When I get sad, I stop being sad, and be awesome
instead. True story.

A Down Note

Friday, January 08, 2010
Ian's Quote O'The Day
Hector: (On the degrees of alcohol consumption) There are no various degrees. Only one; TOO MUCH.

I did very little today apart from suffer through a headache. I think this glorious headache could be caffeine withdrawal, I have been through this before. This is longest stretch in quite some time that I have gone without an can of Monster and at least one bottle of coke a day. Soon I shan't feel anxious. But now I feel pain.
I watched a lot of Death Note. It takes a nose day part way through Season 2. Apparently this view is shared by many, infact I was warned that this happened but I still love the programme. It is animetastic. And on that I leave.

The Hanging Gardens of Beijing

Thursday, January 07, 2010
Ian's Quote O'The Day
Lee: I am with the prick on this one

Not a massive update this fine day as my brain can not cope with prolonged typing. I am not drunk. I am tired.
Elise spent this fine snow-based day with me. We watched Inglourious Basterds and then Interview With A Vampire. Chinese was ordered, fucking good Chinese at that and then I after a brief nap and an episode of Rude Tube I returned her to her homestead.
I then made my way home via the Load. Ended up walking back with Murray and Yimbo, discussing the Law, the world and the Law some more.
Now I sink into my nighttime regime. Eddie Izzard and Modern Warfare 2. Should probably do more with my life but fuck it, I'm happy. I'm also poor. I'll be happier once I have income.

We Don't Pretend To Understand

Wednesday, January 06, 2010
Ian's Quote O'The Day
Graham: I'd rather you did heroine than watch (500) Days Of Summer. It'd make you more of a man.

It's snowing again! This is good news! It means we have actual snow for a day. I understand that the snow will be around for longer than that, but I also know the difference between "let us go and play in the snow" snow and "let us go and risk death in the snow" snow.
I woke up at a time that most would deem socially unacceptable and proceeded to do nothing with my time until band practice reared it's head. The three hour practice was fucking awesome, by the end however I felt as if I were going to pass out, which fucking sucked, and my throat felt as if it were on fire, got to love screaming Check out the songs here.
After my brain stopped feeling like it was bleeding into my skull the Rea joined me and we xboxed the night away, that is just how we roll motherfucker.
I should sleep. As awesome as The Wrath Of Khan is, sleep is necessary, some would argue the Wrath Of Khan is also. I after all am dating a Trekkie, I should hold Trek in high regard.
It isn't Star Wars though is it?

Digital Monsters Over Cola

Monday, January 04, 2010
Ian's Quote O'The Day
Father: It's quite difficult if you're a retard.

Watched Avatar for the second time this fine day, it is a very good film. Upon my return from this viewing I ordered pizza with my Father and while waiting decide my top 5 films of this year.
They were as follows:
1. (500) Days Of Summer
2. District 9
3. Star Trek
4. Up
5. Inglourious Basterds.
Avatar could've been in their bu it was a tad too predictable, as a movie to me it appears to be nothing more than an elaborate advert for "How to use CGI in a film". I mean it's good, very good infact. But (500) Days Of Summer was so good that it helped me and a friend get through depressive stages and generally helped get my life back on track. District 9 I have seen many times and was so far from any film of a similar genre I have seen that it deserves some form of recognition. Star Trek was just, you know, Star Trek, it was awesome. UP is a Pixar film, therefore it's win and Inglourious Basterds, though it has its flaws, has two of my favourite movie scenes in, therefore Top 5 it is. Hangover could've been there, certainly was one of the funniest films of the past year but as the best "film"? No. Same with Zombieland, it was good but it just wasn't Shaun of The Dead. Moon was also awesome, incredible, the acting was top notch, the directing was superb but it falls at the same hurdle as Avatar, it is predictable. I mean yes, it's groundbreaking, but on a technological level, the medium of which story is conveyed has forever changed, just the story wasn't amazingly good. It looked good. But no. You are doomed to be only in my Top 10 of the year.
The evening was spent at the Load of Hay with Dain, Murray and Rea Rea discussing Digimon, amongst other things, while drinking caffeinated beverages. How fucking awesome are we?

