Song: Alive or Dead – The Draft

I have been working on potential layouts all night. I couldn’t stand the yellow. Made this instead.

I saw D9 (District 9) over the weekend. It was awesome. It got kinda gross at points (I won’t spoil it in case people wanted to see it, lol) and the fingernails thing creeped the fuck out of me, but it was still awesome. At points it reminded me of Iron Man (I kindofmaybeyelled that out at one point, pmsl), which was AWESOME because I adore Iron Man so much. I went with Christine, and I have such an awesome time with her. Afterwards we went out for a bit, I went to Dangerfield and got a Iron Man wallet (its WIN) and I was going to buy books but got lazy, plus Christine needed to get home. So I didn’t. Which sucked. But still had an awesome time.

What else? I’ve been having technology problems. My tablet which I use for my laptop (I can’t use it on my desktop because if I do, half my games don’t work. Its bullshit) kind of destroyed my laptop, the CPU seemed to be having problems deciphering codes from the serial buses, which sucked, but Dad managed to fix it. Still weary of Spike (laptop), though. And then today my MP3 player of about… 2 and a half years decided to screw up, so I listened to music on Cecil (mobile) which was great, so Kathlyn (mp3) got jealous and decided to work again. Or at least that’s my story, pmsl.

I am so exhausted at the moment. The other day it was an evening session of the cricket (One Day Internationals!) which meant that it aired here from 11pm-7am. Shivani, Christine & I made a pact to wake up at 4:30am and watch. Which we all did. But now I’m past tired, I was pretty low on sleep as it was. It now means time is moving in a strange way. Its moving rather fast. Big leaps. Its odd.

And before you tell me I’m an idiot for waking up to watch it (pretty much everyone at school has been telling me this), we won, so its worth it.

I actually can’t remember if I had anything else blog-worthy, lmao. Its the sleep thing. Oh well. I’ll make up a story instead. Or I won’t. I was about to start typing it until I realised I’d probably sound mental. Whatever.

Seeing as I’m a boring sod I’ll go of and read Empire. I had spare money on Sunday (D9 day) and I was going to buy it, but instead bought Computer Arts (it came with a free CD!) and didn’t have enough for Empire. Then Mum comes Empire with one for me. She knows I fancy Robert Downey Jnr (he’s on the cover). I love her.

Song: (Its Good) To Be Free – Oasis

Keeping up with this Friday thing? We’ll see how it goes.

So what’s new? I’m back at school. Its been alright, I guess. I’ve had worse times. Its interesting seeing everyone again, brings back memories of them, suppose. Even if it had only been two weeks, it still feels like I hadn’t seen them in ages, the way I spent my time felt words away from the reality of school.

More exciting news, you ask? Well, on the Sunday before school, Mum and I went to this book store in the city (damn me if I ever remember what it’s called) and bought crap loads of books. Nothing for school, really, just for… stuff. I got The War of the Worlds, Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass, Goodnight Mr. Tom (I read it for school and loved it, I don’t care), a book about my favourite artist ever, Francis Bacon, and a book about graphic design (which I LOVE, btw). The day after that, the Monday, the last day before school, I went out again with my brother so he could get books, didn’t get a lot, just Let the Right One In which Jess recommended me. I’m really looking forward to reading the new books (Alice / Let the Right One In / The War of the Worlds [which I'm half way through, and its SO good]), but naturally school assigned a different book for me to read, so I’m trying to get through To Kill A Mockingbird as fast as I can. Which isn’t very fast, pmsl.

I have a party tomorrow night. Dunno if I’ll go, I haven’t mentioned anything of it to anyone, pmsl. Besides, I don’t think the girl really likes me at all, and only inviting me because she invited everyone who I sit with at school. High school politics are so mental.

I got a new phone today. Its the Nokia N97, which is AMAZING. I love it so much. You can see an image here, except mine is in black. Its awesome. I love it. I’m repeating myself. I’m so boring, oh my.

New layout. Its… not so good, actually. I wanted to focus more on typography and everything like that, after reading the books I bought, but it just looks cluttered. I may change it around in a ‘mo, oh well.

Thanks everyone for answering the questions last post, I’m not planning on making the questions a common occurrence, but the answers have really helped. I’ve also handed in my short story, so expect it online next week or so.
