I seem to be in a pretty good mood these past few days. Though I have been off work since Wednesday, lol. I've taken the rest of this week off as annual leave, as well as all next week XD ( Read more... )

So. Stuff has happened. Not a lot of stuff, but it's stuff I figured deserved posting about at least XD ( Read more... )

W00t! One more week of work left! I finish for Christmas on the 21st, and they're closing at 1pm. I get paid as per a normal day's worth of work too!

Also, pay day is on Monday. That's the best day of the month for me, closely followed by the release date of EDGE. And then it's the release date of GamesTM... and by that time it's nearly pay day ( Read more... )

Had yet more trouble with the internet - same problem as I've been having for the past couple of years (and in both this house and the one we lived in in Kirkby for a while). I can't convince Virgin Media (used to be NTL) to swap out the cable modem because they can't detect anything wrong with it, whereas process of elimination (and years of ( Read more... )

Not been up to much really. One of the few things of relevance that happened was my multiple-guess exam on stats on Friday. It was alright. I feel fairly confident that I did well enough to pass on that *touches wood, just in case*.

There was also the first LAS screening of the semester yesterday. After another vote, it was decided that Gintama, ( Read more... )

So I've had my 3 exams - Bacteriology, Virology & Molecular Biology, in that order. They were all shit. End.

Well, apart from maybe virology, since that was multiple-guess choice.

Exams over. Whee.

I went and bought vol.1 of Area 88 today and watched it on the DVD player in the kitchen. The dramatic fighter-pilot stuff made me load up Ace Combat ( Read more... )

A few things:

The Halo theme, as as played by this band (and the violinist, Hanah Stuart), is absolutely fantastic. I mean, the original Halo theme is an awesome orchestreal piece in its own right. But when the violin kicks in in this version I just find myself all giddy, breaking out in fanboyish goosebumps XD Even if you've never cared for Halo ( Read more... )

Got an e-mail from archery soc telling me that there's a York-Durham competition on next Saturday. Told Naomi that I'd go. Then, the week after that, is the Novice Championships. I reckon I'll go to that too. Look at me, I'm all competing and shit =P I dunno whether I should, seeing how I'm not entirely sure I can do as well as I did the last time ( Read more... )

Couple of things I very nearly bought while I was in town just now:

• Company of Heroes for the PC. It comes WITH Dawn of War! That's like 2 games for £29.99!
  
• Area 88 DVD vol.1. I think I vaguely recall seeing a bit of the original (the DVD is a remake) series ages ago in Hong Kong once. I've always wondered why they don't have more military stuff ( Read more... )

This is a bit late, but Air Gear ep17 was the fucking win! All because of Kazu. Kazu, you are the man. 18 & 19, however, were not quite as good. 19 especially, seemed like your standard super-charged battle scene that commonly takes place in these ongoing series'. I guess it's to be expected, though it doesn't stop me from being bored of them.
