I don't know if blogger has a policy about swear words so I'd rather play it safe and censor it out, not that it makes any difference, most of you still know what the word is. Not much other news, going home tomorrow and really looking forward to playing Call of Duty 2 online. Have a good holiday,

Blogging Hell

As you may have noticed, I haven't been blogging in a little while. I have been busy with work and a few other things. Nothing much has happened in the last while (as usual), though I did manage to get onto the Gamesoc commitee as Publicity Rep. I hope this will be a step forward for me in all departments. Had a good lan on Saturday and a great game of ET last night on the Gamesoc server. Going home in a few days so I might get more time to update this then.
Phil News: Phil has not done much in the last few days apart from sleeping, eating, drinking (mainly alcohol I figure), smoking and doing a bit of work. He is his usual cheery self but he has taken to using an old copy of the Financial Times as toilet paper!

Flatmate Watch

I feel like doing another sort of item log so I think I'm going to monitor anything of interest in my flatmates. First on the watch is Phil, stay tuned. I'm happy at the moment, so here's a pointless picture.

Last Night

Oh my God, I had a pretty strange time last night (very early this morning). The first part was very average; I went out with a couple of friends and then we went back to Pollock and watched "The 40-year-old Virgin" starring Steve Carrell. It was a good film, I'd give it 8/10, go and see it some time. When I got back into the flat (at about 2:30am), I realised that the party was still in full swing. I was shortly embraced by Phil and asked several times "Do you want some booze?", "Do you want a smoke?", "Do you need some alcohol?". I turned these gracious offers down as, quite frankly (or earnestly if you prefer that), I was exhausted. I think Phil was having a good time and he decided to liven the mood by stealing my listerine and taking a huge gulp of it. I think he was regretting that decision shortly afterwards as I saw him throw it into the sink.

At this point I went to bed, using the conversation between Greta and Jude (Jude jude) to send me to sleep (It was actually pretty interesting though, I'm not mocking the conversation, oh forget it). It took me ages to get to sleep, hearing conversations of people right outside my door. The best thing I can remember hearing is a conversation where one of the two girls had gone to the toilet. Here is what I think I heard;

Girl in Toilet: "there's no paper, is there any paper in my bag or the other toilets?"
Other Girl: "wait, I'll go check" -pause- "no there's no paper anywhere!"

GiT: "oh no!"
OG: "erm, just use the towel"
GiT: "I can't do that"
OG: "don't worry, we'll never be seing these people again"
GiT: "no, I shouldn't"
OG: "use the towel. If you don't tell, I won't tell"
GiT: "erm, well..."
OG: "yeah, just use the towel, nobody will know!"
GiT: "oh ok, hold on"

Yeeuch! When I heard this last night, I was laughing my head off. I knew I wanted to tell Andy (I think he owns the towel in question) the next day, so I jumped out of my bed and wrote some of this down. I hope I get to him before he uses it.

Anyway, It's snowing right now and I woke up about 40 minutes ago. I'm not feeling that tired and that's really interesting isn't it. I was thinking of making signs for some of the doors so people would know where to get out of the flat. Also, I want to get on the commitee for Gamesoc in the AGM on the 18th, so that's something to aim for.

The Weather Man

The film "The Weather Man" is average in my opinion. I would recommend that you avoid it unless you are bored or there is no alternative. 5/10

George Bush

Thought that I'd bring you another of George Bush's legendary quotations, so here goes;

"If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure"

Thoroughly inspiring words in my opinion. Anyway, In other news, I had a great conversation with my friends last night whilst eating curry at the Mosque. It started off with two of them debating whether Bill Gates was still the richest man in the world when I interjected "a stupid way to lose all of that at once would be to make a long term investment in a large batch of canned peas". I got some weird looks, but then the discussion sparked into life. We figured it may not actually be as bad as previously thought, as surely supply for peas would suddenly drop, and then the peas could be sold at an inflated price. Saying that, peas are not essential to life and you may find out that you'd lose the money anyway. If someone has a lot of money, please try this option when investing your funds and let me know how it works out. If you make a profit, make sure you mention me, and I want 20% of the profit. If you lose the money, I don't know you. Why the hell am I talking about this? I think my blog has sunk to an all-time low thanks to this.
I think it's time to change my music video and I'm disappointed that nobody has made a recommendation. Oh well, at least now I can pick one that I like.

