Actually nearly a month since I updated this, been busy with exams and that crap.  Humm, I'm sure it must be longer than that actually....(strokes chin) but maybe not, I do get confused after all.

  Anyway, it's now offical, I'm better than all of you, not only in how good looking I am but also by how much women love me, I have to fight them off with a stick, and also, by my intelligent and savy conversation not to mention my virtuoso style guitar playing.  (Of course, you realise that most of that is actually like a stream of crap spraying from my mouth, which is a beautiful mental image for all of you apart from James who shall add it too his wank bank)

  On the subject of guitars and the ike however there are several pertinent points that you don't know about yet (Gosh, how did you survive without my long guitar related dialogues?)  1:  I have a new guitar, probably mentioned that in an earlier one but can't remeber mentioning it and for those of you who possibly do read this and can remeber if I mentioned them before then you can send me hatemail.  2I have joined a new band called Tourment, within it's motley assortment of members is Luke Tasker on guitar also, Doug the Amasing on amasing bass and gay jokes, Ian on voxilising and Lee on frezied tub thumping.  Tis fun fun fun.  Also have actually got good which is a nice change, got good vibrato, tone and noodling skills.  So yeah, I'm actually pleased with my guitar playing lately.  Excellent, soon the whole world shall bow to the name of Rhys The Bestest Ever.  Or something.......anyway, I also must relate that next term I shall not be going to Rock School.  That's horrified you all I'm sure, but yeah, reason being that it gets completely in the way of band practices with mon proper band with James and I can't be having with that, however, once I can drive I may return to the School of Rock, but who knows...I hope so though.

  Been getting my plans for my application tape ready for ACM, thinking of putting some Blues finger picking, some Jazz chord progressions, some strummed stuff like Drive by Incubus which is fun to play but quite tricky in terms of some slightly odd chords and an intresting tempo, and then finally some full metal shred soloing improvisations and then also the stuff like playing the piece they give you (Which is a complete piece of piss).  I dunno how much I'm supposed to put on though, so shall be calling them tomorrow lunchtime and asking bout what sort of things are required, what's not, what's allowed, what isn't etc.

  Probably bored you with my extensive blathering though, anyway, to those one or two who peruse this, sorry for boring you.

  Rhys (Plotting your doom)

Ten bloody days since I've done this?  My posts become ever more sporadic, probably do to the complete lack of people reading this junk....fools, they shall all pay.

  Seeing as nobody is reading I shall blather for the next few lines; blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah

blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah

blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah

and so on so forth, ad infinitum.

 I love guitar, if you don't love guitar, your clearly mentally unbalanced and should go to your nearest purveyor of musical goods and purchase the finest electric guitar you can get your grubby mitts on.

  Whatever, Rhys.

Well well well, Mr Internet, gonna let me finish this entry without being a wee internet stylee bastard and disconnecting me?  Remebering, of course, that my disconnection will result in you, Mr Internet that is, spending some sweet face time with Madame Brick.

  Anyway, got an Art Exam tomorrow, actual A level!  Eeeek!  Howsoever, I think it should go okay and I also hope to wrange the delightful Ibanez RG Preistage from my parents before wednesday.  The reasons being as follows:  I have to do an assembly on Wednesday morning and I really don't like playing my current guitar that much, at least, I don't like playing it that much anymore, I shall prefur it after I have had it set up to take heavier gauge strings and be dropped to D.  Mmmmmm, Children Of Bodom tuning galore!  Mmmm, anyhoo, I also rekon I could get it cos my sister has been going on Ski Trips galore and so methinks that I should get something to recompencse for my lack of ski trips (The fact that I detest skiing being null here of course).  I actually sat in Music City and played that guitar for over an hour!!  I'm sure I must have been driving the shop dudes mad with my endless widdling on said guitarro, however, I couldn't stop myself, I only stopped when they said that they where closing, hummmm, guitar is too good for it's own darned good it seems!

