Oops.

I forgot to post again.

All week.

So it's time for a mega long recap.

Problem there, is I've done very little, all week, making both the need for a post each day futile, as they'd all end up like the posts I made throughout May last year. (I'd recommend not clicking onto the May 2008 archives, it's truly awful) Still, I did do a few exciting things. Or witnessed a few exciting things.

This week has mainly been about Britain's Got Talent, in the same way the week before was all about Eurovision, and the week starting tomorrow will be mainly about Big Brother. However, what a wonderful week of Britain's Got Talent it was, loads of exciting peformances and fabulous acts, really enjoyed Diversity and thought they were a deserved winner.

Another exciting thing was recieving my RAM replacement. Instead of putting it back into my netbook (awh, Dell are discontinuing the Mini 9), I decided to put it into my iMac to give it a boost from 2GB to 3GB. I never really noticed the difference when it was in the netbook, so it seemed a bit futile to keep it there. Plus, with The Sims 3 RAM requirement of 2GB, putting the extra may make me a bit more awesome.

Or something like that. To be honest, I don't really see what RAM does. I believe bigger is better, though.

Oh well.

A third exciting thing was the arrival of my Bacon Salt. As suggested by Matty, it does smell like (Barbecue?) Pringles, but it tastes a little like bacon. Am planning to try using it on many things over the next months. Oh yes.

That's all for highlights.

Another, sort of highlight anyway, is the fact that I've done much revision at all. Like, nothing. I still don't know much Core 4, and I have a mock exam on Tuesday.

Though I'd count that as a highlight, it led into the biggest fucking lowlight ever. I've basically completely given up on exams now, as I just can't be bothered because of how Mechanics 1 went two Fridays ago. It's also made me think about how I'm not going to get the grades I need to get onto my university course, and whether I'll be able to manage and cope on the course if I do get upon it. Then I started thinking about what I'd do if I failed my course, or even if I failed to get on the course in the first place.

='(

Plus, because of the hot weather and my hay fever, I've been sleeping even more erratically than usual. Like, trying to get to sleep at 11pm, yet not falling asleep until 5am, then waking up at 8am because it's so bloody hot.

I'm off to go lie down and attempt to sleep, ready for my single revision session tomorrow. Actually, I do wonder if we have an ICT session tomorrow. Not that I care, to be honest. Ah well. I'll end up probably listening to some Lady Gaga and maybe watching some Big Bang Theory.

I hate this part right here. Like the song though.

The weekend. Also, exam one.

I may revisit one word titles at some point. I did think it was fun.

Okay, set the time to 6pm Saturday. I've just finished baking my cake, and I'm bringing my iMac downstairs. This produced problems in the form of 10.5.7, the latest Leopard update, failing to pick up my wireless network, and when it did find it, fail to mount my FireWire drive and not load any menu bar items. This messed up my plans heavily, so the iMac went back upstairs.

Now it's 8pm-ish, and most people are here, but my network is failing me on my netbook. Due to Eurovision starting, I had to stop, but these problems are fixed quickly later on.

A few minutes into Eurovision, and we're all laughing at Dima Bilan running through polystyrene, getting his coat stuck and lip-syncing terribly. Overall Eurovision was a bit mad, a bit strange (especially whatever was happening in the interval, that was especially mad), and very awesome (we came fifth, if you didn't hear). Overall, Eurovision was fabulous.

Apart from my Crucial RAM dying on me. I knew I wasn't going mad, about that it wasn't as good as the RAM I got from Dell. Ah well, at least I know now. Waiting for them to email me back now.

Say around midnight-ish, and I'm singing It's Raining Men, as performed by Geri Halliwell, covered by Adam Bennett and myself, on Lips, the video of which will probably be on the internet soon enough. I love Lips now, it's quite fabulous, I could spend 1600 Microsoft Points on songs if I had all of Lips and 1600 Microsoft Points. Ah well.

Make it 7am, and Lips is disappearing due to James Gittings and Adam Bennett going away, so I went to sleep and Matty, Foo and Mat played Peggle for four or so hours.

Then I don't think I did anything else on Sunday.

Today though, and I'm calling this Sam's week of most under-worn Ties. The Thinkgeek 8-bit Pixel Tie was todays.

Had the morning off doing some general revision, looked at some questions for PHAP, the Physics practical exam. Turns out looking at those was absolutely no help whatsoever, as the exam was nothing like anything. Question 1 went a bit iffy, could pick up most of the marks though. Probably not, I didn't know what I was meant to be talking about really, so I made it up. Question 2 was a bit stranger, could get most of the marks but the those on the last part, as I completely failed to answer two of the questions.  I'll never really know though, as it's joined with PA07, which might be a good thing.

That's basically it. Am now off to play Banjo Tooie, revise some Physics and Maths, and sleep.
