Tired again!

Since being back in the South West, I have hardly time to sit and relax, until today! With job searching and interview travelling, I feel like a kid again, except it’s not my dad having an interview… it’s me, obviously!

Being back is nice though, I feel I have adjusted. Except for the lack of consistent phone signal in the house ofcourse!

I went back to Newcastle for an interview on Sunday, the bus there, was packed and the day was hot, which made for a horrible journey. I didn’t get the job, and the bus back was just as packed and humid, was it a fun trip. Not especially, but I can’t complain. The times I wasn’t actually travelling or being interviewed were nice! I watched a film called Hot Shots! which was absolutely hilarious, along with What Happens In Vegas and Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, what a Monday of film!

Today, Wednesday, I had a deserved lie-in. I got up at 15.45 and I was happy to do so, why? My exam results were in! How well do you think I did? Your waiting will not last long, I passed, which a Stage 1 average of 73% … if they actually counted and I were a person that treat my first year results as if they do, then that 73% equates to a first class honour. Go me?

I went to see Star Trek at the flicks again, it was as good the second time and I greatly enjoyed it.

I think it’s time to chill out and go to bed now though!

Era: End

My first year of University has come to it’s climactic end. It only feels like a few weeks ago that I was sat in Bristol Airport waiting to fly to Newcastle and start the course, now I am already back! My how things change!

I have met some amazing people during my first year at University, and as you can expect, I have also met people that I would rather not know, but such is life and I am happy to have met everyone, friends or not! I am just happy to be back in the south!

I am still very mentally exhausted from exams, moving back and moving in (we moved house down here you see), so I am finding it very hard to write. I will try and write soon!

Antique Soul

I haven’t found a worthwhile soul album in a long long time! Usually opting for the “safe” choice of the alternative music I generally listen to… However, I recently came across an album by Smoove and Turrell which I really enjoy, it’s called ‘Antique Soul’ and I am sure you can find it on any shop/streaming software of your choice. For a debut album it’s absolutely amazing, and I can easily play this for hours on end!

Not only that, but I’ve been listening to a lot of early Brandnew lately, to suit my angry mood. I don’t know about you, but being away from home brings me out. I like to think I’ve mellowed out more, able to control my bi-polar disorder and keep some good friends. But the other side of that sword is it brings out other people and some of the people I’ve met! There’s definitely one course in particular that makes people act a little, elitist? I think that might be a good word… that or high-brow. Looking down at the scientists around them. Shame really, they were good people to begin with!

LOST had it’s finale last night in the US. I know I often talk about LOST, but my oh my do I love it! The series finale was fantastic! It lived up to all expectations and more, questions as always were answered and questions … as always … were raised! It’s the last series next year … which, brings me to my next fustian. A lot of people around me recently have said “LOST has been dragged out for far too long, although I stopped watching when it wasn’t on Channel 4.”
So, you haven’t watched it since series 2 end and it’s been dragged out, yet you have no idea what’s been happening! A silly remark to make if you ask me! I wonder how Prison Break will end though!

My Xbox died. I went out and bought Halo Wars, of which my good friend Derek allowed me to test at his flat. Enjoyed it, bought it, took a day off to play it…. Red Ring. RED RING ON MY XBOX. I cannot begin to tell you how angry I was, although I was also surprised as to how long it did last before the RRoD hit it! Oh well, it’s chilling in Germany now, taking in the Frankfurt sun and hopefully getting a well deserved service. Before being flown back to me by magical angels… knowing me it’ll red ring the moment I go to play it. If it does, duck.

I Love You, Man is a good film. It’s one of those silly films with tiny bits that keep you giggling for days… I am still giggling. Why you ask, because I’m “Slappin’ da bass!” …in joke… it’s fine.

It should be noted, I hate revision. Especially being told I revise wrong by the same people… but mainly the act of revision. I remember when I thought revision was cheating …… then reaped the rewards of close to full marks.

Fuck yeah.

Beagollies!

It’s nice to be back in’da’hooood. Or as we actually call it, Newcastle! Exams are right around the corner though! That’ll be fun? Probably not. End of first year! It’s right flown by! Be weird to be back in Bristol for an extended period of time!

Mum’s moving out of Bristol though, more north to Gloucester! Nice house too, biiiig garden! And a big kitchen too, but further from Bristol City Center and anywhere with some actual job prospects… eeek! Be an experience I am sure!

Tell you what’s getting good! LOST, it’s a bit slow, but not in a bad way… you can tell the production team are gearing up for a steller series finale. Something immense is definitely going to happen that’ll make the last series a must-see. Oh I love LOST so much! Be a shame when it’s over in a way. Although I do tend to hate shows that milk it!

Beagles are cool dogs. I don’t really like dogs though, beagles and border collies though! Border Beagles? Beagollies?

Yeah.

Follow Friday?

