Early mongoose catches the snake

I still maintain that it's the morning until 3pm.

Today is going to be mental, I have literally finished all my work for the term - it feels wierd and I don't know what to do with myself (except go and hand in, obviously)

I have a coffee in hand, listening to the blues, I've shaved and showered and sat in the sun on the doorstep - all the signs that I'm in a very good mood today. Maybe I'll go to the beach or take the ferry somewhere, I don't know. I left myself a few days here after hand ins to pack and stuff so I'll be back on Sunday, it's starting to feel like overkill now cause I want to be on my way back to Swindon.

Will, I also got something for you this week:

I'm gonna say i'll finish this later but I probably won't.

See you all in three days for the Vic karaoke grand finale :)

Edinburgh is so sunny.

It's been properly gorgeous the last week.
I mean, shorts, t-shirts, sun cream, BBQ style gorgeous.

Will, I got you this:

Hmm. Some catching up to do.
Went to Belfast for St Paddy's with Pete and Oonagh.

This is us.
It was wonderful. We drank lots and saw lovely things.

Did other various nice things during the week.
Had a test, did an essay.

Jon came up with Drew on Monday.
Jon played guitar at the songwriters night at Ale House, and then we took them to Hive. I think it was Videogame night as they were played Pokemon / Tombraider / Sonic / etcc on the big screen, and there were little pixelated Mario's everywhere.

It's been nice.

Now, I shall continue this later with challenge responses and etc

Actual blog #186

I think the blogger counter thing includes the drafts that never got used. By my reckoning we still have fourteen to go until we hit the big milestone.

Hi Mongooses (Mongeese?)

Right now I am hungry, but never fear; I am having a delicious home cooked roast which I don’t have to do anything in order for it to be made. That’s right motherfuckers. I am home.

So I have had a pretty pleasant day today. I went to Wembley to watch Swindon play in the Johnston’s Paint Trophy final. Swindon lost and to tell the truth, they were pretty bad at football. They have been doing really well up until now so I can’t complain too much. I had a nice day as well so that was good. I also saw David from a distance, we waved at each other, it was cool. The stadium is right by where Wembley Arena is. I will be going there in a little over two weeks to see Frank Turner. I am still incredibly excited. OH and in other exciting music news, the night before Frank David, Kate and I are going to see Ben Marwood, Jim Lockey and the Solemn Sun and Crazy Arm along with a super secret special guest. I love all of those bands so much. Ah, why is this happening over 2 weeks away?

Being at home is pretty sweet to be honest. I like not really having to do things in order to stay alive. That’s really the biggest short fall in living alone. Cooking and cleaning and washing are just a big old ball ache which I never seem to have enough time to do.

My last week of uni term was tiring and little else. I stayed up until 3 writing essay on Monday, then had lectures at 9 every day of the week. It was also housemate Andy’s birthday. We made him a giant cookie instead of a cake and went out and got drunk. He was hammered so we ran away and left him with his girlfriend. I got some free chips and curry sauce from Jason’s Donnervan on the way home. On Friday my mum came to pick me up because she is lovely. We had lunch in Jamie Oliver’s restaurant and I had pasta with crab in it. Harry is quite right, crab is delicious.

I am so enjoying this recent sunny weather. I hope it goes on for ever. It is making me want to play cricket. Also hang out in Lydiard or something with you.

Hey remember when I said one of the things I was going to do this year was get fit? Yeah me neither really. Well I am actually going to start doing that this Easter. I have been meaning to start going running for a long time, it is a bit scary at uni though because I live on quite a busy road with people all around and I am horribly unfit so would be horribly out of breath the whole time and I don’t think I would enjoy that happening, especially with lots of people about. Living in the middle of nowhere is good in this respect, I can go running and no one will even see me. So yeah, by this time next week I will have gone running at least three times. And that right there is a promise that I will not break!

Yesterday it was all nice and sunny so I decided to play with my camera a bit. I set it up on a tripod by the birdfeeder thing in the garden and used the remote control it came with to try and take cool pictures of birds. The trouble was, because the remote was free, it was rubbish and you had to be really close to the camera for it to work, pretty much negating its use. With me trying to hide in the bushes, the birds were too afraid and to go anywhere near the camera most of the time. Here is the best picture I took. I have ordered a new remote of the internet that works from miles away so I’m going to try again this week.

I have to start revision this week which is not a fun prospect. It should be ok though because I have a whole month to learn 8 weeks’ worth of work. So yay, learning I guess.

David, I haven’t given your challenge much thought I am afraid and I really can’t think of something I like that is embarrassing and you guys don’t know about. I love cricket, but you all know that, also it is nothing to be ashamed of. I’ll try think of stuff this week. Also, the poetry was beautiful.

I’m going to see lots of you soon I hope. I can not wait.

Oh and hey, I just found where I saved funny pictures before I had a blog pictures folder.

Blog #199

Here's my song

I've watched all of the star wars prequels the past few days, the pain inside was rage in my soul, and that only leads to the dark side. I told myself I was training myself in the ways of the force by controlling my emotions but about halfway through the third film I became one with the force as I realised pride had clouded my judgement and had to go do something else. Star Wars has taught me so much, even the shitty ones.

It's been a pretty quiet week here in Falmouth, its been mostly just work and sleep and tings. Like everyone else, I've comletely run out of money so I'm surviving for the rest of the term on my cans of soup and ready noodles (just a week can't be that bad for me, right?) Two more essays to write and then it'll be HOLIDAY TIME! Seriously can't wait for this term break, it couldn't come soon enough. I made a list of things I'm going to do when I get back which made me think of a challenge: what are you looking forward to most about coming home to Swindon? I'm setting a limit of three cause I know how exciting Swindon is, people are likely to get carried away.
Mine are:

• Seeing the kittens again and thoroughly catching up with everyone
  
• Sleeping in a double bed
  
• Having dinner cooked for me

DAVID'S CHALLENGE (Something you like that nobody knows about):

I really like telling pointless lies to strangers I'll never see again on the train. It's such a fun hobby cause you have unlimited freedom and creative control, just don't get caught out or you will look like a tool. The trip between Falmouth and Swindon has really put my stamina to the test cause you can sit next to somebody and literally be stuck with them for 5 hours so whatever I say has to have some sort of continuity. I've told someone that I was going to Edinburgh to visit my fiance (that one followed a lot of difficult questions), I was moving house bit by bit by train from Looe to Exeter, I was going on an exchange trip to Spain etc. etc. After a while, I got quite good at it but there was one time where I fell down cause I told somebody I was a massive Simply Red fan and they were all like 'Really? Me too! What's your favourite album!?' Shit.

So that's my unknown interest, it's pretty embarrassing but it makes the time pass quicker.

For the record David, I don't think poetry is anything to be embarrassed by. I used to really like reading poetry but I haven't done it in ages, some of the best poetry I've ever found has been spoken word online (Anis Mojgani is my favourite). I'd never heard of Buddy Wakefield or Rudy Francisco till I read your blog so thanks.

FOOD CHALLENGE:

I made a pie which looked just like Finn from Adventure Time, I took a photo on my phone but it turns out I don't have the cable here with me. So I made you this on paint to illustrate what it looked like.
