Defrosted Walruseseseses.....

All the world's a stage, and we're all desperately under-rehearsed. - Anonymous

What watches do when not on your wrist: Sit where you left them, ticking away.
...
Told you it was short!
Now, in the comments of the last post I said that I'd put up more pics... But I don't want to scare too many people away, so you'll just have to wait and hope (or dread) that I put some up at a later time, or give you the site link to the place these lifelike pictures are made.
Life has been unsurprisingly dull. Not only do I not have school anymore, but I now work where I used to go to school, so as I walk past Allen House peole go "Why is he still here?" and at lunch I get a heap of strange looks... Not fun. At the moment I have a cold, or hay-fever or something, but whatever it is it's driving me insane! Today, in the uniform shop at school, I sorted the filling system (alphabetically! they hadn't done it!) and sorted out the coat-hangers... Very Important (not). They are just giving me odd-end jobs until they can do the orientation thingy on Monday, and I have two shifts more until then (sux to be me). What did you all (yess, all three of you who look at this blog, you know who you are even if I don't!) think of the 'alternative' Harry Potter I posted in my last blog thingy...? I really liked it, all 15 chapters. But meh, to each their own I guess... I'm pretty sure I'm bored and feel like crap, or else I wouldn't be writing all this and wasting the valuable internet space that is here....
Movie Updates: I've now seen... SawII, Pride and Pre-something(can't spell)-ice, Corpse Bride and Doom. I still haven't seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which is annoying! But what can you do when the whole world seems to be against you? Destroy it? Possibly, but then what do you do, when there are no more movies? It kinda misses the point somewhat, like this blog does. This is "supposedly" me, in my life, talking about stuff that I feel like talking about. But I don't really talk about ME, or what i FEEL, and I don't think anyone really does. We just show shadows of ourselves here. And rightly so, for who wants to have someone on the net know the intimacies of our lives? Even our friends and family do not get to hear our secrets, those ones that occasionally creep into your head after a few drinks at home by yourself... the stuff you don't even whisper in your dreams it's locked away so tight.......
Sorry, that was kinda rambling and depressing, but I made a promise that once I'd written something on this that unless it was spelt wrong I wouldn't get rid of it, so nyah!

Slightly sobering thought there... I feel like a bit of icecream... Not like I AM the icecream, but that I'd like some, to eat... Well, I'm to tired to think coherently, so goodnight all, look foreward to the new pics! and wait until next time....

Next Time: Edna and Chandy, and why there is a picture of a Goat on my wall.

Insane Madness

Anybody remotely interesting is mad, in some way or another. -Doctor Who


Well here it is, desturbing images and all! A seemingly (or not so seemingly) long-awaited sequel to my previous ramblings. Now, what was I going to talk about....
Oh yes, the HP fan-thingy.... Here it is, 15 chapters long, and a nice version of the world... I like this Harry a bit better than the real one, who was too painful in the 5 & 6th books to bear!
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2230626/1/
In other HP news - The Goblet of Fire is out (or out soon, depending on where you are in the world)! And I haven't seen it yet, which is in itself a major pain in the @$$! But I have heard mixed ideas about weather it was good or bad. From what I've seen (pictures and previews) the character realisation is a bit dodgy (Cho doesn't look like Cho, Moody doesnt..... etc.), but Harry strips so it's ok. Of course, if Ron and Draco were there too, instead of Myrtle.... well, that would have been a sight for sore eyes.
Well, My eyes will just have to deal with this instead :

Mmmmmmm...

Sorry about that, but you all needed to see it. But there is a chance of redemption, and it is... Another picture!

OK, I'm done for today!
Next Time: A small speil about watches and where they go when not on ur wrist.....

(KFC) Krap F*cked-up Children

You can learn a lot about a person if you just take the time to inject them with sodium pentothal. -Anonymous

Well, it's been a while, about 20 comments from the look of things, and MT is truly meant to be studying. 1 more exam left.... Philosophy on Monday 14th of November, and then MT gets to never go to school again! Hooray for the happiness of not going to school.
But, MT hears you ask (or imagines that he hears), will you go to schoolies...
Answer: No. Much better to stay here with my friends and spend the money on other things, like alcohol in copious quantities....

Now I told you all last time that I'd set out to talk about books people should read if they want to be able to sound smart when other people ask them what books they've read... Well, I haven't come up with too many of them...

Dante's Inferno (and the other two after it), Pratchett's books (All of them!), Douglas Noel Adams (GOD), J.R.R.Tolkien (Not just LOTR, but all his stuff!), Ursula LeGuinn's Wizard of Earthsea quintet [5 book series] (now possibly being turned into a movie(s), but that's just a roumer), Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis and The Castle, About a Boy, David Eddings's books, Robert Jordan's, Raymond E Feist's, 2001 a S.O. , 2010 Odessey 2, 2016 (I think) Odessey 3, 3001 the final Odessey, Most of Shakespeare's books (Hamlet, Lear and Comedy of Errors especially) Tom Clancy, Tom Sharpe (Wilt, and others...), Holy Blood Holy Grail (I think that's the name).......

OK, that's it for now, there are others (like the Dune books, and Dragons of Pern series, and the Soveriegn Stone Trilogy...) that I have forgotten, and may (if u mention them) go "Oh, yes, them too! I forgot that book!"

Next Time: My random rambling and..... The first chapter of an e-text I found that is a fan-based novel 15 chapters long so far about Harry Potter and is soo good I'm gonna torture you all with it!

Quoth the Raven...

And it's the end of another day today!
Father was in cleaning mode, and so I was dragged away from my 'studying' to do some cleaning of the house, the washing (wash, hang out, bring in, sort, put away), the ironing, the toilet & bathroom & shower-room and the lawn and the dog-poo! Gah! THEN I got to cycle to McD (in 2o-something degrees celcius) to work for three hours, then cycle back! - and this is what my weekend consists of, this is what we call fun?

I have been thinking, as all good Philosophy students should, about the meaning of life and a whole bunch of stuff like that. Here is an Anonymous quote I found that should clear up all the misunderstandings we as a race have about these sorts of questions...

Mitch: I had a strange dream last night.
Chris: Was it the dream where you're on top of an Aztec pyramid with sun-god clothes on and thousands of naked women throw pickles at you?
Mitch: No.
Chris: Why am I the only one who has that dream?

If this is beyond you, just remember what DNA tells us all - The answer to Life the Universe and Everything is... 42.

I am rambling..... I was going to have an early night tonight, but now I have to go with mum to pick up my brother. He's at a party until midnight, the little inconsiderate sh*t! Meh, it just gives me an excuse to do nothing, and be on here! yay!

Ok, I'm done... Next Time: Books people should read if they want to be able to sound smart when other people ask them what books they've read...
