According to my membership info, I've rented 385 dvds since becoming a dad. I'll go in to what I've watched at some point, probably with pin-point summaries as the list is far too long to write detailed reviews. But lets go back to that number. 385.
How is this possible?
Before becoming a Dad, I was a video editor, a film maker, a script writer, always on the go with various projects on the boil. When my daughter was born, it was a life-changing experience in many ways. The big plan was that my wife would return to her office job whilst I would look after the baby and fit work in when I could, in the evenings and at weekends.

Seeing how babies sleep lots (at least to begin with), turns out its quite amazing how many films you can watch (providing you're not doing anything more important/creative with your time). The plan to work while she slept didn't quite always work. Its hardly news that looking after a child is tiring, but I had no idea it would be this tiring. So any free time became viewed as 'down time' also known as 'Monging'; time to be still, relax, stare in to space, recoup for the next onslaught...
It took a long time to snap out of this. In fact, I'm not sure if I've snapped out of it fully, as I now try to stay up late now and then to squeeze a movie in, but I've rallied myself to realise that if I am to indeed build a large extension on my house for more babies to live in, I need to sell a script. Pronto. And probably more than just one.

So here's my blog, something I will occassionally update as its better to be writing something than nothing - and its easier to dip into this kind of stuff and keep the creative slosh a-pumpin'. Its also going to serve as something to look back on, and hopefully will chart some kind of progression (uphill preferably, God!)
