The internet is slow. It is a well known fact that it is never as good as is promised.
Today I went for a picnic with my friends in town by the river. It was lovely!
Also I'm downloading Dr. Horrible, at last.
That is making Mum complain though because the scan she is doing on the computer went up to a predicted 3 hours from 1, down to 42 mins.
Silly thing.
Ah well 5, 4 and 3 hours isn't realistic, it'll be less than that in the end I hope.
Almost all done now too!
Oooft. Today was not good on the revision front.
Tomorrow I promise not to switch my computer on till after lunch.

"I fecks"
That is quoting Shakespeare so it's allowed.
I feel I am letting you, my readers, and myself down by not writing thoroughly enough in this here blogule.
I was downstairs mere minutes ago witnessing the frenzied typing of my dear sister as she writes her own blog and it struck me that I never really make the most of my ability to write over here and merely bullet point the ideas that cross my mind or the activities of my day.
While listeing to The Winter's Tale I started a minor tidy of my room but got distracted back to creative things and made 13 pairs of earrings and 3 necklaces.
If I sell them at £4 each that's £64 which is really not bad for one day of minor revision and minor work.
I also watched a film called "No Night Is Too Long".
Danny from Hustle and that manager dude from Hotel Babylon were the two main characters.
It was disturbing but good, really odd but a compelling story.
Alas, that is once again the extent of my day, that and my nails are chipped and deteriorating already, mostly the Ravenclaw nails as they are my index fingers.
Toodles y'all.

It starts with an I
My first task of the day after getting up and doing regular things, I set myself the Hogwarts nails task that I've been planning pretty much since I did my batman ones.
These nails need 8 colours and my first major problem was locating both the varnishes and the crest images.
Back when Harry Potter merch was new these were the crests used.
Look at them.
Lovely and simple and using the colours that I will always associate with each house.
That there is the Gryffindor crest I once had on a bag when I was 8.
Anyhoo my next task was hopefully locating the right colours to complete the task.
Easy enough I found the blue and bronze I used for Ravenclaw last week.
And yellow and black weren't hard after Hazel's Hufflepuff nails.
Silver, easy, green I didn't think I had and it had gone all odd and separate, but I only need a tiny bit and shaking seems to have sorted it.
Red was my problem.
I searched all of mine and Hazel's rooms.
It was next to the phone in the living room!
Anyway, I've but on a plain base coat and typed this up so far!
Here goes!
DONE!
They'll be featured at the end of this week's video too!
One time, when we were about 10, Caitlin and I were drawing a hopscotch with chalk on the path outside my house.
She wrote "fishish" at the end of it.
This was written here for posterity, not that it is funny to anyone but me and her.
I just looked to see how long my video was going to take to save, it said 1044 mins, it's just gone down to 25, and its gradually becoming normal.
It scared me though.
We went out to the coast for tea, fish and chips from Colemans
Hazel and me Nerdfighting on the beach.
My feet are really sandy :(
New assistant...

What amused me is that my phone just went off as I was linking that, my text tone is the Dr. Who theme.
Tiz all.

I'm not going to lie to you
My sister is actually awesome, she's not only started her own blog but has put mine to shame in two posts. http://imnotgoingtolietoyou.blogspot.com/ Mine is now 242 posts old.
Today I started thinking about applying to work at Tesco.
I love the fact this is how common the searches actually are, it's scary too though.
Deal or No Deal has now been mentioned in Vlogbrothers.
There must be some sort of brainwashing involved.
Last night me and Daniel had a very long winded discussion about his future.
He thinks he wants to open a restaurant and make it the best there is, but all his ideas seemed to be fixed around it's appearance, "Better toilets than Lloyds" was one of his direct thoughts.
I think his real career lies in interior design so I told him.
If he gets rich from this I want it recorded here that it was my idea.
I took time today, between watching bits of "The Prisoner of Azkaban" to consider the
perfection of construction of Jaffa cakes.
They have lovely tasting orange stuff, chocolate that is crisp and contrasts the soft jam/cake, and there is just not enough in one for you to stop.
The captcha codes today were:
hosesh
and
dectrie
therefore rather odd.
Also I did some gardening today, when I say that what I mean is that I crawled around on my hands and knees to get the "soldiers", those tough bits of grass that the mower misses. It felt extremely strange.
Finally I'm currently discussing plenty of cross cultural differences with Ashley, I love this sort of thing!
:D

It failed to post
Imagine if you were born a fried egg is what Jen's first text of the day was.
Then she called all panicky because she's been told it was Emily's party tonight and in reality it's going to be in June.
I almost typed Juan instead of June then.
I'm also, after a day of study, pretty confident on first section of Psychology!
I still need to pre-order Chameleon Circuit, I'm pretty excited about it.
Edit: Couldn't resist, just used Paypal, thanks Mum! :)
"Hello, this is James Worthington from Art Now" Ross failed to prank call me because it showed up as him on my caller ID.
Hmm, revision takes all the umph out of blogs.

Informational overload
In my internet and learning based life my brain is expected to remember a very large amount of things.
During this revision period I'm supposed to make sure that the most prominent things in my life are quotations, exam techniques and other exam based information.
The thing is it isn't as simple as that, life actually happens and bits of my memory will still be concentrating on lyrics to songs, passwords for lots of different websites, what is going on in the life of my RL friends and my Online friends.
I'm still expected not to get distracted. But I am one of those people who craves all this information, who enjoys extremely to just sit online and discover.
It would help however if I wasn't being sent emails from the Horoscope website I must have visited once.
Howay, how vague do you want to be!
What else did I learn today:
I got tagged in a lot of leaving photo's on facebook.
Alex Day and Kristina Horner have a very enviable life, their LeakyCon documentation is awe inspiring.
Eoin Colfer is going to write the 6th Hitchhikers book. XD
The daft Art World people STILL haven't sent the 3rd issue even though we've been in contact with them a few times, last time they sent issue 1 instead. ARGH.
MP's have spent crazy amounts of tax payers money and they're STILL talking about it.
Having Harry Potter on my mp3 play is intensely irritating on shuffle but also quite amusing.
Food smells so good.
There is a bit in Yes Man that made Hazel chuckle uber much. HARRY POTTER themed party.
Listening to half of a phone conversation is even funnier if it's my mum and my great auntie Irene
It's close enough to the end of the day to post this, not much else is going to happen I don't think.

"General Weekly Love Horoscope Influences
The past could catch up with you this weekend when Mercury shifts out of reverse(retrograde) and begins moving forward on Saturday. Information that has been withheld may start to spill out to change the story of relationships. If you've been waiting to make up your mind, the clouds are starting to clear and you should finally come to a decision."
Howay, how vague do you want to be!

International Towel Day
I failed it, sorry Hitchhikers.
Today I came home early, Alice wasn't feeling too well and Hazel and Fran wanted to stay so I offered to come home with her.
It was lovely while it was sunny, but a bit iffy when it started to rain and we were forced to walk to the next bridge along to get over the river.
Gargh!
At one point someone jumped on a tub of sun cream nearby us and it popped all over.
We spent a while watching these two boys who were just sat, listening to the music, not looking at each other and not talking, after Katie threw a note at them asking them to be our friends they talked to each other but still didn't talk to us. We must have looked sort of crazy though.
"Liz, you've just hit a bee"
I didn't mean to, but at one point I hit a bee quite hard.
I bought a WaterAid balloon from Neil and wrote loads of things on it.
But it popped.
Err, I'm going to try to sleep soon.
Hope this fulfils the role of a blog!