Health Fluxuations

Ian's Quote O'The Day
Murray: That confused me more than the fact that they're dinosaurs

I felt ill today. Annoyingly ill. It felt like something was sitting on my heart poking my throat with a stick. This wasn't a nice feeling and for the duration of the day I wished for it to stop.
Met Elise in Uxbridge and we did the whole Uxbridge thing. We ended up back at mine watching countless episodes of 30 Rock and then the Hangover with Lauren and Tom after Tom expressed his dislike of 30 Rock. People are allowed their own opinions, but insulting 30 Rock by comparing it to Curb Your Enthusiasm? I mean, does my Brother have an ounce of taste within him? Judging from him classing The View as "the best band ever" I believe not.
Elise has since left and I still feel ill. I shall now depart for the safety of bed and hope sleep cures me. Tomorrow I believe I am viewing Avatar again. Good times.

Dynasty Warriors: The Movie

Sunday, January 03, 2010
Ian's Quote O'The Day
Me: Daddy. Why is there a little horse inside that big horse?
Father: Something to do with matter transmission

Hung with Dain today, we briefly sailed our way around Uxbridge and ended up back at mine with the Red Cliff Blu-Ray and some time to kill. However I had brought the special edition, the subbed version of the original Asian release of the film. The cut released in the cinema in this country ran just under 150 minutes. The Asian release is 287 minutes long and was released as two separate films in China. This surprised us, but we ventured forth and watched the entire thing. It was rather epic.
My evening involved very little past this movie. Once viewing had been completed Dain left and I sat infront of the television and lazed, for some reason my leg was being a dick again so I thought I may as well not use it.
So not use it I did.

2010

Friday, January 01, 2010
Ian's Quote O'The Day
Me: My name is Bear Grylls and this river, is my bitch.

Ian's Quote O'The Year
Tasha: Apparently the same horse went up to my other friends later, and my friend Becky had a conversation with the policeman that went:
Becky: What's his name?
Police: Dave
Becky: Dave the Horse?
Police: No, just Dave. he knows he's a horse


DRINKING BUDDY OF THE YEAR?
Dain. I mean, his Dad owns a pub.

NEWCOMER AWARD - NEWEST FRIEND
Louisa. Lass is made of pure win.

HIGH POINT OF THE YEAR?
Download 2009. That was one epic weekend. I am scared to think how awesome it would've been had the potential been reached.

LOW POINT OF THE YEAR?
Think we all know the answer to this so instead of actually answering this question I will proceed onto the next question.

BEST HOLIDAY?
Alas, I had no holiday this year.

ANTHEM FOR 2009?
Reasons Not To Be An Idiot - Frank Turner

ANY REGRETS?
Stuff is good, had things not transpired the way they had perhaps I would be worse off. Regret not trying harder at University though.

BEST NIGHT OUT?
The night out in Bristol before Taste of Chaos was a pretty epic night, I mean it involved a Casino. If parties counted in this, I guess it can, I'm the one fucking answering this question, then I would have to class Puerto Rican Constitution Day as the best night, it was fucking epic.

WHO DID YOU SPEND VALENTINES WITH THIS YEAR?
Jemma, think we were in Winchester.

BEST RELATIONSHIP OF THE YEAR?
Jabba. You shall be missed sire.

BEST DECISION MADE THIS YEAR?
The beautiful TV that now graces the Harries' household.

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR?
Find a source of income, increase my bass repertoire by a string, buy a new guitar, gig with Brannigan's Law and Paper Champion and hopefully start the Third Year at University.

MOST STUPID IDEA WHEN DRUNK?
The stupidest ideas are those I can't remember.

TWAT OF THE YEAR?
It took me a long time to realize that this Twat was indeed a Twat but now I realize and Twat now shall not enter my realms 2010.

MOST LOYAL FRIEND?
Rea Rea, the man is a complete twat, I know this, you know this, he knows this but he's a fucking epic friend, wouldn't have known what to do without him this year, helped me through a lot.

