Holy crap, followers!

Was planning on doing this one on the same day as the first, but only just missed out. Oops. Anyway, I find myself with two followers already, after only a day of blogging! If you don't know them already (and I doubt you will), it gives me great pleasure to introduce my pals George and Nikki! George does taekwondo with me and is quite awesome, so I was fairly pleased when I saw his name pop up on my follower's list. I haven't spoken to Nikki for ages so that was also quite a surprise, but a good one! Her blog is also up on here somewhere, if you're interested.

Today was a rather dull day. The weather was great but I couldn't go out due to my evil college giving me piles and piles of work (which naturally still aren't finished). It should be illegal to give young people this much work, especially during summer, we need our time to go out and get excessively drunk! It is an important part of our growing up experience.

Had to make a pendulum for a physics experiment (won't go into it, it was dead boring), so I went to the shop to get some string and blu tac. That was essentially the only time I went out all day. I am surprised I haven't gone insane yet, that is what usually happens on days like this where I stay in the whole time. I did have some new music to keep my spirits up a bit today though. I managed to get my hands on two more of the new Muse songs from their fifth album, due to be released Monday. They are called Undisclosed Desires and Resistance. The latter is the title track and sounds quite similar to their early stuff, I was a bit disappointed at first as it sounded a bit bland. However I think it is growing on me. Undisclosed Desires, on the other hand, sounds fantastic! It sounds completely different, not like them at all (it even has slap bass!). I think that's good though, I like it when bands stretch themselves. They're both love songs as far as I can tell, this is looking like a very romantic album so far. This is also an unmuse like thing. Perhaps they are getting old.

I also played the PS2 for a bit (though probably shouldn't have). I am currently playing through Ratchet & Clank 3 again, I love those games. Annoyingly the game hadn't saved from when I had last saved it, for some reason. This meant having to play through a couple of levels I had already done. Got some pretty nifty new guns though, which I am fairly happy about. Spent the evening lounging around doing absolutely nothing, I should have done something more productive. Tomorrow is the last day I have left to do work in, it's going to be hell. Have been on irc for the past couple of hours, in my favourite channel #cranbaux. The people there really are awesome. However they keep me up for ages (they're all Americans) so irc plays havoc with my sleep pattern. Still, I feel it is worth it. I hope they see this, I love those guys.

Anyway, that was a fairly long post but I don't think I can be bothered to write any more. Might play Ratchet 3 later providing I'm not too exhausted. Babysitting tomorrow. I could do with the money.
