Take Me Away

The past few days have been very busy, very good, and rather exciting.

I shall try and sum up what’s happened:

• Friday night was great, Stellastarr bounced, Morning After Girls flanged (to john’s great disaproval), and the Twenty-Twos Heights did the whole rock band thing.
• Saturday morning afternoon was very good, considering I missed the whole morning. I attempted to build another pedal, worked on website, played guitar, walked about, cleaned room, watched shrimps, spoke to people. Not hugely exciting. I also got forgotten, while parents were invited to an indian restaurant (sausage omlette pwns curry anyday)
• Sunday, cold, cold, cold.

Chemistry was fun, although organic chemicals = funny smells, and NO BURNING. So :/. Bio was fun, although we spent the whole lesson talking about cooking things and going to uni, amazing how sidetracked you can get, the conversation reached a peak with “eels have green blood plasma”.

P.S was as always, quiet and library based. Which is always good, it was also followed shortly by Physics. Mr Khan looked like he was about to die for most of the lesson, and proceeded to flop onto the table halfway through the lesson. Meanwhile, nikko, myself, and the imfamous Chrispy had a battle of calculator writage, and eventually ended this bout of rambling type with “No don’t ask mwee questions” (electric wookie reference).

Lunchage = Townage. Up to the pinapple and back, zero cdage. Upon returning ala school we went to the Hodson hall for a talk from an exconvict guy, a magistrate, a prison guard, the director of victim support, a victim suporter (what else do you call them) and a chaplain who seemed to have trouble getting her words across. The talk was, riviting, as expected and Lou and her friends aparently spent the whole time…watching you kinda looking out of it”. Which is probably very true.

But I must depart now, farewelly.

funny how things come back. lifehouse.

ok, wow. It was amazing. What more can I say?

• Chrispy: Glasses crunched (ed’s punched)
• Nikko: stickers peeled
• Nhoj: hair shaken
• Hetty: coats shaken (nikko’s thumped)
• Christian: ish
• Me: Happy (as always)

Go to www.stellastarr.com and listen, now!

Such a powerful, emotional piece. A work of pure brilliant, now in handy pocket acoustic guitar based joy. Thanks Hetty! If you haven’t got it already, get it NOW

Today was good, if not very cold and rainy, went into town at lunch with, nhojnchrisnednhetty (to follow a similar pattern). Chocolate was bought…. things were overheard… IT, I shall say no more. We walked all the way to the pinapple for no apparent reason, and nobody seems to know why.

Chemistry was good, mithun threatened to push me down the science block stairs (again). Personally I can’t wait, stair falling is always a highlight of the day. Physics was well…  It was 131 after all… Damn

The bus on the way back was good, plenty of swaying to music. funny looks, nah they’re just jealous. Upon returning home I discovered that we have a new bottle of baileys!! Woo ^_^ and that the shrimps are now visible, maybe big enough soon to start taking photos, who knows!
Tomorrow will involve more boat repairs, drills, paint brushes… what fun can be instore? Find out tomorrow!

With that, I’m gonna get an early night. I hope everything goes well, my condolences.

Music: Goo Goo Dolls – Iris (Acoustic)
Shrimps: 1mm
Calculator: RAD
Distortion: Out of batteries.

It’s late, school starts tomorrow.

I don’t have time for a proper blog entry, so you’re getting a mind dump. Ready? Too late.

Gha, missed 5 minutes of 24. Why are battery chargers so hard to find? PC keeps on dieing. Harmonics are fun. Where would I be without my friends? I hate getting up early. I hope it’ll be light tomorrow. Bang and blame. Things can be so complicated… I hope you feel better soon. Shrimps. Room is a tidy mess. Bloody circuits. Electricity and water do not mix. 133 or 131? Solder arrived, flux smells like roast chicken. Where did the holiday go? 2oC, partially cloudy. Triops food, do not eat. Omg a whole box gone already? Cats need feeding. Fall on me, for anything you like. Where do all the socks go? Quantum tunneling, bah. Discovering life on earth. I try… I try… Do not tread on small pieces of metal. Sour milk and 47.

With that, I better get some rest. Goodnight, and thank you to all of you, for everything, ever.

The half term is almost up, which means my brother has once again left… Really got to me, it’s always sad to see him go.. Only 6 weeks I guess. Hugs are great… Made me feel better atleast, must find more people to hug. I’ll miss him, it’s not quite the same when he’s gone.

Birmingham was really great, the concert was fantastic (well done to everyone involved esp Hetty and Paul) it really was great. Why is it that everyone is scared of going to look at the canal… FOOLS.  The encore happened (how could it not), and the resulting musical extraness was really cool. The elgar piece completely rocked the show, in a classical sense… It was wow ^_^.
Curley shoes, congratulations to who ever it was wearing them in the cello section, they brightened the day greatly.

The journey was very very long, but once on the coach it was great. Great fun trying to work out who Stu was, and then discovering he was less hypothetical than previously thought (it actually makes quite a nasty thud noise when you hit him). I was sad to discover that my little oragami bird got *evolved* into a star very shortly after making it… just as long as this new arrangement is more suited to life.

In other news, shrimps have occured. They are too small to name, so must wait for an increase in size before naming can be carried out.

Farewell and goodnight!

Music of the second: Empty Spaces – Pink Floyd

It is a fact, shrimps will occur. I have put the eggs into water! It says, in no simple terms, that within 24 hours. Shrimps will appear. This is incredible.

I will name them:

• Chrispy
• Nikko
• Nhoj
• Hetty
• Lou
• (hypothetical) Stu
• James

Aparently they’re carnivorous, as much as it would be unfortunate to lose one of them… I wonder who will eat who!!

And for your viewing pleasure. The incredible chrispy.
(maybe another time)
Concert tomorrow, woohoo! ^_^

*sleepage*

This blog update will come in two halves. First the persons/objects the comments apply to, and then the comments themselves. Who do each belong to? Go figure.

Guitar, Music, Nikko, Hetty, Chrispy, Nhoj, Lou, Mr Swim, Mr Swam, Circuit Board

Shiny, Mwee, Farewelly, 3:15, where have all the texts gone, swimming, soldered, gone, deeply philosophical about the whole thing, interpol.

Good night, and if you find any 27k resistors. Do email them to either me or nikko. Many thanks.

It’s almost thursday as I write this, only a minute remains. Incredible.

It seems that Nikko has spent most of the day making a “thing” doomsday device, and says that he must find a 48mhz crystal. Upon questioning he says that 48mhz is exactly the correct frequency to turn people in jelly. I’m not sure that I believe him.

Wow, it’s thursday now. I must go, for there are people that need sleeping.

Wow, rain.

When I say wow, I mean. OMG STOP. It’s been raining practically all day, which means no cycling! This is not good. On a better note it has meant more time for guitars, which is never a bad thing. Definately got another website to make, which is excellent news! I can be doing something useful

Guitarage of the day:

• Underneath The Bunker – REM
• Time Is Running Out – Muse
• Imitation Of Life – REM (woo)
• Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun – Pink Floyd (damn you chris, this riff will never go away)

I’ve just spent the last hour playing cheddar gourge with Nikko and Hetty, this eventually amounted to technology sucking like a snake sucking on an egg with suckers. Hm, I’ll try to forget that for now.

In other news, monkeys have colonised mars. That is all. Goodnight.

Recording of the night: computeroverlords.mp3 (thanks to Chrispy for this fine piece of audio blasphemy)
