MrMaycock.com The blog of a nineteen year old university student

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. =)
