Omg she got off the plane!

Friends season finale for the fourth time since I started this blog. How amusing.

Quite surprising to me, sort of, as I haven't really been watching Friends this past run through.

Anyway, yes, the past few days I suppose.

On Monday, I spent most of the day being cool and playing Burnout Paradise, finishing about 50 events and 50 road rules to get the Burnout Elite License, which is now awesome.

On Tuesday, it was Matty's barbecue which was nice, as there was a steakwich and some burgers. Fun day really, as I saw some friends for the first time in a week or so. Also figured out the reason as to why I stopped playing Nuts & Bolts, which is because it was so boring. I may finish the story, but I just can't be bothered.

Today was quite mediocre, got my hair cut and attempted to learn the Single Ladies dance for Prom, which isn't going so well. However, got around to getting ScummVM working so I can play me some Monkey Island.

Obviously also watching Friends season finale, which has just finished. Planning to spend the evening being a pirate in Monkey Island 2, and maybe go back to finally finish Half Life 2: Episode 2. Maybe Oblivion and try to go through the side quests as well as the actually quests, as I managed to avoid most of them last time. Also trying to see if I can spend some money on Firebox to take advantage of a 20% off offer they're having.

Anyway, farewell!

Money.

I need some. Could probably do with a job.

Actually, to be honest, I'd probably be better off by not spending the little that I do have left.

For example, I've spent roughly ¬£360 these past two weeks, which is roughly half of the money I possess. And I keep on buying things, like The Orange Box. Again. But I don't care, as it only cost ¬£5.66, which is about 1/7th of what I paid for it the first time.

Oh well.

Maybe I should apply for student finance so I can live in September. That sounds like a pretty good idea, actually. Might do it this weekend.

Actually, I was planning to sleep through most of the weekend, to make up for the less than 24 hours sleep total I've had these past seven days. Knowing me though, I'll still be up in four hours time watching Two Pints or something.

Or maybe playing The Orange Box through on a different platform. Or maybe both.

The possibilities are endless!

Oh, more facts.

I have finally installed Windows XP. It took around 8 hours to sort out my problems.

I have completed 29 pages of C# 2008 for Dummies book, creating one program in the process.

I have added 181 songs from 16 different artists to my iTunes library.

I found out that Last.fm in Windows is much more functional than it is in Leopard.

I have changed the badges on my bag.

I have recorded 23 hours worth of television since we broke up from school five weeks ago.

I have gained 835 Gamerscore since we broke up from school five weeks ago.

I have upgraded Wordpress three times since we broke up from school five weeks ago.

I have baked cakes from three different kits, Dennis the Menace cupcakes, Mickey and Friends cupcakes, and Butterfly cupcakes. I have had the materials to make 34 cakes, yet produced only 31, as three Butterfly cakes fell out and burst whilst cooking.

I have been to Cannock four times, and Cannock Park three times. I have been to Birmingham and Stafford once. I have been to Lichfield five times, and Sutton Coldfield three times.

I have deleted 60 spam comments since we broke up from school five weeks ago. I am indifferent, spam is bad, traffic is good. I am also thankful for Akismet.

I have completed Half-Life, and finally completed Half-Life 2 Episode 2.

I have backed up 27 GB worth of content via two Time Machine backups since we broke up from school five weeks ago.

I have deleted 72 GB worth of content from my Mac from music, TV shows and general crap.
