Hillsong TV

-
Today's service was not that great from a TV point of view... I have mixed feelings about being in situations like these. On the one hand, I know that if the task before me is tough and if I am not performing up to expectations then the learning curve must be steep and it's always great to have room to improve. On the other hand, feeling like you're letting the team down or being the weak link is never nice so I'm quite thankful to be operating in an environment that is as supportive as this one is. Today was the last time I am directing till the end of my exams (October). After that I will have more time to look into TV matters and try improve in my stylistic and technical issues. Today just didn't feel right. At one point Tommy (the producer) reminded us to be nice when speaking with the cameras. I think my frustration was probably showing but the camera ops and I have a good working relationship (I hope!) and I always speak with them between services so they know it's not personal and given that I dont think this happens much I think I will let today's non-incident slide. Not the best Sunday! Came home and slept for 5 hours.. and it's not like I didn't sleep enough last night.

Brugada Syndrome

I don't think I will ever be a plastic surgeon. Not because I like plastics any less but because I cannot let cardiology go. Today I started studying cardiology cases for my exams and came across a segment on Brugada syndrome and the ECG patterns that are typical to this condition. I was surprised to see that this condition was discovered and described as recently as 1992 by a family of Spanish Catalan doctors (the Brugada doctors). I love finding 'new' cardiology information because the problem with being so interested in something is that I sometimes run out of novel 'findings' to keep me interested in the field. Lately I have been reading about microvascular dysfunction (related to womens cardiac conditions) and today Brugada ECGs. I think I could do this forever.

Connecting the dots

I was reading an article in Forbes today on the world's most influential women and was somewhat struck by the realisation that I float in some of these circles, loosely but in general only by one degree of separation. I have never understood why I have been allowed to meet these people and to get to know them on a personal level. I don't know if anything is meant to come of it, or if perhaps there are just so many of them that all of us know someone or other. But sometimes I can't help but wonder, what the hell. How is it that little old me knows some of the most powerful and some of the richest in the world? I am a nobody. I feel like a nobody. And yet somehow, I've made it to the edges of all this. What??

Life Zzzzzzzzzzzz

I always feel like life needs to be packed with amazing and exciting things... so it never feels right when my weekends are empty. I get bored, and boredom doesn't sit well with me! It will be A.W.E.S.O.M.E. when I am back in my own apartment with pretty furniture and the amazing Apple iMac that I will finally buy and UNLIMITEDDDDD internet. It will certainly be really really awesome.
