No Distractions
My brother and Mum have both gone on a little visit to see my granny in her new nursing home (no, it’s a nice one, just opened, there’s greenery and nice people… and my aunt and uncle visit a lot). This means it’s just me and Dad. AND he’s out a lot. He has his allotment and all the other things semi-retired people do.
Because of all this… space… time… quiet… It means I get to play loud music and really geek out. This means I am moving forward in a BIG way with the scout group’s website. As of5 minutes ago I have the entire framework together. Now I just have to fill it and make it look pretty. AND I have figured out the multiple installations of Wordpress using only one SQL database… yes, it’s taken me this long… yes, I am this stupid.
Next I am going to go through the several thousand photos I already have from this delicious group of people to try and find ones that simultaneously give a positive impression of the group while keeping the little darlings identities as secret as possible. I foresee using an awful lot of ‘blur’. I’ve also figured out how to make the colours work… well, I think so anyway… and each section will have their own official colours used… See, official colours! Then it’s not my choice… not my fault!
All of this. All the colouring in and prettiness will be done in the next day or so because then comes the hard bit. Words. What the hell do I say about any of the Sections? I know next to nothing about what actually goes on. Yes, ooo, idea, get the section leaders to write it? Tell them that I have read the Scouting UK website and copying will not be tolerated. Reward them with sweeties? Try a massive charm offensive?
Yeah, I laughed at the last one too.
Can’t think about it now. Have prettiness to do.
Well have sleep to have first.
But I’m going to leave you on a musical note. You remember the bad bad news about the Rocky Horror remake? Well, filming starts in November on another musical remake - Fame.
Yep. Fame. It’s going to be directed by Kevin Tancharoen who is involved with things like Pussycat Doll’s Search For The Next Doll. The only reason I care is he got Special Thanks on Dr Horrible… so he must do something right. But, thing I am worried about - every song except the theme is being thrown out. I mean, seriously, what’s the point? Let’s just call it Theatre School Musical and have done with it!
