I’m back and I’m on fire… ouch, better put that out.
Just had dinner entirely from a tin, it was great, (in student terms anywho). I lead such an interesting life. Maybe this is why I gave up blogging before…
Anyway, until next time, ciao.

Forgot I had this… I’m back.

This annoyed me somewhat, as I’m going to be going to Exeter University in a few weeks time and I’m waiting to hear – through the post – about my accommodation. However the postal strike has delayed all this. It isn’t even an official strike. The workers have now gone back to work. But to be honest – go back to work and stay at work, if you’re not happy with the pay and other conditions – stop working there and find a better job. Don’t take it out on other people.

Just realised it was the Queens birthday a few days ago… lol. I don't care much for royals. They don't really do much apart from open things and read speaches written for them by other people. I guess they give the papers a bit to write about sometimes, but other than that they just waste states money. They get paid for doing pretty much nothing… We'd be much better without a royal family. Vive le Revolution!

Just watched this film, sooo funny all the way through, some classic quotes, well worth a watch, only thing is the ending isn't so god. The guy gets laid (well its bound to happen isnt it) and it goes all cheesy and they get married and all dance about singing its the age of the aquarius or something :S strange and too happy and soppy lol.
(Also just made a big damn tasty cheese and pickle sandwich :D)

Kind of a response to Sam's post Thursdays Exams, I also had similar exams last thursday, Physics in the morning and then Maths in the afternoon but only C4 rather than both because my C3 exam was earlier in the week. In my C4 exam though there was a volumes of revolution questions and I knew exactly how to do it, but then had to integrate 9sin^2(x), (thats 9 sine squared x) and i was screwed lol. Couldn't remember how to do it.
Alas I don't have a photo for you just yet, maybe later. Until then I really should be getting on with some revision for the 2 Biology modules I have to take on Tuesday, pfftsh, I only need C's this year 😀

Wooa, haven't been here since the end of April, I guess lifes been busy and stuff. I kinda forgot about all this too. Hmm I wonder what photo I can put up, I will think about it and do it tomorrow, that will give me something to do to avoid working solidly for my Bio exams which are on Tuesday *yawns*.
On the topic of work, just when I should be looking for a summer job before I go to uni, i sent off a letter saying I'm leaving my current job. Oh well. I'm just bored of working, and I'm not very good at sales, I'm too nice to make people buy things they just dont really want.

Hey, sorry I didn't get this up sooner, been a bit busy with other things. Anywho, I thought this show was pretty awesome. Apparently I was wrong in thinking War Of The Worlds started out as an lp when it was first made. It was, however, a film ages ago. Then it was made into the lp. Then we had the most recent film and finally hte musical show which i saw a few days ago.
The setup was a large (ish – prolly about 20-30piece) orchestra on one side of the stage with a band on the other side, which comprised of a couple of guitarists, a bassist (possibly 2) and a drummer or two (I couldn't really see them that well). The sound was great, big loud orchestra :D.
The musicians were sitton on the stage in front of a huge film screen which didn't appear to be projection to me so it was probably rear projection or something. But they used this to show film clips of the aliens walking around on mars and landing on Earth etc, but they didn't use it so much that the whole thing just became a film which was good. Also for certain scenes they had actors/actresses on stage acting out sections and singing etc.
The only downpoint I would say is that for a big musical show, it didn't feel all that much more special than just listening to it on cd, apart from the fact the music sounded better.
Also, on a quick note. I made this picture last night. I guess it is slightly relevant, almost looks like the Earth after the martians move in and all the red weed covers the Earth.
Please ask if you wish to use this photo. And thanks to ROSIE for the stock photo 🙂 .

Technorati: War Worlds photo aftermath
April 25, 2006
At school at the moment, don't have a lesson right now so I thought I'd update this. Anywho I'm going to work later, joy, at least working mid-week is easier than Saturdays because there are less time-wasters. Oh well, I'm going to see the original musical version of War Of The Worlds played live at Wembley Arena tonight with a big orchestra and band. Should be pretty cool.
Heres todays photo. I actually really like this one. As always, please ask if you wish to use it.

Technorati: photo nature environment
April 22, 2006
Ok, It's not really like me to use this blog for this, but hey here goes, I need to have a rant…
I wanted to go round all the employment agencies today because I would like to sign up with a temping agency or something like that. I went to 4 different employment centres in Uxbridge today (Saturday – the busiest retail day of the week) and every single place was closed, this pissed me off so much. This means anyone who is currently in a job they dont want to be in any more, has to take time off or quit to be able to start looking for another. Just plain stupid.
Ok, thats enough.
