The 'What happened to you today' thread

I'm so stressed at the moment... We've just had a BT Home Hub fitted to our house so I can go to (allegedly) super-fast wireless broadband. Only I can't connect to the god-forsaken internet (posting this from work right now). I spent 3 hours and 10 minutes on the phone to one of BT's infamous foreign call centres, only for them to tell me that, despite the fact I have NEVER connected to the internet on this brand-new laptop, and that it's NEVER been conected to any other computer in any way shape or form (with internet access or otherwise), it has a virus. WHICH IS NOT PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE!!!!!! I kept getting other numbers given to me, which I rang to no avail, the second to last guy I spoke to was kind enough to give me a number also, except it was the one I'd dialled in the first place. Me being stupid, I rang it. Only to speak to the same idiot I'd first spoken to.

I actually dreamed about this last night - I dreamed that I'd been trying to sort it out for 5 years and I woke up in a cold sweat after being fastened in a strait-jacket and carted off screaming, "It's not me that's mad, it's them!!" (gesturing towards my BT home hub and laptop).

And that's why under no circumstances should you rely on BT to do anything. When we moved house there was a fault on our line. During the course of BT's attempts to fix it they dug 4 holes in the road, relieved everyone of their landlines for 2 days and dug through the foundations of a streetlight which then fell over.

I had the funniest night ever last night celebrating the end of uni (which does stand for university). We went out at about 6 o'clock and were out until stupidly late, highlights were my mate getting really drunk, going mental because one of my other mates wouldn't let him headline the festival he organises then accusing me of "drinking pies" then us all walking through Birmingham city centre singing a song that goes "I've got a degree, in Music Technology! I've got a degree, it's a BSc!" which slowly turned into the DJ Talent song off Britain's Got Talent. Then in this one bar we went to someone threatened to call the police because "the prices they're charging here are literally a crime!".

Happy Birthday! I hope you enjoy yourself.

I had one lesson today, and it being the last lesson for the term with that
teacher everyone thought we were going to do something funny. But
instead of letting us play the djembes and kongo-drums, we end up
having a final exam even though we don't finish the course now. But it
went pretty well, so I don't mind.

I've finished my painting job. Bad thing thou, a insect had landed in the
paint and got stuck and then died. R.I.P. Little Insect.

And just now I saw that Mrs T has a new, very nice avatar!

Oh if i had a dime for every time that happened. They tend to be attracted to white. Its much worse when that happens while spray painting. How they get into the spray booth only god knows.

That's right. He/she/it had landed on the part that I had painted white, not
the black part. (Though it might be because the black paint smells awful)

Right now I'm really, really, REALLY happy! I did just get my result from
my physics exam, and it had gone great. I was also told that will get the
highest grade in the course.

Went out for a little leaving party-type thing last night and all I can remember is standing on a table in the pub playing air guitar to Violet Hill by Coldplay and kissing both of my housemates several times (they're both girls, I should add). Then this morning I realised that last night when we got home I sent a text to one of them saying "I can smell you in my bed". Oh dear.

I'm off to play football in a bit and am in no condition to do so.

I had possibly the most amazing night ever. I went to the Coldplay concert in at Verizon Wireless Music Center in Indiana, and they were AWESOME! I had gotten a lawn ticket, when we discovered they were going to play a few songs in the lawn, it was like a dream come true. My group was one of the luckiest groups there. We ended up sitting RIGHT NEXT TO WHERE THEY WERE GOING TO PLAY! When they can to play on the stage, I WAS WITHIN FOUR FEET OF THEM! Of course, Snow Patrol was at the concert to, but they were not even half as good as Coldplay.

Today, I did quite possibly the best OotS-style avatar I've ever made. It's for a dude called Fredthefighter, and it's for steampunk week. Here he is

NICE! I tried to get to see them when they played in New York, but missed them. Glad you had a good time.

Worked as so I can pay off the replacement brakes I had to buy. Grrrrr.....

That one looks great! How long did it took you to make it?

Today I read comic 659 of the OotS. Now I can't wait until 660

.
And I wonder, what will #666 be like? It's the Devil's number, so perhaps it's gonna be something bad.

The other day I heard they are remaking The Secret of Monkey Island, the first game I ever played, probably around 15 years ago, and they're also bringing out Monkey Island 5 this summer too... so yaaaay!

So today I started playing the old DOS version of Secret of MI again, and it's as good as ever - I know it all off by heart and I still love it!

She said, on a forum dedicated to a game with Procedural Generation, Radiant AI, Havok Physics, and FaceGen Engines.

But in all seriousness, old games can still be really good. I still get a kick out of playing Starcraft.

Umm... Not that long actually. An hour and a half, maybe?

I've just finished packing to leave uni and am awaiting for my dad to get here. Sadly he'll be some time since he just informed me that he's only just got on the M6. Now I have nothing to do.

I'm also a bit stiff after playing football yesterday, it was the hotly anticipated Birmingham City University Music Technology Game Of Football, people who did placement years vs people who didn't do placement years. I was on the latter team and we absolutely thrashed the opposition - three goals in the first 10 minutes, but they clawed it back to 3 all by half-time, then we destroyed them in the second half with an eventual score of 12-5. The two highlights of the match were one of our defenders very accurately and completely purposefully taking out a member of the opposition who we've always found a bit annoying, and my mate breaking the thumb of one of our lecturers, who was refereeing.

The more astute Englishmen among you may have noticed that it was raining all day yesterday, and we were indeed playing outside, on a full-sized pitch for the full 90 minutes. In doing so I have contracted a disease which I have diagnosed to be cancerous swine flu of the ebola.

Not down here in sunny Suffolk!
Although it is raining today...

Today, I seriously considered leaving here.
Someone's attitude made me quite angry...
They probably won't realise it's them.

EDIT:
Wow... I was a little annoyed, so I decided to watch some of my guilty pleasure: Teen Titans. I've been working my way through the series for a couple of months now, and I was at the end of series 5, the last series. Here's a friendly hint: don't watch the last episode, "Things Change", to cheer you up... it's a very downer ending... I'm more depressed now

Pfff, your territory is that cemetery.

In Siberia.

With no one in it.
