Welcome to the Eurovision Politics Contest! Here are some singers to entertain you while we wait for bored families with nothing better to do to vote for which country they reckon is politically more popular.

10:43 am - Film: Deja Vu
Wow, that's one cool film...
I'm aware my girlfriend actuallt wrote a real review of this for her journalism class... so, I'm trying to take inspiration from that to make my words all pro-like... but that's already failing......
If you've liked Butterfly Effect, Sixth Sense, Memento or any sort of action film with a twist/time travelling sort of aspect, this is the film you'll enjoy.

10:23 am - New Accordion!
Score!
Got myself a nice new accordion nice and cheap (cheap as rather expensive (very expensive) chips (though the chips I bought the other day were even cheaper than normal chips because Woolworths priced it wrong!) ).....
Anyway, it's an 120 bass Italian accordion and it's pretty :)
Found my old Accordion music folder, started to sight-read some songs and my fingers started to just somehow know where to go, and I found I could still play (although I haven't played an accordion for well over 2 years)...
aaah, piccy after the cut!

07:32 pm - um...
You know, I haven't updated LJ for ages... it becomes something you only ever post on when you have a mild moment of insanity and feel like expressing yourself in writing... but you pretend to yourself that noone else is listening or reading... and let's face it, not many people do read other people's live journals... I bet 3 at the most will read this...
But yeh... thought I'd update!
If I haven't mentioned it before, I have a working projector thing in my room, which is cool... can't get my laptop to plug into it yet... but my PS2 does, which means big screen video games! yay!
Bought a swanky new coat today, which is swish.
I can smell nice food cooking, got a new coat, got music pumping out my surround sound and just spent the day with the most amazing girl in the world. I couldn't be more happy at this moment in time... although I could have used the last 3 minutes a little more productively...
Over and out!

06:57 am - Projector
ok, I'm up early cos I keep sneezing... so I thought I'd update my bedroom home theatre project thingy...
I've gone like, £10-15 over budget because of the expensive thingy to hook my surround sound up to my laptop... but no worries! It's all working!
I'll post some pictures up later today when I do a good test this evening.
Last night I stayed up till 10:30 playing Stuntman on my PS2... on my bedroom wall!!!
Was very fun being able to lie in bed and play on my PS2 :)
I ran it for just over an hour and a half and there weren't any heat issues... although when I was putting it away I learnt that the lcd panel gets f*****g hot... ow...
so yeh, project almost complete. Missing one cable to hook my laptop to my projector, which is coming from Hong Kong and should be here today! :)
Pictures later!!!

haven't updated for a while (again)... but, I've just bought an over head projector, which is fab, should be here by the end of the week... then I'm going to have to spend a week or so kitting it out for my home cinema thingy :)... although I've gone £10 over budget..... which isn't bad actually... considering that means £160 for surround sound projector home cinema system in my room... hope it works :p... I think I'm missing a cable too... there's always some tiny thing missing... pff...
Anyway, I've got little to report really... started making 'cubeshack V.2'... which hopefully will work!! it's more blog orientated... so, we'll see how that pans out I guess...

05:53 pm - Off again
right, I'm off again!
Just got through to my webhost and they're finally going to try and backup a load of my missing files...
Been working on my Chili Peppers Concert video of the 15th... I've got about 90% of it now... so thats good!
Also getting ready to do my parody video thing of metal gear solid, which should be a laugh.
I'm going away until next tuesday evening... again... I'm going alllll the way to lovely Bovey Tracy...... Where my dad will be for a while, so that will be great. Immediately after (basically) I'm off to Spain for a week... then I'm back in time for the 21st and carnival!
My phones being cool now after I FINALLY got it to work on my computer properly so I could upload games onto it... Motorola and games are very hard to get working together...
I'm enjoying the randomness of having two screens now... I can have different things on different screens at differnet times!
Also, I stayed up accidentally til 12:30 last night drawing pictures... got a bit carried away, been doing pencil sketches of photos from my trip to London a while ago.
Anywhoo... I may have a vague access to the internet whilst I'm away, but probably not to be honest...
Byes

went to my cousin's gay wedding at the weekend! what a blast! in the middle of Brighton and was sooo cool!
Chocolate fountain and Ice sculpture!... I might have to put some photos of it online sometime...
Got back last night and am just about settling in now!... going to my dad's on thursday/friday (not too sure yet...)
Bought a new phone the other day because my old one was getting on my nerves and was apparently sending blank texts. So, I got a shiney one, but with the same number thankfully!
Also just bought 3 Zuton tickets for Plymouth, which should be very cool!
I've managed to get hold of almost the entire chili concert on the 15th... gonna start doing some extreme editing tomorrow and see what I end up with...
I've decided to put up with my laptop a bit longer... partially because I'm coping and because my moneys are running a bit low now... and the longer you wait, the cheaper computers get anyway... I'm gonna sell my laptop starting at £200... later... I think I'd better format it first, as its full of loads of junk and weird programs and failed attempts at making it do things it doesn't want to do (like play any new games...)...
Goodnight... by god, I'm tired...