  Went in to do some art odds and ends on Saterday, and have been doing some more over the weekend, and at least with the art exam it's easy and it means that I get to leave school at like 2:00 o'clock on the Monday, which is a superlative way to go about things on a Monday, I will probably drop by School again at about five though to meet James coming out of the Buisness Studies mock though.  Anyhoo, to the music listening boat...AWAY!!! (Flies off)

  Well, you know what?  I hand in my drama coursework, wait a week for it to be returned with notes, comments, etc.  It doesn't turn up so on Friday I go to Mrs Mather, "Was my drama Coursework ok?" And it seems like she's lost it...good job...it only took about 10 hours...and most of it was handwritten so as to set it apart from my other drama coursework...so, slapped wrists all around I feel.

  Anyway, that annoyance aside, guitar going goooood.  I listen to play back off myself and think, "Mmmm, that's good," rather than what I used to think  of, "Arrrrghh!  It's like shit dribbling out of my fingers!!"

  Well, anywise...there we go..

Guitarroman forever.

Gloiven haiven!  McFlurry!  Taste of my sythe twixt thine brows!  Twixt the nasecular cavitys!! Blurble, gllloooooooiiiinnngggg.

  WORSHIP CHILDREN OF BODOM!  YOU ARE NOT WORTHY!  THEY OWN YOU!!  PAY FEALTY TO THE THRONE OF GODLIKE MUSICIANSHIP!

  Well, anyway, yes, normal do's lately, normal do's.  Not much to report, apart from that I've gone quite quite mad.  Mad as a hatter, whom is mad...GLOIVEN!  *Coughs, adjusts tie* Yes, well, if you know what's good for you you would do well to look into Children Of Bodom, only those who are ass rangers don't enjoy their sweet strains of godlike Melodic Death/Power metal goodness.  It's like sex, for the soul and ears.  But better!  And if you play guitar you can't go far wrong with learning absolutly everything that they have produced....it'd be a challenge anyways....

Just do it.

Rhys.

Well, drama exam went allright, I was kinda worried at first, worrying that it would be a really harsh examiner or something but she was really nice and that relaxed me and I found that I could then act fine, if not better, than ever before.  So that was good.  Also, last night there was a huge thunderstorm and I went outside and walked around barefoot at three o'clock in the morning in the raging wind, torrential rain and with all the thunder and lightening.  It was so cool, walked nearly all the way to my school.  The solitude was comforting I found.  I like being alone for alot of the time.  I sometimes wish that I was.  But there we go....still...foolish thoughts on storms aside....
  Guitar going exemplaraly well methinks.  Was playing today and thinking, yes, this is sounding really professinal.  So all was goooood.  And I was happy.  Yay....I like happy.  Planning on starting work on a website, once I've got around to making it I shall put a link to it on this hear little cubby hole....not that I think that anyone's reading it.  Been ages since someone commented and that was James.....oh well....

  Well, I have a drama exam tomorrow.  An actual A level! (Squeals in terror) I just hope that all my lines go okay.  In the performance yesterday I had one bit where I messed up cos my mind went blank and I stuttered for a few seconds then said the character I was speaking too's line!  Oh, how embarrasing, fortunaty it seems that non of the audience where any the wiser.  Still, it was embarrasing.  I think they didn't notice the stuttering because my character was in a rage at the time and they may have thought it was supposed to apoplectic sputterings....lets hope so...

  Well, been into town and left this open so it's been about 5 hours since I started writting this blog....but anyway, purchased a Dimmu Borgir t-shirt, two Robert Rankin Books, some Identity photos, Guitar World Magasine a single plectrum and a bottle of Pepsi....well...it's all good.  (Slurps at thought of Dillenger Escape Plan)

  So, another entry?  Well, I felt you cool guys deserved it...I've listened to a stupid amount of Children Of Bodom now.  It's late and I'm talking to Darren, the mighty overlord of 1337.  As he says in his name, 1 b3 7h3 1337 m4573r.  And who can argue with that.........well, actually, I intenstly dislike leet.  It's worse that AOL speak such as lol, or whatnot.  However, I am willing to let them go, because I'm that kinda forgiving guy. 