BIGGEST CHANGE OF THE YEAR?
My outlook on life has changed a lot, I am now a lot less pessimistic than I use to me. I have grown a lot and generally become a better person. Not better in the traditional sense of the word, I don't feed starving puppies or give to charity but I mean, I don't know. I was happy single, which was a new thing for me, my esteem has risen, my beard has gone and I'm starting to develop stronger social ties in Reading. 2009 was a good year for change.

Well that was another year. Decade infact. This blog shan't be overly elaborate, I am tired and my ability to actually care is severely depleted.
New Years Eve was spent at Yimbo's, the party was of epic quality. Songs were sung, beer was drunk, photos were taken. Elise and I left and failed on a quest for food.
New Years Day was spent in the company of Elise and my television, we watched a lot of TV, steak was eaten, more TV was watched.
Big Fat Quiz Of The Year was pretty funny, Doctor Who was alright and now I sleep. I am sure at some point soon you will be greeted by more of a summing up of my year but for now I need sleep. If I am too tired to do anything tomorrow then what, pray tell, do I blog about?

Party Based Discussions Of A Guitar Nature And Other Tales

Wednesday, December 30, 2009
Ian's Quote O'The Day
Dad: Sniff my ivy, sniff it

I have become somewhat addicted to Assassin's Creed 2. It may be one of the single greatest games I have ever played, and that's saying something, I have played a fuck of a lot of games in my time. Some would indeed say I have played too many games but those people can have the decency to fuck off.
I did not blog yesterday because I don't actually remember falling asleep, pretty much passed out infront of the television.
Busy day yesterday, woke up early, got a train to Reading and attended a band practice. We have come up with a new song and it is fucking epic if I may say so myself. Keeping with the tradition I created about two months ago this song has been posted on Youtube with a hideously nerd based title. Our song today was entitled: "Hello Christopher. I'm Nero". Got to love obvious references.
After this I discovered Jabba, my beautiful external harddrive, has died. He is not working. He is dead. He has ceased to be. He has shuffled off his mortal coil and has gone to meet his make. If he wasn't nailed to the perch... well he isn't on a perch, I guess Python doesn't stretch into the realm of External Harddrives any further.
I made my way back to Uxbridge as fast as my legs and then the train could carry me due to the fact I had a party to attend. This party was the turning 18 of Matthew Thomas. Pre-Drinks occurred at Rhys' and then the posse made its way toward the party. The party was good. Party things occurred. Someone looked like my brother, a fair few people told me I looked different without the beard and of these I recognised none, a few people commented on the epicness of The LOL Folder and I argued why Jack White mops the floor with Matt Bellamy. I returned home, saw Elise briefly on my travels and then promptly passed out on my return. I wasn't amazingly drunk, just that wonderful mix of drunk and tired that makes you fall asleep pretty much anywhere you stop walking.
Today was spent recovering, all my plans for the day fell through and I ended up taking a lazy day. Most of my days are lazy but this was even lazier. Now it is 6am. Why the fuck am I not tired?

Day Of Elise

Monday, December 28, 2009
Ian's Quote O'The Day
Yimbo: Shall I bring beer or just crack

I can't stop watching Eddie Izzard clips on Youtube, haven't seen an awful lot by him, I knew he was a genius but never got round to watching anything. I may spend my HMV gift voucher on Stand-Up DVDs, it is this or Entourage Season 3.
Today was a nice day, spent the entire day watching various films and television-based viewings with Elise, I made an epic pasta bake and tea was drunk. This was it. This was my whole day. It was fucking awesome.
Tomorrow I attempt to punk up a Beatles song. Good day sire.

Nine At The Vine

Sunday, December 27, 2009
Ian's Quote O'The Day
Lee: We should head back, Ian has a date with Gammon

Yet another evening was spent at a pub with a multitude of people. However rather than the Load we made our merry way to the Vine. Was a good evening once again, more time was spent with those I haven't spent time with in some time (I used "time" a lot there, but fuck it). Chris was there this fine evening, was good to see the hombre, haven't seen him since I departed for university.
Once time was called we departed. Lee, Rea Rea and I returned to mine, watched ten minutes of Harry Hills TV Burp and then Lee and I made our way to the Load where Dain and Chris were waiting for us. Upon our arrival we found Dain, Chris, Harry, Laurie and Hayley all drinking wine outside. This wasn't what we had expected but we hung around for a while, before listening to J-Rock on the way back to my abode.
Upon returning to my abode I ate ham and played some Modern Warfare 2, as I am awesome like that. Now I play guitar, a theme tune has to be figured out

Ninja Slade

Saturday, December 26, 2009
Ian's Quote O'The Day
Me: Dan, does a part of you die when someone doesn't get a reference you make?
Rea Rea: Yeah... and then it becomes even worse because you have to explain it and then you want to hit them.

