Four weeks.
That is the amount of time since I last posted here. Which probably explains why my Google Analytics are showing lower numbers than usual.
I'd post more, but I haven't really done anything substantial. Plus, I've been tweeting more and more, kind of reducing the purpose. (Did you know that my top five tweeted words are fun, good, tomorrow, played, and yay?)
I've done a few things though.
I've been to the cinema three times in the past two weeks, seeing Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince twice, and The Proposal once, and all of them were really good fun. The Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince game was alright, not as length as others in the series, but did fill in story bits that the movie obviously missed out. I've also started reading the Harry Potter books again, for fun. I'm also listening to the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince soundtrack, as I'm awesome. It's awesome too. =)
School wise, I've been to two events, being the school's summer concert and the school's awards. Both were good fun, must say.
Open University wise, I've completed my second course today. Though the other had Molymod, this was more interesting. Really good fun, think I've done alright, but I probably did give up towards the end of the written questions.
That was because my iMac started dying strangely last night, which was probably the worst time it could have happened. But it did. The clicking sound that has existed for some time was getting quite a bit worse recently. However, last night, Leopard started crashing and restarting, and took about 10 minutes to boot up. And I'm getting errors on the Apple Hardware Test. So I'm gonna call AppleCare tomorrow and get it picked up or whatever happens with Apple servicing. Good job I bought the AppleCare when I did, really.
Oh, as well as calling AppleCare, I'll probably go into Cannock. Why? Because I love Twitter! I have somehow managed to successfully redeem two Marketplace codes for Gears of War 2. Though I don't own it, who would turn down a Gold-Plated Lancer which is like a limited edition exclusive, or the new All Front DLC (which contains 19 multiplayer maps and another campaign level) costing 1600 MSP. All through Twitter. I think those are the only codes I've gotten off Twitter, but they're pretty damn good. Anyway, because of owning all this content, and due to the fact that I'm running out of games, I'm gonna buy Gears of War 2, and some AA batteries from Home Bargains. The AA batteries because I think my dad is noticing the AA batteries are going quite quickly.
Ooh! I could buy a black Play & Charge Kit. Depends on the prices, I suppose.
Strange, my iMac has now been fine for the entire time of writing this post so far. I don't care, I still want it serviced. The clicking is pissing me off.
Firefox's British Dictionary is missing the word movie. Strange.
Anyway.
Found some old and fun DigiCook audio outtakes that once existed on digicook.co.uk, but that website ceases to exist. Anyway, here is the lemons outtakes: (mp3 link)

And here are just some more general outtakes: (mp3 link)

These are obviously in addition to the healthy extras we have on the DVD itself. Hah, Young Enterprise. What japes.
I may paint my room. The blue it currently is ain't too fun. Plus, there's dust everywhere, which ain't good.
Hmm.
I'm running out of things to say.
Oh!
YouTube. From our trip back home from the cinema when we saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, I recorded 30 minutes of video. From prom, I got about six. Put those together along with Katy Perry and you get my first YouTube video of July.
And the second one is when you just condense the video footage back from the cinema and have no other music on the back. Which is this one.
I think I'm done now.
I've missed posting. Might do it more if I was doing more interesting things. Oh well, results day in three weeks and Lostprophets in four, can't wait. =)
Harriet, no, Elliot Minor + The Mission District.
What a fun day it's been.
After what I believe was a night of no sleep, I arose from my room around 12, and cleaned my room some more. Spent about an hour trying to get my books to stay on my shelves right, but they're still constantly falling off. How persistent and annoying.
Anyway, got dressed and ready for the gig tonight, which would be Elliot Minor + The Mission District.
Had McDonald's.
Queued.
Saw David from The Mission District. He was awesome. He gave us a leaflet.
Then we were inside.
It was oh, so very hot. (Almost like there has been a heatwave recently.)
Anyway, The Mission District came on. They were awesome for many reasons, mainly for they sang awesome songs (including the best Lady Gaga/Rihanna/Michael Jackson mix you ever did hear), and they were awesome. They were also sweaty, as jumping + thrown water + bad ventilation + lots of lights was true.
Elliot Minor were on next, obviously, as they were headlining. They came on to Jessica, which somehow caused me to go from basically the back of the room to essentially the front. Which made the evening a lot more enjoyable, I must say, Played some good songs, a few new songs, maybe a few too many, but they were still very good.
Also, fun merchandise. Signed Elliot Minor poster for £5 was a bargain and is awesome. Also got David from The Mission District's signature. May go see them live in September, if I can drag my self away from Fresher's fortnight at Derby.
Then McDonald's again, but only for a drink this time.
Then we were on the Last Train Home, (Lostprophets in 2059 hours baby).
That was an experience, I must say.
So we're (Aimee, Adam and I) sitting around a table, as you do, then Calvin comes to sit with us.
And we were terrified by his speech, the self harm marks, the fact that he was smoking, was drunk, and was talking about being nice.
He also didn't believe us about Elliot Minor (or as he kept on saying, Harriet Minor), though we had three tickets, about ten flyers and a big poster.
Which scared us all. Thankfully, he left at Tame Bridge.
Then Aimee drove us home, which was nice, and now I'm finishing this blog post after having a shower to remove the sweat from my person.
Farewell!
The past week.
Starting with Thursday, Prom. Was a fabulous evening, meal was alright, tunes were fabulous, and more importantly I won the Accessorize award. Oh yes.
Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday went past quite quickly really. Most of the time was spent playing Monkey Island 2 and Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts. And I've finished both of them. Starting Curse of Monkey Island later.
Yesterday was strange, had a fun time un-networking and re-networking in different areas, and being introduced into four new Playfish games. Which are very exciting. And addictive.
Today has been pretty boring too, however my 1 TB hard drive arrived and I have lots of space available to me for the first time in months. Lots of good times.
Boring week really.
Gig, day out and parties in the next few days though, so that should be fun.
Farewell!
