Dissertation Distractions? Yes plx



Its just goes on and on and on, you think you've written a good 1000 words but the word count only says 462, maybe its not counting the spaces, or its lying to me, either way i just want it to be over so I can hand it in and be done with it ! I wanna go play in flash and make pretty things and move and shine and do shiny stuff when you click on them!

Essay Status:
01. Introduction - First draft done, needs looking over
02. What are comics books - Currently writing, 2 more sections then its a first draft (but I'm happy with it)
03. History of comics films - First draft done, I think I need link it to the next chapter
04. Re-emergence of comic films - First draft done, link it back to the last section
05. Reasons why they're becoming popular - First draft needs to be done, 3-4 sections to complete
06. Case study - Need to compare the two films and add my questionnaire results into it
07. Summary - need to start

So a fair bit to do, but at the same time i'm almost at the stage where I have a complete first draft, I just need to stop procrastinationing.... I blame her

Flash test

Well today I had my first proper flash lessons and it was oh so fun, so much so I thought I'd go home and try out some of the things I learnt and how they could be applied. So this lil bit does has buttons on it, but well, I kind forgot the action code I needed and where I needed to put it... -coughs-







.... yey xD

New Website Evil Essay

Thats right folks a new website is underway and nearing completion, just got to find some free time to photograph my work and then upload it all.




Which brings me to the second part of this post... my Extended essay.... oh the woo's. Don't get me wrong I have an awesome essay subject, "The reasons behind why graphic novels are becoming films" the problem is writing the damn thing... I did always wonder why they get us to start our final major project the same time our Extended Essay needs to be written.

Maybe Batman will save me...

Black Holes?

Huzzah its here ! after a day and a bit of slaving over this I finally handed this in (to add to this lil story I had just got back from america, this video went through two complete changes before it settled on this one and in the typical student style it was completed 2hrs before the hand in)


Black holes from Graham Mossop on Vimeo.

So you wanna learn about black holes? well this is me trying to teach you... good luck xD

Well that was America

Sooooooo~~ I spent Christmas and new year over in America. And it was awesome ! I did so much whilst I was over there, lets see, I went to Elizabeth town, Louville, Radclift, Ohio and Cincinnati.

However~! I wont bore you with a long post about it, instead it will be an up and coming project. I took a video camera with me and filmed everywhere i went (well when i remembered to take my camera) I'll get around to editing all the clips together into some form of a movie so you can see
