well, this is it. crunch time. in about 15 seconds i have to do a presentation on what i’ve learned in 3d modelling this year. which isn’t much. and in a week, my whole university work has to be handed in. i haven’t started it. but don’t worry, it’ll get done. the thing is, this year has been so dull. absolutely. there’s been nothing but writing essays and reports, doing research for nothing, and practical work is currently unheard of. apart from sound for games where we occasionally make a bit of music, but then we have to write a report on what we did anyway. i just hope university isn’t this bad.

i have approximately £13 spare for tomorrow (after travel costs). i hope that’s enough. suddenly i’m not so excited to see the golden compass anymore. i’ve read a few comments at drowned in sound and they all say its badly done.  and i hope i get my money next week. ugh this week has been so bad.

i’ll stop moaning. now, music. over at theguardian.co.uk, they’ve compiled their top 20 albums of 2007. it’s a decent list, featuring the arcade fire, battles, lcd soundsystem etc., but very inaccurate. so i’ve decided i’m going to do my own tonight. and i’ll post it tomorrow. unless an album comes out in the next 24 days. then i’ll be buggered. anyway, i read the guardian. it’s a well-written newspaper, and the photography is always stunning. the website is pretty good as well, always a good read.

my friend has come up with an idea of a site where you post things you hate. he’s calling it nojustno.com. look out for it.

so like, i haven’t been updating this as much as i’d want to. pretty much because i don’t have much to say (for once). it’s been pretty interesting lately though.

firstly, saturday i saw leigh. we went to watch 30 days of night. it was… pretty alright. i guess. it was a typical and predictable horror (though one part made me jump, only once!) but the hero dies at the end, which is pretty unusual.

speaking of films, i saw “the birds” last night. although it’s a really good film, the ending just… well, it’s awful. they just… drive off. i don’t get it. couldn’t they have at least blew the birds up or soemthing? mind, thinking about it now, it is very logical, seeing as the army was possibly being called. for birds. yeah, i did enjoy it though. hitchcock movies always interest me, this one in particular.

anyway, back to saturday. we went shopping (leigh bought me some skinny jeans, when i finally let her) and we had a really nice time. we then went to a pub in sunderland, where i met some new people and got bought a legal pint! which was all good. then i had to go home, which wasn’t all good.

the night i just got drunk. you know how it is.

i am now however ill. my friend lydon is making sure i don’t die, which is good. last night i just stayed in for once. yeah.

i’m running out of things to say. something you might like is that i’m actually using categories again. that’s good.

so yes, i’m going to london friday.

everything is hectic and stuff and i haven’t had much time to post or anything, sorry for all you teaplusplusers! (both of you).

but when i get back from london i will be a FREE MAN so i will have plenty of time to update this and stuff, so no worries!

and the other day i saw a big spider in my garden. now, as any frequent readers might know, i am really scared of them and thought it was a camel spider. don’t ask why, i just did. turns out it was a rubber toy. how nice.
