SO much to say, so little botheredness
So I have been in NZ a while now. And have plenty to write about, just I don’t have the bothered-ness right now… I’m sure I shall write something good, with pictures, later….

The Awesome new CA-NZ Website! →
WatchThis is what happens when I ran portal on my fit-pc2. no special settings just install and go:D
I don't blog enough
It’s not that I don’t want to, or even that I have nothing to say, It’s just I find it hard to work out what to talk about and what to leave out…. I don’t think I’m much good at opinion, I certainly doubt I have much knowledge about any one subject.
ah well
In other news, seeing as I got two jobs offers I was allowed to get my “getting a job”...

Flying to New Zealand
Time 17:50 - 2nd Sept.
So I’m sitting next to Yates’ in Birmingham airport with 45 mins of waiting before I can head off to gate 44 & I feel pretty low. I had to leave nearly half of the chocolate I bought because The checking lady said My weight was limited, but I forgot to take out my laptop, spare battery and HDD which could have been discounted from the weight limit they...

Summer holidays
I should have had my boxes picked up by now but they haven’t been because the courier wasn’t booked in time (an email told me this morning) so I have to wait until tuesday to have them out of my room :( But they are fully packed and sealed now. I just need to finish off the paperwork and thats them done and dusted…
Annie is back tomorrow morning, and as i write this will be just...
Thing's to do before I leave for NZ
1. Pack the newly arrived boxes with stuff I want in NZ.
2. Go to cousin Steph’s wedding!
3. Work out what I will take with me on my person to NZ on the plane.
4. Work out something incredibly romantic for Annie as a goodbye present :/
5. Close my love film account for good:D
Update
Well, I again haven’t updated in a while so it’s about time!
New Zealand:
I have nearly got my Visa!! I had a couple of calls from the office because my payment wasn’t working (I had renewed my card before they tried taking payment, bad timing) But it should now be sorted. I am hoping I get my passport on Monday before I travel to Germany, it’ll probably make it easier to...

Long time no blog?
So I have been busy the past few weeks (months) and life is swimming along goingly…
Lots of stuff to talk about, I could talk about it in massive detail too, but I can’t be bothered. At the moment it is raining in Stoke-Prior (B60 4) and I am retreating inside after nearly setting up the tent and checking the gas stove(see “Indie tracks” below)
I haven’t really...

Stars
When I was in germany, I pointed out to my sister that the stars I could see out there where the same ones she could see in England, so that when she saw them she realised we weren’t that far away. I realised when looking at them tonight, it’s not the case anymore…
and Yoshi is right, you do get somewhat emotional on the come down from drinking:/
Sleep
Sleep sucks. Cos when i don’t want it i should do and when i do want it it’s too late:/
Why can’t I sleep? Is it that my feet are cold? Or maybe I’m hungry? Or perhaps its that dripping noise I can hear? perhaps my aching hip? All I know is that it is 3am and I should be unconscious with sleep-paralysis:(
but hey, got to see some cool video’s on youtube:D

I knwo it isn’t amazing, but they do use some goods song even if they mutilate them in the process. However watching one hot blonde cheerlader doing ice ice baby makes it that little bit better…:P
Update
I have two exams and two demonstrations. the software kind where i sit hopefully, infront of a pc, praying i haven’t left any glaring bugs, and that it doesn’t crash before the examiner gets here. Not the kind where you stand angrily hoping that your big sign is on the tv, and you don’t get bored before the plod arrive:P
The exams are on the 21st and 2nd, so this friday and two...

Conundrum
Well my lent is going well…i haven’t stepped into tesco or saisnbury’s etc. once! tho i have only bought an apple in the last couple of days… but I did have to buy some shower gel yesterday too, and it made me wonder how bad it would be if i went into tesco to get it. It is unlikely that there will be somewhere local that provides shower gel, and as long as I only got the...

Lent
I have decided what i am giving up for lent…supermarkets…
Tesco, lidl, aldi, asda also places like fultons, maybe even fruitopia….
I hope to sstart buying from markets, to support local economy and probably get healthier stuff, also to help stop impulse buying… Problems will include, milk, chocolate, cleaning products… just to name a few, but i’ll get round...

Anyway today, I went to tesco (didn’t get much, a ready burger on offer:D) I wanted to sort out an internet savings account but i cant do that as i dont have enough proof of who i am and where i live:( so I am going to try in the bank tomorow with my drivers licence see if that won’t surfice:S I also wanted to get...
How many types of irony?
The journey back from Germany was eventful. I arrived at Osnabrueck station to see that my train was the only one to have more than ten minutes delay. It started with 40 minutes and gained a couple more every ten minutes or so, by the time i was ready to get on the train it was 55 mins delayed. I had luckily only one train to get, which went all the way to the airport. and i figured i could have...
Enter the new year with a BANG!
Well what a way to enter the new year! After a rather adventurous journey to Germany with 1 small plane and two late trains (so much for German proficiency) I arrived 50 minutes late at Osnabruck station where my uncle was waiting for me:D
so the new year party starts with champagne in the uncle’s flat, with a nice meal and lots of talking (not all of which I got). Then people head off to...

Uneventful...
…is a word which pretty much sums up the week:( After annie left i had ONE lecture because of a lecturer giving a revision lecture (not neccesary but nice). There was the Dept. Christmas bash which i arrived late to, i missed out on pizza but not chocolates:D I also went for the last school day of the year on wednesday! it went ok with one class being a bit of a pain, but the rest tried to...
Not gone away...
I have had Annie over for the weekend and that and work have distracted me ample, hence the lack of a post, but news for me includes, No more lectures till after christmas, just my intermediate report to do:D which is nearly a quarter done already, i have lots of software to write, but thats ok, i enjoy that. opened my birthday presents from family and friends on the 10th, and got lovely presents,...
Internet banking...
…I use natwest and according to some independant research done by Which? (or someone similar) they’re pretty safe:D so that’s grand, but their ssite was a bit dull, but now they have updated it:D to include lots of new cool stuff not least the savings calculators:D its like pretending you have a savings account, without having one! a very nice idea, and although i haven’t...
It's my dad's birthday!

bork bork:(
A power cut has broken my nice graphics card, so im using the midle on instead, still better than my original , but doesn’t dual screen with me getting a dongle, which altho i know someone has one, i doubt they will be very generous:/ and i had a tough day in school:S mostly the one class but they were one of the lat ones so it put me down a bit, then my beautiful toasted sandwhich went...