  Have played guitar for a bit, it's good stuff, as it always is.  Have just been going through all the odds and ends that me and James have written, we've actually got alota stuff that is nearly finished or can easily be finished or at least looks promising.  More so than I thought we had.  So that's goooood.  Look out for us when we come!  Cos we didn't bring any tissues.  Hehe, Nick told me to mention him because he feels left out so here we go, hey Nick, I said something for you!  People, check out Nick's space, there's a link to it in my list of cool people's spaces underneath my good book list.  Ahhh, still haven't finished Time Must Have A Stop!  I've become bogged down about 2/3rds of the way in because lately i've always been going to bed to tired so I always read half asleep and then forget everything that I read last time when I go to read it next time!  It is most vexing.  However, yes, check out Nicks Space, he's in a band too y'know.

  Anyway's, adios, Rhys.

  Well, am listening to Children Of Bodom, doing a WAJ homework, fortunatly the Brigemaster gave me the answer to the first Q.  So that's good.  Huzzah and all....Children Of Bodom, they are masters.  They make me happy (slurps).  Been speaking to Joban, some o' Rhian's friends, Og, Ian, Nick's just come online, cockbite that he is.  Was also speaking to Sian and having a funny convo.  Ahh, MSN, it's great stuff. 

  Gutar is goood, guitar is great.  It's been going tres well and I've been making loads of mental sweep tap things up.  Also gonna make some sweep tap slide riffs up to increase skill in them, (excellent).  Am also going to learn every single Children Of Bodom song I have decided, it is my royal imperative to do so.  Mmmm, they give me a semi...well, actually, they don't but if music could give me a boner this would....well, anyway, I have decided to get an audience participation thing going!!!  Okay, here's what happens, I say what things I rekon are the best in the world and then people post comments saying theirs!  (A cunning ploy to try to get someone to comment...)

Okay, I rekon the best things in the world are:

  Children Of Bodom

  Shred solos

  Keyboard solos

  Guitar and keyboard harmonised solos

  Guitar

  Good films

  Listening to music

  Pretty girls

  Concerts

  Meeting heros

  Drawing

  Destroying wretched school!  And maiming foolish teachers who would have me do work!!

Goddamned internet, I'd written an extensive blog entry only too lose it when the whoring internet packed in and I had to restart the bloody computer.  Pissed me off verily.  Am now feeling pissed of because I've gotta wait up for a mate of my bro's to turn up and I've nobody to speak to as Darren's not replying and James fucked off ages ago and wouldn't come back.  Bastard!!!  So now I'm just sitting here waiting for a knock at the door and feeling miffed.  Funnily enough I feel quite tired, could be becaues I did a load of work today and it's catching up with me although I'm glad I did it because it's Coursework and stuff and needs to be in.  Ayyyeee...stupid coursework.  Handed English in on Friday and all which felt good as I think I may already have covered. 

  Ahhh, I would talk about guitars and stuff but I'm feeling too tired.  Just gonna mention that I'm gonna try and put a vid of me playing guitar into this place...if that's possible...or whatever, if I should happen to get it too work then worry not about any slip ups you see me make, most of it is completely made up on the spot and so you may notice some mistakes...but as I say, it's only improvising....just doing different things, sweeping, legato, picking, and so on.  Didn't do any tapping actually thinking about it....oh well....it's easy stuff is tapping....unless your doing sweep tap slides but still not too hard really.  Impresses the non guitar playing people alot though....

  I've texted James a few times but he's not replying!!  Raaaagghh!! I need someone to speak to damn it!!  Curse you frogman!!!!!

  Oh well...not much I can do about it if the fool's gone to sleep at this early hour of quater past two in the morning.  Anyway....I wish that more people would comment...only the foolish frog has commented....and then again under the guise of different people....

Oh well, in conclusion, screw you James, screw you internet and screw you work, Rhys.

