Blogging

Sat Aug 8, 2009, 1:18 PM
Not on a Macintosh in Starbucks wearing a turtleneck and drinking a skinny soy decaf extra dry cappuccino. But I will be doing a spot of regular blogging over at my website, joemuddiman.co.uk (hosting by =hyperized!)

Well that was clever...

Go me... today I managed to drop my camera :| Flat on its face as well :( Thankfully the lens itself still works, as does the camera, but the filter took a bit of a bruising and is now stuck. So my options are: take orange photos forever; force it out and strip the filter threads and then not be able to use filters ever; break out the Dremel and have some fun cutting it up, or; pay for someone to sort it D: I will probably do the latter.

I have rubbish luck :(

Oh and so apparently you can't even post images in your journal unless you're subscribed. CSS I can understand, but photos? The fuck? :|


Oh, I got the lens fixed. Only scars are two chips where it hit a rock, then bounced and hit it again :crying: [link]

Finished

So it's finally over, all this exam malarky. I shall be leaving London (:() next Thursday to travel back up to the good North and knuckle down to some hard graft. In a library. Stacking shelves. For five weeks :| Oh well, at least I get paid a decent wage.

I really don't want to leave the city this year. I've really got used to life here, and I'm pretty sure three months of Leeds is going to bore me to death :( I can't wait for the beginning of October when I can come back down here and start my third (third!) year of uni. It's honestly preposterous to think that I'm halfway through my degree. Or, if the examiners don't happen to think my answers to the exam questions are any good, I'm going into my FINAL year. Shit!

Other than working this summer, I have absolutely zero plans. Yay. What about you guys? Anything interesting going on to make me jealous?

Finally, heat!

Finally, some nice warm weather. Apparently it's going to be hot for at least into the middle of next week, which is all well and good, but when you're in a lecture theatre famed for it's consistent hell-like heat, things begin to look less rosy. Add in the temptation to head on down to the Waterside for a cool beverage and a seat by the Thames when you're supposed to be working, and things look pretty much rose-free.

Anyway, in four weeks or so, it's going to be me in a head-on collision with an exam paper. And then six more or so after that. Great. Wish me luck, I'm going to need it.




And if you can do that, you're sitting my exams for me. Deal? Good.

update

Just a quick update about things going on in this part of the world...

University is going really well for a change, all of the classes we have are interesting, and I seem to be able to understand it.

Landlords are useless. Especially when they don't reply to emails or phone messages. I'm just going to buy and fix the stuff that is broken in my flat, and then send them an invoice.

I installed Vista for the lulz. However, it isn't actually that bad >_> Granted it is the 64bit version, but I haven't had a single problem with it, and now I've got used to getting around the new Explorer windows it is much nicer to use than XP. It is about as fast too.

Also, I am going to buy a fisheye lens for the fun of it. They make me laugh so much that £350 is a bargain for that amount of amusement.

I hate Christmas, and I really can't face going shopping for peoples' stuff. I may go down the Internet shopping route this year.

Oh, and Holly is awesome :heart:
