Rock Band 2 - That is the question.
Not sure how I should get it.
Rock Band 2 is coming out when Rock Band comes out in AU and it still isn't out in Japan, or even has an announcement date. Which is weird. I also may have to wait for a little longer since the PS3 version may be a timed exclusive on the XBox (Microsoft throw money at a problem, really?). However, this I don't mind since Rock Band is more than twice as much in England, and Gamestop does delivery. Since the XBox has region locking and PS3 doesn't.
So there's the full package and an extra guitar, this is how I got Rock Band, but then again, I bought it quite recently so I don't want to again. The original instruments work fine and are fully forwards compatible. Problem is the new guitars for 2 are made of sex. My mic is a little broke, but it's just a USB mic anyway, there aren't hard to pick up. Drums are rumoured to be much improved, but I'm skeptical as the only thing wrong with the rock band drums is the peddle, and not much is really wrong with it.
I dunno.
My girlfriend is lovely.

So ... Rock Band is awesome, but even cooler, the guitars just being standard controllers means I can use me rock band guitar with Guitar Hero 3 for the PC and it works very, very well, the only possible flaw in the controls is that whammy isn't true analogue.
Now to make my wiimote and PC do this stuff.

I'm getting a new mobile 'phone soon, and shall be texting people to tell them what the new number is when I get my new 'phone. It's a dot mobile one, which I didn't buy on principle last year because they kept bothering me. This year however, they've been far less pushy, so I decided to get one, since they are about the same price as tesco value mobile, but I get a new phone with an excessive 5 megapixel camera (albeit with fuck all optical zoom). It even has real buttons, something disappearing now from 'phones due to the evil influence of apple (and they're tied to one provider of course). I don't even like touch sensitive buttons, I have nails after all.
The thing I liked was that the guy hesitated because he said "your son" when referring to Bee, I suspect this is because he thought I was too young to have kids. Youth is an attitude too, I think.

I'm having a lot of difficulty lately with my second year, I'm tempted to abandon it and just start again, actually this would have the advantage of making me finish the same time as a few friends and that girl I fancy. Yeah, I met a girl, and like all girls she is confusing and I get mixed messages from her. Actually though, that's kind of fair enough. She doesn't seem to know if she likes me in that way or not. I detect an ex-boyfriend in this somewhere. I really like her though, she's exceptionally intelligent, far more so than she makes out sometimes. Probably brighter than me, for which I was momentary feeling inadequate until I remembered that I'm geet dead clever too, and I can even do some arty stuffs. Yeah, she's an artist. I have a thing for artists. It also helps that she's very cute and unfathomably hot. She's supposedly dyslexic, though to read her writing you'd not think so.
So yeah, at the moment, I'm kind of failing, I have difficulty concentrating on my work, and the long period of tiredness and illness has really screwed me up so I'm playing catch up constantly. This is not a good thing as I keep getting left behind. I did manage to eventually get my forms in for a placement. So I've been doing badly, I went for about three weeks without uninterrupted sleep to the point where I was getting auditory hallucinations. I really hope I can get girl, she likes lying on me and snuggling, but then gets weird sometimes. It would be a shame, because I have a lot of happiness that I think I could offer. Every time she says something very sharp in milliseconds of hearing something I feel more attracted to her. Even when it's something silly like "Yeah well, 75% of your face!"
People at Uni keep thinking I'm younger than I am, which is absolutely awesome. My Halloween outfit seems to have become part of my everyday wardrobe, which is nice. Portal rocks. I have the t-shirt too. I was handing in my forms to the placement people, and she was all like, "You need to tell us what your GCSE results were". I replied that I couldn't remember them, because they were, like, ten years ago. She thought I was in my very early twenties. People keep assuming I'm younger than Bob, hehe. (Sorry Bob! - but you're popular, so nyeh!). My hair is growing nicely. Well except the bits I tear out anyway. My awesome friends are helping me with that though. I bet she's a bit worried about me having a child. Women get weird on this, even very sensible, bright women. They aren't going out with the child though, they're going out with me. Really, I want to get to the whole going out bit, I like that bit, you get to get them stuff. At the moment, all I can get her is ginger biscuits, which she likes for some reason.
I went to Seattle in the holidays, among with visiting a bunch of people in merry ol' England too.
You know, I think a laptop might increase my productivity.
Sorry, anyway, the holiday was cool, although a little bumpy in places, it was still very awesome. I will be doing that again soon. Another reason why I want to hurry up and have a girlfriend, I can take her places. Like Seattle, or Whitby, or Amsterdam, or breakfast in Paris, or something like that. I've missed doing things like that. Even with exotic dancers (not as interesting a story as you'd think, I just like getting chatted up by interesting people). I got chatted at by a blond girl who mistakenly thought she was ginger! That was odd, but again with the niceness. I still love Uni, I'm just not getting much work done!
I'm rambling, we'll catch up later too!

