All right all? Been a few days since I last posted - it was snowing in New York on Monday morning when I last had chance to pop a few words in this here box. Well, as the title of this blog would suggest, I'm back home now. We arrived back on Wednesday morning, after a surprisingly empty flight, on which, as we have now moved in March, there were a brand new selection of movies to watch, including Quantum of Solace which I decided to give a go. It was better the second time, but I still can't claim to be impressed. The flight was also practically empty, meaning we had plenty of room, which was grand. Unfortunately we didn't sleep, which left us both feeling terrible as we landed. There was nearly an hour's wait for our baggage too, as the lock of the baggage hold of the plane had frozen!
We eventually got home, and I slept all day, which I think has contributed to the fact that I have no concept of time at the moment, and feel as if I'm very jetlagged. I didn't sleep at all well last night, but then again, it could have just been one of those nights.
I'm at work currently, at Classic. Wondering how this potential jetlag will affect me tonight. Especially as I'm here again tomorrow night (or Sunday morning). I've also got the complication of a meeting with the Casting Collective at 10am tomorrow, which hopefully I won't be dead for! It's basically about becoming an extra in a 'major motion picture' which Aoife seems to think is Nottingham, with Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett. It's also being directed by Ridley Scott. Not bad for my first screen outing hey? Aoif's in the know being a film student and also having worked for this company for a few months. It's pretty exciting all right, we'll see what happens. The funny part is, that I applied for a job at the company months ago and it seems the only job they can find for me is that of a scruffy, beardy bloke. Think I can just about do that.
Today, I had a very cool experience. The sports journalism module that I'm taking started today. Wasn't a bad start - a tour of the Emirates stadium. The stadium is awesome, and although I'd been before, the tour we had was incredible. We visited the Director's restaurant and box, the entrance that the players and manager use and also the dressing room (which had the kits laid out for Sunday's FA Cup game against Burnley. I can tell you that Fabregas will be on the bench). We saw the press conference room and we also walked out of the tunnel and sat where Arsene Wenger sits for every game. It's some stadium. Just a shame about the team hey? We also found out today that on Tuesday night we have tickets for the Watford v Forest game at Vicarage Road, and will be seated in the press box and will attend the post match press conference where will have chance to interview Brendan Rodgers and Billy Davies, who are the managers of the respective clubs. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity (well unless I become a sports journalist, I guess) and I am well excited.
Right, back to work. I'm here 'til 9am though, so there could be more from me yet!
