Lunchtime talks with Wendy

My friend Sarah and I filmed a short sketch I'd written on the weekend. Here are some stills (a sneek peek if you will) of this piece!! My make-up is meant to be rather wild, Wendy is the type who is a little overenthusiastic with lipstick and blusher. Ive been there before.

She Devil

Even the synopsis for the film is hilarious 

"Housewife and mother Ruth Patchett (Roseanne Barr), an overweight and unkempt woman vows revenge on her husband....."

The divine comedy

This video is very funny!

How can you leave me on my own

THE DIVINE COMEDY

Edinburgh

My festival experience included: Tattie scones, Ceilidh dancing, performing in a cave, flyering on the Royal Mile, seeing shows, drinking whiskey, Vegetarian haggis, karaoke, meeting Vicki Pepperdine (a comedy idol of mine), midnight feasts, candlelit dinners, being asked to leave a circus tent, sleeping in a grand four poster bed, having ice cream factory at pizza hut, sitting in an audience for a show while my friend James was straddled by the performer beside me and getting to perform in a fully sold out show!

Happy Xmas

Now it is Christmas I decided to post a video I was in when I was 15. It features the contestants from the show 'Pop Idol' in the UK and Simon Cowell who happily plays with the switchboard.

I used to be embarrassed by this video as I look like a geek and can see my braces...but I think enough time has passed now and I finally think this video is funny

The Damiana Files

I recently found this video and had to share it here

"I may have worn this to an audition for Psycho 3.. which I did not get"
HAA

I am having the best day...watching all the Damiana episodes

Last night our 7ft Christmas tree fell over... today I should be putting it back up and repairing the broken baubles but oops... along came Damiana

Little and Large

  TORTOISE TIME

 An invitation to a childrens birthday party 

which led to a wonderful encounter with 2 tortoises by the names of

  'little' and 'large'.

With their prehistoric appearance and graceful movements, 

these tortoises oozed nobility.

Across the grass they moved, ever so slowly. 

One examined my boot then continued on . 

 

Their little faces and embelished shells.

Their long nails and wiggly tails

little and large in the grass explore

till I tuck them away in their box of straw

(I put a figurine of a tortoise on the real tortoises back. 

He seemed to enjoy carrying the little thing around)

Check out this funny website!

The lady and the scooter accident is actually more 

sad than funny. But her bored expression is superb.

I was looking for images to include in my dissertation

so this website was actually work related. 

However, I am allowing myself a 10 minute break to 

have some hot chocolate. It is 3.33am. I like announcing this, 

as it is quite rare for me to work through the night.

I value my sleep and settle for no less than 9 hours sleep every night.

my hot chocolate is coming to an end and I must return to writing my conclusion.
