Hard at work
December 10th 2001 -
I worked on Saturday, then went to Ryan, Edwin and Ben’s housewarming thing with Anna – unfortunately it was nerd-talk all evening, so she got bored silly despite our best efforts. Still, we agreed to make lots of short films and submit them for the tropfest and our very own film festival, to be held in either their back yard (which has a nice big white wall for projecting, if we can get a video projector) or at our place on our big TV. I think I’ve pretty much booked my entire holidays now…

You thought I’d got bored of it, hadn’t you? Nuh-uh. I’m up to second place on the challenge ladder, and just lost a challenge for first place *sob*. On the other hand, I broke my practice record: 15 balls in 15 shots. All due to a remarkable break – the first shot didn’t break up the pack very well (but did sink a ball), I potted a ball on the second shot, which left the white right next to the pack. So I smacked it straight into the thick of things, and watched as four balls just fell into pockets. The rest of the game was very tense, as I tried not to blow this amazing lead – and I (just) held on! I don’t think *this* record will be broken in a hurry! Still, I might experiment with feeble breaks then power shots for the second hit…
