours etc etc). It was mostly a series of extracts from scripts- many of whom the original recordings the Beeb taped over and no one has heard/seen since their first broadcast. It was quite fun and I spent a lot of time reading out the 'good bits' to Nanny and Mum on occasions. It does I think require at least some knoweldge of the title programmes though. Otherwise it would be so hard to imagine the right voices!
