The Art Con

BBC launched a social media music chart: Sound Index.
‘Every six hours, Sound Index crawls Bebo, MySpace, Last.fm, iTunes, Google and YouTube to track which artists people are talking about, listening to, watching, and downloading. The results are compiled into a top 1,000 list presented on the site with a nifty CoverFlow-style animation. The index is currently analyzing over 23 million comments, posts, plays and views’ (@ReadWriteWeb)
Britney Spears is currently at the top of the ‘Artists’ section, while Leona Lewis’ ‘Bleeding Love’ is number one in the ‘Tracks’. Can’t say I’m very surprised. But it’s weird, no matter how many people slander Britney on her personal life, her music’s still popular. I failed to see the fascination of her when I was younger, and I still do now. Maybe her music is still good enough for some people regardless of what else she gets up to.
And I think it’s safe to say, I’m more or less out of touch out of all the ‘most popular music’ that’s being released. I’ve hardly heard of any of those artists let alone songs. Nice to see Sara Bareilles there though. She’s the one who sang ‘Gravity’ for the movie ‘Loving Annabelle’.

StumbleUpon’s got 5 million users and I’m one of ‘em. I’ve been using StumbleUpon for quite a while now. It’s a nice little way to find random sites when you’re not looking for anything in particular. With that, and Diigo, I’m all good to go to surf the web. Not literally though. I’ve never tried surfing. Maybe I should say skate the web. Either way, I’d still probably end up on the floor.

If you’re like me and have more then two e-mail accounts then you should seriously consider getting Windows Live Mail if you haven’t already. It supports Hotmail and Gmail (and Yahoo if you have a schmancy premium accounts). If you’re a bit iffy about it, don’t be. Give it a go. It saves a hell of a lot of time then having to constantly sign in and out of different accounts. There’s also always the alternative in Mozilla Thunderbird. But for some reason I never warmed to it – user’s preference as always.

WarGames is coming out with a remake. You can watch the trailer here. Wired led me to believe that it was a sequel. Which I think I could of been happy about. But no. It’s a remake. And by the looks of the trailer, a bad remake. Why oh why do they have to do this to movies like that. It’s fine just the way it is. Next thing you know they’ll be wanting to remake Hackers as well. Naa, they wouldn’t. Would they? Uh oh.

---

So I’m debating whether or not to go out.
Go. Don’t go.
Which is the equivalent to: Work. Don’t work.
I can’t decide whether or not I have revison/homework to do or not. Whether I can leave it till last minute or not. Knowing me, I probably can. But also knowing me, I’ll get back home and realise that I have some essays and a billion practice papers to do. Because that’s what teachers like doing you see. Instead of teaching, they like to give their students practice papers. They’re tired to by the end of the year. So that’s what they do. And then to make it even easier on them, they give you the mark scheme afterwards so you can mark it yourself, or they ‘go through it in class’ so they don’t have to mark the billion practice papers.
Meh. I’ll probably end up going. Could do with some Krispy Kremes, what with all the ‘hard work’ I’m doing.

You’re might be wondering what a hydralectacappala nynexghidralamapalc tusitricalafalfa is. It’s an animal found along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which only appears during the week of 30th February. It eats crocodiles and sometimes flies. It doesn’t like chips with ketchup. Sometimes it has wings, depending on the temperature. If you look at it from a certain angle, the patterns on its side look like Elvis Presley’s face. From time to time it jumps out of the water in search of a Range Rover, but nobody knows why. And it has very sharp teeth.

Guess who’s getting more RAM? That’s right people. Me. So once it’s installed and ready to go I’m going to find me some more freeware games.
Came across a neat little ‘Web Design Blog’. There’s a couple of vector designs on there which are pretty impressive.

There’s 2 Tegan and Sara blogs worth checking out if you like them: T&S Banter and T&S Live. The titles are pretty much self-explanatory. It’s just a bunch of video clips of their concerts. Don’t think they get updated very often, but it’s easier then browsing through YouTube.

If you haven’t played The Impossible Quiz yet, then where have you been all this time? You’ll either love it or hate it, think it’s genius or think it’s really stupid.

Uh Huh Her’s album release date has been pushed back. Way back. Which makes me kinda bummed. But only kind of, because even though I have to wait until August now, it’ll be after my exams so it’ll be less of a distraction. Anyway, what it also means is that I made another video for the little competition of theirs.