Today (well, yesterday as tis after midnight, like Bodom....) went pretty well, I am learning a bunch of shred songs...cos...well, I've realised that although I can do loads of this shreddy stuff the only songs that I can actually remeber how to play are: Bodom After Midnight by Children Of Bodom, For The Love Of God by Steve Vai and The Flight Of The Bumble Bee by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsicov.  So I'm thinking, that's a bit of a small repitoir for a guitarist, I should learn more.  Soooo, I'm busy learning Paganini's Caprice #5 in A Minor transcribed by Yngwie Malmsteem (Mmm, finger mangling good) and I'm also starting work on Hatebreeder by Children Of Bodom.  Also thinking of trying to learn Dragon Force's Fury Of The Storm.  That solo might take some time to learn though.   Then again, it's probably easier (maybe...) than this Paganini piece.  I should also learn some more of the stuff that I've written.  Still, I can improvise as well and I've been mostly doing that lately to be honest.  I mean, actually, thinking about it, I hardly ever just sit down and practice exercises, I normally just sit there and improvise for several hours using as many different styles and techniques and stuff that I can. 

  Humm, this Paganini piece is indeed hard, should be fun fun fun.  Excellent for increascing finger accuracy and so on I'm sure considering all the string skips and streches and so on.

  Okay, I've played through it a couple of times, it's definatly do able, it'll take some practice though.  Loving these dimished 7ths, sounding gooooood.  Okay, yeah, I've pretty much learnt the last page of it now....well, I can play it wiht the music in front of me....memorising this little beast is gonna be the hard part.  Still, I thought that I'd never be able to memorise The Flight Of The Bumble Bee but I got there in the end.  (in case your wondering I'm writting this in instalments between playing guitar)

Well...I can think of no more to say, apart from watch Retarded Animal Babies!  Tis funny.

Hey hey hey, he's back, and he's just as sexy as ever (which is twice as sexy as everyone else).  Well, what do you know?  I mention that nobody seems to comment then three people comment on my thing talking about nobody commenting...interesting...big thanks to Frogman, that was class stuff, I'll be telling all and sundry about those frogs tomorrow.  My friend James who happened to be checking out mon space was having a fit of laughter over it apprently.  I would have loved to have seen your space, twould have been classic.  Alas, neither of the two other good fellows/fellowettes have public spaces so I couldn't return the favour of commenting on their pages.  If you two happen across my little space again and want me to comment on your space or whatever then make ye spaces public.  Hehe.  Well, anyway, I'm really feeling quite chipper now.  Well, anyhoo, that's another blog done at a stupid time in the morning!!!!

So...tired...can barely...type...ZZZZZZZZ...see boys and girls, this is what happens when you don't get enough sleep, say, three hours in 24 like me, and then have to do coursework to godawful hours of the morning...Ahhhh, I place a bane on thee C/W.  Still, it's getting there...it's getting there....ooooyyyyeeee....

  Watched Foamy more this evening and also watched a vid of Joey Jordison doing a triple hardcore drum solo whilst being raised up and spun around.  God like stuff.  He's amazing.  If I where of the skateboarding fraternity I'm sure I should go Xtreme...to the MAX! Not that there's anything wrong with skateboards of course, just that they have terrible catchphrases...or whatever they are...I'll just shut up...

  Guitar lesson went well today, maximum shreddage, minimum mistakage.  My guitar teacher was verily impressed with my picking, sweep picking and legato.  .  I rule, worship dans me throne.  Still, need to work on one or two things.  But it's well on it's way.  (Yeeesss, Rubs hands) 

More good news!  I've managed to get a vid that Brian made of me playing guitar to work!!  Huzzah!

  A pretty good day overall.  Apart from no body leaving any comments on my thing.

Blathering yours, Rhys

Well, got ma English Coursework done, YAY! That's one of my Courseworks down...ooooye...stupid coursework.  Fills me with...THE FURY!!!  Coursework?  Pshaw!! Pshaw I say to that.  Oh well, getting them out the way feels so good.  Well, last night, I went to bed at 6:30 in the morning because I was so addicted first of to reading Time Must Have A Stop by Aldous Huxley (that's one that I'm really guessing most people haven't read) but it's excellent, of course, not for those who aren't that great at reading or who's vocabulary is limited or who's understanding of poetry and it's construction is limited.  Or who don't understand various parts of history, the arts, litrature or politics.  But a stimulating read is so enjoyable!  A superbly crafted book, written in 1945 I believe and set in 1928.  Fascinating.  Then after I'd read a good chunk of that I went onto guitar and played for a long time, I really have come close to perfectly picked 24th notes at 160 BPM.  I was reaching 153 the otherday.  This is with three finger and four finger per string patterns.  Alas, yet to get close to that speed with two finger per string patterns although I can shoot through the Pentatonic at a fair lick.  I am also now finding it very easy to go from picking to sweeping to legato etc.  So good progress!! It needs alot of warm up though...but it's worth it.  Anyway, then, after I'd finished guitaring I went and read some more of Time Must Have A Stop and then fell asleep. 

