so england suffered the worst earthquake in 24 years or something, and man was it fun! i was just dozing off to sleep when it hit (redcar for a rating of IV) and it shook the room i can tell you that. at first i had no idea what was happening, being half asleep and all, but that woke me up. it was great fun. i just wish they gave us time to prepare so we could have set up a bouncy castle. that would have been great. i feel sorry for anyone in surgery at that time though. was there any casualties? i’ve heard about one, but that’s it.

anyway, i’ve been getting back into interactive fiction. oh yes, text based games. they’re great. i used to play them way back, and i’ve found a particularly great one called varicella (yes, that’s chicken pox). it’s about a palace minister with a plan to become king. i haven’t got very far (you have like 2 hours in game time to beat it) and i haven’t managed to kill any of the ministers yet. but i’m still feeling my way around. i’ve downloaded a whole load of games, as well as an editor so i can make one of my own. should be good.

other then that, i’ve spent my time watching arrested development over and over. it’s perhaps my new favourite show, and they’ve confirmed a movie! which is great news. i’ve heard that series three isn’t very good, but i’ll find out for myself.

a very… interesting post.

yeah, don’t worry. my lack of posts recently is due to laziness. i haven’t had much to say really.

anyway yes! hello hello hello. wow, since my last post, quite a bit has happened. well, not really. leigh stayed over again, that was fun. i saw leigh this weekend, but i’ll come to that in a sec.

i got a place at leeds metropolitan. that was pretty awesome, and i seriously can’t wait.

but yeah, this weekend has been rather fun. firstly, i had an awful morning. everything was going wrong: things weren’t dry, woke up late, bath was cold, taxi was late etc. i met leigh in newcastle, and it was her friend alan’s birthday. so we went to yo sushi, which was really nice. then we went clothes shopping. we went round a few shops to look for clothes, and i got some. all interesting stuff. we had a really nice time though. then we went back to her house, and i was really getting on with her parents and stuff. which was really cool. then we went to sunderland, and i had to go home. only the trains weren’t running, and there was a bus running instead. the bus left a good half hour before the train did. so i missed that one. we were told another one would be coming. but it didn’t. so in a frantic panic, leigh and rachael tried to find somewhere for me to stay. it ended up being leigh’s house, but her parents were NOT happy about it at all. so we were all a bit down, the night ruined, sat in a pub. woke up the next morning, and it was very very awkward and silent. i then left for home. so i’ve ruined a lot this weekend.

anyway, other then that, it’s been a pretty good few weeks.
