pfft...

terrible... giving up after 11 days... Homer Simpson lasted more than twice as long...

TV rocks.

And so does the line-up at Oxegen this summer.

I think I've milked the music cow for long enough... It's time I talked about something else interesting... like... this video. very interesting.

See-An-NME

Since I made such an unnecessary fuss of the Brits, I think its only fair to at least mention the NME awards...

Well done Arctic Monkeys on picking up three (possibly four) well deserved awards! I wholeheartedly agree that I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor Is one of the best singles this year... possibly only beaten by When the sun goes down... Nice to see that The Strokes won something, because their album rocks (as if i havn't said that before...).

Talking of albums, I bought With Love and Squalor (We are scientists) yesterday, mainly because of The Love poured on the band by certain people. And its brilliant too.

Damn Weather...

You know what the worst kind of snow is? The kind that donsn't settle... all it does is get in my way...

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go...

Back to school. Not long left now what are most probably going to be the most important exams of my life (If the whole "Glass Ceiling" thing applies as much as it's made out to).

No pressure...

Woo Hoo.

5/6 Universities Agree - I am right for them! (damn Essex wanting an interview first... How did they know my one weakness?!). So it's up to Norwich tomorrow for the first open day of many...

phew.

At least most of the Brits Winners are good. I was so relieved to hear that the Arctic Monkeys had beat James Blunt. That was a case of Common Sense beating stupidity if ever i saw one...

The 'Naomi' Awards went pretty well, what with westlife winning and all...

All Hope Is Lost!

Why is it that James Blunt gets 5 nominations for the Brits?! Are the public really this stupid? And how did Amarillo make it anywhere near the best singles nominations? Especially when there are so many other great songs that missed out (Random Examples - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor, Do You Want To, I Predict A Riot). Those singles nominations are an insult to british music. Although on a nicer note, it is good to see that there were a number of nominations for bands that deserve to be there, like Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs and Hard-Fi (and they managed to sneak the Arctic Monkeys in there somewhere. They'll be in there more next year I'm sure).
Oh, And another thing, how the hell did Kanye get nominated for best Album? I thought albums had to have Music on them, and Rap is not music.

Blogg'd!!

G'Day! So it finally happened. I finally caved in and got a proper blog. Well I better make good use of it then...
The first thing I must do is just alert everyone to the fact that tomorrow is our Geography teacher (and Legend) Dr Shepherd's Official Bitrthday (he won't tell us when his real one is). There will be cake and everything. Tomorrow, 9:00, E14. Be There. In case you're wondering why today, It's the same day we did it last year (the first time). we were on a geography trip to Norfolk, got bored, so we had a birthday party for Dr Shepherd. We even bought a £20 Queen CD especially for the occasion, just for Another One Bites The Dust (He once claimed to have appeared on Gladiators, leading to many jokes about the program and his physique. And then there was the Wolf Figurine... Lots of fun there). He got a sword (Gladiators again), some rocks (because Geology Rocks!) and a card. And there were ballons. This year we plan on giving him the Team America DVD, more rocks and a cake. As well as Bunting. He's so much of a legend he deserves it.
Anyway, thats enough about Dr Shepherd (for you that is. If you met him you would never have enough of him. He's even a specialist subject for one of his students/worshippers in the Charity mastermind at school). Let's talk about something else... hows about... What I've been up to this year...
So far... not a lot. This is because I've had tests by the barrelfull at school, first there were last years resits, and now Mocks... but I've been drawing stuff (see DeviantArt), it's just all been crap. Anyway, another thing I've been doing is buying more CDs this month than I did all last year. So far that's 2 then. But a good 2. The Strokes (First Impressions Of Earth) and Arctic Monkeys (Whatever People say I Am, That's What I'm Not. Honestly, what is it with bands at the moment and long song and album names...). Got both of them the day they were released off of Amazon (who deliver things days before they say the estimate O_o ). When I got First Impressions of Earth, Initially I thought it was an OK album, but it didn't really deserve the rave reviews it got on Amazon, but after a few more listens, it gradually became quite possibly my favorite album of all time, with even the weakest song (in my opinion) - Fear Of Sleep, still extremely good. Can't say a bad word about the album at all! And i even went and found the little bit of text on ever page of the insert. all very insightful. Which is one of the things that was slightly wrong with Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. There were no printed lyrics whatsoever. The other thing... well, to be honest, there wasn't really anything else wrong with the album at all. I won't compare it to the Strokes yet, as I have not listened to it enough for a fair comparison yet (It is good after first listening though), but I have high hopes for another album which carries high expectations...

I'll leave you now with the words of a wise man indeed (no prizes for guessing who...): Do One.
