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.