  Just been watching Foamy The Squirrel too for the first time in a couple of monthes, I'd forgotten how amazingly funny he is, also, it was good for there was a positive cornucopia of episodes I hadn't seen for me to go through, I also watched some old faves like, Nuts Too You.  Class stuff. 

  Am listening to Rusty Cooley at the mo and air guitaring.  It's gooood, very gooood.  I'm also looking forward to me guitar lesson tomorrow, hopefully it will go more pleasingly than last time where I hadn't had a chance to warm up and was playing embarrisingly badly.  I hate it when that happens so very much indeed...

  It has been decided that when me and James go to the ACM that Daz (Look in pictures of drunks, he's in there) shall live with us and be the band mascot.  He's just gonna be hanging y'know...he's gonna also be in charge of the important task of buying booze for the nights pissings.  Cos to be fair, most clubs are a bit lame as they are overpriced, full of chavs and have dance music.  Ghastly, so just sitting at home with friends getting wankered of our skulls sounds good.  Small partys are such good fun y'know...especially when one also indulges in some illegal substances....  Would I do such a thing?

  Well, anyway, I'd best be hitting the old dusty trail to my bedroom to do some art c/w before playing guitar, reading some more of Time Must Have A Stop and then maybe sleeping...maybe....we shall see...until next time then...

Uhhh, stupid school.  Depresses me...but oh well, had a pretty good day, played guitar alot, practised my four finger per string legato, it's going well, the lick that I've come up with to practise it and also practice changing from doing four fingers per string to three fingers, it covers both, is in D Major.  I start on the 12th position E on the High E, then play D, C#, B on that string going down, so frets 12, 10, 9, 7 on the High E, then play A, G, F#, E (frets 10, 8, 7, 5 pm the B string), then on the G string play D, C#, B, A on the G string (frets 7, 6, 4, 2, it needs a big strech, if you can't reach it, roll your, remeber to stay loose, don't go too fast to start with!!!), then play G, F#, E on the D string (frets 5, 4, 2) then on the A string play D, C#, B on the A string (Frets 5, 4, 2) and then on the E string play A, G, F#, E, F#, G, F# (Frets 5, 3, 2, 0, 2, 3, 2).  Play this in demi-semiquavers (32nd notes) in 4/4 time with the last F# being a crochet upon which I do a pinch harmonic and heavy vibrato (sorry, I can't remeber the exact pitch of the pinch harmonic from memory, just make it squeal damn it!!!).  Take this exercise slowly and you can then start expanding it till your running all over the neck and over all the strings.  My record speed is demi-semiquavers at 127 BPM, I hope to beat that soon though!   Remeber, stay loose, take it slow to start with and concentrate on finger accuracy before you start speeding up.  Unsure the notes are crisp and off the same volume and all of the same lenght and that they aren't blurring together.  It takes practice, but it sounds wicked good!

  Well. for those of you who aren't guitrists (so most of you) I'm sorry but I am feeling to tired to write much else, except I spoke to Steph for a long time in drama today!  Yay!!  Makes me happy, and that's good because not much makes me all that happy lately.  Stupid courseworks and stuff.  Oh well...not that much longer too go...(groans)

  Well, I have a drama rehersal in two hours and I only just finished learning my lines.  Ayye, well, fortunatly I find it quite easy to memorise lines, I guess it comes from learning the guitar stuff.  Anyhoo, I play a shrivelled up and dusty old fart basically going by the name of Dr Lombardi.  The play is A Servant to Two Masters and it's originally written for the Commidia d'el arte (Arrgh, spelling?) by Goldoni, it was the first scripted play they've ever had y'know, before this one it was all just off the cuff sorta stuff with spectacular acrobatics and the like.  Although I imagine that my character wouldn't have gone in for many accrobatics, beyond the classic of an old person falling over.