Plane fares really piss me off, it's not based on the cost of fual and seems to be inverse to the number of people travelling in one plane, which is clearly stupid.
I paid a little under 700 to get here and back, which to all in tents and porpoises is reasonable for Newcastle to the West coast of the States. It's just had I travelled out of season the plane would have been empty and the price more like 380, which is half the price (and what I travelled for last time just about - only difference being the time of year). It wouldn't bother me so much if it was the other way around because you travel in an airplane with few other people and fuel is therefore being used less efficiently. No though, it's the artificial being penalised for travel when it costs the airline the cheapest.
Gah.
It is so lovely here though, I've missed Seattle and my friends (not all I've visited yet!) terribly. The city itself has ... things ... I like. What?, it's difficult to articulate. A bit like being in love - though less like being mugged of your senses. I'm very happy. Love vacation (I've decided I prefer vacation to holiday).
At University, I shall bring back the goth.

Who remembers these?
I went to Stewart Lee's website and there are whole episodes of FoF and TMWRNJ.
They're funny!
... and almost no-one I know at University is old enough to remember them.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/beds/bucks/herts/6917820.stm
A mother who reprimanded her daughter by locking her in the family car for several minutes received a visit from the police.
Ruth Ball, 24, used the punishment on four-year-old Leigha after she started screaming in a newsagents.
The next day Ms Ball, from Luton, was told by police the treatment was inappropriate, despite the fact she was stood near the car with her son.
On Thursday Beds Police confirmed an officer visited Ms Ball's address.
Ms Ball said officers had stressed the treatment was even more inadvisable in the light of toddler Madeleine McCann's disappearance in Portugal.
The care assistant told the Daily Mail: "I'm deeply sorry for what has happened to Madeleine, but why should I let my daughter get away with things because she was abducted?
"I am trying to raise two decent human beings. Kids learn young. If they learn now that kicking, hitting and screaming gets what they want, what are they going to do when they're adults?"
Ms Ball said she was shocked that officers - who had received a call from a concerned member of the public - had visited her at home.
Ms Ball said: "Even the police officer said he didn't see the point in him being here."
Oh for fuck's sake.
Toy guns are banned in schools across England because someone shot up a University in America.
Toy cars are banned in nurseries across England because someone in Sweden drove a car into a shop window.
Okay, so I made that last one up, but would it really surprise you?
I'll leave this entry with this:
Mr McCann's mother, Eileen: "How many people have stayed in their back gardens and put their children to bed?"
Mike Hitchen: "How many people have put their children to bed, then went to a bar?"
Oh, and it should be noted that Ms Ball is not a middle-aged doctor.

An actual funny, reasonably accurate silly on-line personality test. Thing.
Your Score: BraggartYou are 100% Rational, 57% Extroverted, 42% Brutal, and 85% Arrogant.
You are the Braggart! Like Muhammad Ali, you would surely tell everyone that you are "The Greatest" whilst bragging incessantly about your intelligence, your skills, and your abilities. You tend to be a thinker rather than a feeler, and combined with your extroversion and arrogance, this makes you someone who probably just LOVES to brag about his accomplishments. Despite this, however, you are a very gentle, tender person and truly care about others' feelings. You just happen to care more about yourself. Unlike Ali, of course, you are rather rational as opposed to emotional, and you are also much more gentle. But his arrogance and extroversion best reflect the most visible aspects of your personality. But his afro and his penchant for rhyming...not so much. There is not really much to dislike about you, aside from the fact that you can be incredibly annoying, and you probably never shut up about yourself. You may be one of these people who refer to themselves in the third person. If you have a nickname, it is probably one you gave to yourself, because you are too cool for the nickname others have given you--like "doofus" and "shitface". Your personality defect, in summary, is the fact that you are extremely overconfident, extroverted, and perhaps rather lacking in emotions. YOU ARE THE GREATEST! Or so you keep telling yourself every night as you stare at yourself in the mirror and practically make out with your reflection. Maybe one day everyone else on the planet will agree with your assessment of yourself. Nah, I'm just kidding. We think you're an arrogant dickhole. But a NICE arrogant dickhole, so no worries.
( A lot more under here )

I had the second of three exams today. The dread subject of System Design, a heavy set chav boxer of a subject, unerring dullness combined with an unpalatable side dish of abject fail. I call him CHAVLOR and he is the bane of my existence. Today ... he was conquered. I think I may have actually done pretty well.
Russia, America, please guys, just put the nukes down and move away from the conflict.
I don't care who started it, America, you shouldn't build missile defences against a lack of missiles, I know how you guys always think there are weapons of mass destruction, but just no. Russia, there really is no need to be a dick.
Just stop. Okay.

Yes I am.
Too warm as well!
Tee hee hee. I cut my hair and re-dyed it, it's now a pinky purple since I wanted to use the rest of that red I had. Two more exams to go! I hate Systems Design with the burning passion of a thousand suns.
I took some brilliant photos of the Uni's halls, they used to be a hospital.

I have now practically finished an elaborate and nuanced piece of C++ code featuring such, er, features as polymorphism, dynamic binding, multi-source files with rather nifty pre-processor declaratives. It has pointers, arrays, vectors of pointers, referencing, initialisation lists, constants, derived classes, calls by reference, multiple functions with separate declarations, operator overloading, function overloading. Hell, it even uses stderr as well as the more usual ones. It is, without a doubt, entirely composed of 100% awesome. Hopefully, I'll get another A (dare I hope for a better A?).
Funny thing is, if I didn't bother with any of that, it would have produced the exact same results, been shorter, faster, more efficient, and bloody hell could I have done it twelve times faster!
