Bit part

It's official, me, Dan and Mark are all going to be extras in a wedding video of some sort, Mark hasn't told me many of the details but it sounds like semi decent work an we get paid! We only work for 2 days but it will certainly be a good experience, our first day is on Friday. I also think my cold has hit it's peak today as my nose was dripping like a tap at one point, plus I forgot to bring in a tissue so more cack-handed (quite literally) nose wiping ensued.

I did watch a film today that completely boosted my moods, Harold Lloyd's Safety Last is a 1923 silent comedy immortalized with the image of Lloyd hanging on for dear life on a clock hand. Although we didn't have a DVD copy of the film, with a little searching I found a totally legit Chinese website where I could watch a streamed version of the film, after watching some adverts for some Asian tasty cookies I sat back and really enjoyed what I saw. During some scenes I was laughing out loud, in others, particularly the climax I was cringing at every moment of teased danger keeping me thoroughly engaged and entertained throughout. I would defiantly recommend this one if you are feeling ill, it really lifts your spirits and makes you feel like you have watched an important part of cinema history.
