Alex gets swine flu
A couple of weeks ago at uni, I had a weird cough and Amy pointed out that it had persisted for some time. My friend Kevin also had a cough and he said it was a bit of a throat and/or chest infection that was going around, so I just assumed that if what I had wasn’t just a cough, then it was probably a minor infection.
Then, when I went to Nottingham, I began getting a bit sneezey and...
Movie Time!
Here’s some brief reviews of the two movies I have watched of late.
Firstly was ‘Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist’.
I had no idea what to expect from it really, I think I’d got it into my head that it was meant to be a full on comedy and I don’t know why. Maybe because of Michael Cera being in it and that I heard about this movie when I was making my way...
I wish I had video skillz
I think this would be solved if I had a Mac, but alas, I don’t see this happening for a fair while.
I think a great way to practice the kind of thing that I would eventually like to do as a career (writing for TV), especially with the internet being such a major part of our lives, is to just write and make short scenes or videos and post them somewhere for feedback.
But I have no clue how....
Romanticism has ruined me
I had an exam in Romanticism a couple of weeks ago. Afterwards I was so relieved, not just because it was my final exam of the year, but mainly because I would never have to study that period of literature again and, in turn, hopefully never have anything to do with Wordsworth, Coleridge, Keats, Byron or Shelley ever again. I hate them guys.
Apparently my subconscious thinks differently.

Anniversary :)
On monday, I caught the train up to Nottingham for mine and Anna’s first year anniversary. Before catching the train, I had to pop into town for a few things. I wore my new T-shirt which Leo gave me a few weeks before which has a picture of a killer whale and reads ‘A wizard has turned you into a whale. Is this awesome Y/N?’ it gets plenty of attention, which is something...
Whilst I was complaining about the train people...
…I can’t help but feel amazed by the conductors. As in the people who check your tickets.
I get on a train, I sit down and then minutes later a bloke or blokette will say ‘tickets please’ and I’ll chirpily show them my tickets and railcard if they are that way inclined (although not on wednesday, I was anything but chirpy). Then a while later the train will stop and...
Train Fiasco
I have lots of blog subjects for the next few days :) Here’s the first.
Yesterday, I was due to come back to Canterbury from Nottingham after staying with Anna for a few days for our anniversary. My train was at 1402 and we left the house at about twenty to. The tram took ages to come and by the time it arrived, it was about ten to. I said bye to Anna and hopped on.
I must have arrived at...
Exams are over and still I'm doing nothing...
I realised earlier today that most of my tweets at the moment are about Faith No More. Sorry! I have just been extremely excited about the whole reunion and DESPERATELY wanted to go to their first gig in Brixton last night. I checked Scarlet Mist and eBay every day, but had no joy with tickets, so last night I just listened to their back catalogue whilst watching a live blog which documented the...
Big Brother
(NOTE: There may be a fair few pictures in this, which may not work in Tumblr dashboard, if that applies to anyone)
Now, I know Big Brother is a lame show. I realise this fully. But I can’t help but watch some times. It’s like, you know, when there’s a car crash and you know you shouldn’t look but you do? Yeah. Someone should come up with a phrase for that. Like...
Shouldn't we be really worried?
I check the BBC News website every day. I’m not sure why it is but I am disappointed if there’s nothing interesting going on in the world. I think I just like to watch as exciting things develop, be they amazing, shocking or tragic. A few big stories seem to be circulating recently, like the airline that’s disappeared in the atlantic and swine flu. The airline thing is pretty...