Glenn Wool is a fucking genius, I must see this man live.
Today was Christmas. I got given things. This is the most you are getting out of me you crafty blog. If I write anymore I will just discuss how nice the Whiskey was, how awesome the food was and how I am now sucking on Modern Warfare 2.

Friday Eve

Thursday, December 24, 2009
Ian's Quote O'The Day
Brother: I am too funny for my own good. I could get in trouble for being this funny.

It's Christmas Eve! I care so little that it is nearly depressing. Christmas cheer and general goodwill to all men as yet to seep into my life. Not sure why, maybe it's because I'm old, maybe it's because I know exactly what I'm getting this year (the joy of finance) or maybe it's because Santa isn't real and the season has been commercialized to the point that noone really gives a rats ass.
People! It isn't about the presents. It's about the motherfucking food.
Christmas Eve was spent in the company of Jingle All The Way and then many a friend. Once again we went to the Load of Hay. Got to spend some time with Elise, got to see Ryan and Rachel who I haven't seen in quite a while, got to see Sarah who I haven't seen in a fucking age and got to meet her fiance, which was scary. Harry, Joe and Sean headed down late and much fun was had by all. I have Ivory Coast down as coming third in the World Cup.
I should really attempt sleep, it is growing late and I have an early start tomorrow for some bizarre reason. I would blog more but tiredness is slowly creeping towards my brain, nothing constructive would be said so I shall end it on the following:
I made an epic Bacon, Sausage and Egg sandwich. Furthermore Elise is awesome.
Now Merry Christmas to all.

Dances With Smurfs

Ian's Quote O'The Day
Murray: It was peer pressure, but it was awesome

Just a short update this fine evening as my brain is slowly dying. Elise and I saw Avatar today, it's hideously predictable but you forgive it, it's just so damn awesome to watch that you just don't care what. It's a spectacle like no other.
Band Practice was good, Brannigan's Law finally did something and the result was awesome, Lee fronted and I provided backing shout based things, I maintained that I managed to scream in places but the majority were just punk based shout things. Really went well actually. I had forgotten how much fun a band practice could be. I hope we have another soon.
Now I sleep before my headache increases.

Operation Christmas

Tuesday, December 22, 2009
Ian's Quote O'The Day
Hector: My dick doesn't fit in the fucking microwave, cant cook that though can you?

I have successfully finished my Christmas shopping! Still need to wrap and such but all appears to be done.
Spent a few hours in town with Elise, bumped into Dain and Lee looking at weaponary and Predator masks. After our few hours of paniced Christmas shopping were over I returned to mine and read some History. I am just awesome like that.
The Gangs Of New York book is actually hideously interesting, thinking of doing my dissertation on the subject so thought I may as well give it a read.
That was really my day, that and the rekindling of my dislike towards the pompous, arrogant dick that is Heston "I Wanted To Be A Scientist Not A Chef" Blumenthal.

Slay Bells Rage

Sunday, December 20, 2009
Ian's Quote O'The Day
Sam: it is a beautiful day for music and indeed humanity

Switched the channel to Sky One, as you often do at four in the morning, and I was greeted by the glorious sight that is Mr. Eko. I miss Mr. Eko, I wish Lost would return him to us. They could easily. They have done weirder things. The only reason they wrote him out, if I remember correctly, was due to him being caught driving under the influence. The swine.
Spent some time with Elise yesterday. We watched some episodes of Castle and then parted ways. My evening was spent staring at a book I should have started to read.
I didn't read.
Instead I went to the Load of Hay with Murray, meeting Yimbo, Sheard and a few other random men there. Yimbo and Murray ended up back at mine after a prolonged drinking session next to a fire. Santa's Slay was viewed, which may be the single greatest Christmas film I have ever watched, next to Die Hard of course.