To those that use twitter, do you go along with this Follow Friday madness? I kind of get the idea behind it. Put forward a list of names of people you enjoy reading and then maybe they’ll get a load of new followers. Today, (Fri 17) I’ve seen most Follow Friday people put forward their own names and even retweet people that mention them.
Seems a bit egotistical to me, but then twitter does seem to be about “I have this many more followers than you.” Dunno how many I have, it usually changes where people come and go, I only read a certain amount of people’s tweets and then only reply to a smaller amount. I might filter out Follow Friday!

Blaah.

Anyway, life as we know it? REM once said it’s the end of the world as we know it, and they’re fine about it. My life whilst not at it’s logical end, is fine! I am coming to the end of my Easter holidays and have had a nice relaxing break, seen a few people, done my work and got lots of sleep in. I’ve also watched more TV and films in the past month than I ever thought I could! At one point I stopped sleeping to watch more films or episodes!

Also got a good amount of music, which brings me to my next point. The Pirate Bay verdict: guilty!?
I would be bias to say that in a way they’ve done nothing wrong. They just put a page where people can link, but I suppose even then that could be considered a crime vicariously, a year jail time apparently. Sad times. That was done a lot quicker than the charges against Oink’s Pink Palace which is still going. Bring back cassette tapes and copy them, see how the music industry like that!
What I find most funny is that one song is worth around $50,000 (£33,798) each. Seriously? One person downloading a song amounts to that much lost? I doubt the £13 I would’ve spent on a CD at my local record store would even come close to that amount of money, well, it doesn’t — you can see! Oh well!

Lost is getting really good, shame there’s only 6 or so episodes left! I hope we get to see how Dr. Chang loses his hand and decides to go by Dr. Marvin Candle and Mark Wickmund instead of his name in the videos! I am guessing we will anyway as we’re in the 70s! I wonder how they’ll get back to the present and even further how the whole thing will end. One full series left! OOOOOHHHH! Can’t wait!
The Office, South Park and Scrubs were all good this week. So was The Apprentice, first time I’ve ever watched the series (I’ve seen the other episodes of this series) and I think it’s pretty entertaining! Pretty funny as the people are confident bordering on the edge of arrogant to the point of sounding like a wet flannel!

My cat is led on me in a weird position resting his fat arse on my arm so as not to fall off me, lazy. Garfield!

Back To Earth

First part of Red Dwarf was screened on Dave tonight, is pretty good … can’t wait to watch the other parts of the show. Dave is showing three of my favourite episodes after. Gunmen of the Apocalypse, Quarantine and Tikka to Ride. Memories!

I caught up on Eureka within a few days, annoyingly the US is having a break for a period of time. I hate it when that happens! Although LOST was good this week… Ben was having a right time with The Monster! I was hoping we’d find out what The Monster actually was, sadly not. Another time perhaps.

I’ve been back for nearly three weeks and all I’ve done is watch masses of TV and films, got minimal amounts of work done! Oops! Oh well, done enough to get me through to deadlines easily! Oh the joys of University!

Tired now.

Eureka!

Have you ever seen Eureka? It’s good, I like it! It has a guy who I’ve seen before but I can’t place where and in what I’ve seen him in… that’s always annoying!

I watched Yes Man yesterday, you know, why Jim Carrey, it’s alright. I liked it… get rid of the love story in it, don’t need that. Too many films bang in a cheeky love story to make it flow, you could do other things. Liiiiike, I’m not sure, but you can! Don’t call me Spielberg, Ford-Copella or Scorsese … cause I’m not them right. It’s not my job to be creative with films … I’m just saying, don’t need no love stories in all the films right!

It’s still Easter holidays, had a full week back and I’m gonna admit I am a bit bored. I need something to do, I’ve found my Nintendo DS.. playing World of Goo, completed Day of the Tentacle and watching Eureka. That’s not enough to do. I know I have work to do… but I’ll start that on Monday after a nice relaxing week. Clocks go forward tonight too, more time LOST because of the Earth shifting on it’s axis. Earth, take a pill and chill. Cool your jets. We don’t want to lose an hour, we want to gain an hour yeah! Swap the forward and backwards so we go backwards no, and forwards in Winter. Everyone hates Winter anyway, so they’ll be loving it “ooooh that’s another hour flown by, roll on Spring!”

I need something to do, seriously. I am going out of my mind here. Maybe I should just start running around. Obviously outside and on a set-out route. Who’d want someone running around their house like a maniac, maniac on the floor…. Running around like no one has before? Not me. That’d do my head in. I might go running then. Or swimming, I like swimming.

Well … back to Eureka. I started to play The Curse of Monkey Island today, that game is way too hard!

I got bored!

Home!

I am home! I returned Saturday after a loooong train journey full of many characters.

What have I done since?

Watched TV, films, gone to Ikea, fell in love with N-Dubz and got a normal sleeping pattern back!

I won’t be doing much else, just call me Garfield!

Kidulthood and Adulthood are good movies, watch them!

Three weeks

Three whole weeks … 7*3 … and other variations of such.

I haven’t wrote to you in three days. I have been working, you’d probably not be interested!

I am back in Bristol on the 21st of March.

HOOLLAAAAAA
