Numerous

I've got nothing, and it's all looking downhill from here.

There are jellyfish prints on my toilet paper. How weird is that? I wonder what the hell the designers of that print were thinking when they came up with that?

Things don't make a lot of sense lately. I overslept like crazy today! Grand tales, grand tales I say.

The World Could Be Mine, But The Dark Clouds Are Gathering

Yay, I finally posted! It's about time too. I'm sure I had stuff to blog about previously, but alas I did not make any blog notes and again I'll have to wing it.

I feel bad turning down job offers, cause they were all places I really wanted to work and would have been comfortable with here. But all that's going to change though.

Got my letter of invitation to graduation today. It's over I guess. Nothing more of that life. Also got upgraded for my honours paper so that's all good. Results out in 2 days, I'm not looking forward to that cause it was honestly the craziest exam I've ever done in my life. Even though I was well studied up, it was just very strange cause everything could possibly apply.

I've not been doing a lot lately. I've been watching movies and tv shows off the external hard drive at night, as well as playing playstation and dreamcast in the day. I'm aiming to sell all that stuff cause I won't be needing it anymore. I might buy some DVD's, and get some dough together cause the Xbox360, Wii and PS3 all look fantastic.

I've been practising solidly for 30 mins a day, and my guitaring is very happy. Picking up new modes and scales as I go.

Besides that it is really just slackness here. I might join a gym so I don't totally turn into a slug by the time holidays are over.

Wooo it's starting to rain!

What else is new with me? I don't know...nothing of value I think. I'm looking to buy a decent acoustic some time soon.

Got new ideas for lyrics finally, after practically a year of nothing! I think that's it for today. Until next time (which should be soon)! Even if it's not as full in content as it used to be! The other is around but haven't seen him much, I'll try to catch up with him before this week is out. Have a nice day folks!

Looks Familiar!

Yes it does, cause my last post wasn't all that long ago. In that time I have aged (duh), and can claim another increment of life on the belt.

So what's happened? I got my honours mark back and I did quite well so I'm very happy about that. Just studying for my exam, and I think I've got a good grasp on the concepts.

After that I don't know what I'll do. Met up with the other, things are going great for him and he shall be joining the ranks of honours people too.

Playing guitar, getting new melodies down and happy with them. A lot of my stuff seems to have a Bm7 in it though!

I really don't have much to add, I thought I did, but now I have forgotten, and I shall resort to using blognotes more!! Have a nice day people!

28 Days (or thereabouts) Later

Apologies!!!!! Yes I know there's really no point, since it's been over a month since the last post. I have handed in my thesis, and I was quite happy with the final product, so let's see how the grading goes! In the end the entire thing came to about 11 thousand words, and covers history, to war, to criminal law, to post-modern language games. But it's good to have it out of the way, that's a whole load off my back.

Other than that, I have just been studying for my only class. However, it has to be the most content heavy class I've ever done in my life. So that will make it quite tough. But that's alright, I have until the 8th (which is my exam date) to get a good summary going and understand a few more of the concepts that I didn't get before. Should be doable with the time I have remaining.

Haven't heard too much from the other, as he has been incredibly busy. I have been getting back into the swing of nightly practice/warm ups for guitar and it has been doing me wonders. Previously I had lost the ability to pick anything while standing, only chords. But my co-ordination and dexterity has improved a thousandfold with a few nights practice in a row. I feel good! I really should start writing down chords and progressions that I love, cause I record them and give them stupid names, and then I study and don't play guitar for a while and then I come back and I am unable to remember what chords they are and it sucks, cause it's good melodic playing. I've also been using new mu chords. They were made famous by Steely Dan (I haven't heard any of their songs) but I got a chord list of some open and moveable shapes, and they are gorgeous chords, they add a lot to a piece.

Troy is on tonight! It's not very good, but at least it's watchable, so here's to that. I'm quite close to finishing M2TW! After ages! Hooray! I think after that I might start up an Egyptian campaign while starting up my MTW game with the Moors.

What else is new with me? Not much actually. I think I'll leave it there for today. I'll try to keep updates coming as I get thoughts back into my head, instead of lost to the vast recesses of nothingness! Have a nice day folks.

Pop like a robot from 1984!

Yes, God help me I have actually been listening to Arctic Monkeys and that stuff is addictive. I've realised that I have a liking for non-sequitirs, but I don't think I could ever use it in my own stuff. I really should write something in an odd key, like E flat minor or G Sharp Major! Good for the skills you know.

With all the work I've been doing on the thesis lately, I have lost a lot of guitar skills. It might be due to my long nails but that usually doesn't interfere with my picking skills, cause my ability to alternate pick fast has gone right out the window, or maybe I'm just losing fine motor skills! Lovely!

Death to Microsoft! They made all XP users update to Windows Live Messenger! We had no say in it at all, they said you had to update in order to sign in, those bastards! Nobody should be able to call the shots like that! I like to use classical stuff if it works! It's slow, cumbersome, but it does look good. The other uses it in his comp but his comp is very streamlined and able to run everything!

Windows live Hotmail is crap too, sure it looks flash and everything, but the change to my usual interface is just so ridiculous, I don't know where anything is anymore! Where is the CHOICE. In the rush to be new, it gets shoved down our throats and we have no choice but to adapt or be left behind.

I watched Kingdom of Heaven last night and may I say, WOW! It was a bloody spectacular movie, and now I must buy the Director's Cut DVD. I've had a hankering for Hollywood Dramas of the Medieval/Roman period, after all my doco watching of the same era. I also wanna watch Alexander, but I think I'll either download or hire that cause I've heard bad things!

My thesis is coming along, slowly but surelyyyy! I will just be SO happy when it's done. I thought it was all under control, then as I ventured further today, I realised I have a lot more to write and I think I might go over my word limit substantially, hopefully nobody will notice since it's meant to be a big piece anyway!

I'm out, have a nice day folks. Till next time! Johnny Marr's playing in This Charming Man is superbbbbbb! It's too good, I think I can listen to that on repeat forever.

Where's all the confusion?

It's strange how I've noticed that as the older I get, I run into more people who have to take medication on a daily/weekly basis. How many sick people in the world are there? It's grose, watching people get ready at the start of the week sorting pills. People wonder why it's so easy to get addicted to things, where society sets us up from birth to pretty much be addicted to anything.

I have started to get really addicted to The Smiths - This Charming Man. I never would have guessed such a great melody could have come from an A major scale. I don't use it much, but after listening to this song (and learning it, which was a real bitch cause it's so hard to play well), I think I might have to use it for some things. Like seriously, I'm hooked on it (did someone say addict, haha) and I just listen to it on repeat over and over.

I also committed Chris Cornell's You Know My Name to memory, something I've been meaning to do for a while. I also need to do the same for James Morrison's You Give Me Something, then all shall be good with the world.

Haven't been up to much. Just meeting up with the other sporadically as we are both busy with work.

Evil? Thesis be thy name!

I have been SOOOOOO unmotivated this semester, it's almost sickening. Been doing practically 80-100 words a day in stupidity on assignments and a thesis. It's pretty messed up, I don't think it makes much sense. Let's see how the final product pans out.

That's it for now folks. No thoughts in my mind at all. Not even anarchy. Wow! Have a nice day!