The film falls into the epic category of "So bad it's fucking epic".
Today I spent the majority of the day doing very little, it was snowing outside so my plan to go Christmas shopping yet again failed. I lazed around the house, went 29-1 on Modern Warfare 2, and waited for the arrival of Rea Rea, Lawson and Ryan. Xbox was played, Family Guy was watched, I hit my brother, Pizza was eaten, Die Hard was enjoyed in all the epic glory that it deserves and then Rea Rea and I played Spec Ops due to the fact Ryan and Lawson had left and we're just that awesome. It took three albums to complete one Spec Op on Veteran, it was fucking insane.
This blog is hideously badly written but fuck it, its 415 and I want to sleep.
Rage Against The Machine got the Christmas number 1. How fucking awesome is that!

Shopping Attempt #1

Saturday, December 19, 2009
Ian's Quote O'The Day
Father: I'm just saying that if someone starts a fight with you, you should kick them in the balls and run away.

Got to love my the advice of my father, it is a fairly sound theory.
Today I had one simple task; I needed to by presents for those whom I am buying presents for. I met with Elise in Uxbridge, a busy Uxbridge, and decided this simple task was going to be made even simpler. My task now was to look at things I will buy some point soon for people for Christmas.
We returned to mine with a tub full of ice cream and watched several episodes of Castle, isn't Elise fucking awesome?
We then made our way to the Load of Hay were we met a variety of different hombres. The pub was surprisingly packed, I mean it's the Load of Hay, if our group don't outnumber everyone else there it's classed as surprisingly. But this evening our numbers were dwarfed by drunk middle aged folk listening to the live musical stylings of a band who failed to introduce themselves, rookie mistake.
The socializing ended and I made my way along the icey path to the homestead, Modern Warfare 2 was played and unhealthy food made and an unhealthy time of the morning.

Some Like It Hoth

Friday, December 18, 2009
Ian's Quote O'The Day
Father: I love my stick insects. They pretend to be dead but they aren't. They're the best things at pretending to be dead in the world.

Welcome to what I think may be not only the greatest blog title that I have used but also the nerdiest, fairly sure it has been used somewhere before, I mean it's too good not to have been, but damn I am impressed by my pun. That's fucking epic. That's epic on a new and exciting level.
Currently I am failing to play Modern Warfare 2, not in the same way I was failing earlier. Earlier I was just getting killed a lot, the bastards, now I am failing because it won't let my Xbox internet it up with Ryan's. There's a multitude of quasi-racist imagery I could use here but I don't want to detract from the pun based title so I shall leave this at that.
Today was Ice filled. Very fucking ice filled. It wasn't fun. To walk without falling over you not only had to walk like the simplest of 'tards but also have the balance of a surfer. Perhaps a snow based sport would be better... the balance of a snowboarder, that's better, or an ice skater, or something. You would literally slide, actually ice skater fits well with that, several feet for no real reason.
In this weather I travelled to Reading, walked the couple of miles to West Drayton and then from Reading to my abode, stopping briefly to boot up my computer and check the house hadn't died and then I was off to band practice.
Band was good, the singer ended up being a douche and not turning up but we got a lot of stuff done. We now have covers of Aneurysm by Nirvana and Green Machine by Kyuss, Josh Homme's early band. Green Machine had a bass solo in, I nailed this bass solo so well at one point that I thought it may class as a sexual assault.
Once band had banded it's way through I made my way back home stopping at the chicken vendor on the way, food was needed and chicken is good.
I failed to fix my harddrive, came to terms with the loss of How I Met Your Mother and contemplated my next move. Formatting must occur, but first I must evacuate all non-corrupted files from my external harddrive, which is literally everything apart from How I Met Your Mother. This is the Dunkirk of copy and pasting operations, there's a good nine hundred gigabyte of pure win on that there harddrive.
I was supposed to meet Mary, was looking forward to it infact, but alas, it started snowing. Having heard prophecy of "a fuck load more snow" I decided it would be best to head off sooner rather than later, didn't want to run the risk of walking to the station, unable to tell ice from non-ice; broken limbs would've occured. I dislike broken limbs when I can't sue someone.
My brother was kind enough to give me a lift from the station and thus my journey ended. The rest of the evening was spent on the sofa playing Xbox and listening to music.
Really starting to wonder where my life is going after third year, I honestly have no real idea anymore. I'm going to Japan for a bit hopefully but past that I have no clue. I haven't set my sights on a career, I mean I have a back up plan to a plan that doesn't exist! Teaching is "that thing I could probably do" and I would be foolish not to attempt something more than just simple shelf based tasks for the rest of my life. Yet again I settle on "I will figure something out". Japan will have the answers to my problems! It will also eat away the only money I have saved but fuck it, it has to be done.
Apart from this weird "what the fuck am I doing with my life", the previous mentioned "what the fuck am I doing at uni" and the "what the fuck am I doing without any money" I am good, very good infact. Which is rather fucking awesome.