I used to read Beano when I was a kid. Back when it was around 40p and came with a drumstick (the sweet not the meat), or some equivalent fun free little gift. Now, last time I checked (which was a couple of years ago), it was 80p. It might even be as much as £1 now. What is this madness? I stopped buying it because through the years I could notice how they were slowly raising it by 5p every time I went to buy it. Honestly, exploiting little kids like that. I wasn’t going to fall for it.
One thing I miss the most though, is the Funday Times. Which has turned into some website I think. I refused to go on it after it stopped being printed. That was a very sad day. What would the Sunday Times be without the Funday Times? Nothing, I tell you. Nothing.

Tigger was the best character in Winnie the Pooh.
Piglet takes second place.
And Woody was always better then Buzz.
And…
Hakuna Matata.

The chances of someone hearing of blippr here is minimal, but if you have, I’ve got 3 invites to send so if anyone wants one, just ask. From the site: ‘blippr will change the way you discover, recommend, and organize media with your friends.’. I’m sure it will.

If fairies exist this code will work:

There better be a line up there. I wish there was a preview button on this thing.
So I’m going to see how this post works out. Hopefully it won’t look too wacky.

There are a lot of random things in my room. Toys from when I was as young as 8, mugs from when I was…well they’re not really mine. They’re just there. There’s also a rubber ducky that lights up every now and again.
There’s even a little piece of dynamite lego. I miss Lego. That and K’Nex, but Lego was by far the ultimate toy. Even if sometimes it was impossible to take 2 bricks apart. But there’s so many different types of lego. There’s the Star Wars, the pirates, the witches and wizards, the ninjas, and even the cowboys…that’s all I remember. Ah, good times. I don’t know what that red fluffy blob is doing there though. You always seem to get them for free at random convention thingys. Which is weird because I’ve never been to a random convention thingy, so how it got there, I’m not sure. As you know, like any other fluffy blob, it’s got sticky feet. And for some reason, I stuck it on top of this old minidisc (boy minidiscs are old!) player. So now it will be there…forever. So I guess that’s why it’s there.

Moving on to my computer desk. There’s the little ‘music player’. It’s the kind of thing that you turn and…I don’t really know how to explain it. What I can explain though, is that it plays ‘Here Comes The Sun’ by The Beatles. But that doesn’t really explain anything. It’s cute, small, and…*lightbulb-ding* Ohh, it’s the kind of thing that you find in a music box. That’s it. My bad way of explaining things.
You might be thinking this describing of what’s on my desk/shelves is obviously an excuse to test out posting pictures. Well, that’s exactly what it is my friend. Because other then that, this is just very boring. But you’re still reading, so it can’t be that boring. Otherwise you would’ve stopped. Or maybe you already have and nobody’s reading this. Picture time!

The ultimately amazing one of a kind thing on my desk.
Yes, that is what you think it is. Unless you’re thinking the wrong thing, then it isn’t what you think it is. That is my very own rubber band ball. It bounces, rolls around, and of course, provides rubber bands when you need them most. Multi-purpose at its greatest. I don’t know what’s going to happen to it later on in life. Will it travel with me to university? And then to my first job? And then to my first apartment? And then to my first car/bike? Chances are, no. I would’ve probably lost it before I even got to university. But it’s the thought that counts. And who knows, maybe I’ll have another one when I’m older. I could make a few. And then they could be like those Russian Dolls. Aw, that would be sweet. Anyhow, if anyone ever happens to make the rubber band ball equivalent to Russian Dolls, give me a buzz. And a picture. I’ll stick it in my notebook.

When you take a picture with a camera, remember to take the cap off. Otherwise all your pictures will turn out the same. It’s like copying and pasting, but more expensive and better quality on shiny glossy paper.

The good ol’ days of IRC. Although, it’s not that old. And, it’s not like it’s died out. QYN should get an IRC channel. Could be fun. Anyway, I’ve always used X-Chat (the free one though). Came across Mibbit. Which rhymes with ribbit, which turns out to be convenient as their logo is a frog. Clever people. Anyway, unlike X-Chat, mIRC or whatever, it’s all done online. I might try it out seeing as there’s a little function that enables you to search for IRC channels, that will come in handy.

————————————————————————————————————————-

This post was going to be a lot more exciting, with pictures and everything (yes, that exciting), but then I discovered the software that’s used to put the pictures from my mobile to my computer is very out of date. So, as any other sensible person would do (and believe it or not, I am sensible sometimes. Shock, horror), I proceeded to download the updated software. It says ‘This may take several minutes. Please wait.’ Well I’m waiting.

And still waiting.

