Why Can’t All Workplaces Be This Much Fun?
First Day
My very first day in my new job as a Multimedia Developer and the first thing that blows my mind is my workstation.
I’m presented with this and this. Having a total workplace of 40 inches isn’t too bad for a Univeristy graduate.
Workload so far seems to be fairly full-on with deadlines already set so I’ve got loads of work to keep me busy. The best thing is I’ll eventually be moving into video production and that’s where the real excitement begins for me.
I also quit my old job and maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan did that feel good. I compared the experience to Andy Defresne from The Shawshank Remdemption “crawling to freedom through five-hundred yards [or five years in my case] of shit smelling foulness you couldn’t even imagine”. I even planned to take a photo of myself, in the rain from above, parallelling that symbolic cinematic moment. It was a beautiful feeling.

Jaden Smith is the new Karate Kid
I LOVE the first film so this is sacrilege. Plus Jaden is only 10 years old! Why not just make a different movie altogether? Via comingsoon.

Wall-E
Ultimately charming and heart-warming Pixar effort is a sheer delight from start to finish. Homage's to 2001, E.T and all your favourite childhood Sci-Fi movies are plentiful and just to realise so much emotion from an animated robot that hardly talks throughout the entire movie is a feat in itself. The Blu-ray version will be stunning!50 Amazing Gig Posters