  Anyway, last night I had a party at mon abode, it went well apart from Oakly spewing on the rug but i spent half an hour this morning scraping the puke out of it with a tooth pick.  Also generally cleaned up and so on.  Just had a microwave lasagne and got pissed of cos they always make them so that they are roasting hot on top but freezing underneath, not that I fell into the trap of half eating it before realising, I am cunning in the way of microwave meals and take them outa the plastic thingy and put them on the plate upside down so that I can test the underside.  Foolish manufacure!!!  Ahh well, nowt to do about it apart from bung it back in the microwave for a couple of minites on thermo-nuclear setting.  That gets anything piping hot.  Mmmm, roasty...

  Also, didn't sleep last night, after party had to carry Oakly back to his house then finally got back home at two o'clockish, then spoke to James and Ian and Joban for a bit and then James went at about 2:15 and Ian about an hour after that.  Me and Joban however stayed up until half five talking when she went for fear that her parents would come downstairs from getting up and be verily displeased with her.  I then stayed on for a bit watchin Happy Tree Friends and adding some odds and sods to the space.  Then went and had a nice long walk, got back, watched TV, got sick of the lame songs apart from that new Gorillaz song which is really, quite, great.  Then went and tidied up the debris from the party and then went back on MSN, talked to Doug for a while about Megadeth, Metallica and sub-par albums, (Cough)Risk(Cough)Load(Cough)Reload(Cough).  Then watched TV for another coupla minites then came back on here and that's where I've been ever since...aye...The life and times of a loser....  And this Sunday is slipping past so fast, will be school tomorrow.  Yuck...ghastly, but oh well...

Added some pictures of drunk people for you to laugh at.  The guy with the bowel is the one who was sick on our rug, and he gonna pay!!!

  Done a load of stuff on my Space today, added my fave guitarists list and my fave bands list.  Sorting out some of the music lists for I had cocked them up somewhat before and arranged it into a more pleasing compositon overall in my opinion, I have a few more ideas of things to add but can't be arsed at the moment.  Am thinking I might put some guitar lessons that I've come up with on here if that's possible, urk, maybe not, I dunno, one shall experiment forthwith, actually, not forthwith, some other time, I can't be arsed at the moment. 

  Oh yeah, I also added a link to the Happy Tree Friends site in my list of Favorite Websites, it's down at the bottom, check it out, I find it stupidly funny, but then again, maybe that's just me....(rolls eyes) anyway...that's enough for now, can't be arsed with writting more.

  Well, I shall be leaving to ensconce myself in my bed soon.  However, I have just had an enjoyable several hours on MSN and with the magic of a webcam have recived the visual delights of Ian trying to drink a can of Carlings and then after half a can or so spewing violently into a bowel that he had handy for such an occurance, it was all stringy and warm apprently...oh how we laughed.  Have also been checking out Happy Tree Friends on the internet and saw an episode that I hadn't seen.  I sent the link to Ian but he was disgusted by it...this coming from a guy who makes himself sick on purpose....however, I was laughing my ass of and was worried that I might wake my parents.  Fortunatly not however.  Now I'm here...all alone...with no one to speak too...(Weeps dramatically) well, I know what will cheer me up...CHILDREN OF BODOM!!! Yeeeaah!! And RUSTY COOLEY!!!  Yeeeaaah.  Top stuff, ripping good stuff...top hat dare I say?  As supposed to a rank bad hat.  Which no one wants to be...unless they're some kinda bad hat which is rank lover...but not many people (or hats) are like that. 

