It's Very Different Here In The Distant Land Of Preston.

Yesterday, at around 17:06, I arrived in the good old land we call Preston. The weather is surprisingly warmer here up north. I use the Met Office every day now, thanks to ICT Unit 1. Today I helped pick apples in the garden and make apple crumble. I am now wrapped up in a thick hoodie. How autumnal.

I finished my textual analysis of the opening of The Eye. A cheap budget, psychological horror which, to be quite honest, isn't very effective or captive at all. One thing I will applaud is the intro to this film. Nearing the end there is a Voldemort-like face in which I am very frightened of. As cowardly as it sounds, I could not do a full analysis into that particular shot as I couldn't bring myself to watch it. I'm sure Mr Bird wont mind. This also brings me to another online service I enjoy using as often as possible. Online movie sites. BRILLIANT.

And then we have the usual:

• Facebook
• MSN
• Skype
• Google+
• MySpace
• Bebo

And as for downloads - I have taken the opportunity to install a dongle to my laptop.
However, as I found out very soon after I installed the darn thing, this particular O2 dongle is TERRIBLE. I could not pick up a single network. Oh well...

Got the wireless going up here now, so I can get through the yearly relatives visit with what I like to call 'online morphine' to numb the exhaustion and pain. By that I mean, endless social networking and funny cat videos on youtube. Hoorah.

Still behind...

As usual, I suppose. Oh well. I always pull through.

Does this picture not scare everyone else?










I have used many a online services.Once again, the usual; facebook, msn, youtube, blogger, bebo, google+.
I have actually just created a MySpace account out of curiosity. I have no friends so far. Should be fun...

Dream

Had a dream last night that Facebook closed down and the world ended.

Not far from the truth.

So... We meet again.

Once again, it has been a while since I last updated this blog. And as always, I have been using many online communication services. Blogger, Facebook, MSN, Skype, YouTube, school e-mail. One thing I find quite annoying these days is that no one ever replies to my messages... Rejected? I think so.

In other news, I asked politely if I could be removed from the group emails going round on the school system. System Administer stepped in and told me I couldn't send it as everyone's mailboxes were full. C'MON GUYS. Anyone heard of selecting all and deleting? At least we know there are measures in place to keep the emails in check.

Stress

It's what should be expected from new sixth formers, right?

In other news; I have used various ways of communication since I was last blogging. For instance, I used Facebook, Skype and MSN. I've also been uploading weekly vlogs to youtube. I use the internet first and foremost for communication. It's a big part of many teen's lives in MEDCs. Sometimes I wonder what this world is coming to. You know, I think those sci-fi geeks are right. One day we'll all wake up and our ipads, laptops, cameras, high-tech showers, etc will be out to murder us. Machinery will be the death of us.

Paperclips

In ICT. Sally has poluted my desk with useless metal paperclips. And people wonder why I don't get any work done.
I would ask Sally to move \away, but we're married. Married via seating plans and haribo rings.
Tied tighter than... well... my shoe laces.

It's like sitting next to a child.