This might take a while. ‘Several minutes’ could mean anything. Several minutes could mean 525,600 minutes, and that’s a long time.

When you make a Blogger account you have this profile, and one of the questions at the end is a ‘Random Question’. The first one that came up for me was something about things made out of plastic. Then I thought, what if a house was made out of plastic? And I don’t mean just little doll’s houses, I mean proper, what-people-live-in houses. It would have to be some pretty strong plastic wouldn’t you say? It’d be kinda weird to. What if it was clear plastic, and then you could just see everything in your house. Might come in handy. Like say if you needed to keep an eye on the cooking, you’d be in your room, just look at the floor and you’d be able to see the kitchen right below you. Wouldn’t get much privacy though. But, you wouldn’t have to worry about plaster peeling off the walls and you can get coloured plastic instead of painting it.
If I had a plastic house, I’d have one of those sprial slides instead of having to walk down the stairs. Haven’t really decided on how you would get up in the first place though. Anyway, I was just thinking. I’m not expecting this to happen any time soon.

Oh, well, would you look at that. Update’s finished. My brain’s turned to mush. I think I need to update that as well. I wonder if I can download it from somewhere. I guess it doesn’t really work like that though does it? Tis not like The Matrix.

I just saw a rubber duck fly past my window.

Now that, my friend, was a joke. Rubber ducks don’t fly. They float. Besides, it’s too cold outside. They’re better off inside a nice warm bath tub.

My parents told me the other day that as a kid I couldn’t say the word ‘fish’. And instead I said ’shoe’. So you can imagine, me, little 2 or 3 year old me, parents pointing at the fish tank saying ‘Look, fish. Fish. F-i-s-h. Fiiiishhhh.’ And then me shouting enthusiastically ‘Shoe! Shoe! SHOE.’ I don’t think I was too bright as a kid.

LittleBigPlanet is the cutest game ever. And I want one of those toy versions of Sackboy.

What else…I guess I’ll do an update on my life. My life and me. Me and my life. So let’s see what’s changed since I last did one of these posts…umm. Well, saying what’s changed since the last post would actually involve me going back and reading my last one, and then you’d have to go and read it to to remember, but me and you just don’t have that kind of time now do we? Because we’re busy, busy people. So let’s make this simple and assume that not much has changed since then, except now I sleep in an igloo.

That’s not true.

It’s called a joke. You know, ha ha. Joke. Funny. No? Ok.

But what’s a blog without a rant? I once told someone that I would just post a massive rant and that’s it. I never did it though. Don’t know why. I think I forgot. My memory isn’t so good. Old age and all. Don’t go thinking I’m 90 though. Because I’m not. I’m not that old. I’m not that old at all. In fact, I probably sound like a 10 year old right now. No, I’m 6321 days old. I think. Maybe my Maths is wrong. Which would be a bad thing since I’m taking Maths for A Level.

Err, oh right, I was supposed to be ranting. Rant, rant rant. You know, if you take the ‘n’ out of ‘rant’ you get ‘rat’. Just though I’d say. Oh, and then if you take the ‘r’ out of ‘rant’ you get ‘ant’. Ah, all these animals out of one little word.

Right, back to my life and ranting. I’m trying hard to stay on topic. Oh, actually I know something serious to talk about. My life has been weird the past couple months. Getting abducted by aliens, eating a rainbow turkey, and riding a unicycle up Mount Everest. That might be perfectly normal for some people, but it isn’t for me.

In the post today I got a letter from ‘Fortune’ magazine (I don’t know what that is either) and they were offering me 26 issues for a tenner. Then my dad goes ‘Look who’s all posh getting offered business magazines.’ And then I go, ‘I know, I deserve one of those black American Express cards or something.’ And then my dad goes, ‘No, probably a black Toys R Us card.’
Ok, firstly, I think I should get something a bit better then a Toys R Us card. But secondly, why did my dad say a Toys R Us card?! Toys R Us. I haven’t been to Toys R Us in centuries. I think he’s subliminally trying to tell me something. Like I’m still an immature little kid who likes Lego. Now, I may still like Lego, but that doesn’t automatically make me an immature little kid. Or maybe it does. I don’t really know how it’s supposed to work. He could’ve said something like ‘HMV’ or ‘Borders’ or…whatever. But no, he chooses Toys R Us.

Ok, I guess that’s it. Gotta go back to saving the world and stuff. But don’t tell anyone that it’s me. Because I’m like one of those superhero type people. Without the fancy tight costumes, because frankly, they’re just uncomfortable. I don’t know how Spiderman copes. Although I wouldn’t mind Batman’s costume. That’s cool.

