Her Ugliness Was Flawless

Been a while I know! But I haven't been doing much. I hired 22 DVD's last week and I watched them ALL. I feel incredibly freaked out, cause some of that time I didn't have a decent amount of sleep and the movies sometimes took on a life of their own. During Apocalypse Now Redux I thought Marlon Brando was talking to me and not Martin Sheen. Freaked me out I tell you.

Pick of the bunch? 21 Grams, The Departed and Mystic River. All excellently acted dramas. Some of the other stuff was incredibly overrated.

I have some more movies to rent sometime soon, but you can bet it won't be as much as this time!

Went shopping today for some birthday presents and sale items for me. Bought 2 Dunlop Jazz III Picks. Feel so good, they're firm but light so that they cut through strings nicely. Unfortunately Mini Matons and my beloved Martin signature John Mayer guitar are sold. However, I did play a Mini Maton 12 string which felt and sounded AWESOME, and was rather cheap too. Bought some DVD's that I've been meaning to get for a while, but there are a few more to go.

Also bought a birthday present for a friend, which cost a fair bit of dosh but it's good so hopefully they'll like it. It was strange though, despite it being a weekday, there were a massive amount of people there and buying up like crazy, and I felt incredibly sick with all the capitalism and guilt free spending going on. Some people don't think. Then I realised I was a hypocrite, and that wasn't good.

I had a 25th hour moment. As those who have seen the movie know, Edward Norton's character goes on a massive 4-5 minute rant about the people of New York. At the end he realises that the kindness and friendliess of the people is going to help him survive prison. I live my rant everyday. Today I had good moments and it was odd but entertaining and exciting.

Next week should be interesting to say the least. I finally graduated, so I'm happy with that. Too bad my worries never stopped.

The other is still overseas and as such haven't heard much from him.

Think I'm going to get some practice in then play a game or something! Talk later folks.

I can't see which way I'm going

I'm in dire need of a shower and a shave. I look homeless. Haha pretty soon I will be come to think of it!

I also need to cut my nails!

Oh my chords are toooooo good! I don't know why I didn't update before, I learned James Morrison's You Give Me Something a long time ago now, and I still remember the Cornell goodness. I also picked up the annoying chorus part of Eric Clapton's Change The World.

Interstate on Sun or Mon but should be back soon after.

Oh how some things make sense to some to the point where it becomes second nature, but to others it is an entirely foreign concept. Right now I have a strong sense of the latter.

More on that later.

I'm going to play guitar and engage in more exercises to prove my own ineptitude. Have a nice day folks!

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.