  Nosensical gibberings brought on by overdosing on Pepsi aside, I am adding Brave New World too my book list right now and will add the Happy Tree Friends site as well probably, and Foamy the Squirrel's too, they're both just ripe for laughing so hard that you spill piping hot gravy all over myself....not that that happened of course... Why would I be conducting experiments with a gravy boat (full), a can of Pepsi and the Clifton Suspension Bridge?  Could you see me doing that?  Of course not.  'Twould be madness and as 'tis said, "A gravy boat (full), a can of Pepsi (diet) and the Clifton Suspension Bridge a ghastly combination make.  Fear thee those who would dabble in such black arts, for thinst is a heretical and loathsome occupation and thine wouldst best tary not in postponing all dark procedings lest the Inquistion find you and change your eschatological status for the worse.  Oh, thee may protest but they will beat it out of you through their cunning ways, bracing constitutionals and marathon bong sessions, these dark torments whilt breakest thee and then, though thinst might attempt to make amends, your soul is truly damned to the pit, for eternity.  Woe be unto thine, and may fresh skid marks in thine pants alight through terror of these grave perils.  You have been warned! (So do it and I'll fucking spank you)" I believe that it was Baron VonEinsiferum who said suchly and who can argue with such wisdom?  I know that I can't.

  Well, I've vaugly found a method of getting the internet to work although it involves me reaching around the back of the tower and wiggling the Wireless reciver until it works and then holding it there until the web page or whatever has loaded.  A bit of a nuisance, but then, less of a nusicance than what happens sometimes if I fail to take part in such an activity.  After my mater is back from running the marathon she is going to get Tom from across the road (An IT whizz) to come fix it.  Then all troubles will hopefully be dealt with and I shall no longer have such ghastly accidents in my furys that have previously happened (Long story, suffice to say, it involved a Helicopter, The Osmunds, three paper straws and ten thousand gallens of roasting hot tomato ketchup, I'm sure your imagination can do the rest.  [Urrk, Ketchup , foul stuff])  Well, I had best away to do those odds and ends on my space so until then dear friends (I'm sure I speak only to myself here) I bid you adieu.

  Thanks to LostGirlEvilWorld, she botherd too comment, yay, someone who cares enough to read my ramblings.  If she happens to come back onto here again thanks.  And Andy's commented too but then he's a mate from school so it hardly counts. 

  Anyway, I'm feeling better today, had been feeling sick, and indeed am still feeling sick but I managed to eat something today and not spew!! Huzzah!! I am feeling kinda peeved at the moment though.  I had been planning on going down to London for the weekend to watch my Mum running the London Marathon (well, she's not gonna be running the New York one in London....) but I have a drama rehersal on Sunday that i really can't miss as it opens in ten days, have been learning my lines madly.  Ahh, there's one bit where I'm suppoesed to be getting mega stressed, and if I shout for as long as Mr Howells wants me to then I get all dizzy and light headed....ahh well, I'm sure I'll bumble through it, I always do in the end...eventually. 

  Anyway, today has been good, finished Brave New World and a comment that I didn't post in my last entry although I had thought it (and LostGirlEvilWorld also said this) it does remind me alot of George Orwells 1984 (Interesting fact here, he wrote it in 1984 and to get the title simply turned the 4 and the 8 around....wow...now that is amazing isn't it....).  I am also currently listening to Under The Rotted Flesh by Cannibal Corpse.  Top stuff, death metal at it's best.  If you like stuff like that check out my music.  I also have some ripping good tunes (or as the dance music fraternity would have it, "choons,") in there.  Am thinking that I may get around to doing that music list full of softer stuff like Radiohead, the Donnie Darko soundtrack and Daft Punk and the like.  Still, my main love is the heavy stuff, and you gotta have the mental Rusty Cooley stylee shreddage.  Am trying to transcribe his Under The Influence song, and failing utterly misserable, but it gives me something to do in my spare time I guess and that's good seeing as how I don't like TV all that much, although as I've probably said else where Scuzz is gernerally pretty good for bands that actually don't suck.  Kerrang used to be best but then Scuzz came along and Kerrang started going and putting rap and Razorshite on there and it fills me with fresh linen underwear soiling rage.   Alas, it seems that this is the drivel that is popular nowadays.  Ah well, it'll go away in the end, or at least, not be so thrust in our face.

  Also, the internet has been driving me nigh to the edge of blathering insanity with it's shenanigans, but I think I've managed to get it pretty much under control, even with my non existant IT skills....well, anyway, that's probably enough for tonight.