Team Homme

Thursday, December 17, 2009
Ian's Quote O'The Day
Overheard Old Lady On The Train: Did he come in the back way?

My quote of the day was originally going to be a Christmas based anecdote about a 14 year old Aaron and the gift of a vegetable based ABC game, but the above comment when overheard on the train back from the gig made me laugh so much I had to hide behind a scarf.
"Them Crooked Vultures" were the greatest band I have ever seen perform. They took an album just over an hour long and performed a set that was an hour and forty five minutes long. They jammed around songs to a startling and fucking genius degree. Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones are all fucking gods and I can't even start to do the gig justice. Therefore I believe you should youtube the fuck out of their live performance and buy the album. It makes part of me want to stop going to gigs, there's no point, none will top this.
We left Them Crooked Vultures to find it was snowing. Infact this is a lie, the snow had not reached Hammersmith but we had been warned of this through the medium of text messages, thank you Elise. With each passing station the snow rose. Hillingdon was insane, I have never seen Lee drive so slowly and we witnessed a car spin. Got to love snowy weather.
It is in this amazing weather that I must head to Reading, that will be a fun trip.

How I Lost Your Mother

Wednesday, December 16, 2009
Ian's Quote O'The Day
Murray: They'll probably be pissed when they get out of the shower.

My external harddrive appears to have corrupted in places due to my shitty laptop. Put over a new episode of "How I Met Your Mother" and now the "How I Met Your Mother" folder has died. This has made me very sad, ever so scarily sad, this has actually hit me like some form of sledgehammer of shite to the chest.
It will take many hours to get this back.
I hate my laptop.
Apart from this today was good, Murray, Dain, Faye and I hung at the Load of Hay for a while. I had grown tired of this glorious place but there's little better than hanging with friends of a weekday evening, who cares if it's at the Load?
That's all your getting for today, I shall try and fix my laptop and then when I fail I shall cry myself to sleep.

Days Of The Nothing

Tuesday, December 15, 2009
Ian's Quote O'The Day
Chris: Just thought, your piece of skirt can come if she wants?..

You can probably guess pretty much word for word exactly what this blog entry is going to say.
That's right, it'll be a nerd reference, informing you I did very little (if anything) and then some vague attempt at trying to convey just how awesome Sean Bean is when compared to a mere mortal man before telling you I watched excessive amounts of which ever television programme I am currently hooked on before playing unhealthy amounts of which ever game I am tearing my way through.
The reference would've been to Zoolander, I did nothing apart from go to the bank, Sean Bean wrestles robot bears, the television based programme is Castle and the game is Modern Warfare 2

We'll Tear This Building Down, Try To Be Careful What You Say

Saturday, December 12, 2009
Ian's Quote O'The Days
Me: I shanked you like the prison bitch you are.

