My Life By Marvin The Magnificent

It's not easy holding back the Evil Tide.

When you sign up for a Secret Defense League like the JDL you think that it's going to be slaying vampires all night and fighting Evil Witches all day.

But actually that's just a small part of the job. Most of your time is spent trying to just understand the Good Witches and trying to work out whether they are wearing stockings or not. And if it's not the Good Witches occupying all of your time then it's the Cheerleaders. Have you ever tried persuading a cheerleader that pom-poms are no substitute for a two handed battle-axe?

If it's not the cheerleaders taking up all your time then it's the Exams.

Both Jen and I have been working hard at our Media Studies course work project. We each have to make a short film on the topic of "My Life." This is Jen's second attempt because she failed the exam last year due to stress. Our Media Studies teacher said it was also because Jen's film was just a load of pretentious, self indulgent whinging and that he got enough of that at home and that he didn't see why he had to put up with it in work too.

So Jen has been updating her film to make it more "hard hitting and gritty." I told her that she would probably get more marks if she put more cheerleaders in it. To her credit she has put quite a lot about Chrystal in it. I don't think she really understands the Finer Points about film making though. She just has Chrystal doing a lot of talking instead of actual cheerleading and she wasn't even in her cheerleading costume. I think Jen just completely misses the point sometimes.

I'm really happy with my film. I think it captures the essence of my typical day. I included quite a lot about Jen and also about Chrystal (actually in her cheerleading costume) so I think I'm going to get a really good mark.

So break out the popcorn, turn down the lights and turn up the volume to eleven. Sit back and enjoy "My Life By Marvin The Magnificent" - coming soon to a cinema near you.