Gah... Yesterday kinda went downhill... Nicola left for Cornwall about mid-day, and I shan't see her for another week and a half... after which time I will shortly be leaving for Spain... Music day was quite fun yesterday, didn't get to perform because they were running 2 hours late and kicked me off the list... My website has been down for 3 days and WON'T WORK... yet, my host is determined that it's working... but when every single php page shows NOTHING, its not working... athough some of them show error messages... and its not my fault its not working, because I didn't touch it... it was fine one minute, now its buggered...
But then... in the evening we all went to Heather's... I got a bit drunk and we chatted in her garden for aaaages... which was really nice... then I came home to a nice surprise and went to bed... it all felt alot better after that...
Today... doing nothing... parcel still hasn't arrived for my projector part... I'm emailing him in a minute, and if it isn't here soon, I'm reporting him...

Med was fun last night :)
Had a good laugh =P
Today is music day, which should be fun. I'm playing about 7:00 I believe.
I'm getting irritated because my website hasn't been online for quite a few days... and my host don't seem to be able to fix it yet... I have to wait til tomorrow to see if they can fix it or not... gah...

08:40 pm - Chilis!
Ok.... Chilis rock so much...
That was absolutely amaaaazing... we went on 15th July to Earl's Court and it was fabulous... so good, they played so many of my favourite songs...
apparently there was like, 20,000 people there and we were at the FRONT... soooo cool! And we all were together so it was even better... unfortunately we have no photos, but there are clips on the net (youtube, google video etc. etc.)
Had a wicked time in London, on saturday (before the gig) we went sightseeing... I listed every landmark I could think of in London and we went to all of them.
Big ben, london eye, piccadily circus, covent garden, leister square, Trafalgar square, Buckingham palace. Was really fun! Then we went to the CHILIS! Which, as I've explained it was omfg-catterpillar-icecream-unbelievable...
Sunday we went Tate, which was really nice. In the evening we went to TGI Fridays in Covent Garden, which was well nice and we had an amazing (if not huge) meal.
Monday we shopped in Oxford Street, which was cool. and finally got a bus back =(
But we had a great time, hopefully we'll do it all again some time!
Note, this is an incredably condensed version of the weekend... I'm so very tired... and I've been home for 2 days already...

Wow... final countdown now!...

everything's packed and ready to go...

all will be goooood =)
Hopefully will be a huge blog entry with many images etc of our wicked time in London !!!!! =P

10:54 pm - Chillis!!
Well, in two days time I'll be at the chilli peppers =P
All is going well, been researching events in London etc. etc. and tickets for shows/cinemas and how long tube trains take from different stations etc....
All tickets are in a small sticky (why are they called stickies?) and ready to go!
Everyone needs to be prepared to:
a) sleep on floor
b) get 3 day underground pass when we arrive (costing £15.40 each I'm afraid, try and flash ur student card and see if we can get a discount =P [or flash anything else you have on you])
c) have a REASONABLE amount of luggage for bus and underground transport
d) We're a little walk away and a short underground journey from my aunt's... who lives about here:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=old+brompton+road+SW5&ie=UTF8&t=h&om=1&ll=51.489614,-0.189557&spn=0.000777,0.002704
me and my mum think we've worked out which house is hers =P
e) FOOOD... bring food for the saturday and if you can for sunday. Try to economise, we'll try and get cheap food from tescos etc. though. But, we will probably eat out somewhere nice at least once!
Ok... hopefully you all know my number, so call if you need any info.
Georgie NEEDS to be contacted and told to be at mine at about 5:30... I know what a pain it is trying to get in contact with her as it is...
Remember we're not allowed cameras into the concert, so... either be sneaky or have any camera equiped phone on you!

04:08 pm - Argh...
hmmm... can't find much to do at the moment... I'm sure there's just something I've forgotten about...
Been a lovely couple of days, really enjoyed myself =)
got my surround sound set up! not working yet... need the right sound card, which I've ordered (now costing £3.50 less than before, wooh!)
got off the phone a minute ago to a sales lady.. very short conversation:
Me: "Hello"
Lady: "Hello, I'm from Kitchen's direct..."
Me: "Oh god..."
Lady: "Would you be interested in hearing a quote for a brand new modern kitchen?"
Me: "Hell no."
Lady "Ok... bye..."
Me: "Bye Bye"
Finally finished 24 season 2. I've seen the ending before... but that last scene with the guns and the shooting and the sniping and the running and the coolio action scene... I got well excited! I love 24, best tv show ever =P
Got season 3 disc 1 from tesco dvd renting... which is pretty cool actually, they send you dvd's you want, you watch them, send them back... they send you another dvd... well cool =P
Hopefully all my stuff will come on monday so I can start setting up some sort of projector... I'm pretty certain I'll end up going over budget by maybe £10... which is irritating...
Oh well, gotta go... do... nothing... might eat something... hmm...
