a big guy in a big city

Posted by Bone at February 24th, 2004

I realised that the Tursday, Finch and Billy Talent buttons weren’t actually linked to anything, so I’ve sorted that out, and learnt how to do it properly in the process.

Had another migraine last night, so I didn’t go out with te guys, which is annoying cos I hvaen’t been out with them since Smoothy was here, and that was like 3 weeks ago now.

Gonna go into town for lunch since I just got a call from mum and dad saying, we just had lunch on the beach in Nice, they rang up just to mock me, and they did the same to neil. My only comfort is that they’re flying back to Liverpool airport.

this genuinely will be quick cos I just came into the library to get some books and thought it had been a while since I posted so I’d better update.

I had a great weekend at my brothers down in London, went to see the Ataris, a review of which is on the Photo Hole.

I’m coming home (cumbria) on thursday night, so I’ll probably come out to see you guys on Friday, probably won’t drink though, I haven’t drank for anything alcoholic for over a week now, that really makes me seems like a recovering addict doesn’t it?

I bought City of God on DVD, and its really good, so I recommend anyone who can read to buy it.

Bye now

Just had a tutorial, theres meant to be like 13 people in it, but only 6 of us turned up.

So we’re going through the questions, and I’m doing a bit more than my fair share of discussion, then the tutor asks about the Marshall Plan (1947 plan to help recontruct Europe after the war using American money) and none of us answer, so he has this phat go at us about preparing for tutorials, and how we need to put more effort in, and I thought “how come if I haven’t prepared anything I know that Molotov’s (author of a source) nickname was ‘the hammer’ or that he joind the Bolsheviks in 1909 and all this other stuff that I’d brought up earlier” just because we’d all happened to miss out a bit he pulls us up on it, when to be fair we’d actually turned up to a 9:30 on a Wednesday, which means I can’t go out on Tuesdays with the majority of the house.

I’ve got nothing else to say other than I have a choice to make, be mature and do my Current Issues essay today, or play 12 man Halo….

ok guys I’ve made a few changes, most of which you probably won’t notice but I guess that since I’ve cut out some unnecessary stuff the page might load marginally faster.

I got rid of 3 links, the soul valuation one, the one for the annonymous message server, and the ingenious porno link, I don’t know how many people fell for that, but I’d imagine too many.

The boxes top left and top right were made slightly shorter so that they became the same height as the top box in the middle, I think it makes it look a bit neater.

its annoying, whenever I load the blog, it says that there’s an error on the page. The problem for me is that I don’t know what this problem is, so now I’m gonna have to search through all the code, and cut out the junk that I don’t think needs to be in there, this could lead to some testing times (in both meanings of the word).

Things were getting super-nerdy in my room last night. Duncan brought round his TV and XBOX and we did 8 player Halo battles, it was pretty cool, lots of fun and cheaper than going out I suppose. Though as they were leving we did realise that using my network hub we could do 12 possibly 16 player games, but I don’t think my room is big enough, I’d also need more friends (read this as friends willing to play hours of Halo, I do know more than 16 people at uni).

Just bought my ticket to London to go and see Neil (and the Ataris), I didn’t get my 1/3 because I left my railcard back in cumbria by mistake, which is annoying cos savings are always appreciated.

I’m just going to throw a plea for feedback out there, if you feel like commenting or e-mailing, feel free to, I like getting mail that isn’t spam or from mailing lists.

Ok, I wrote out this big post about my night out on Saturday, but then Explorer crashed on me when I tried to access the WHSmith site, so I’m gonna paraphrase.

Went to Retribution with Dave, Duncan, Goatee Richard, Lukas and Katie. All I drank all night was 2 bottle of Big Beastie from Asda. Retribution is a rock club, 3 floors, first floor is Foo Fighters/Smashing Pumpkins type stuff, second floor is punk/ska and a bit of emo, we stayed there most of the nighty and requested quite a few songs, third floor is metal, we danced there quite a bit too, and because I was headbanging like some kind of cliche monster I have a stiff neck now.

Since I went on valentines day I may as well do a romance update. I was on the top floor and just dancing away, as you do when you feel the rhythm of the groove, and I see this girl looking at me, she was typical alternative, dark hair (which I like) dark eyeliner, quite pale and a pretty decent body (as far as I could tell, it was dark) so I figured she was looking at someone behind me, but no, she smiles at me, this is odd me thinks, she starts walking towards me, my good god what the devil is going on, she walks past, all return to normal you think, but no as she walks round behind me her hand gently strokes round from thigh to buttock (he he buttock) so I turn around, and shes gone, dammit. So there you go, 10 seconds expanded into a whole paragraph.

In another valentines related story, Sophie (Russell) gave me a sparkler as a present, and I thought “could there honestly be something more depressing than lighting a sparkler, in your darkened room, alone, on valentines day” especiall when its from a girl that has a boyfriend, and you have to listen to them fuck all the time, thats right guys loud music doesn’t cover everything!!!

Also Hannah made me a valentines card, but she also has a boyfriend, the message inside read “to my next in line” so now all I have to do is kill Matt somehow……

Just imagine what the long version would have been like.

I could find nothing to decorate my room with, its not like I really need the stuff, I just want some cool little (cheap) kitsch things just to make the place look more interesting.

Everytime I take money out of the cash machine I spend it way too quickly, so I’m gonna have another few days of poverty, but at least its a challenge, I’ve spent about £45 this week, I have about £5 left, and £20 of that was on a Blink ticket and I did my shopping at Asda aswell, so I *might* take out another £10 and see how little I can spend in town tomorrow.

I’m really, really bored at the moment, so I either need people to come here (go on guys) or to go on a few road trips just to freshen things up, I haven’t even got anything lined up for the future, actually I do, I’m going to see the Ataris next week in London, ha, my day just picked up, though I must remember to book my train ticket tomorrow.

I’ve got nothing more to say, so I’ll go.

Ok, I have to be quick, I’m on a 20minute computer at the moment.

Blink was awesome (even though they didn’t play adam’s song), I’m sure Tigg will post a review on the Hole.

Gonna go into town now get some nice lunch, and find some cool things to decorate my room with, and generally spend money on stuff i don’t technically need.

Bored bored bored…. I don’t really like having these 3 hour breaks between lectures, sure it lets me have a long lunch (one hour nursing a bowl of sweet n’ sour meatballs) and write this stuff but I’d rather be asleep to be honest.

5 and a half hours till blink wooo!!!

I have nothing to report, yet feel compelled to write something. But I have nothing to write, I must have done something since I last updated, nope, stayed in last night.

Oh well, see you tomorrow, early, cos I have a 9:30 tutorial.

3 updates in one day, you lucky lucky people!!!

Put up more buttons, one for finch, one for Billy Talent and the large one is for the early november, they get a bigger button due to their extreme awesomeness, and the fact that I couldn’t find a smaller button.

Found a cool Billy Talent fan site just now called the BT Attack Army these guys really love that band. Not to go one about them but I’m thinking of joining the Billy Talent street team, and possibly the one for the Early November, cos I’d get loads of free stuff for going to gigs that I’d go to anyway.

Also how much do I want this watch!!!

Its from JApan and its totally sold out, only 500 being made available abroad, and best of all its actually called a Pimp watch, and has that engraved on the back.
