I ponder, I type, I wonder why you read it

Work and Play
Soooo much for me to catch up on its ridiculous. I suppose i only have myself to blame, but doesn't mean i wont try. Currently typing this at work. I recent times blogging has led to the firing of people. Then again these people tend to have a lot higher positions than I and access to sensitive information.

Just to be safe all the same im currently using firefox portable edition. Specially created to run off a USB stick, in this case an ipod, and doesnt leave a trace on the computer. Muhahaha, ninja bogging. *jumps back to typing in the shadows*

So, on with the tale. I have a job as before mentioned. I'm working as a evening receptionist for a halls of residence in London. You'd think it would be quiet... well it is, but not as quiet as you would expect. They take a lot of guests during the summer, some needing to pay, students leave and they need to have rooms checked and such. All in all this job rocks.

On a random side note i seem to have developed a strange addiction to apples. When i say strange i mean a straightforward addiction, but to me an addiction to such things is strange. *mind wonders what a strange addiction would look like* ... *shudders*. I seem to be eating about two a day at least. I have also begun eating all except that little stalk bit at the top. the core of an apple is good for you I'm sure. The best bit is eating them on the train and eating it all. the weird looks fascinate me, traditionally you should eat the whole apple, and leaving the core only leave rubbish. *adds to the list of weird things about me*

Oh, and i should have written about this much earlier. Muse. Yes muse. I went to seem them for their Sunday showing at Wembly arena. All I can say is wow. They completely blew me away. Playing my favorite track plug in baby as an encore. Cheers once again to Andrew and Jonny for the memorable day out. The stadium was worth the wait to say the least, looks really impressive the arch in itself is something to behold. You can tell its built for music as well.
The other bands went as good for course but was surprise by Biffy Clyro, having never heard them before. MCR were as good as to be expected, wasn't a fan of their 'don't do suicide' speech though. guess it says a lot about their fan base. Shy child were... different to say the least a keytarist (guitar shaped keyboard) and a drummer. their songs sounded a bit same same though.

Anyway, back to current times. Once again my excess anime watching strikes. Ive watched two great series in the last couple of weeks. 'I's Pure' and 'REC', once again I'm addicted to the romance stories and thanks to M on ichigos.com I've got a few more to watch.

I finally managed to get round to talking to Claire again. god knows im far too lazy at keeping contact. Spent a day with her as well which was great, Claire was and still is a great friend who enjoys things and talks about things that others don't. She knows a hell of a lot about me that others don't. Why let a friendship like that disappear.

Todays music is one of Muse's finest and my favorite. 'Plug in baby'
I'll let the music speak for itself.




Anyway, thats enough for today

Welcome to the boredom
Welcome to the boredom, we've run out of fun games. You cant do anything you and it gets worst here everyday.

Now with that parody musical number I invite you to share in my new found boredom. To be fair to the world in general it has got some fun lined up for me. But not right now.

Since my return home its been dead here. With no FFXII to play its slightly worse, admittedly i have Zelda but I'm far too close to completing it and want to draw this task out over the summer (and allot of it is fishing... and i mean ALLOT). Wii sports can only keep me going for half an hour at a time, with bowling crossing back into Pro level along with tennis leaving me no real challenge for both. Wii play is just pants as a 1 player i have to say, and red steel is to hard (or my laziness kicks in, one of the two... My my bet is on the latter). I would buy another game such as Mario football but we hit the next snag.

Money, bit of green, squid, moolar, present from your sugar daddy. These thing (especially the last one) i have little of that i can touch. Without adding an excel sheet of my budget lets just say to live next semester I cannot spend money while at home or my outward payments will be bring me into an overdraft until my student loan kicks in. Unexpected bills are the problem as well. Contact lenses and such will leave me with very little.

Getting a job would solve all my problems. But I haven't got one and may not find one at all this summer. I'm not around long enough for most temp jobs and I'm not qualified for office jobs. Going to make another attempt at it next week, but i don't hold my breath. Only income looks to be from me going to my grans for a long weekend clearing out her garden. House and bored will be done for me and if i do a good job i earn a pretty packet. Enough to balance out the cost of me if luck is on my side.

Now onto the positives. I'm home and Ive updated my blog! Woot loops all round. I promise I'll post the back log at any point. Not that anyone besides myself reads this (I hold no false hope on the subject). who would, the ramblings of a madman... i mean mad'thing'. Due to my excessive large amount of free time i may set up a side blog along with this one, with my post explained in comic form. Anyone who wants to interpret them and have their version put up I'll be happy to oblige. Will hopefully be sorted by end of this Friday.

Another positive was a return to Mondays in harrow, for me this included helping out with the beaver scouts reopening after far to long. This move so far has been a great success with a regular number of around 15 beavers. I hope this goes well and continues to grow. Its run by three leaders as well, so they've got people willing to do it. I fear the 'to many chefs' complex may kick in at some point though. The beaver scouts was followed by explorer scouts, which unfortunatly felt a bit diminished last week (Jason knows that this was because it was a hike, i know what you lot are like *points finger accusingly*). The walk was great, talking to Shot glass like old times (explanation: Jonny, smaller than 'half pint', therefore 'shot glass').

Coming up Ive got a few things to possibly keep me amuse. One of them being the trip to see muse on Sunday with Andrew and Jonny. Gran coming to stay a few days starting today, so hopefully a bit of old comfort food aka soup *drools at thought*.

And on to today's music choice. Mixxed views have been received at this weeks choice. I discovered this band last summer thanks to a brilliant writer and co-worker, Payal who was a big fan. At the time i was looking to expand my music collection and didn't know where to turn. so she gave me some recommendations. The top of which was Coheed and Cambria. I bought it and fell in love with the sound. The album in question was their latest Album Good Will Apollo: Burning Start 4. A master piece of progressive rock.This video is from their third album, one of the best tracks on there. 'A Favour House Atlantic', a must play when at Spiders BTW. enjoy



With this i bid you farewell
