I’ve Seen It All.

February saw me take part in a pretty awesome little project called Tokens Of Affection. The romantic folks over at Ask Her Friends got me to document the little in things in life which make me feel loved, for a whole month. It is actually a really nice thing to look back on, especially on days when I’m feeling a little bit down. I guess that’s the main thing I love about having a ‘lifestyle’ blog, it is essentially just like keeping a diary and I love looking back on older entries. I feel like The Little Blog Of Horrors has been a real slow grower… blossoming at a very steady speed. Which gets me down some days, but when I really think about it I wouldn’t change a thing because everything on here is 100% me. I can’t make myself be someone that I’m not! Here is a montage of my month and if you’re not following me on instagram already then come say hey! > http://instagram.com/hellorogue/

Things have quietened up for me now on the work front. I’ve done a short film, an advert and a music video since 2013 started. So it’s been all systems go since January but now I’ve got a couple of weeks to myself before some other advert work at the end of the month. This means I am selling half of my wardrobe on ebay (help me I’m poor!) catching up with friends and family, going to belfast, getting tattooed and showing my lovely friend Sally around Glasgow when she comes to visit later this week. I already have a wee itinerary planned for us, I can’t wait! ♥ Have any fellow weegies been to the Riverside Museum? I’ve not been yet and was thinking of taking Sally to either there or Kelvingrove Museum. Will be strange being a tourist in my own city for a few days.

Don’t know if any of you are a fan of Jake Bugg, but it was his video for ‘I’ve seen it all’ which I was Art Department on a couple of weeks ago. If you watch carefully you might even catch a cheeky glimpse of my bun hairdoo and geek glasses in the cafe.

Making a cameo appearance wasn’t intentional, but us Art Department folks often get drafted in to weird and wonderful situations when it comes to filming. If I’m honest we were in the middle of a 16 hour day so I was pretty glad just to get a seat and sort out my paperwork 🙂 Great day and amazing wee team though. Mr Bugg is definitely one to watch. Before this little self promotion rant ends, I worked on a two part drama last year which is being screened at 9pm tonight on BBC3. It was quite a powerful script so I’m looking forward to seeing the finished programme.

So after FINALLY getting my macbook all fixed, I also found my 50mm lens for my camera this week that seemed to go walkabout since a trip to Aviemore a few weeks ago. I was really beginning to sweat at the thought of having to replace it 🙁 It hasn’t been my year so far when it comes to electronic items. So thinking I have finally got all my technology under wraps it is now time for my mobile phone upgrade, which is something I may need your opinion on. Here are the main three contenders…

Blackberry z10

  Iphone 5

 HTC One

My current contract is with O2 so I have been surfing their website along with others (because I am really wanting to get a totally unbiased opinion on what phone etc I should go for) I have been a loyal O2 customer for years but my current contract is pretty rubbish and every single month I go over. I use my phone mostly for work so I’m wondering if I would be able to take advantage of a business contract anywhere seeing as I am self employed.

I had actually got John’s old Iphone 4 refurbished at Apple last year, and had been planning on using it until it was time for my new contract but would you believe that the phone has STILL not been unlocked. We processed it around the time of the EE merger, and John is with T-mobile so they were having to unlock it for me to use my O2 sim. Alas, I think phone unlocks were the lowest priority on the list after such a big company change so I’ve got a shiny new refurbished Iphone sitting here that I can’t even use. Now that my contract is up in April I’m just thinking what’s the point. Do I go for a new phone and a new contract and sell the Iphone 4? Or use the Iphone 4, get a better contract than the one I have currently and sell the phone which comes with it. I struggle deciding what cereal to have in the morning so I can see this one bamboozling my brain for the next month too.