I would stay an chat but I’m busy. Because like I said, I’d be too busy saving the world from evil chocolate stealing monsters. Think they don’t exist? That’s the point. Why do you think there’s still chocolate in the world? Yep, it’s because of me. You’re welcome.

I go to school next to The White House. I’m serious. It’s the actual white house. The big white. White House. The fancy crib of the big man. It’s not that big in real life. No Secret Service people with fake earpieces, no fancy limos, no all you can eat buffet. I thought it would be more exciting, but no. Maybe I should suggest relocating the school next to Buckingham Palace. Now that would be more exciting, right? But for now I’ll stick with The White House, because I guess not many people would get this opportunity. Only a couple of people can say ‘I went to school next to The White House’. Do you not believe me? Because I’m getting this I-don’t-believe-you vibe off of you. Now why would I ever lie to you? Because I wouldn’t. I have no reason to. I tell the truth. The truth, I tell. I’m like Yoda. Yoda, I am like. Like him, I shall speak. Wise, I am. Green, I am not. But back to proper talk, if you don’t believe me, then I have proof. Proof! Seriously, I have proof. The evidence. The Top Secret, highly confidential, your eyes only, evidence. It’s sensitive information. You should feel privileged. Anyway, the proof is somewhere around in a top secret safe in an unknown location, so if you’re lucky (and know a leprechaun) then maybe, just maybe, it might makes it’s way to the end of this post.

But as if that news wasn’t big enough, there is even bigger news: I got an iPhone. Crazy, I know. Cue pictures and slideshow music:

And mine’s different from anyone else on here who’s got an iPhone. Yes, it’s that special. I never thought I would like an iPhone, but now I do. So far, it’s been indestructible. And the battery lasts quite literally forever. The only bad thing is that I don’t think it’s waterproof. Maybe I should scrap that part about it being indestructible. Anyway, it’s also ridiculously thin. Paper thin. Well, card thin at the most. See:

I wasn’t joking around about the card-thin business. And it does this:

I know I know. You’re probably wondering ‘O-M-G where can I get one?’ and saying, ‘That is so unbelievably cool.’ And I’ll reply, ‘Yes, yes it is cool. But you can’t get one.’ And then you’ll look all upset and I’ll feel guilty so I end up telling you that if you happen to go into an Apple Store or possibly a mobile phone store, then maybe you can get your hands on one for, dare I say it, free. But get one soon because these things are flying off the leaflet stands like no other. So far they’ve only got an 8GB version out, but knowing Apple they’ll cram in some more storage space and hey presto there’s a new model out in no time.

Lindor break.
2 seconds later…
Back from Lindor break.
For those of you who don’t know (or who live on Mercury) Lindor is chocolate. I don’t think Lindor supply Mercury with it because they said something about it being too hot. I guess their fridges aren’t as good as the ones that Venus has. But don’t quote me on that, I’ve never been to either.

Cartoons have dumbed down from when I was a kid. I was watching Batman with my cousins and my brother (for the record we are aged 15-18…go figure) on CITV this morning. I guess we’re ‘mature’ enough now to think some things in cartoons are just plain stupid. I wasn’t really following the story line, but I’m guessing it was the usual Batman kills evil bad guy. But I did catch this one line that Batman was saying. It was in that deep, dramatic, super-hero voice and he said, ‘It’s not odd. It’s weird.’ My deep, sophistcated, high class knowledge into the English language tells me that ‘weird’ and ‘odd’ mean the same thing. But maybe that’s just me and not the writers for Batman.

I haven’t forgotten about that Top Secret proof yet. But maybe you did. And now I reminded you. Darn diddly-o-go-do. But I have it. After a car chase down the motorway, drove into the ocean, I jumped out last minute, landed on a jet ski, rode across the ocean, scuba dived into the deep blue, said hi to Nemo, swam into an underwater cave, and emerged in an underground HQ. Wearing all black, I climbed into the vents, found my way to the vaults, cracked the safe, and escaped with the evidence. Now, I tried to take this picture without anyone noticing, but I failed, and they confiscated it and ended up in that place. It was a difficult picture to take, but it’s all the proof I need. You can still tell that it’s The White House though and it’s 100% real.

Lying, I was not. Chocolate, you owe me. Bet, we did not. But pretend, we shall. May the force be with you.

