The future's rappin' at my door...

Hello faithful readers!

It seems I neglect this blog a tad... But much of what I have to say can be accurately surmised in 140 characters or less, so therefore much of it goes to twitter. I can also twitter from my iPhone, and don't need to sit down at a computer and type something, which unless it's entirely procrastinatory I get ever so slightly twitchy... Less so with this blog than other writing endeavors, but still.

Anyhoodle, what have I been up to since my last blog post, I hear you ask? Well aren't you in luck, that's almost exactly what this blog is about! What a crazy random happenstance.

(Dr. Horrible FTW!)

What to start with? I suppose the fact that today was results day would be an ideal place to start, considering it is actually one of the reasons behind thinking I should do a new one of these.

Yes, today I got my results from my 6th year exams. Exciting, no? No. Since I'm in Uni, it was far less of a deal than the last two years, and even then I was cool as a cucumber -- Which I suppose are cool, given the reputation they've earned over the years. It's just my nature.

Moving on, I managed to get a B in Advanced Higher English, which made me happy because I did the Creative Writing Folio with a script (what I want to do in life) and the diary thing I posted a while back, which I just enjoyed writing. I also did my Dissertation on film, which is what I'll be doing at uni, so all in all the B made me smile.

I got a B in music, too! Which also made me happy, because I had the previously mentioned on this blog teacher who was my favourite and bought me a pint at prom. And I just kind of didn't wanna let her down, 'cause she kept saying how she wanted me to do well 'cause she felt I deserved it. I think she might appeal because she had me down as an A, but I'm just glad I did well.

I got an A in Modern Studies (politics and stuff for any yanks), which surprised me 'cause I did like no work in the class. Or at home. Or studying. Or any Mods in the month before the exam because our teacher was off the last week before exams and we didn't go in, then, again, no studying. I guess I can just rant well about politics sometimes.

All in all, good year results wise.

So, the last month I've been at this Summer Uni thing, which has been good... Except having to drag myself there. Being there has been alright, but the having to go has been kind of a drag. But, I dropped Psychology. Not enough Derren Brown learning why people do what they do stuff, too much statistics. I dropped it after a 2 1/2 hour lecture on stats, my mind died. No more.

I got a B in my Philosophy essay, though. My first Uni essay (and my first Philosophy essay) and I got a B. So good start. Find out about my Film & TV essay tomorrow, so watch the twitter thingy over there ( >> ) and I'm sure I'll tweet my result.

I had my Driving test all booked for yesterday, then they went and cancelled last minute! Moved it to the 17th! Gonna keep trying to get a closer date, though. It really pissed me off, though. I just want to drive already!!

I think that's about everything in my life right now. Or, at least, the stuff I care to blog about. There's other, slightly confusing even to me stuff, and other long story whiney stuff, but this isn't the place. We oughta keep this place light! And happy! And often sarcastic and bitter, but in a jovial lighthearted kind of way.

My Pink Floyd poster just fell down... Totally didn't scare me.

Anyhoo... Erm...

American Psycho... In My Pants.

Spinal Tap... In My Pants

Quick round of "... In My Pants" to lighten the mood.

Go forth, and spread the love faithful readers. Namaste.

Me = 0 - Door Frame = 1...

Hello faithful readers.

Firstly, I will beat that door frame eventually! *shakes fist*

Only a small casualty on my part, little knuckle cut. I bet it has some serious psychological damage... so... yeah...

(The reasons for door frame punching are long and with a slight whiff of self pity [well, to me at least. Gah.] and not for boring you loverly people with. Suffice it to say, not my best day.)

Anyway, for those of you looking at my tweets and thinking "Why, David, how ever did you manage to reference BSG and Doc Who in your English exam?", that is a good question. Even if you're not, I'll answer, 'cause I'm nice like that.

We had a short story [not seen before] to analyse, and it was about a dead guy going through a day or something weird like that, and it was vaguely cyclical. And so, in all my Geeky glory, I directly quoted BSG [without quote marks of course ha] with "all of this has happened before, and will happen again". Who knew I'd ever fit that in, eh? ha

Doc Who is less reference, unless you're me, really. I started thinking about "The Girl In The Fireplace" [who knows why, really] and found myself writing about taking the slow path [like Madame De Pompadour does]. Heh.

Anyhoodle, for a 3 hour exam, wasn't that bad. People to see, there, which I always enjoy.

(That, again, is not to be boring you on here ha)

Driving lesson in a bit. Not sure how bothered I can be, really. But, there we go.

Oh, that group writing contest episode is finished. I admittedly didn't contribute an awful lot, mostly some story points, I gave them the episode title, and I edited the teaser to make it better [despite NOT wanting that Car Crash in the first episode, just saying], but, I'll link you all, since, again, I'm nice like that. I'm hoping to write more for Episode 2, which I'll also post.

Enjoy.

And, thus, faithful reader, I bid thee, adieu.

The Last Of The English Roses

Hello, Faithful reader. It's been a while. Miss me? 

What's that? No... Oh... Well, I'm back anyway.

Twitter as official became part of my e-life. And kept entirely separate from my actual life. It's a strange phenomenon, but there we go.

So, onto slightly more interesting subjects. I'm involved in an Original Series Writing contest now, and, while fun, it's awfully frustrating. We've came up with a pretty good premise, yet, no one agrees about the direction I think the pilot should take [as right now, it doesn't work.] It gets maddening at times. But, group project and all that.

On the other side of the dramatic coin, I'm now officially cast in the School Show. We're doing Little Shop Of Horrors, and I'm playing Mr. Mushnik [2 nights] and the Dentist [2 nights]. Audition for Dentist was SO fun. Can't wait for that.

What else? Oh, my father recently swapped his old car for one me and brothers can get insured on. So when I pass my driving test, I'll be cruising in a Nissan Note. Nice car. Need to drive it and get used to it, though.

Dollhouse! Dollhouse! Doll-freakin'-house! Yeah. 2 episodes in, and I enjoy. Can't wait to see where Whedon takes this. Next weeks Ep is Written by Jed Whedon & Maurissa Tancharoen, so that should be a goody.

I think I've ran out of interesting things to say right now. So I'll leave you with the song this post gets its name from.

That's all, folks.

Until the next time, Faithful Reader, Namaste.

Oh captain, my captain...

Will anyone ever read this? Who knows. Who cares.

Driveyness. 4 lessons. Going fairly well.

Why is the tv guy talking about cooking food on a volcano? Anyway...

I'm not sure what's going on anymore, at times.

iPhone blog app... Not what it's cracked up to be... When it's free, anyway.

Out.
