Okay. I guess I should start with the biggest news I found out today. Disney have bought Marvel. Now at first reading that scared the hell out of me. What were Disney going to do with Marvel and the comics they publish? Then I actually read through the press releases and the news websites and it appears to be nothing to really be concerned about. They appear to be throwing their money and weight into allowing Marvel to do what they already do. Disney knows that Marvel knows what it is doing, and they are going to let them keep doing it, much the same way as the Pixar take over occurred.
I also read a very interesting news article about how screwed we are in the event of a zombie outbreak. Some Canadian mathematicians who normally work out the spread of highly infectious diseases have turned their methods to plotting the spread of a zombie plague. Apparently part of the biggest problem is that normally, with infectious diseases, people die and then they are out of the system, they are no longer carriers, can no longer spread the disease themselves, but with a zombie outbreak, if you die, you just come back as a zombie and spread the disease further. According to these scientists there is no chance of co-existing with the zombies, either we die out or we kill all of them. Good to know that someone is working on the important things. Now I just need to finalise my zombie outbreak plans with this new information, and everything will be good.
So today is the August Bank Holiday so a lot of people have the day off. Such as my parents (my mother being a teacher has about 6 weeks off around this time of year anyway, but that is besides the point) so today, they visited me in Cambridge and we went for a meal at Wagamama which was very nice and then we went shopping in Cambridge.
Tomorrow, I will be filming with a couple of friends the fight sequence for the end of the Animus short I am currently working on, which I really need to get around to naming. I have decided that seeing as the short I am working is designed to be the first episode of a series I will write a story arc for a 5-10 episodes run and then maybe write certain scripts. I am also thinking about writing and making the finale episode of the run, which at present has a working title of “Two Little Birds”.
