Master of the Universe

Today is my graduation day. Back here in rainy Dublin I'm now a 'Master of Arts' in filmmaking. Well are ya, punk? Yes, yes I am. When they handed me my scroll I climbed right up on top of the podium in my big black cape and threw out my arms. I AM THE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE, I roared.

No, no I didn't. This ain't a movie, punks. Instead, I slept through it all. Woke up in Rosie's bed in the early evening and just lay there for a while staring up at the ceiling, wondering what to do next.

The world is my lobster, I guess.

  3. I graduated today too. Yerwan called your name and said 'in absentia'. I thought, 'she's in America'. But you're not. There were some lovely boys in your class, I noticed.

    It was nothing special anyway, I nearly fell asleep from boredom.

  4. As I believe Jimmy Cagney once said (in character) "I'm on top of the world, M.A."

    Well done you, it's been an eventful time since you started the course.

  5. Congratulations to you too, Chanberry!

    I didn't realise they would call my name if I wasn't there. Yes, there were some very lovely boys in my class. I'll see them in the pub later for pints, I hope.

    thank you, everybody.

  11. I absented myself not just from my graduation, but from the entire last year of my Arts degree. I am hardcore.

    But great news, Annie. Now we can go off and make that avant garde piece where the totured miner finally snaps and kidnapps Sarah Jessica Parker. Remember we talked about it at the blog awards? You promised.

    Congrats! I couldn't say what you ought to do next in a short-term, money-making sense, but I definitely think there's a book to be written out of your trip material.

  20. Congrats and cheers to that! Now you are a bona fide artiste and it doesn't matter what else you do, you have the right to put "film-maker" on your epitaph. And really, why else do we do MAs?

    Yes, kidnap (and torture?) SJP on film. And definitely a book. Were I the long-attention-span type, that's what I'd do.