Footie-ball

Just realised that I hadn't given you the results for the 2nd leg games of the round of 16. Basically, Arsenal were the only British team to go through and Barcelona, Lyon, Juventus, Villareal, Benfica, AC Milan joined them, with Inter Milan to play Ajax next week. Full results here. I hope that's helped my large number of readers. I found out that I was top result in an msn search for "tonights football results", wow! That is all for now, I really need to think of something interesting to talk about...

Tech Wizardry

Talk about consistent blogging, that's twice in an evening. Watching the football at the moment but just saw this amazing site here. It kept me entertained for ages and now I have a sudden need for technology. Someof the stuff on it looks great, such as the Microsoft Origami and GDrive from Google.

Publicity

Call me a sucker for favours. Someone put a comment on my last post asking me to publicise his site on my blog so here goes:

Go and have a look, I'm sure it's great. Also, If you want to help me then please click on my ads above. It takes hardly any time and I get money, so you can feel pleased with yourself that you've helped someone today. Still been looking at all the speculation about this game called "Spore" and I honestly can't wait for it to be released. Her is a video courtesy of www.gamingsteve.com to get your teeth into;


I found a provisional date of "Autumn 2006" but apart from that there isn't much confirmed. Lecturers had their strike which meant that one or two of my classes today were cancelled, much to my annoyance (not!). Saying that, I saw hardly any picketers. Maybe they had sheltered from the rain, or had gone home briefly to watch neighbours. Got some walkie talkies at the weekend (don't ask me why) and I'm a bit disappointed that one has run out of power already. It was the one with the tesco batteries in it, hmm...
I've started thinking about making a PC sometime in the future (probably in about a year) as I can see that my fairly high power laptop may begin to struggle in some departments in the next while. I've been told that it's expensive and difficult to upgrade a laptop and the size restricts what can be done.
Football is on tonight with the encounter between Chelsea and Barcelona being the one I'm most interested in. I would love to see Chelsea lose. I really dislike Jose Mourinho, Didier Drogba and Arjen Robben. The latter's face is always wrinkled up as if he's in some sort of eternal discomfort or pain. I can't stand the diving, admittedly Ronaldo (of Man Utd) used to do it a bit, but never as artisticly (is that a word?) as the Chelski pair. That's enough rant for now, anyway, I'm trying to do a bit of work to prepare myself for what's to come in the next few weeks so I best get back to that. Click my ads.

Stuff

Wow! I've really slowed down haven't I? Had an okay day today and tried to record the third episode of the show before my computer crashed just after we had finished, oh well! I was doing my regular check of "I am bored" when I saw this great video for a game in development called "Spore". From what I saw I can say it's mainly about creating creatures and developing them through evolution (if you believe in that) and then through their respective societies. I'm not quite sure when it's due out but I'm definitely going to get it. Also, had thoughts today about maybe building a Desktop PC sometime in the next 18 months depending on how things go, but for now I have to focus on accomodation for next year. Whew! Now I can leave you for another 5 days.

Finished

Just finished the second of two essay about 10 minutes ago so I thought I'd write on my blog to update it. Sorry it's been a while but I felt that I should dedicate my time to my work. I'm feely fairly good about the essays though I always have lingering doubts about assignments and these sort of things. I discovered this great Rodney Mullen video where he's doing some amazing tricks. I also just realised that I haven't changed the video for about a week so I'll get onto that. Please post suggestions as to what videos you would like on the site. Anyway, that's all for now, oh wait, check this out.

Oh, by the way, it's my saints day today!