So I’m a day late in saying this, I realise, but wasn’t planning on blogging yesterday, so deal with it. YouTube’s recently been slowly developing their layout. Now it was time for one of their more obvious changes. The video pages are a little snazzier with tabs where they make it oh so much more easier to share on websites such as MySpace, Facebook, and Digg. There’s also an extra ‘Statistics & Data’ tab. But it doesn’t display anything new – as in, all the information it says was already there before the makeover.
Active sharing is, I’m guessing, officially out. That is, you don’t have to go to TestTube anymore to get to it. I wonder when all the others will be ‘ready’. They’ve just been sitting there for an awfully long time. ‘Streams’ seem like a cool feature though, and I can see that one working out fairly nicely…if only for popular videos, in order to get some good conversations going.

‘Six Awesome Ways To Learn About Music (While Listening To It)’ (@Mashable)

Clearing some space on your computer (Windows people only. Sorry Macs and Linux people. Especially Macs. Linux people probably couldn’t care less about this though):
Ok, so there’s the usual ‘Disk Cleanup’ and the ‘Disk Defragmenter’, that cleans the computer up a bit. Then you’ve got freeware (yay, freeware) like the CCleaner, aka Crap Cleaner, where that will get rid of even more useless junk. Here’s something else for you to try. Go to your ‘Command Prompt’ (if Vista, right-click and click on ‘Run as Administrator’ type ‘vssadmin List ShadowStorage’. Next to ‘Used Shadow Copy Storage space’ there may or may not be a big number. I had about 25GB. But if there is a big number go ahead and run ‘Disk Cleanup’ go to the ‘More Options’ tab, under ‘System Restore and Shadow Copies’ you can get rid of that 25GB easy as pie by clicking ‘Clean up’. Now I have 25 gigs free again.
(Shadow copies are just old ‘restore points’ so if your computer’s running normally now, then it should be fine to just delete your old restore points up until your most recent one. Besides, they take up a lot of space).

———————————————–
See the line. Yeh, that one ^ up there. That will from now on signify end of boring internet computer talk. So if you can’t be arsed to ever read that, then you can just skip to down here. Sometimes the line might never appear, which means it will just be me babbling as usual, talking about nothing interesting. Might save you some time. I know how everyone likes to be ‘efficient and productive’ these days.

So it’s the weekend once again. I have a nectarine and a 1/4 filled cup of juice left to finish off.
I wrote out my GCSE timetable with pretty little felt-tip coloured pens. And then after, I saw that my hands ended up getting covered in said pretty little felt-tip coloured pens. I don’t really know how that was possible, but whatever pen I write with, I somehow always get it on my hands. Biros, highlighters, gel pens, fountain pens, even pencils – you name it, it’s been on my hands.

There are times where I wish we could embed pictures on blogs *cough* *hint* *angelic smile* Unless it’s been changed, but last time I checked it was a no go. [Edit: Oh wait, it does work. My bad. Gotta test that out tomorrow then.]
I always wonder who gets to read this before I get a chance to quickly edit it and correct stupid mistakes, in other words links gone wrong. That must be fun for them to read. Oh those lucky few.

I was just looking around my room and my eyes wondered up on to the top bookshelf. Oh look, old Sea Monkeys Container. And if you don’t know what Sea Monkeys are, then…you are crazy mad…I don’t know what you are, but you’ve missed out. I l-o-v’d them when I was a kid. Then 1 or 2 years ago, when a new girl came into my year, we got them again just for fun. They are the coolest thing ever. Fascinating little creatures I tell you. I should get some more when it’s the Summer holidays. Ah, memories.
Gots to go’s now. Dinners times yous sees.

Never leave a chocolate cake unattended in the presence of anyone. You will never see it again. Then, demand that someone buy you another one. With a cookie on the side. Can’t forget the cookie – it’s all about bargaining.

Don’t you hate when there just isn’t enough time? I come home from school, after spending around 7 1/2 hours there, and there just isn’t enough time to do anything in the evening. I have to reply to emails, do homework that I should’ve done earlier, have a look at my million different RSS news feeds, write this, drink some juice, play a bit of Nintendo DS, read and eat dinner. Admittedly, I can actually cut out some of that stuff from time to time, but even so, NO TIME. Contrary to belief, I’m no Supergirl.
So while I write, I shall multitask and attempt to do other things…

Intermission

Flickr’s got video. It’s not as friendly as you think though. You have to be a I-have-so-much-money Pro member in order to upload videos there. And videos can only be 90 seconds long. Pointless? I think so to.

Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Pooter. Yes Pooter), will reprise his role in Equus, this time on Broadway. I never saw it when it was in the West End, but my friends did. For…various reasons. Anyone see the play? All I know, is that there were horses.

Photobucket’s got a new app for MySpace called ‘Top Pics’. From the website: ‘Top Pics lets you show off your favorite images and photos on your MySpace profile page in a cool ‘grid’ with a personalized background.
Add images from your MySpace photos, your friends’ MySpace photos, or from anywhere in Photobucket.’ I always find it weird whenever websites advertise something as being ‘cool’. It always makes me automatically think ‘This is not going be cool then is it?’.

So back to my million things to do, which after I finish this, will become 999,999 things to do. I’ll cram everything in somehow.
Although, the sooner I finish this, the sooner I can get more things done. The more things I get done, the more time I’ll have to sleep. The more time I’ll have to sleep, the more awake I’ll be at school. The more awake I’ll be school, the more I’ll pay attention. The more I’ll pay attention…well, that will never happen. Because even if I was awake enough to pay attention, I’d get distracted. So really, I don’t even know what I’m saying. I’m just saying whatever I’m thinking, and that’s making me type really fast, and my fingers are getting a real workout. But gotta save the energy for those emails.

So, put a Malteaser on your lips. Blow, and try and catch it in your mouth again. Or, you can just eat it normally, like any other regular human being. The choice. Is yours.

Well, that’s it. Holiday’s are officially over for me.

I’m wondering when this Facebook chat thing is going to come my way. Some people already have it, why not me? I’m only curious. It’s not like I’m actually going to use the damn thing. It’s almost as if the internet wants me to re-live my MSN days of pointless conversation. How kind. There better be some way to disable it. At least with the MySpace IM they gave you a choice of downloading a piece of software to put it to work.

I go on random visits to DeviantArt every once in a while. I always like to see art that other people have done. I also came across this website, it’s a ‘Digital Art Community’. The title pretty much speaks for itself.

Jason Mraz has a new video for his song ‘I’m Yours’. It’s from his new album ‘We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things’ out 13th May, which features James Morrison and Colbie Caillat – the girl who sang this nice little song.

I want to get one of those small mp3 players. Like one of those that holds 1000 songs or something. iPods are great and all but going for a run, skating, even cycling, I hate having this huge bulge in my pocket. And I tend to wear slightly baggy trousers, so especially when running, it kinda pulls my trousers down. I know, I know, wear a belt. But my trousers don’t have one of those put-your-belt-through-here places, so it’s not as easy as it seems. Anyway, yeh, so I want one of those small mp3 players. Which means I’ll have to save up some of my non-existent pocket money. I wonder what the cheapest one I can find is…

You wish you could swim in a pool of chocolate, but really, when you think about it…no.

[to be read in that serious, tad bit posh, with a hint of formality newscaster voice]
Good morning, this is the The Cow Goes Moo news. Headlines today:
*dong* Olympic torch passes through London *dong* Scientists scrap theory of Global Warming. They say Global Cooling is our main worry now *dong* The cow jumped over the moon, but why did the dish run away with the spoon? *dong* Pre-order an autographed copy of Uh Huh Her’s Common Reaction before 16th May *dong* I have 2 new Nintendo DS games and a new PC game *dong* Fred likes origami

Yesterday, I got Mario Kart and Brain Training. And I got Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 to. 3. I didn’t even know they had a 2. I remember back in the day, when I had the original Roller Coaster Tycoon. It’s changed so much. Well of course it’s changed, it’s been 50 years since I last played it. The graphics are, woah. It’s all very 3D and fancy. I mean, compared to other games, the graphics are kinda crap, but compared to when I last saw it, it’s a pretty good improvement. And new version, means new rides, means new stalls, means new everything, means more fun, means more procrastinating time taken up. So it’s all good.

I don’t know why the dish ran away with the spoon. Ask the Owl and the Pussycat, they’ll probably know more then I do. I hear they got free tickets to Hawaii though, so maybe that had something to do with it.

I woke up to this this morning. Looks like it’s winter again people. Now, I lost my last jacket at a netball tournament so this means someone needs to get me a new one. Or, you know, I can just freeze. I think I’ll have to get out my old ski trousers/puffy coat in order to tough this one out. This snow is just confusing me. Is it winter or spring? Make up your mind already!

Fred likes origami (short random quicktime movie).

Stay warm, don’t go out without a bobbly hat. And when a calculator says 8×2 is 63, don’t believe it.
