Oh great and mighty Cactus, art thou finished with my own Sim? I would heartily love it if you have completed it.

One day im going to have to learn japanese, when that day comes im going to blow up your inbox. Im not being sarcastic. Long story. If you have any kind of link or suggestion or something on how to get started you would be my hero.

Japanese is awesome, I almost singed up for a course at the start of the year. I still know a few words though and I can introduce myself. Though it would be strangely hilarious if I went up to a Japanese and said:
"Hajimemashte, Minnasan desu. Yoroshku."

Not really. I felt the same when I first joined but it's actually quite useful for organizing stuff. Just one thing though, stay away from Facebook quizzes, they are fail.

agreed. EX - "Are you pregnant?"... What kind of quiz is that. I found out I'm pregnant. God, didn't know guys could get pregnant.

GAH!
Skype is so annoying, and unstable! The old skype worked fine. This new one constantly breaks up...

It ruined my Portal Race.

Do you still get cake?

I stopped even trying near the end of test chamber 19. Every time I disconnected and reconnected to skype, the next word or so would be clear, then the rest would be all juttery. I did not have this problem with the old skype!

So no, I didn't get cake.

That's interesting. How's it feel to be everybody?

Or is that actually your name?

Minnasan is a nickname I got from one of my many Japanese studying friends, I can't even remember who it was now. It feels rather awesome to be everybody.

And so far in the two hours and 25 minutes of this day I've mostly been very sleepy and contemplated sleeping....

Just come back from seeing my dad's band play in the St. John's Street Fayre. If you were there, r, you probably saw him. He was in the Bounty Hounds

(he's not on that webpage though, he only joined recently)

I woke up with a terrible headache this morning, so I spent some hours watching TV. Then I have done nothing but reading all day. Most of the time outside in the sun, with a glass with icecold coke in my hand. Can life be better?!

So I worked at the racecourse from noon until gone midnight yesterday then 9 until 7:45 today. I am more or less clinically dead now, but highlights of the weekend included:

* A crazy Afro-American woman constantly giving me massive tips

* Seeing a customer who we decided looked like a Latvian oil baron

* Having a long-overdue re-union with a guy who I worked with there last year

* Hearing Midge Ure playing 'Vienna'. It was epic.

* Repeatedly serving a customer who looked like Jimmy Saville, and every time he got out of earshot we were turning to each other and saying "Now then, now then! The band was... Showaddywaddy!" and the like.

Now it's time for a JD and Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow I think.

I just came home from the movies. I saw Angels and Demons. I really must learn not to expect too much when they are making a film of a book, because it's never the same.

I did the same as yeepo, but with Transformers 2.

I am never sitting right in the front again (we were a bit late into the cinema)

Ha, I hate having to sit at the front in the cinema! You spend the entire film looking vertically up. I'd much rather spend £10 on sweets then go in a bit early and eat them all.

And I've just finished (re)reading the book of Angels & Demons.

I have, and still am, studying for finals. I don't have to take English though.

Personally I think the book is much better than the movie.

The last couple of hours I've played the Sims 3.

It's an awesome book, once it gets going the pace just doesn't let down until the end. I think it's Dan Brown's best. Yes, it is better than The Da Vinci Code.

I spent the whole day in my aunt's house for my cousin's 3rd Birthday party. I thought it'd be horrible, I'd imagined a gajillion people waist high running around hyped up to the eyeballs and food everywhere...
In the end the only small kids were my sister and my cousin, everyone else was older than me.

Then we went out to blow bubbles 'for the kids' and the 'the kids' played in the sandbox while 10 adults sat on the deck and blew these huge bubbles with a triangular wand thingy that comes in a sword bottle thingy..
Hard to describe it.

But basically the adults sat and watched bubbles twice the size of your head floating up and bursting on us for an hour and a half. Then we ate cake.
Was actually quite fun.

Read it a few months ago. I liked it a lot. Wasn't big on mystery before but liked this one. I'm guessing I shouldn't see the movie?

Anyway, my only problem was that it included random parts of... well I'll get censored for saying it so I just won't but you get it

. Like the one part where the hassassin finishes killing the professor, and goes to the brothel. Or the last line of the book. Cracked me up. Kind of embarrassing but it did

Well, yesterday I ordered a unopened copy of Morrowind GOTY edition for the PC off of eBay. I can't wait!

Today I had a birthday party (though my birthday isn't until tomorrow) and my parents got me a laptop. So, this is my first post from my new laptop.