Being at a party where people were singing along to Architects and A Day To Remember was somewhat surreal, surreal in a very epic vein. I need more aggressive social gatherings like this. Well the good bits anyway; I mean I nearly punched someone for replacing the good music with really generic drum and bass. I can handle drum and bass, I am quite partial to some dubstep, but this was poor drum and bass, poor drum and bass put on by possibly the two most arrogant b'stards I have met in a long time. This and the fact the house appeared to be in various states of disrepair by the end of the evening means. Wouldn't want these two aspects of the evening to repeat themselves at other parties.
Party was good, very good infact, drinking cheap alcohol and listening to epic music with many awesome people I haven't seen in a while, was rather a good use of an evening.
Today was spent watching various television based programmes with Elise, pizza was eaten, TV was viewed and then she departed for her homestead. My evening from here involved many episodes of Castle. Castle is awesome, Nathan Fillion pretty much playing "that old lass from Murder She Wrote", but obviously it's Nathan Fillion, this means that it's awesome.
This was a hideously bad written blog entry, I do apologise.
Simon Cowell referred to "Don't Stop Believing" as "a song not many people know". I don't want to life in a world where this can be said.

Fuck Loads Of Hip Hop

Ian's Quote O'The Day
Lee: She would literally rip his balls off while mating.

I have missed the Load of Hay. Have missed being back in the wonderful cesspool of Uxbridge, it is good to be back. It is very good to be back.
Can't stop listening to Blakroc, that's "The Black Keys" collaboration album with a multitude of Hip Hop stars, it's very fucking good. You should listen to it non-specific reader.
As you may have gathered with your keen observation skills I am infact back in Uxbridge. Which is good. I have missed the homestead.
The evening was good, got to catch up with various people, got to see Elise again, life is good.
That is all. I am drunk. I am tired. I need bed.

A Quest For Photos

Thursday, December 10, 2009
Ian's Quote O'The Day
Murray: We wouldn't have any opposition, and if we did they'd be very frail.

Today involved:
A walk,
A pasty,
A passport photobooth,
A tub of Ice Cream,
A spoon,
A Father Ted DVD.

Am back in Uxbridge tomorrow, this is good news, have missed being back in that ole cesspit. Now I leave to watch the new series of Scrubs from the safety of bed. I had not known it had started, now I watch.
Something bad happened in one of the episodes of Scrubs. The following was said:
Woman: I think I made a bad choice in men
(cuts to her boyfriend with wooden sticks on his hands*
Boyfriend: I'm Wolverine
At Download I put wooden sticks on my hands and proclaimed "I'm Wolverine". I dislike being the punchline to a bad choice in men!

A Late Day Of Warfare

Ian's Quote O'The Day
Rea Rea: I can't give you one now... as technically it is tomorrow now and that would be more of a qomshd = quote of my sleeping hours day

Waking up late was a mistake on my part today. Ended up not being able to see Tasha and failed to get Passport Photos done, it's hard to get these completed when you're in bed asleep you see.
Pretty much everyone I know in the wonderful town of Reading was busy with work so my day involved walking from the fridge to the computer and back again. What an exciting day.
Law Abiding Citizen is an epic film, you should watch this film.

Ian's Quote O'The Days
Lawrence: I'm doing the question "Why did the Greeks win the Persian Wars?" This answer is "Gerald Butler" but I have to drag it out to 2000 words.

The new Mighty Boosh live DVD is horrendously bad. It physically pains me too watch it. It's the kind of DVD that you watch in its entirity just to see if it improves, because nothing can stay this shit ofr the duration of a live comedy DVD, can it?
Turns out it can. It's so unfunny it makes me actually want the Boosh to end in spectacular painful fashion. I mean I am a Boosh fan, the first two seasons were hilarious, the third series a bit hit and miss, the first live DVD was hilarious but now it appears their egos barely fit onto the station, meaning they had to leave the humour and talent at home.
I have now finished for the term, I have no more work to finish. You may think that this signalled the start of some heavy drinking, drinking of a nature usually reserved for drowning depression. However I spent Monday evening and to an extent this evening attempting to lay some win down on the Band Myspace. I ended up giving up on the win and settling on something simple.
Got essays back, averaged at a 2:1. This is good. Back to Uxbridge in a few days, can't wait for the time off, really can't. Just want to be back at home, not having to worry about the lack of food, temperature or impending deadlines. Good times.
