Been a long time...

Now to that one person hidden away in a cave reading this you are probably wondering why I've not updated for a while. The fake excuse that that I've been terribly busy with life and all, work, visiting relatives, more work, a bit of sleep and more work, when in reality the real and simple reason is that I just haven't been arsed (and work).

So this one is going to be part rant and part (very) brief reviews.

Requiem For a Dream (Film) - Aronofsky, chop change, addiction, drugs, sex and TV - 9/10

Prototype (Game) - bloody, gory, silly, wall running, elbow dropping tanks, "consuming", ugly as sin - 6/10

X-Men Origins: Wolverine Uncaged Edition (Game) - beserker, claws, blood, robots, Hugh Jackman, Gambit, silly fun romp - 7/10

Skate 2 Maloof Money Cup Pack DLC (Game DLC) - small, enjoyable, tricky achievements, easy achievements, mini mega, street course, big half pipe - 8/10

Fallout 3 Point Lookout DLC (Game DLC) - massive, hunting rifle, inbred mutated freaks, lighthouse, english ghoul, spies!, robots!, explosions, tribals, bog walker - 10/10

Nokia E71 (Mobile Phone) - spanking new phone for me, speedy usable internet, qwerty keyboard, 5 minute snooze button = bad, MSTRKRFT Heartbreaker ringtone = good, mobile facebook and twitter, average games - 9/10

Left 4 Dead (Game) - zombies!, guns!, zombies!, survival, zombies!, hunters, zombies!, witches, zombies! and zombies! - 8/10



Call of Duty: World at War (Game) - only played four levels, soulless, WWII is a tired and overused setting, good engine, good mo-cap, felt like they messed up Infinity Wards game - 4/10

Homemade Timpana Round 2 (Cooking) - quick, easy, messed up the pastry rolling, bit too much wine, not enough salt, no salad - 8/10

Lego Land (Amusement Park) - for kids, for big kids, felt like a kid, maybe caught swine flu, lego Dalek, lego top gear lot, lego London, lego Hagrid, got wet, got hot, dried out, rode a dragon, shot many lego skeletons, humous, waffle on a stick - 8/10

Job (Job) - fisting chickens, cooking chickens, serving chickens, cooking ribs, serving ribs, cooking sausages, serving sausages, cutting ham, serving ham, cutting cheese, serving cheese, lots of washing up, time to read books, money!! - 7/10

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (Book) - Seth Grahame Smith, zombies!, made me want to read the original, polite bitchyness, polite putdowns, scandal, Shaolin, Ms. Bennett, Mr Darcy, Mr Wickham is a dick, Mr Bennet is indirectly funny, rain, graphic, great read - 10/10

================================================

Applying for a course change has never been so hard! Firstly sending emails I thought that maybe it would be a speedy and quick exchange gathering the information needed to go through with my desires. Oh how I was mistaken, the first email took three days to be responded too and the second is still waiting a response. I then asked my sister to phone up and it sounded like they wanted to get rid of her as quick as they could, when I finally managed to phone them myself I was told the person I needed to talk too would be half an hour, in exactly half an hour I had to leave for work, brilliant. I asked my sister to phone again and ask if she can arrange a meeting for Tuesday the 11th of August as its my only free day this week and they've said three times now its easier for me to talk to them face to face, lo and behold there is no-one for me to talk to tomorrow so I have to wait at least one more week before I may speak to a real human, face to face. Tomorrow I'll phone them myself and hope that luck prevails that I may get somewhere.

/rant over.
