Mike’s New Year List 2010 - 2011
SO YEAH it’s that time of year again. I realise I haven’t posted much of anything this month but I have my reasons - I have been working towards certain projects - and hopefully I will be able to resume normal service shortly.
So, for the uninitiated, here is a round-up of all the things I want to make short lists about and are rarely followed through on a year-to-year basis. I’m probably the only one reading it anyway.
Top 6 Restaurants At Which I Ate:
4. L’Escargot Blanc, Edinburgh
5. Le Galipo, Paris
Top Television Series’ I Watched:
1. Boardwalk Empire
2. Fringe
3. This is England ‘86
4. Friday Night Lights
5. Coppers
Most Memorable Events in No Particular Order:
I bought two cars. In a month. A year ago the combined cost of these would have been over 2 years salary. The second one was because the first one was a dud and the engine popped.
Left my part time job and made a go of it as a freelancer. Despite this going well, I got the Fear and thought I would never get a job. I applied for three to test the water and was offered all of them.
Lived in London for a while, really enjoyed it there and it’s something I will do again, at some point.
Completed Uni successfully, ended up graduating as a cinematographer.
Got lots of freelance contracts, recently have decided to start my own digital agency (got a name and sites..), all in good time.
I really should have more to talk about but I need to get up early to go to Inverness for a pretty exciting Hogmany.
Top Goals from Last Year
1. Make a really decent degree film - Kinda done.
2. Advance in the photography world - done.
3. Hit the gym. Hard - done. Sorta.
4. Write some stuff - done.
5. Have a Ghostbusters Party (both movies + Real GB cartoons) and invite girls listed above - fail. Nightmare.
Goals for 2011
1. Hit my financial target.
2. Move into a nice place, in Stockbridge maybe.
3. Sort out my digital agency.
4. Advance in the television world.
5. Go back to being as skinny as I was a few years ago.
6. Produce some really good work.
